“Spending his whole life as a farmer, my grandpa liked to grow vegetables in our garden when he was older,” Zhang said. “I also learned from him to grow my own vegetables on my balcony, and it brought me good memories(回忆).”
Unlike Zhang, Yang Jing from a university thinks differently.
“I have too much homework every day. I always thought my boring life never ended. But when I saw the balcony idea from a website, my life changed! I started planting vegetables on my balcony one year ago. I got most of the seeds from my friends, but I didn't know what plant seeds they were. So I just planted them and waited patiently. Half a year later, my balcony became a small beautiful garden. Now, every time I spend long hours on homework, I would like to walk to my balcony to relax,” said Yang.

Plants have roots, leaves, and flowers. They have seeds(种子), too. New plants grow from seeds. Some seeds fall on the ground. New plants grow next to the old plants. When plants grow this way, they are too crowded to get enough sunshine and water. So some of them die. But some plants spread their seeds even far from where they live.

The wind helps seeds to travel. Some plant seeds have little wings. When the wind blows, the seeds fly away. Soon they fall to the ground and new plants may grow there. Some plants dry up. The wind pulls them from the ground, but they are so big that they can't fly. They roll along the ground, dropping off their seeds.
Other plants grow near the water. Their seeds drop into the water and go away with it. They may travel many miles before they stop.
Some seeds have special parts called “stickers”. The stickers help the seeds travel far. How? These seeds wait for an animal to walk by. Then they stick into its fur to get a free ride. Sometimes it's a long trip. Birds carry some plant seeds to new places, too.

Plants and animals are living things. All living things need food for energy. Without a way to get energy, they would die. Plants and animals get their food in different ways.
A plant uses the energy in sunlight to make food for itself. Without sun or oxygen, small plants would not be able to grow into bigger plants. If you put a seed in the ground and give it water and energy from the sun, it will grow. It will grow into good food for other living things, mainly animals.
Some animals, such as cows and pandas, eat plants. Some animals eat other animals. We call these animals carnivores(食肉动物). Still, plants feed all animals! How? Think of a tiger. The tiger eats animals that eat plants. Without plants, the tiger would have nothing to eat.

Today, the world's diversity(多样性)of food crops is quickly decreasing. But scientists around the world are taking action. They are building seed banks. At seeds banks, scientists store the seeds of many different crops.
There are now 1,400 seed banks around the world. However, some banks are in warm countries. If the electricity fails, the seeds will get too hot and die. Other seed banks are in countries troubled by war. Sometimes people damage the seed banks. If this happens, valuable seeds can be lost forever!
The organization Global Crop Diversity Trust decided they wanted to deal with this problem. So, they decided to build a global seed bank.This seed bank would contain a backup, or extra copy, of all the world's seeds.Smaller seed banks would still collect and keep local seeds. But they would also send copies of their seeds to the global bank.
Scientists from the Global Crop Diversity Trust chose the cold, snowy mountain of Svalbard, Norway to build the global seed bank—the Svalbard Global Seed Vault(斯瓦尔巴全球种子库). Organizations, farmers, or local seed banks store their extra seeds there. And the people who place their seeds in the vault are the only people who can take them out. They pay to ship their seeds to Norway, but it does not cost them any money to store their seeds. The Global Crop Diversity Trust pays for this.
Cary Fowler is a scientist who heads the Global Crop Diversity Trust. He said, “If the Seed Vault simply supplies seed banks with copies of seeds that those banks lost by accident, the Seed Vault will be worth way more than it cost.”
(C)1.Seeds banks are built to .
A.research on seeds
B.produce new seeds
C.protect crop diversity
D.increase the number of seeds
(B)2.The author's purpose in paragraph 2 is .
A.scientists store the seeds of many different crops at seed banks
B.if seed banks are destroyed,valuable seeds will be lost forever
C.scientists want to build a global seed bank
D.the people who place their seeds in the vault are the only people who can take them out
(D)3.Compared with other seed banks,the global seed bank .
A.was built by the government
B.is more welcomed by farmers
C.is mainly used by great scientists
D.can provide a good environment for seeds
(A)4.What is Gary Fowler's attitude towards the Seed Vault?
A.He feels it is very important.
B.He is surprised at it.
C.He thinks it costs too much.
D.He is uncertain about it.

Good afternoon, everyone,
I'm so glad to stand here and give my speech. My name is Li Hua. The topic of my speech is “Protecting trees”. Trees are essential to our health and the health of our environment. If we don't protect the trees well, how can we live in harmony with nature?
To protect the trees, we ought to keep in mind that there are many things we can do in our daily life. First, we can share the knowledge of protecting trees with others. Second, we can choose to use both sides of paper as often as possible so as to protect our forests. Moreover, we must plant as many trees as possible. It's high time that we took action to protect the trees.
That's all! Thanks for your attention.
