V. 阅读表达
Not everyone loves earthworms(蚯蚓). Some people feel uncomfortable when they see them. Yet these small animals are very important. In fact, we should thank earthworms for many of the delicious and healthy foods on our plates. They are good friends of the farmers.
Earthworms can be found in most places around the world. They live their whole lives in soil(土壤). An earthworm has no eyes, ears, or nose. Instead, it senses the dark environment through the nerve cells(神经细胞) along its body. These nerve cells help the earthworm move through the soil. Most earthworms are generally between 10 and 30 centimeters long. However, if you traveled to Australia, you might see the world's longest earthworm-the Gippsland earthworm. It can grow up to 3 meters long.
Earthworms help farmers in several ways. As they move through the soil, they create tunnels(管状通道). Plants grow poorly if the soil is too dry and hard. The tunnels help air and water reach the underground parts of plants. This makes the soil wet and loose(疏松的). Earthworms also eat dead leaves and dead plants. Then they pass the waste(粪便) into the soil. Their waste is filled with nutrients(营养). This makes the soil rich.
The earthworms may be small, but they are very important. They help feed us and keep us healthy.
1. How does the earthworm sense the dark environment? (no more than 8 words)
_________________________________________________________________________________________2. How long is the world's longest earthworm? (no more than 6 words)
_________________________________________________________________________________________3. How do earthworms help farmers? (no more than 15 words)
