三、阅读理解。

A

Yellow, orange, red and green-tree leaves make autumn a colourful time! Who paints all these colours? It is the leaves themselves. Inside a leaf, there are millions of little colour “bags”. They are green, yellow and orange. The green ones are called chlorophyll (叶绿素). The yellow ones are called xanthophyll (叶黄素). The orange ones are carotene (胡萝卜素).

In the summer, the green chlorophyll is very, very busy. It makes food for the tree. It catches sunlight to change water and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) into sugar. This sugar is the food for the tree. It is so busy that it covers up all of the other colours in the leaf.

When the weather grows colder in autumn, there is less light and water for trees. The trees will have a rest and get ready for winter. They've made enough food in summer! The leaves no

四、任务型阅读。

Some people believe that some star signs get along better with each other than other star signs. Read this article and find out who is the perfect friend for you.

Perhaps we should first start with signs that are incompatible (彼此不相容的). Aries and Leo are not a good mix. Both of them are leaders. Aries is energetic and is not compatible with Leo because Leo is strong and confident. Also, Pisces and Taurus are not a good pair. Taurus is practical and will not be patient enough to wait for Pisces to stop daydreaming.

Perhaps the best choice of friend for Taurus is Capricorn. Taurus can be stubborn and Capricorn is patient and would be prepared to wait for Taurus to change his or her mind. Aries

初三英语 match. Leo would be well matched with Libra. Leo likes to give gifts and Libra likes beautiful things.

The perfect pair are Libra and Scorpio. Libra does not like to argue and loves peace. Libra will never ask Scorpio about his or her secrets. In addition (除此之外), Libra will be quite happy to watch Scorpio doing energetic things. Sagittarius and Gemini are also a perfect match. Sagittarius loves to travel and Gemini loves to discover new things. Sagittarius has a good sense of humour and will enjoy listening to Gemini.

Capricorn and Cancer could also be good friends. Cancer is kind and sensitive and gets on well with Capricorn, who is shy?

Virgo and Aquarius are a good match. Sometimes, however, there can be problems in their relation. Aquarius has many friends, and Virgo worries a lot, so meeting a lot of people can be stressful for them.
