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.
1.________ is part of the air we breathe.
A.Sunlight B.Water C.Food D.Oxygen
2.What happens to most of the water that a plant takes in?
A.It goes back into the air. B.It stays in the plant.
C.It goes into the ground. D.It stays in the river.

Dear Nicole,
How are you? Do you enjoy your summer holiday? I’m sure you do.
It’s been two weeks since I returned to New Zealand, but I’m still thinking of the exciting city life in Hong Kong. In New Zealand, life is totally different. I miss the delicious sweet soup so much.
The weather has been bad these days. Yesterday I got a cold and didn’t go to school today. I hate taking medicine but I have to take it. I must get well soon because I will have tests on science and geography next week. I must prepare for the tests this time so that I won’t fail again.
I remember that you like our local hand cream (护手霜), but it is quite expensive in Hong Kong. I bought you some last weekend and I am sending it to you. It’s much cheaper here than in Hong Kong.
It’s almost the end of August. It’s time to pack (收拾) your school bag and get ready for the new school term. Take good care.
With love,
Judy
