   Why do plants grow in some places and not in others? Why does some land have so much growing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?

   To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the Earth only a few unusual plants can grow. That's why dry deserts everywhere are almost not covered by trees or grass.

   Plants must also have a place in which to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built on hard land. The plants here have only the soil found between the cracks of the stones to grow in.

   Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food.

   What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as beach grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won't. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no food for plants.

46. According to the passage, plants need ______ things to grow well.

   A. two                    B. three                 C. four                  D. five

47. What does the underlined word "cracks" mean in the text?

48. From the passage, we can know it is           for plants to grow in dry places.

   A. easy                   B. difficult            C. impossible         D. important

49. The reason why most plants can't grow on the sandy beach is that _______.

   A. there isn't enough sunlight                B. there is too much water

The Earth needs a helping hand

   The Earth is getting warmer because of the activities of people. We cut down and burn   56   and send gases into the air with our cars and factories. Can we do anything about it? Sure. We may   57   be leaders or scientists but we can play our part in   58    the planet. Here are two ideas.

Bike, don't ride to school

   Do you   59    to school by bus or by bike? If you bike, you are doing   60    for the Earth. Buses, cars, trains and planes produce a lot of carbon dioxide (二氧化碳). If you live near to your school,   61   not bike there on warm spring mornings? Or, you can   62    walk to school to save energy.

Wash the green way

   Do you help your mom and dad wash clothes? Then wash them   63    an energy-saving way. A recent study by Cambridge University found    64    60 percent of the energy used on a piece of clothing is    65    in washing and drying it. Over it a lifetime, a T-shirt can send up to 4 kilograms of carbon dioxide into the air.

   66    you wash your own clothes, wash them in cold or warm water to save energy, but not hot water. Wash your clothes when   67   fill up the machine. Use the most energy-saving machine you can find. Some new ones use as    68    as one-fourth of the energy of older machines. When they're clean, dry    69    clothes the natural way, by hanging them   70  a line rather than putting them in a dryer. In all, you can cut the carbon dioxide used in washing by 90 percent.
