Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight.
Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. They get their food by eating plants and other animals. If you look carefully at plants around you, you will find there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
Flowering plants can make seeds(种子). The seeds are guarded by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores(胚芽). Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float(漂浮) in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and sandy places, they usually grow into plants.

| A．plants are important for life |

Going to a friend’s house is very exciting. You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives. So remember to be polite.
★When to arrive
The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you to his/her house, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come “around 3:00”, that means you can arrive a few minutes after 3:00, but it is also a good idea to arrive at the right time.
★What to bring
Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend’s house. This could be a box of chocolates for you two to share(分享), or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.
★How to greet (问候)
When you visit your friend’s house, you may also meet his parents. You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I called his parents by their first names John and Mary. But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr or Mrs Smith. This will show them more respect(尊重).
It is a cool thing to visit a friend’s house. Be polite to your friend’s parents, and you will be invited again! If your friend asks you to get to your friend’s house around 5:00 p.m, it is polite to arrive at ________ p.m.
