Unit 4 Amazing Plants and Animals

The red panda is a small animal that lives in the mountain forests of China, Nepal and India. It has soft reddish-brown fur and a long bushy tail. The tail is very useful: it keeps the red panda warm in cold weather and helps it balance when climbing trees. Red pandas mainly eat bamboo, but they also love fruits and nuts. They are “nocturnal (夜行动物)”—they sleep in tree holes during the day and look for food at night. Now red pandas are in danger because their living areas are getting smaller. Many countries are working to protect these lovely animals.

Passage 2: The Venus Flytrap
The Venus flytrap is a special plant that can catch insects. It grows in the wetlands (湿地) of North America. The plant has leaves that look like small traps. Each leaf has two parts with tiny hairs on them. When an insect touches the hairs twice, the trap closes quickly—usually in less than a second! Once the insect is trapped, the plant secretes (分泌) digestive juices (消化液) to break down the insect and get nutrients (营养). It does this because the soil in its habitat (栖息地) is poor in nutrients. After digesting the insect, the trap opens again to catch another one.

Passage 3: The Giant Tortoise
The giant tortoise (巨型陆龟) lives on some islands in the Pacific Ocean. It is one of the largest tortoises in the world—an adult can weigh up to 200 kilograms and live for over 100 years! Giant tortoises have thick, heavy shells (壳) that protect them from enemies. They move very slowly—only about 0.3 kilometers per hour. They mainly eat grass, leaves and fruits. Because they live on islands, there were few enemies in the past. But now, some animals (like rats) brought by humans eat their eggs. So giant tortoises are in danger. People are now protecting their eggs and building safe areas for them.

Passage 4: The Bamboo Plant
Bamboo is a special plant that grows very fast. Some kinds of bamboo can grow up to 1 meter per day! It grows in many parts of the world, especially in Asia. Bamboo is not a tree—it’s a type of grass. It has long, thin stems (茎) that are strong and flexible (柔韧的). People use bamboo for many things: they make furniture (家具), baskets and even houses from it. In some countries, people also eat bamboo shoots (竹笋)—they are crispy and delicious. Bamboo is also important for animals like pandas—pandas eat almost only bamboo. So protecting bamboo forests is important for pandas.

Passage 5: The Firefly
The firefly (萤火虫) is a small insect that can glow (发光) at night. It has a special part in its body that makes light—this is called “bioluminescence (生物发光)”. Fireflies glow for two reasons: to attract mates (吸引配偶) and to warn enemies (警告敌人) that they are not good to eat. Most fireflies live in warm, wet places like forests and fields. They eat small insects and nectar (花蜜). In summer evenings, you can see many fireflies flying and glowing—they look like small stars on the ground. But now, light pollution (光污染) from cities makes it hard for fireflies to glow and find each other. So their numbers are getting smaller.
