4．　　Every living thing needs to reproduce It means creating more members of its group. In order to reproduce, plants have to spread their seeds(种子)to other areas. They have developed all kinds of ways to do it.
　　The simplest way is gravity. Many seeds are inside the fruit. When a piece of fruit gets too heavy, it falls from a tree to the ground. Sometimes animals will pick up the fruit and drop it in another area. That helps move the seed even farther away.
　　Some plants use wind to spread their seeds. Dandelions (蒲公英) are a good example of this. Dandelion seeds are so light that when wind blows, it carries them to new places. Maple (枫树) seeds also use wind. Their seeds are connected with long, thin leaves that look like wings. When the seed falls from the tree, its "wings" help it fly farther from the tree.
　　Other animals help plants spread their seeds. The animals eat the seeds. While the seeds are in the animals' bodies, they stay whole. When they leave the animals, they are in new places.
　　Besides, ants have another way to help spread seeds. Some seeds have a special smell that attracts ants. The ants bring the seeds back to their home, which of course is underground. They only eat part of the seeds and leave the rest of the seeds underground. After that, the seeds can start growing.

7．　　Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because they have to take so many after-school classes. Many of them are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university. Others are practicing sports so that they can compete and win.
　　However, this doesn't only happen in China. The Bairds are a typical American family. Life for Cathy Baird's three children is very busy. "On most days after school," Cathy says, "I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training. Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons.
