Some plants can produce bad smell to protect themselves. Also some plants have thorns(刺) as roses. The leaves of some plants can change colour. Some plants can eat insects!

Lots of animals try to eat plants. But some plants have their ways of fighting back. For example, thistles(奶蓟草), roses, and many other plants are covered with sharp thorns.When a big animal tries to bite them, it hurts!

It can be quite cold in late winter―too cold for most flowers to grow. But some plants can make their own heat

Take a skunk cabbage(臭菘).That's the name of a plant that blooms(开花)earlier than most other North American flowers. As the flower bud grows, it sometimes makes enough heat to melt(融化)its way through snow and even ice!

The heat also helps the flower give off a smell like meat which has gone bad. And this attracts many insects that have come out early. The flies go inside the flower for food. Ha-ha, it's a trick! There's no food. But while a fly is in there, it gets covered with pollen(花粉).Then it may spread this pollen to the next skunk cabbage. Fooled you twice, little fly!

When an antelope(羚羊)or another large animal eats the leaves of an African acacia(金合欢)tree, the tree may call out a warning.

How? It may talk with gas! First the tree sends some chemicals into its leaves to make them taste bad. But it also may send a special gas out through its leaves. As the gas drifts to other acacia trees, it "tells" those trees, "Look out, hungry animals are coming !" Then the other trees start sending the chemicals into their leaves. Soon, the antelope finds the first tree's leaves too terrible to eat. And when it moves to the next tree, and the next, and the next, it finds that their leaves taste too bad. The antelope may have to walk more than 50 yards away to find a tree it can eat!

Could the students from less developed areas in central and western China get the same educational chances as those in big cities in the east? Could the children in poor rural (农村) areas develop as well as those in rich cities? Maybe the answers were “No” in the past. But now, China is trying to change the situation.

In order to help rural students grow taller and stronger, China’s Nutrition (营养) Improvement Program started in 2011. According to the program, a lot more money was spent improving students’ meals. More than 36 million students from 134,000 primary and junior high schools in poor rural areas have benefited from the program. They are provided with healthy food like eggs and milk from Monday to Friday at school. And the result of a survey shows that the students in those areas are much taller and stronger than before.

It is true that there were differences between less developed areas and developed areas in education before. Recently, The Guideline for Popularizing High School Education (2017-2020) has come out. According to the guideline, above 90% students from all over the country will go to high schools by 2020. What’s more, the schools in central and western areas will get more support to improve their education.

Students from rural and poor areas also get more chances to receive higher education. A special college program makes it possible for more students from those areas to go to key (重点的) colleges and universities. The number will be increased by 10% in 2017.

With the guideline and the programs, we can expect a fairer and more balanced (均衡的) education in the future.
