Companion planting is the idea that some kinds of plants can help each other grow. Plants that are compatible（兼容的，能共处的） together generally have similar needs in terms of nutrients，soil and moisture levels.

Advice about which plants are compatible is sometimes based more on tradition than proof. But experts say there is evidence to support certain combinations. These can improve harvests，reduce disease and help with pest control by attracting helpful insects.

For example，some kinds of soil bacteria take nitrogen from the air and make it into a form that plants can use. The plants hold the nitrogen in their roots. Legumes(豆科植物)are especially good at this nitrogen(氮)fixing. Then any crops that share the same space with the legumes can get the nitrogen when the roots are broken down.

Beans and potatoes can also share territory well because their roots reach different levels in the soil. Deep-rooted vegetables get nutrients and moisture from lower down in the soil，so they do not complete with plants with shallower roots.

But some plants placed together may harm each other's development. For example，tomatoes do not like wet soil but watercress does，so you would probably want to keep them separated.

Some kinds of produce should be kept apart even after being harvested. This is because of ethylene gas(乙烯气体)．Ethylene is a plant hormone(激素)that can cause some foods to ripen too quickly. Apples release ethylene gas. Apricots，melons and tomatoes also release a lot of ethylene. Some vegetables are easily affected by ethylene，including asparagus，broccoli，cabbage and cucumbers.

This risk of ripening too soon is why markets often separate high ethylene-producing foods from those that are sensitive to the gas. But if you put an apple in a bag with a green banana，the ethylene from the apple will make the banana ready to eat sooner.

What about peaches，plums and nectarines? These kinds of fruit do not need any help from an apple—they release enough ethylene to ripen themselves. But that does not mean there is no way to get the job done faster.

Growers suggest placing the fruit in a fruit bowl or in a paper bag with the top folded over. Keep the fruit at room temperature，out of direct sunlight. Once the fruit is soft enough，either use it or put it in the refrigerator to keep it from getting too ripe.

1.Companion planting refers to the idea that 　　　　　 ．

A. some crops can grow together to benefit each other

B. some crops have the similar needs of nutrients，soil and water level

C. some plants can damage each other if grown together

D. a good farming method to prevent natural disasters

A. beans and potatoes B. tomatoes and watercress

A. To improve the quality of fruits. B. To produce a poisonous gas.

C. To keep vegetables fresh. D. To make fruits ripe earlier.

4.The text is most likely to be taken from　　　　　 ．

Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper—a little bird called a honey guide.

The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives(蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax(蜂蜡), always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.

Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.

1.Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?

A. It's small in size. B. It's hidden in trees.

C. It's covered with wax. D. It's hard to recognize.

2.What do the words "the follower" in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. A bee. B. A bird.

C. A honey seeker. D. A beekeeper.

3.The honey guide is special in the way ______.

A. it gets its food B. it goes to church

C. it sings in the forest D. it reaches into bees' nests

4.What can be the best title for the text?

A. Wild Bees B. Wax and Honey

C. Beekeeping in Africa D. Honey-Lover's Helper
