Bolivia has a population of three and a half million. About one tenth of the total population are white; one-fourth are mixed Indians and white; and more than half are full-blooded Indians. The government and the industries are under the control of the white people.
The Indians today live in much the same way as their ancestors. Most of them are farmers. Many work in the mines, for mining is the most important industry on Bolivia’s. Of all the mining products, tin is the most important, which makes up three-fourths of all Bolivia’s exports. The eastern slopes of the Andes, since there are very few roads there, are fertile but not highly developed. The two primary means of transportation are river boats and porters. East of the hill region is the great plains where tropical plants are grown. A serious problem for Bolivia is the transport of food from the warm regions, where it is grown, to the mountainous regions, where most of the people live.
Bolivia gained its independence from Spain about a hundred years ago. It has been
slow in developing, but its rich resources promise a better future in it.
29. The majority of the Bolivian population are __________.

Plants that live in the rainforest have adapted in amazing ways to several very difficult conditions. This means that the plant has changed something in its “body” or “habits” to make it easier to survive in difficult conditions. There are several conditions they have had to adapted to. First, the soil of the forest floor is shallow. Also, the soil of the rainforest is not very rich, or easy to grow in. Next is the problem of very heavy rain which continues over a large part of the year. Finally, many plants of the rainforest are food for animals that live there.
The biggest problem that rainforest plants have to adapt to is the lack of sunlight in the rainforest’s lower levels. Plants have adapted to this problem in several ways. Many plants have very large leaves. The large leaf is helpful because it has a bigger surface area. The bigger surface area a leaf has, the more sunlight it can absorb. The canopy trees（篷状树木） adapt by growing to be 100 feet tall so that their leaves can grab all available sunlight. Other plants called lianas (藤本植物) have adapted by rooting themselves in the soil of the forest floor and growing
up the trees until they reach the canopy layer. Still other plants, such as epiphytes, have adapted by growing directly on the trees’ trunks and branches in the canopy and understory layers of the rainforest.
An adaptation to the large amounts of rainfall that many rainforest plants have is called “drip tips”. Their leaves are tapered(逐渐变细) to a sharp point at the end. This allows water to run off the leaf quickly. There are many other adaptations that rainforest plants have made to their environment. These will be discussed in detail, as we investigate the plants of the rainforest!
33. Which of the following is a difficulty that the rainforest plants have to face?
A. Changes in their “body” or “habits”.
B. Epiphytes that grow on trees’ trunks.
C. Soil that is not very deep.
D. The worsening of the natural environment.
34. What can be inferred about rainforest plants?
A. They have to face dan gers not only from animals but also from each other.
B. Too little sunlight and too much water are the biggest problems they face.
C. All of their adaptations have been investigated in detail.
D. Different kinds of plants have different ways to absorb sunlight.
35. What would be the best title of the passage?
A. Why Do Plants Change Themselves?
B. How Do Plants Adapt to the Rainforests?
C. What Kind of Plants Is the Most Adaptable?
D. What Is the Best Place for Plants to Live in?
