What is a grassland?
A grassland is a biome(生物群落区) that is covered with grasses. Grass is everything to a grassland. Grass is food for animals. Grass can keep the grassland warm and wet. Grass stops the wind from blowing away the soil(土壤).
There are two kinds of grasslands. Temperate grasslands are one kind. Temperate means the environment has a mild climate(温和气候) and four seasons. Temperate grasslands have rich soil. Tropical grasslands are the other kind. Tropical means the environment is near the equator and is warm all year round. Tropical grasslands have a rainy season and a dry season. They usually have more trees and poorer soil than temperate grasslands.
Both temperate and tropical grasslands have a yearly rainfall of 25 to 75 centimeters. With so little rain, the land can dry out. Fires can start easily.
What adaptations(适应性) help grassland plants and animals survive(存活)?
Different grasslands have different kinds of grasses. However, nearly all grassland grasses have adaptations to growing well in dry conditions.
Grasses have deep rots. The roots can take in water and keep nutrients(营养). When a fire burns, everything above ground is destroyed(破坏). Down below, the roots survive. They hold on to their water and nutrients.
After a fire, new stalks can grow from the roots. The old, dead grass becomes part of soil. Gradually, the soil gets richer and richer.
Most grasses have adaptations to growing from the roots. This helps them survive and grow after animals eat the tops of the plants.
Trees that grow in tropical grasslands also have adaptations that help them survive. For example, the baobab tree grows leaves only during the wet season. It loses its leaves during the dry season.
Many kinds of animals live in grasslands. All of them have adaptations that help them survive. Some grassland animals have flat teeth for eating grass. For example, with their flat teeth, zebras bite off(咬下)the tops of grasses that are difficult to cut.
(1)、What plays the most important role in a grassland?A、The tree. B、The soil. C、The grass. D、The animal.(2)、What do the two kinds of grasslands have in common?A、The kind of grasses. B、The kind of climate. C、The number of seasons. D、The low yearly rainfall.(3)、What can help grass grow well in dry conditions?A、Big fires. B、Deep roots. C、Rich soil. D、New stalks.(4)、Which of the following is TRUE?A、Zebras use flat teeth for biting off grasses. B、After a fire, the grass on the grassland dies forever. C、The leaves of the baobab trees drop during the wet season. D、Most grasses can't grow after animals eat the tops of the plants.(5)、What does this passage mainly talk about?A、Life in the grassland. B、Fires in the grassland. C、Plants in the grassland. D、Climate of the grassland. -

Emily was always a hard-working girl. However, homework was her weak point. She found it difficult to stay focused (注意力集中于) and often put off doing her homework until the last minute. But Emily had a dream: to be a successful writer.
One day, her English teacher asked them to write an article about the importance of character development in novels. Emily felt unhappy. She loved reading novels, but writing articles always seemed like a bad dream.
As soon as Emily got home, her mother saw her unhappy face and talked with her patiently. So she decided to follow her mother's advice and deal with her homework differently this time. Instead of fearing the task, Emily chose a novel that she really enjoyed. As she lost herself in the story, she noticed how the characters developed over time and how important their growth was to the whole story. She also realized that the characters' development was what made the novel so interesting and enjoyable. Then Emily began to sit down to write her article.
As she wrote, Emily realized that homework wasn't just about pleasing her teacher or getting good grades. It was about personal growth and discovery. And it was about finding her own voice and expressing her ideas and opinions. After she finished the article, she felt very happy.
From then on, Emily did her homework carefully and happily. She saw it as a chance to learn more about herself and the world around her.
(1)、What was Emily's weak point in her studies?(2)、What did Emily dream of being?(3)、Who asked Emily to write an article about the importance of character development in novels?(4)、What did Emily choose to read?(5)、How did Emily feel after she finished the article? -
