People depend on plants. We use plants for food, cloth, shelter (住处), and even the air we breathe (呼吸).
Plants keep our air and water clean. Green plants give us oxygen (氧气). Oxygen is part of the air we breathe.
Plants are also part of the water cycle (水循环). Most of the water that a plant takes in goes back into the air.
Plants give us a lot of the food on the earth. Fruits, vegetables, and grains (谷物) come from plants. Without plants, we would not have bread, rice, carrots, apples, oranges, or bananas! Many people are growing plants to eat in their own gardens at home. Having your own garden helps the earth as well.
When you grow your own fruits and vegetables, you help cut down on pollution because big trucks don’t need to take your food to shops. You also help reduce the amount of rubbish because you don’t need to use bags for packing your food. You can just pick it out of the ground or off a plant and put it into a basket!
Trees are an important plant resource (资源). Trees provide wood to build homes and furniture. Trees are used to make lots of things around your home and at your school. And trees provide fruits that are good for you. Without trees, the earth would be a very different place.

In my everyday life, I often have a lot of waste things, like broken slippers (拖鞋), old computers, old newspapers and so on. I always collect them to recycling center. I can not only deal with the waste in a good way, but also can get some pocket money by selling them.
Sally: Store them
Every day I must buy some food to cook meals for my family. After the meals some vegetables and meat are left on the table. Because nobody wants to eat them again, I have to throw them as waste. I always store them at the corner of my garden. Some time later, they will become the plants excellent food.

Have you ever been on a student exchange program? How useful was it? We asked three people for their opinions.
Ellen
I spent 8 days in Germany when I was studying for my Level A. I went to school every day, and spent the evenings with a family. It was great because I had to speak German all the time. However, the most useful thing was that I was paying more attention to communicating in the language, instead of speaking perfectly correct German. I was really glad that people could understand what I was saying. I’d certainly introduce it to other students studying languages.
Frank
I went on an exchange with my class for a week in Japan. Before the exchange, I thought my understanding of grammar was pretty good, but I had much trouble listening and speaking. So, what I thought most meaningful was that I had no choice but to use everyday language skills, rather than the language from books. If I had the opportunity, I’d certainly take part in another language exchange.
Alice
I took part in a French exchange. It lasted two weeks and I stayed with my exchange family in a small town just outside Paris. I’m quite a shy person, so in the first few days, I was kind of nervous, but then it was fine. I love French and my French has always been good. But the exchange really helped develop my speaking skills, and made me a much more confident person. It felt great to be able to talk with French people. I also found that everyone who took part in the exchange did a lot better in their end-of-year exams.
1.How long did Frank stay in Japan?
A.A week B.Eight days. C.Two weeks. D.Half a year.
2.What did Alice think about her exchange?
A.It developed her listening skills. B.It made her more confident.
C.It taught her exam skills. D.It took too much of her time.
3.All three people would most likely describe their exchange as .
A.tiring B.exciting C.boring D.helpful
4.Who will be interested in the passage above?
A.Students who are learning a foreign language.
B.Students who want to work as teachers later.
C.Students who are interested in traveling abroad.
D.Students who are not doing well in their studies.

For thousands of years, people have used plants to make medicines. They used different parts of the plants —the roots, the leaves, the flowers, and the bark (树皮). Today, doctors have rediscovered more medicinal (药用) values of some plants. Let’s look at some examples.
Foxglove is a common plant. People have used it to make the heart slow down. Recently scientists have developed another drug from it. This new drug helps prevent other heart problems.
In some areas, malaria has been a problem. Scientists have learned that the bark of a South American tree, the cinchona, can be made into a drug to prevent malaria. For a long time, the Chinese have known that a special plant, wormwood, can also fight malaria. Scientists have been working with it to develop new drugs against malaria.
In Germany, some scientists studied garlic (大蒜) for four years. They found that it helps prevent the build-up of plaque (血小板) because too much plaque is bad for health. This very common plant continues to be studied.
As we know, there are about 250,000 kinds of flowering plants in the world. Scientists have only studied little more than one percent of plants for their medicinal value. Maybe medicines for AIDS and cancer will be made from the other 99 percent.
1.What can foxglove be used for?
A.Studying plants.
B.Building up the plaque.
C.Treating AIDS and cancer.
D.Preventing heart problems.
2.What does the underlined word “malaria” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是)?
A.A drug. B.A plant.
C.An illness. D.An animal.
3.How many plants are mentioned in the passage?
A.3. B.4. C.5. D.6
4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Past and future
B.Plants and medicine
C.Health and illness
