Have you ever thought about how many different things you like？ You may like pets， parties，presents，foods， and even superheroes! Our world is full of so many things to like!
Do you ever wonder （琢磨） why you like certain animals or why you like to do certain things？ You may not think about it often， but you may learn something about yourself if you think twice．
For example， why do you like to play with cats more than dogs？ Why do you like going to parties and playing games？ Why do you like some sweets but not others？
Our personality helps form what we like and dislike． Sometimes the things we like just come naturally to us． For example， who's your favourite superhero？ You probably like that character （人物） for reasons that are all your own． You may not have even thought about why you like that superhero…you just do．
As you learn more and do more，you may find out that there are more and more things you like．That's a good thing!
Do your friends like the same things that you do？ Maybe you and your friends like different things． But it's OK． What you like is part of what makes you you!

People depend on plants． We use plants for food， cloth， shelter （住处）， and even the air we breathe （呼吸）．
Plants keep our air and water clean． Green plants give us oxygen （氧气）． Oxygen is part of the air we breathe．
Plants are also part of the water cycle （水循环）． Most of the water that a plant takes in goes back into the air．
Plants give us a lot of the food on the earth． Fruits， vegetables， and grains （谷物）come from plants． Without plants， we would not have bread， rice， carrots， apples， oranges，or bananas! Many people are growing plants to eat in their own gardens at home． Having your own garden helps the earth as well．
When you grow your own fruits and vegetables， you help cut down on pollution because big trucks don't need to take your food to shops． You also help reduce the amount of rubbish because you don't need to use bags for packing your food． You can just pick it out of the ground or off a plant and put it into a basket!
Trees are an important plant resource （资源）． Trees provide wood to build homes and furniture． Trees are used to make lots of things around your home and at your school． And trees provide fruits that are good for you． Without trees， the earth would be a very different place．
