understand what leaves are and what they do.

Leaves are the world’s food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots and take CO2 from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose(葡萄糖), a kind of sugar. Plants use it as food for energy and growing.

A chemical called “chlorophyll” in the leaves gives plants their green colour. As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter, and trees “know” to begin getting ready for winter.

During winter, there is not enough sunlight or water. Trees rest during this time and live on the food they store during the summer. They begin to shut down their food-making factories. As the green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, we begin to see yellow and orange leaves.

The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees, like maples, sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn the glucose in the leaves into a red colour. And we can enjoy the beautiful red leaves during autumn.

【1】Which should be in the box?

A. air B. sugar C. water D. wind

【2】The underlined word “chlorophyll” means __________.

A. 叶绿素 B. 脂肪 C.蛋白质 D.淀粉

【3】The leaves turn yellow because they are short of(缺少) __________.

A. water and CO2 B. glucose and energy

C. sunlight and water D. sunlight and CO2/p>

【4】Which of the following is NOT true?

A. When autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter.

B. During winter trees live on the food they store in summer.

C. During winter some of yellow and orange colors are still in the leaves.

D. Trees begin to stop making food in summer.

【5】This passage tells us_____________.

A. the plants can grow well only with the sunlight

B. there are all kinds of plants on the earth

C. not all the colors of the leaves are from chlorophyll

D. maple leaves change the color as other trees

Taboos (禁忌) of different people’s culture

A taboo (忌讳，禁忌) is a social action that is not allowed. Every culture in the world has its own taboos. The breaking of a taboo sometimes makes people feel uncomfortable. I learned this through my own experience.

Last weekend, Wang Lin and I showed two foreigners (外国人) around our city. Mr Singh was from India and Mr. White from USA. When I held out my left hand to shake hands with him, Mr. Singh seemed to be unhappy. Mr. White, however, was quite casual (随意). He said hello to me with a big smile and a wave of his hand.

In the evening, we stopped at a restaurant for dinner. I noticed that Mr. Singh didn’t touch the beef and Mr. White seemed not to like chickens’ claws (爪). During the meal, Wang Lin said sorry to Mr. Singh and continued to explain that we didn’t know it was a taboo in India to shake one’s left hand. Mr. Singh explained that since oxen (牛) are sacred (神圣的) in India, people don’t eat beef there. Mr. White joined in and said that it was not usual in the USA for people to eat chickens’ claws. He went on to say that Americans don’t usually get into each other’s personal (私人的) space. Marriage, job and age are their taboos. Isn’t it a good lesson to remember?
