Text 1 (1 to 4)
Many years ago, there lived a hermit in a
forest in Sumatera. He did not grow foods but
depended on the jungle to survive. Soon, there was
a drought, all the plants and fruit trees in the jungle
died.
The old man had nothing to eat now, so he
turned to begging. He went to nearby village trying
to get some food. At first, the villagers were very
happy to help him. However, when he came
continually, they refused to give him any more
food. They told him to grow his own food.
One day, while the hermit was sitting in his
hut, sad and hungry, he began to think about
growing his own food. Just then a boatman stopped
by and taking on the hermit, gave him some rice
seeds.
Before the boatman went away, he said,
These seeds will grow and give you everlasting
harvest if you work very hard. If you are tired of the
work, the rice plants will turn into weeds.
The old hermit worked hard to clear the land
and sowed the seeds before the rains came.
Strangely, after a short period of time, the rice was
ready for harvesting. The old man got a lot of rice
from the harvest. After each harvest, the plants grew
back again right away.
When the villagers heard about the hermit and
his wonderful rice, they flocked to his rice-field and
took home as much rice as they could.
One day, the hermit became so tired of
harvesting the rice that she shouted. Oh, stop
growing, you wretched thing! As soon as he had
said this, the rice plants turned into weeds.

In autumn, the color of the leaves changes into
beautiful yellow, red, and brown. Do you know how
this happens? To answer the questions, first we
have to understand about leaves.
Leaves are the food factories of plants. Plants
take water from the ground through their roots and
they take carbon dioxide from the air. Plants need
glucose for energy and for their growth.
The plants use sunlight to turn water and
carbon dioxide into glucose. The process is called
photosynthesis and substances process. The trees
will rest, and use the food that they have stored
during summer. The trees begin to close their food
factories. The green chlorophyll substance
disappears from the leaves. As the leaves begin to
lose their green color, they change into beautiful
yellow and orange.
In some trees, like maple tree, glucose is
trapped in the leaves after the photosynthesis
process stops. Sunlight and cool rights turn the
green color of the leaves into red. Oak leaves
become brown because of wastes that are left in the
leaves. This combination of red and brown makes
the trees look very beautiful in autumn.

 d. Because the sunlight and cool nights turn the
color of leaves in maple tree
e. Because the leaves color of trees change into
beautiful combination of colors.
