             Leaves are nature's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots. They take a gas
    called carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and CO2 into glucose. Glucose is a
    kind of sugar. Plants are glucose as food for energy to grow. The way plants turn water and CO2 into glucose
    is called photosynthesis. That means "putting together with light". A chemical called chlorophyll helps make
    photosynthesis happen. Chlorophyll is green. It gives plants their green colour.
             As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. This is how the trees "know" to
    begin getting ready for winter.
             During winter, there is now enough light or water for photosynthesis. The trees will rest, and live on the
    food they have stored during the summer. They begin to close their food-making factories. The green
    chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. Then, we begin to see yellow and orange colours. A few of these colors
    stay in the leaves all the time. We just can't see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green
    chlorophyll.        
              Red and purple colors we see in leaves are made mostly in the autumn. In some trees, like maples (枫树),
    glucose is stored in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn turn this
    glucose into red. The brown color of trees like oaks (橡树) is made from wastes left in the leaves.
    1. The word "chlorophyll" in the first paragraph means ____ in Chinese.
    A. 叶绿素
    B. 氧气
    C. 胡萝卜素
    D. 蛋白质
    2. Where is carbon dioxide from?
    A. Ground.
    B. Roots.
    C. Sunlight.
    D. Air.
    3. The way ______ is called photosynthesis.
    A. plants get carbon dioxide from the air
    B. plants take water from the ground
    C. plants turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose
    D. plants use glucose as food for energy to grow
    4. Red and purple colors in leaves are made mostly in ______.
    A. spring
    B. autumn
    C. summer
    D. winter
    5. ______ in the leaves changes into red color in autumn.
    A. Sunlight
    B. Water
    C. Glucose
    D. Chlorophyll

         Do you know that you can use your watch as a compass (指南针) on a sunny day? Take a watch and point
    the hour hand in the direction of the sun. Imagine a line which runs from the center of the watch through a point
    half way between the hour hand and number one. This line will surely point south.
         If you know astronomy a little, you will understand why this works. In the northern half of the earth, the sun
    is in the south at noon. In Russia, the real noon is one o'clock. If at that time we point the hour hand at the sun,
    the hour hand and the number one will point south. That is why you must imagine a line which will run from the
    center of the watch through a point half way between the hour hand and number one. It will point south. If you
    are in the southern part of our planet, you must point number 12 at the sun. The line which you can imagine
    between number twelve and the hour hand will then show north.
    1. When we carry out this experiment in the northern part of the earth, we should point _____ at the sun.
    A. number 12
    B. the minute-hand
    C. the hour hand
    D. number one
    2. What does the word "astronomy" mean in this passage?
    A. 天文学
    B. 地理学
    C. 宇航学
    D. 逻辑学
    3. The passage tells us that we can use a watch _____ on a sunny, day.
    A. to study the weather
    B. to show direction
    C. to enjoy ourselves
    D. to keep good time
    4. If you are in Australia, which tithe following is the,right way to show north?

                      A                              B                            C                            D
    5. What's the best title for this passage?
    A. Your Watch Becomes a Compass
    B. The Story of a Watch
    C. An Interesting Watch
