It comes in many 57 (way). We smell it, drink it and even hear it. The 58 (many) people, the more pollution. Many years ago, there were not many people, so the pollution was not very serious.

We use plants for food, clothes and even the air we breathe. 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. Most of the water that a plant takes in goes back into the air. Plants give us a lot of food on the Earth. Fruits, vegetables and grains 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!Plants are quite important to humans and the Earth. Without plants, the Earth would be a very different place.66．What do we use plants for according to Paragraph 1? 67．Where does most of the water that a plant takes in go? 68．Why does growing your own fruits and vegetables help reduce the amount of rubbish? 69．In your opinion, what else can plants do for human beings?
