This month,we went on a five-day trip to Xishuangbanna,a beautiful place in the south of Yunnan P76.The weather there is hot and wet.There are many kinds of plants and animals.
I want to i77some interesting things we saw to you during our trip.
In the jungle(丛林),we saw a twining(缠绕的)plant.These plants grow when seeds-seeds m78from banyan trees(榕树)are moved by animals or wind to some other trees.These seeds gradually grow,developing their own aerial(空气的)roots.Little by little,they will get themselves around the host tree and f79kill it,just like a snake kills its enemy.
A80thing we learned is that when a tree gets big and strong,some of its aerial roots will grow into the ground and develop into a new tree,just like the way cell division（细胞分裂）works.The w81tree will look like a small forest.I think this is quite a82.
In the forest,you will sometimes find some red leaves among the green leaves.Why is that? One reason is that the sunshine is very strong in Yunnan.The trees n83use all of their leaves in order to do photosynthesis(光合作用)and grow,so the color of some of the leaves c 84
to red.
We really enjoyed our trip to Yunnan.We learned a lot about n85and had a really fun time.I hope we can take more trips like this in the future.

The past month has been a difficult time for people in California.Wildfires spread(蔓延) through much of the state.According to CBS,at least31people have died so far.This makes
them the most deadly wildfires in California.
Wildfires are uncontrolled(不可控制的)fires.They usually happen in areas where few people live.They are most common in wooded areas in the US,Canada and Australia.They are also known as forest fires or grass fires,or as bushfires in Australia.
Lightning strikes and volcanicеruрtіоnѕ(火山爆发)саnсаuѕеwіldfіrеѕ.However,90percent of wildfires are caused by humans,according to the US National Park Service.It is easy to cause wildfires by burning campfires and garbage debris(碎片),cigarette butts(烟头)and acts of arson(纵火).
Dry and hot weather,as well as wind,creates good wildfire conditions.They help wildfires spread quickly and last for weeks.Wildfires can burn at over900c and reach the height of more than50meters.Wildfires can move at speeds of up to23kilometers an hour,burning nearly all the things-trees,brushes,homes,and even people in their path.
The fires are also dangerous to animals.In Australia,koalas can't get enough water from tree leaves.They have to leave their trees and find water somewhere else.
阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的短文，每空一词。

Why is it important to care for animals?The reason is to protect the balance of life on the Earth and to keep the beauty of the animals themselves.
Africa was once filled with lots of wild animals.But that is changing fast.One of these animals, the elephant,once had no natural enemies,but is now endangered-killed for its tusks.
In South America,destruction of the rain forest threatens many animals.Unusual mammals are endangered.Beautiful birds are also becoming extinct(灭绝的).They’re losing their homes in the rainforest.
The giant panda of Asia is the only animal of its kind.Yet there are only about1,000still living in the wild.They lives on bamboo,so when the bamboo forests die,the pandas will die too.
Sea animals are in danger of extinction too.The blue whale is the largest animal in the world. Now dirty water is one of its greatest enemies.
What can you do to help endangered animals?Learn as much as you can about them.The more you know,the more you can help.We can also build more reserves to give these endangered wildlife enough food and cover.
