Why Are Onions Amazing?
Onions are round and come in different colours like white, yellow and red. They have a strong smell and taste. When we cut them, they can make our eyes water. Many people enjoy eating them, but they are more than tasty. They are useful as well. High in vitamins, onions give great benefits to our bodies and help us stay healthy.
________________
A special plant called the corpse flower(巨魔芋)comes out this month in Australia. You can see a flower like this only once every few years. It does not smell sweet but like bad meat. Because it wants to draw in small insects to help them bring the pollen(花粉)to other places.
How Do Plants Work?
It's a quarter past seven. Here's Worker No.55 in his green clothes. He works in the leaf. He collects sunlight and CO2 during the day. Workers from the root give him water. Then the plant will make sugar, which is useful. It also makes oxygen(O2). Animals and humans need oxygen to breathe.

There is nothing better than a walk in the countryside for lifting our spirits. Getting close to nature can help us to be happy. For some people, the best way to improve our health is to walk slowly through a forest, but as we admire the trees around us, it's worth knowing these trees are more than just nice things.
We have already known trees produce O2 and clean the air we breathe by taking in CO2. But there is more to trees than we might think. Researchers have discovered that they are actually intelligent.
It's thought that trees talk and share things right under our feet, using a fungal network(真菌网络). Under the ground are tree roots, and thousands of very thin hyphae(菌丝)are among them. And research has shown that they are all connected with each other. They can help each other by sharing nutrients and they can even warn one another of the coming danger. Scientists say it's like the trees are talking to one another.
Dr Suzanne Simard has called this network the Wood Wide Web. She discovered that parent trees use this network to help their kids. Speaking to the BBC, she said, “We found that the parent trees would prefer to help those young plants of their own relatives compared with the young plants of the strangers by sending them more nutrients.”
So it seems that trees are really the stars of our natural world, and with so many of them on our planet, it's time to show them some care if we want them to grow well.

C
(菏泽期末改编)①Trees are important to us. They do a lot for us, our environment and animals.
②Trees help to keep the air clean and make us healthy. They take in dirty air and give clean air to us. Go for a walk in the park in the morning, and you can feel how nice it is to be with many trees and clean air.
③Trees also give us many kinds of beautiful flowers and delicious fruit such as apples and oranges. Trees give homes to different insects, birds and other animals. Even the sap(汁液)of trees is useful as food for insects.
④ ▲ We can use them in many ways. But we are hurting them and they can't grow back quickly. We cut down trees to make paper, desks and chairs. Also, we sometimes clear the forest to make space to build houses, shops and so on. Clearing the forest is bad. Many animals lose their homes because of this.
⑤It is time for us to stop hurting our great friends—trees. Use not as much paper and join treeplanting activities. All of us can do something for our dear friends!
