    　　Plants are very important living things．Life could not go if there were no plants．This is because plants can produce food from the air, water and sunlight．Animals and man cannot produce food from the air, water and sunlight as plants do．Animals get their food by eating plants or other animals which eat plants．So animals and man need plants in order to live．

    　　If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants：flowering plants and non-flowering ones．

    　　Flowering plants can make seeds．The seeds are protected by the fruits．Some fruits have one seed．Some have two, three or four．Some have many．But a few fruits have no seeds at all．An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana．

    　　Most non-flowering plants don't 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 the seeds．When these spores fall on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants．

    根据短文内容，判断下列句子是否正确，对的填(A)，错的填(B)。

    1．Plants are very important to life．

    2．Both animals and plants can produce food from the air, water and sunlight．

    3．Banana is a fruit that does not have seeds．

    4．All the flowering plants have many seeds．

    5．Spores can grow into new plants wherever they fall．

    答案：A,B,A,B,B

    　　What will the house of the future look like? Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects believe that they are all possibilities．The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible．

    　　The tree house

    　　Many architects in the world would like to build a “tree house．” Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day．The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home．The “root”(根)of the house is deep under the ground．It uses the soil(土壤)to the home’s temperature．

    　　The Lizard house

    　　Like a lizard(蜥蜴), changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house．When it’s in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat．During dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy．

    　　Meals at home

    　　This design is perhaps as much about the future of food production as architecture(建筑风格)．It has gardens on the outside wall of the house．People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them．So every day in the morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals．

    　　Learning from the past

    　　Looking to the future isn’t the only way to be green．Sometimes, ancient techniques(古老的技术)can also help cut down energy use．For example, a chimney(烟囱)can be a useful air conditioner because it is easier of hot air to flow out at the chimney．

    　　How many of us have looked up at the stars and wondered about other worlds?Of course，we know a great deal about the universe now but for people living thousands of years ago，the stars were a mystery(神秘的事物)．Astrology(占星术) is one of the world's most ancient (古代的) ideas．It started 3,000 years ago and was used to predict (预言) what would happen to countries and to people in the future．

    　　Horoscopes and astrology were developed by the ancient Greeks．They believed that the position(位置) of the sun and the planets could affect a person's life and what would happen to them in the future．Astrology is actually a Greek word that means“science of the stars”．Even famous Greek thinkers like Plato thought astrology was important and he studied it carefully．Later Europeans thought that Plato was a genius so they continued to follow his ideas about the stars．

    　　Some people think that farmers started the horoscope to help them decide when to plant and harvest their crops．They needed to know what time of the year it was．For example，Scorpio can only be seen in the evening sky in the summer．Some historians (历史学家) think that many of the myths (神话) associated with star signs were invented to help farmers remember cultures．People who spent their lives moving from one place to another，like the Mongols，used the stars to tell them when and where to go．

    　　The Catholic Church(教堂)，which was very powerful a long time ago，told people not to take notice of horoscopes．It was not until the seventeenth century that people were able to freely use the horoscope again．Today many people think the horoscope is just fun but some people take it very seriously．
