This helps them to see all directions. A chameleon grows, but its skin doesn’t. When the skin is too small, it comes off. The dead skin becomes the chameleon’s food.

If the prey gets close enough, a chameleon fires its tongue at a very high speed. The sticky(黏的) tongue can help it catch the prey easily.

Here are the steps to plant potatoes in your garden. First, choose strong and healthy seed potatoes. You need to cut large potatoes into smaller pieces, making sure each piece has at least one or two eyes. Then, let the cut-up potato pieces dry for a few days. This helps prevent rotting(腐烂). Next, prepare the soil. Dig a trench(沟) about 10～12 inches deep. After that, place the potato pieces in the trench, with the eyes facing up. One piece should be 12～15 inches from the next one. After that, cover the potato pieces with about 4～6 inches of soil. Then you can see the young potato plants come out from the soil in about seven days. As the potato plants grow, add more soil around the plants. This is called “hilling(培土)”. Hilling helps the plants produce more potatoes and also protects the potatoes from sunlight, which can turn them green and make them toxic(有毒的). Finally, water the potato plants when it is necessary. With proper care, you’ll be able to get fresh, delicious potatoes in a few months. 1. Why should we let the cut-up potato pieces dry for a few days before planting?(不超过5个词)　 2.

They are special and amazing! The chameleon is one of them. Chameleons can live in all kinds of places, including rainforests, lowlands, deserts and mountains. Most chameleons are from Madagascar and sub-Saharan Africa. Chameleons are famous because they can change colours. They can also move their eyes in two different directions at the same time. This helps them to see all directions. A chameleon grows, but its skin doesn’t. When the skin is too small, it comes off. The dead skin becomes the chameleon’s food. Chameleons eat small animals and insects. Their excellent eyesight allows them to find the movement of insects in the distance. If the prey gets close enough, a chameleon fires its tongue at a very high speed. The sticky(黏的) tongue can help it catch the prey easily. As of 2024, there are about 160 kinds of chameleons in the world, and many of them are endangered. So please give them a hand. （　D　）1.

Here are the steps to plant potatoes in your garden. First, choose strong and healthy seed potatoes. You need to cut large potatoes into smaller pieces, making sure each piece has at least one or two eyes. Then, let the cut-up potato pieces dry for a few days. This helps prevent rotting(腐烂). Next, prepare the soil. Dig a trench(沟) about 10～12 inches deep. After that, place the potato pieces in the trench, with the eyes facing up. One piece should be 12～15 inches from the next one. After that, cover the potato pieces with about 4～6 inches of soil. Then you can see the young potato plants come out from the soil in about seven days. As the potato plants grow, add more soil around the plants. This is called “hilling(培土)”. Hilling helps the plants produce more potatoes and also protects the potatoes from sunlight, which can turn them green and make them toxic(有毒的). Finally, water the potato plants when it is necessary. With proper care, you’ll be able to get fresh, delicious potatoes in a few months. 1. Why should we let the cut-up potato pieces dry for a few days before planting?(不超过5个词)　 To help prevent them rotting. 2. How deep should a trench for planting potatoes be?(不超过5个词) About 10～12 inches. 3. Would you like to plant potatoes in your garden? Why or why not?
