Day 12

Giving a gift that will stand the test of time is always a challenge, but giving plants is one

way to try. Whatever type of plant you choose, it’s sure to last longer than cut flowers___1___

The most important thing to consider is where it will live. If your friend’s place is bright and

sunny, a succulent( 多肉植物 )makes sense. ___2___Succulents naturally grow in desert-like

environments, while orchids(兰花)grow in damp forests.

___3___It can help you understand what conditions it prefers. So while picking out plant

gifts, ask the salesperson for more information to ensure what you choose is a match for where it

will end up.

Whatever plant you choose, make peace with the fact that it may or may not survive. After

all, a house’s inside is pretty dissimilar to where that plant naturally grows. So we can all only do

our best.___4__If their leaves dry up, they’re not getting enough water. If they’re reaching their

leaves toward the light, they may need more of it. So offer that advice to your friend, and then let

it go.

If you have a plant-interested friend on your gift list, why not choose a plant which is easy to

keep alive in his place and looks lovely? You don’t need to wrap it, as a simple bow is

enough.__5___It’s a way to ensure your gift gets a good start in life.

A You can always put them inside a paper bag.

B. But you can consider giving a nice pot and bag of soil.

C. Knowing the natural history of a plant is equally important.

D. Even ly experienced green thumbs sometimes lose

E. The key is to pay attention to plants-really look at them each day.

F. If you want to choose plants as gifts, the ideas below will help you on your way.

G. If your friend has a cool home with no direct sun, an orchid is probably a better choice.

Mountain

A mountain is a landform that rises high above its surroundings. Taller than a hill, it usually

has steep slopes and a rounded or sharp peak. Mountains are rarely found alone. ____1____ Lines

of ranges form mountain belts.

Some mountains were formed by the activity of volcanoes. Scientists believe that most

volcanic mountains are made up of rock that melted deep within earth. The rock rose through

Earth’s surface, or crust. It then flowed onto the surface in the form of lava. ____2____ Volcanic

mountains are typically steep. Mount Fuji in Japan, Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, and Mount

Rainier in the United States are examples of volcanic mountains.

Other mountains were formed by movements within Earth’s crust. The theory called plate

tectonics explains this type of mountain building. Earth’s crust is divided into huge pieces called

plates, which move very slowly. The continents sit on top of the plates and move with them. At

times the plates strike against each other, forcing the rock upward. The Himalayas of Asia are an

example of this type of mountain chain. _____3_____

Mountain ranges are natural barriers to travel. Roads are difficult to build across them.

Railroads need expensive tunnels to cross even low mountains. ____4____ They often form

borders between countries.

Life is hard in mountain lands. The high places of the world are cold and have little soil,

making farming difficult. ____5____ Skiing and climbing are popular mountain sports.

A. Groups of mountains are called ranges.

B. However, many mountain areas are vacation spots.

C. The lava, along with volcanic dust, built up to form mountains.

D. These colder climates strongly affect the ecosystems of mountains.

E. Thus the continental crust is normally much thicker under mountains.

F. Therefore mountain ranges tend to divide the people on either side of them.

G. They were formed when a plate carrying India struck against the Asian plate.
