21、We all know that plants are delicious food for insects(昆虫). But some plants are able to develop ways to protect themselves from insects.

Some plants have physical features(特点) that stop insects from landing on them. For example, the passion plant’s(龙珠果的) leaves have little spiky(有尖刺的) hairs all over them. They are like spikes, pushing out of that plant. There are so many that no room is left for the insects to land on. So the insects can’t eat them. The little hairs serve as a physical feature that helps protect the passion plant from insects.

Other plants protect themselves using chemical things, like the potato plant. The potato plant is able to give out a chemical all over its leaves. The insect swallows this chemical as it eats the leaves. This chemical discourages the insect from wanting to eat more of the plant. How? Well, this chemical makes the insect feel full, like it’s already had enough. The insect no longer feels hungry so it stops eating the plant. So, by giving out this chemical, the potato plant protects itself from insects.

25、根据首字母提示补全短文。

When someone asks you to do something you do not want to, what should you do? It’s a good idea to say “no” at this time. It’s better to spend more time on some useful a【1】.

However, you may worry others will think you are i【2】or unkind. What should you do? Here are some tips that may help you.

It is OK to make up white lies(谎言). That doesn’t mean you are dishonest. I【3】, it may make both you and the other person pleased and comfortable.

When invited to an activity that you do not want to t【4】 part in, you can say, “No, but thanks for the invitation. That’s very kind of you.” In this way you can not only refuse politely b【5】 also make the person who invited you feel comfortable.

When you don’t want to lie(说谎), just tell the t【6】. You may say like this, “I want to s【7】 more time on myself, so I’ve decided to say ‘no’ to these activities.” In this way, people will see that you respect(尊重) y【8】, and as a result they’ll also pay you more respect.

My last suggestion is to just do it. You may feel uncomfortable at f【9】, but this is not the reason for saying “no”. Never make anything more complicated(复杂的) than it is.

Feel proud of yourself for being strong e【10】 to say “no”.
