Try to think about it: you sit down and begin to eat a tomato. Suddenly, it screams(尖叫)! Just like humans, plants have ways to show they’re not okay.

Hippos are called “river horses”. They are one of the biggest land animals in Africa.
Usually, in most photos of these huge African animals, we can see them in the water. The reason is that hippos stay in the water for 16 hours a day to keep themselves cool in hot weather in Africa. They sleep in the water, and their babies are also born there. You may think hippos live only in rivers and lakes, and that they are good at swimming. However, they can’t swim. They are just so big that they can walk in the water and stand on the bottom of a lake. They can breathe(呼吸), see and hear when their bodies are under the water because their noses, eyes and ears are on the top of their heads. When the sun goes down, hippos will come out of the water and travel to look for food.
It’s easy to think hippos are funny and friendly animals. In fact, they are easy to be angry and often fight. Why do hippos fight They fight with lions for land or rivers. They fight to protect their young babies. They also attack(攻击)the boats for their safety if the boats come too close to them. Hippos are very dangerous!
Hippos may look like big, slow animals, but they can run fast—about 30 kilometers an hour. That’s faster than a person can run. In a word, if you meet hippos in the wild, just stay away from them!

They made clothes with silk, sold them to the west of the world and brought back what they needed. Another famous tree-planting lover, Zhuge Liang, planted 800 mulberry trees and left them to his children after his death to support their lives.
Dong Feng, a famous doctor in the Three Kingdoms Period(三国时期), saved many people’s lives. He didn’t ask them for money. What he only asked for was to plant apricot trees(杏树)on a hill.

There are many delicious fruits in autumn. Many people like fruits because they are sweet. Do you know why fruits are sweet
The answer is very easy. Fruits are sweet because trees are smart. For some trees, the key to survival(生存)is bearing(结出)sweet fruits. Some animals eat the fruits. Their seeds(种子)can move to new places with the help of the animals. For example, bears like apples’ sweet taste. They eat apples and carry the seeds in their stomachs. The bears don’t stay in the same place all the time. They walk around instead. They stop in a new place. The seeds come out of the bears’ bodies in the new place and fall onto the ground. Some time later, the seeds might grow into new trees.
Moving the seeds to a different place is really important and it is a new tree’s start. In this way, it doesn’t have to compete(竞争)with its nearby trees for the water or the sun.
However, not all fruits are sweet. Some fruits are sour, such as lemons. Maybe you don’t like lemons, but some animals enjoy lemons. They help lemon trees spread seeds.
How clever the trees are! They can start the new lives without too much trouble.
( ) 70. How do animals help seeds move to new places
A. By flying the seeds in the wind.
B. By throwing the seeds far away.
C. By planting the seeds in the ground.
D. By carrying the seeds in their stomachs.
( ) 71. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us
A. Why not all fruits are sweet.
B. When the seeds start their new lives.
C. How the seeds get the water and the sun.
D. Why moving the seeds to a different place is important.
( ) 72. What does the underlined word “spread” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Enjoy something very much.
B. Leave something important.
C. Move something to another place.
D. Find something in a different place.

But I’m still unhappy. I miss my mom! I like to swim. I often swim in the water in the evening. Could you please send me back to my mom ”
A little turtle says, “Please don’t touch(碰)me. I’m from India. I have some things on my back. They look like stars. When I meet my enemies(敌人)in the wild, they can help me.

十、Dear Henry,
How is everything going I like wild animals very much. I want to invite you to study my favourite animal with me.
My favourite wild animal is the tiger. Some live in North-east China. I like tigers because they are big and strong. They prefer to live alone and can run fast. They are also good swimmers and climbers.
When we visit them, we should take some water as it takes hours to watch them closely. Don’t forget to bring a pair of binoculars.
Sadly, tigers are in danger. People cut down too many trees so they have no place to live in. We can make some posters to let others know the importance of protecting them.
I will be very happy if you can join me. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
