Read and answer
Read something about the Eden Project and answer the questions.
1. What are the “biomes” at the Eden Project
2. Why does the Eden Project collect so many plants
The Eden Project is a huge garden in Cornwall, England, where you can explore plants from all over the world. It’s not just a garden, but also a place to learn about nature and the environment.
The Eden Project has big, bubble-like domes (圆顶状物) made of glass, called biomes, which house different types of plants. One biome has tropical (热带的) plants from rainforests, while another has plants from Mediterranean (地中海的) regions.
The Eden Project was built in a former clay pit (陶土坑), a place that was once empty and not very useful. Workers dug into the land and created the biomes, using special materials to keep the plants safe and healthy. It opened to the public in 2001 and has since become a popular spot for visitors.
The Eden Project collects so many plants because it wants to show how important plants are for our planet. It also helps people understand how climate change and pollution can hurt plant life. By collecting plants from different parts of the world, the Eden Project is helping to protect endangered species and teach everyone about the need to care for the Earth.
