Leaves are nature's food factories．Plants take water from the ground through their roots．They take a gas called carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）from the air．Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose．Glucose is a kind of sugar．Plants use glucose as food for energy to grow．The way plants turn water and carbon dioxide into gtue0∞is called photosynthesis（光合作用）．That mean’s “putting together with light”．A chemical called chlorophyll helps make photosynthesis happen．Chlorophyll is green．It gives plants their green color．
As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. This is how the trees “know" to begin getting ready for winter.
During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. The trees will rest, and live on the food they have stored during the summer. They begin to close their food - making factories. The green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. Then, we begin to see yellow and orange colors. A few of these colors stay in the leaves all the time. We just can't see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll.
Red and purple colors we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees, like maples（枫树）glucose is stored in the leaves after photosynthesis stops．Sunlight and cool nights of autumn turn this glucose into red．The brown color of trees like oaks（橡树）is made from wastes left in the leaves．

A．叶绿素 B．氧气 C．胡萝卜素 D．蛋白质
