15、in animals and plants develop, characteristics that help them deal with their environments better than others of their kind. This natural biological process is called adaptation. Among the superior characteristics developed through adaptation are those that may help in getting food or shelter, in pr
16、oviding protection, and in producing and protecting the young. That results in the gradual development of more and more organisms (small living things) that are better fitted to their environments.Each living thing is adapted to its way of life in a general way, but each is adapted especially to its
17、 own distinct class (kind). A plant, for example, depends upon its roots to fix itself firmly and to absorb water and inorganic chemicals. It depends upon its green leaves for using the suns energy to make food from inorganic chemicals. These are general adaptations, common to most plants. In additi
18、on, there are special adaptations that only certain kinds of plants have.Many animals have adaptations that help them escape from their enemies. Some insects are hidden by their body color or shape, and many look like a leaf or a little branch. The coats of deer are colored to mix with the surroundi
19、ngs. Many animals have the ability to remain completely still when an enemy is near.Organisms have a great variety of ways of adapting. They may adapt in their structure, function and genetics; in their development and production of the young; and in other respects. An organism may create its own en
20、vironment, as do warm-blooded mammals, which have the ability to adjust body heat exactly to maintain their ideal temperature despite changing weather. Usually adaptations are an advantage, but sometimes an organism is so well adapted to a particular environment that, if conditions change, it finds
21、it difficult or impossible to readapt to the new conditions.56. Some plants and animals develop superior characteristics so that they may_. A. help others of their kind get food, shelter and other things neededB. survive even in extremely severe conditionsC. become better adapted to the environments

27、ugtaking and other dangerous behavior is expected to rise.Experts said mental disease could be caused by many factors, such as the inability to handle interpersonal relations well, unstable emotions and pressure from the overload of study. A number of experts have also said the onechild policy is an
28、other reason leading to poor mental health in the young.Children were said to be too “spoiled” and “selfish” in onechild families. Schools in many cities were reported rolling out measures to help students maintain their mental wellbeing, Yin Jingmiao, a teacher of the Beijing No.105 Middle School,
29、told China Daily that the school invites psychologists to provide counseling to students three times a month. “Students can be arranged to have 40minute counseling sessions,” Yin said.

36、 them feel like any other kid. There are many wrong ideas about autism. The kids I work with can think and feel. They need help only in certain areas.Of course, each kid is special.

43、her had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.“Look down, Elsa,” father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crossing of twisting, turning streets leading to the square. “See, my
44、dear,” father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you cant get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at s
45、chool. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.When I turned to father for help, he would not interfere. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.At school the next day, I secretly poured my lunch
46、eon soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly.
