21、Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. So animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.

If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are many types of plants. Some plants are large while others are small. Most plants are green but a few of them have different colors, such as red, yellow and so on.

There are two types of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering(不开花的) plants. Flowering plants have roots (根), stems (茎；干), leaves, flowers and fruits. Almost all the trees around us are flowering plants. You can probably know some plants from their flowers or their fruits. Flowering plants can make seeds (种子). The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.

Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores (孢子). Spores are very, very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores fall on wet and shady(阴凉的) places, they usually grow into new plants.

【1】What fact does the passage make you believe?

A. Without plants, man will die out.

B. Spores are seeds.

A. plants are very different from each other

A. how plants can make food from air

22、Stephen Hawking is one of the most famous scientists in this century. He was born in 1942. He’s world famous on space and time. Stephen was searching some very big questions, such as “How did the universe begin? How will it end?”

Stephen was a student at Oxford University. He studied math and science. Then, at the age of twenty, he became sick.

He couldn’t feed himself and get in or out of bed himself. But he didn’t yield to the condition. He talked with the help of a computer. After Oxford, Stephen went to Cambridge University. Three years later, in 1965, he became a doctor of philosophy (哲学).

Because of his serious health problems, it was difficult for him to draw or to write. So he started to think in pictures.
