阅读下文并回答问题。

Jeff is a hard-working farmer. He grows very good corn (玉米), and he often wins the corn competitions.

One day, a newspaper reporter found that Jeff shared his seed (种子) corn with his neighbors.

Why do you share your best seed corn with your neighbors? They also take part in the competitions, the reporter asked.

Jeff answered, "Didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and blows it from field to field. If my neighbors grow bad corn, my corn will be bad, too. If I want to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn.

This is the truth about life. You can't improve your corn if your neighbors' corn doesn't improve.

If you want to live well, you should help others to live well. If you want to be at peace, you should help others to be at peace. If you want to be happy, you should help others to get happiness. Your happiness and the happiness of others go together.

（1）、Who is famous for growing good corn?

（2）、What did a newspaper reporter find one day?

（3）、Why does Jeff share his seed com with his neighbors?

（4）、Do you agree with Jeff? Why or why not?

Many people seem to know well about the rain forests. Some people even go to the rain forests to spend some of their time trying to make friends with the plants and animals there. The scientists are actually hard at work studying the plants that grow in the very top level of a rain forest. Rain forests are one of the richest environments on Earth. They are home to millions of species of plants and animals. The red research raft provides scientists with a platform from which to study life in the treetops. Scientists can even sleep on the raft, so they can stay up in the treetops for days at a time.

Rain forests cover only about 6 percent of Earth's land surface. However, they contain more than half of the plant species on Earth. Many of these plants provide useful medicines to use against human diseases. In fact, about 25 percent of prescription medicines in the United States are based on chemicals from rain forest plants. Scientists think that many new medicines might be developed from plants that are yet to be discovered.

Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing. Rain forest trees are being cut down for wood. Huge chunks of the forests are cleared to provide land for farm animals and crops. Scientists haven't identified all the plants in these forests yet. Some scientists think thousands of kinds of plants that we'll never even know about are being destroyed each year.
