Have you heard of a cloud forest Is it the same as a rainforest Actually, it's a very special kind of forest in cloudy mountains. There, clouds brush against trees and wet their leaves. Rain falls almost every day. Hundreds of mosses (苔藓) grow and cover everything like a soft green coat.
Plants of cloud forests live in an unusual way. They grow on the branches of trees instead of on the ground. The air is very damp, so plants can get all the water they need from the fog and rain. They live on the high parts of trees so that they can get more light to grow stronger.
There are many kinds of special animals in cloud forests. For example, tree kangaroos live in trees like monkeys. They use their long tails to balance just as monkeys do. Frogs have suckers (吸盘) on their toes so they can climb up trees and cross leaves easily. Many other special animals are waiting for us to discover, aren't they
Cloud forests are important to people. They give us healthy food crops, such as wild beans, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes and strawberries. Furthermore, they offer new medicine to treat cancer. Unluckily, the beautiful forests are in danger now. Why Firstly, the climate is getting warmer, but plants and animals in cloud forests like to live in a cool place. It's difficult for them to find a proper place to live. Secondly, people cut down many trees to plant crops or feed cows. The animals are losing their homes.
Once cloud forests are gone, there must be a huge loss to humans. Save the cloud forests before it's too late!
6.What kind of weather can be expected in a cloud forest
A. It rains almost every day. B. It is always sunny.
C. It is very windy. D. It is very cold.

C. The animals are losing their homes because people cut down many trees.

The Power of Plants
Plants are very important to us. They provide food, medicine, and beauty. Today, I want to introduce one of the most resilient plants I know—bamboo.
Bamboo is truly a marvel of nature. It grows in many parts of Asia, particularly in mountainous areas. While other plants require specific conditions to survive, bamboo thrives as an incredibly strong and adaptable plant. I chose bamboo because it is one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth. Some bamboo can grow over 90 centimeters in just a single day! This rapid growth is not just fascinating but also highly beneficial. Moreover, it can be used to make furniture, paper, and even clothing. An interesting fact is that bamboo can also purify the air.
Let's protect plants like bamboo. They are not only useful but also demonstrate the power of nature. Every plant deserves our care and respect.
