   Plants are very important  1    things. Life could not go  2    if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. But animals and man cannot  3    so. Animals get their food by eating plants and  4    animals. Man gets its food by eating plants and animals too.  5    animals and man  6    plants in order to  7    . This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.

   If you look  8    at the plants around you, you will find that there are many types of plants. Some plants are large,  9    others are small.  10    plants are green. There are two sorts(种类)of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering(不开花的)plants.

   Flowering plants have roots(根),stems(茎),leaves, flowers and fruits(果子).  11    all the trees around us are flowering plants. Flowering plants  12    make seeds(种子). The sends  13 by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds  14    .  15    example of a fruit  16    seeds is banana fruit.

   Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores(孢子). Spores are small. Some spores are  17    small and  18    that they can float(漂浮) 19     the air. We may say that spores are quite different from seeds. When these spores  20    on wet and shady(阴凉的)places, they usually grow into plants.

Today there are 6 billion people on the earth. By the year 2050 there may be 12.5 billion. This means we need more food.

One way to produce more food is by growing stronger plants. For thousands of years, farmers have made plants better. Every season, they pick the best plants for the next season. It works very slowly. Since 1983, scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic material (遗传物质). Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified foods (转基因食品), or GM foods.

By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. They make plants which are strong against plant diseases. They can also help in our diseases: a kind of rice is being prepared (准备), for example, which stops people from becoming blind.

Rich countries produce GM food because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food.

GM plants are not natural. No one knows how good or bad they are. Making GM foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050. There are strong feelings against them, because they are unnatural. They may feed people, then hurt them or their children later. But, both rich and poor countries are very interested in their use, and they are not going to go away. In 2050 we may think differently about them.
