When we talk of plants, most of us will think of things that grow from the ground and have green leaves.1. Some of these belong to a special class of plants called fungi ( 真 菌 ).
2. They usually grow in wet places where they can get food and water easily. Because fungi do not have green leaves to make their own food. 3. However, fungi must take their food from animals, other plants or waste matter. Some fungi live on dead or rotting（腐烂的）wood, while others grow on living trees or in dirt.
Mushrooms（蘑菇）are the best-known fungi.4.For example, cauliflower（菜花） mushrooms are found in forests from July to October.They can grow to be as heavy as fifty pounds! They grow at the foot of trees. Squirrel’s（松鼠）bread is another kind of wild mushroom.
5.These fungi look like small golden cakes, grow on short and fat trees. Squirrels can easily eat them or carry them off to their hole to eat later.
The mushrooms found in food stores are carefully grown by people who know they are safe to eat. People are warned never to touch or taste wild mushrooms because some of them are deadly. Even less dangerous ones can still make a person very sick.
A.Its appearance and use can explain its name.

C.But there are plants that do not look or act like other plants.
D.Green plants use their leaves to make their own food.

Making a good job choice is almost as good as choosing a good life. So, choosing a job is one of the most important decisions to make in life.
For my job, there are three important things that I will consider:
The first one － that I must work in an area I like － is most important to me. Someone once said if you find a job that you enjoy, then you won't have to work another day. I would like to work in an area where I can be more creative. I would like to be the most valuable member there. All this is possible only if like what I do.
The second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some new and hard problems. I would like to stay in the same area for a long time. In order for this to happen, the work must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference and trying my best for the whole progress. I would also like to be wellremuneratedfor my hard work, so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money. Then I can provide the best for my family.
The third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management. In such areas, I can help to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best. It would be a most satisfying job to help young people to become the best that they can be. When I become old, I would like to look back with a great sense of satisfaction that thousands of people have become better persons through my work.
I accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly. He should decide what he wants to be in the long run. Then, he should decide how he works towards it. He should study the proper courses, read the books and speak to knowledgeable persons in that field before making a job choice. A good choice will most probably lead to a better life.
