Answer the questions.
1. The writer means that plants were the most important part of Wang Wencai’s life. He spent his whole life studying plants.
2. It means “not saying anything about”. These expressions have a similar meaning: “didn’t let anybody know” and “hardly mentioned it”.
3. The writer mentions “the seasons” to show that Wang Wencai was closely connected with the natural world.
A/B/C层
Think and share.
1. The title means that plants are important in Wang Wencai’s life. It also suggests that Wang spent his whole life studying plants.
2. I will use the words “hard-working”, “humble” and “respectable” to describe Wang Wencai. He was hard-working because he spent over 70 years studying plants and kept working even when he was seriously sick or lost sight in one eye. He was humble (谦虚的) because he did not care about personal honour or wealth and hardly talked about his achievements. He was respectable because he made great contributions to science and loved nature all his life.
