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. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. So animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering (不开花的) plants.
Flowering plants can make seeds (种子). Fruits protect the seeds. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. 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 (孢子). Spores are very, very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float (飘) in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores fall on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.

A well－known poem by Tang dynasty poet Du Mu tells of a sad scene in early April: “Rains fall heavily as Qingming comes, and passersby with lowered spirits go.”
This scene takes place on Tomb Sweeping Day, also known as Qingming Festival. Tomb Sweeping Day is a traditional Chinese festival. It began in the Zhou dynasty, over 2,500 years ago.
Chinese people celebrate it to remember and honor their ancestors(祖先). This year, it falls on April 5. Tomb Sweeping Day became a public holiday in the Chinese mainland in 2008. People have one day off for that day.
On this day, families bring flowers, food and wine to the grave sites(墓地) of their ancestors. They place cakes, fruits in front of the graves and some may burn joss paper, as money for the dead. After that, they sweep the tombs and cherish(怀念) the memories of their dead family members.
Tomb Sweeping Day gives us a chance to show respect to our ancestors and family members who have passed away and show that we miss them. This tradition shows that family values are an important part of Chinese culture.
Tomb Sweeping Day is also the beginning of the time for gardening and outdoor activities in China. Families often get together for outings or to fly kites at this time.

Do you want to be successful in everything you do? If so, then ? Here is an example.
There was a farmer who grew corn all his life. Each year he took his corn(玉米) to the market. Then each time his corn was chosen as the and won the first prize.
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something surprising about how he grew it. The farmer his seed corn to his neighbors.
“How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbors?”the reporter asked. “You know they are taking part in the with you each year.”
“Why, sir,” said the farmer, “didn’t you know? The picks up pollen(花粉) from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbors grow bad corn, cross-polination(异花传粉)will affect(影响) the quality of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must my neighbors to grow good corn.”
The farmer knows much about the connection of life. His corn cannot improve if his neighbor’s corn doesn’t improve.
As a great man says, “We make a living by what we ; we make a life by what we give.”We can’t live without food, clothes, and many other things. Howerer, a meaningful life is not decided by how much we can get, by how much we can give others. Giving, instead of taking, makes us from other animals. So those who choose to live well must help others to live well, and those who choose to be happy must help others to find in their life.
