Nearly all our food comes from the soil（土地）. Some of us eat meat, of course, but animals live on plants. If there were no plants, we would have no animals and no meat. So the soil is very necessary for life. The top of the ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. There may be dead leaves and dead plants on the grass. The waste matter（粪）from animals also falls on it.
All soil needs food. If we do not give it any, the plants will be weak. Farmers found that animals' waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers（化肥）are also very useful. The same crop（庄稼）should not be grown in the same place every year, it's better to have a different crop. A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land good.

（1）、Which of the following is true?

A、All our food comes from the soil. B、Most of our food comes from soil. C、None of our food comes from the soil. D、All our food comes from animals.

（2）、What does the writer tell us in the first paragraph?

A、Leaves, plants, grass and waste live on each other. B、There would be no animals without meat. C、There would be no plants without animals. D、People, animals, plants and soil live on each other

（3）、Which is the best food for soil in the field?

A、Chemical fertilizers. B、Plants and grass. C、Animals' waste. D、Different crops.

（4）、Why do we often grow a different crop in the same place every year?

A、Because we can keep the soil rich this way. B、Because we don't have enough land. C、Because we want to have a different food. D、Because we do this as a habit（习惯）.

As we all know, the ocean moves. But waves breaking on the beach make the ocean fun. When you stand on the shore and look at the waves, it seems like the water is moving towards you. But the water is not really moving forward. The moving you see is wave energy. And wave energy comes from the wind.
Let's think about how this works. As wave energy passes through the water, the energy makes particles （粒子） of water move up and down. Just give you an example of a wave passing under a basketball. We put a basketball on the sea. When the wind blows, a wave comes from behind the basketball. The basketball moves up to the top with the wave. Then the wave continues and leaves the basketball behind. The basketball looks lower, but it doesn't move forward. That's because the wave energy just moves the water which is under the basketball.
　 So why can you see a wave knock you down on the shore？When a wave moves toward the shore, the bottom of the wave slows down because it meets the ocean floor. But the top, which is called crest(浪峰), keeps moving. The different action causes the wave to fall over or break onto the shore. If a wave is very large, it carries a lot of energy when it hits the land. As time goes by, waves can break up and carry away the rocks and other things on the shore. Shorelines are changing all the time because of wave action.

Why do plants grow in some places and not in others? Why does some land have so many plants growing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on at all?

To grow, plants need some things. One is warmth. In very cold places, almost nothing grows, Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the Earth, only a few unusual plants can grow. That's why dry deserts(沙漠）almost don't have trees or grass.

Plants must also have a place in which to put down their roots（根）and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is on hard land. The plants here can only grow in the soil（土壤）between the cracks of the stones.

Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food.

What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy（有沙的）beach? A few plants, such as beach grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won't. Even if（即使）the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no food for plants.

A recent survey shows young Chinese are less good at expressing thoughts and ideas. Half of those who were surveyed said they have poor verbal skills（表达能力）. And 40 percent of those surveyed said they had trouble expressing themselves well in writing.

Poor education could be a cause of poor communication skills, but that may not explain everything. Of the 1, 333 young people who were surveyed, most were well-educated. The problem more likely resulted from the rise of digital（数字的） communication, with texting instead of talking, and short messages instead of long, complete sentences.

Today, having trouble expressing thoughts and ideas is a worldwide problem. In America, some people try to solve the problem by returning to so-called "Classical Education". This form of education dates back to 500 years ago in Europe. They learn grammar, rhetoric and logic. Grammar meant learning how to write a complete and correct sentence. Rhetoric was the use of grammatical devices to make one's writing more convincing（有说服力的）. And logic was the use of reason to discover what is true or not true.

If you want to improve your communication skills, you might begin by joining or starting a discussion group where you can talk with others about books, latest events or even hobbies. You can also get a beautiful diary and write down your thoughts in it every day. This will enable you to have a clearer mind so that you can get your ideas and feelings across more effectively.
