My name’s Robinson Crusoe and I’m 72 years old now. When I was a young man of 19, I left home for the sea. I had many adventures and I’d like to tell you about them. I was born in 1632.My two brothers were both older than me. When I was l8, My father told me to get a job and settle down! But I wanted to go outside to see the world. My parents were sad about it. They even cried so I stayed at home with them. I tried to forget my dreams, but I couldn’t. About a year later I went to Hull with some friends. One of them was leaving for London on his fathers’ ship. “Why don’t you come with us, Robinson?" he said. "There's space for you on the ship." I decided to go with him and that evening I went on board a ship for the first time. It was lst September 1651.When we sailed out of Hull, a strong wind started to blow. The ship went up and down, up and down on the waves.
I felt very ill. "I'm going to die. I thought as I lay on my bed. The storm got worse during the night. I couldn't sleep. “please, God" I said. "Don’t let me die! If you let me live I promise to go back home." The weather was better the following day. There was still a strong wind but the sea was calmer. That night I slept well. The next morning, the sun was shining and the sea was calm. My friend and I had a drink and I felt very happy. I completely forgot my promise to God. After a few days of good weather there was another storm. This one was worse than the one before. I was very afraid. The sailors were too. The captain fired the guns to call for help. Soon some men in a small boat arrived and saved us. Luckily we all got off the ship just before it went down.

In some areas of the world,the weather changes in the fall, making the air turn cold. During this time, many leaves also change 1 .Why does this happen?
First let's think about why some trees 2 their leaves before winter. In the winter,it would take a lot of 3 and water for plants to keep their leaves healthy. 4 winter is cold, dry, and usually there isn't much sun which helps give plants energy.So, instead of trying to keep their leaves, some plants drop their 5 and seal the spots on their branches.
How is this related to what makes leaves colourful?
Leaves are coloured by pigments(色素). The pigment that causes leaves to be 6 is
chlorophyll(叶绿素). Chlorophyll is 7 for plants to make food using sunlight. During spring and summer when there is plenty of 8 , plants make a lot of chlorophyll.
In 9 when it starts to get cold,some plants stop making chlorophyll. Instead, those plants break down chlorophyll into smaller molecules(分子). As chlorophyll goes away,other pigments start to 10 their colours.This is why leaves turn yellow or red in the fall.
The colour change usually happens 11 the leaves fall off the tree. Why?It takes a lot of energy to make chlorophyll. If the plants break down the chlorophyll and move it out of their leaves before the leaves fall, plants can 12 energy. The plants can reabsorb(重吸收) the molecules that make up chlorophyll. Then, when it’s warm and sunny enough to 13 again, the plants can use those molecules to remake the chlorophyll. That way the plants don’t have to make chlorophyll from scratch.
There are other pigments in leaves 14 carotenoids(类胡萝卜素). Carotenoid are yellow and orange. Anthocyanidins(花青素) are other plant pigments. These pigments cause red, pink, or purple colours. Anthocyanidins also 15 leaves from being eaten or getting sun burned.
So the different colours in leaves are caused by changes in the pigments. When the weather changes, some plants break down all the green pigments. This lets beautiful yellow, orange and red come through in the fall.
