During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks (树干) sticking up in the air. But when the rainy season comes, leaves appear and then flowers come out. Later the flowers can turn into fruit.
③Baobabs are called “the tree of life”, because they can live longer than 1,000 years old. In the dry land, the baobab can hold up to 120,000 liters of water. Thirsty people can drink the water stored in the tree. The fruit, monkey bread, is good to eat.
④Baobab leaves are a kind of medicine. People can use the bark to make paper or cloth. When a baobab gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people.

Should parents ask their children to do chores Some don’t think that children should do chores, because they think children are too young. But many people think that children should do chores.
In fact, children can get a sense of happiness when they do chores. Parents should help children learn to do housework that they will have to do when they live on their own.
Most experts (专家) agree that children can learn a lot from doing chores. However, parents should ask the child to do chores at the right time. Parents shouldn’t ask a schoolboy to cook when he is doing his homework. And parents shouldn’t ask their children to do all chores. Children should do chores for half an hour every day.
The chores should suit (适合) the child. When a child does what his parents ask him to do happily, he will probably have the feeling of growing up. Parents can teach children something useful by doing chores. And please make sure that parents also do chores. Parents are children’s good models (榜样). If parents don’t keep the house clean, children won’t find any reason to do chores.
