Plants in Desert
Only special plants can survive the terrible climate of a desert, for these are regions when the annual range of the soil temperature can be over 75℃. Furthermore, during the summer there are few clouds in the sky to protect plans from the sun' s ray. Another problem is the fact that there are frequently strong winds that drive small, sharp particles of sand into the plants,earing and damaging them. The most difficult probiem for all forms of plant life, however, is the fact that the entire annual rainfall occurs during a few days or weeks in spring.
Grasses and flowers in desert survive from one year to the next by existing through the long, hot, dry season in the form. of seeds. These seeds remain inactive unless the fight amount of'rain falls. If no rain falls, or if insufficient rain falls, they wait until the next year, or even still the next. Another factor that helps these plants to survive is the fact that their life cycles are short. By the time the water from the spring rains disappears — just a few weeks after it falls — such plants no longer need any.
The perennials (多年生植物) have special features that enable them to survive as plants for several years. Thus, nearly all desert perennials have extensive root systems below ground and a small shoot system above ground. The large root network enables the plant to absorb as much water as possible in short time. The small shoot system, on the other hand, considerably limits water loss by evaporation.
Another feature of many perennials is that after the rainy season they 10se their leaves in preparation for the long, dry season, just as trees in wetter climates lose theirs in preparation for the winter. This reduces their water loss by evaporation (蒸发) duing the dry season. Then, in next rainy season, they come fully alive once more, and grow new branches, leaves and flowers, just as the grasses and flowers in desert do.
Ordinary plants are unable to survive in the desert mainly because of the changeable weather.
A．Right
B．Wrong
C．Not mentioned

I know you have a lot on your mind with finals coming up, but there are a few things you need to be aware of as you prepare to leave for vacation. This dormitory will be closed during the summer months and will reopen on September 1st. You must vacate your room by June 3rd. Even if you are registered for classes during the summer, you must leave this dorm by June 3rd. If this poses a problem for you, you should contact my office as soon as possible. You should remember Io turn in your room key before you leave. Failure to return your key can result in a dollar fine. You must also make sure that all of your personal property has been cleared out of your room. I will be passing out a form. for you to fill out concerning the condition of your room. You should report on the form. of any damage to your room which has occurred over the last year, such as holes in the room's walls, doors or windows. That way our summer maintenance crew will know where to make re pairs before the next school year starts. If you have any questions during the next few days, please ask your resident advisers or call my office. Now, please take one of the forms as they are passed around.

From: Jeff Pages
Subject: Bare feet in the rain
Date: 29 Jan 02 17:38:02 EST
It has been raining constantly in Sydney for the last two days, after what has so far been a very dry summer. My walk from the railway station to work takes in about 2km of forest trail, with a varying surface of gravel, sand, clay and sandstone outcrops. In the dry it is a pleasant barefoot walk but in the wet it becomes a magical experience, particularly at this time of the year with the temperature around 24 ℃ (75 F).
On the steeper sections of the trail there is water cascading down the rocks and it feels great clambering up with the water splashing over my feet.
The forecast is for the rain to continue till at least the middle of next week so I should have nice muddy wet feet for a few more days yet.
Happy barefootin',
Jeff

First of all, I'd like to say that this afternoon's computer session has proved to be much more popular than we anticipated, so we're moving this session to Room 110. That's on the first floor. This means that the Marketing Seminar will be moved to Room 201. Room 201 is on the second floor. The times for all sessions are unchanged. I hope that's clear to everyone. Yes？
Next, a notice for Team Leaders. will you please hand in your keys and your completed attendance lists to reception Point B, where I will collect them. Could you do this at the latest by 15.00. By 3 o'clock, please. There is no paperwork for team leaders to do this afternoon, you'll be pleased to know.
Now, I have to inform. you of a last minute change for those flying home. No. Don't worry. Nothing major. You'll still be able to enjoy the party this evening. It's just that the coaches to the airport will now leave tomorrow morning a little later, at 9am sharp, instead of 8.30. And please be at the collection point - that's outside - at least 10 minutes before, so I can check your names. The collection point is marked "Airport". Thank you. The other buses - that's the six coaches for local travel - will leave as arranged ... look at your Fact Sheets... same times ... same place ... for local destinations, go to the West Gate.
Now, to the future. I have a note from Personnel that the venue for next year is already fixed. It will be in Birmingham, and is most likely to be at the Central Business School. Of course you'll get details of things like the timetable nearer the time. One of the guest speakers will be Dr Lewis Worth. Yes, the famous author from the Los Angeles Institute of Business will be talking about Creative Management: I'm sure we'll all be looking forward to that. Again - details will come to you nearer the time.
Oh, talking of speakers, that reminds me, this afternoon there will be a change of speaker. Alan Smith will substitute for Sue Kennedy, who unfortunately is unwell. Same times, but the room will also change, from 600 to 610.
Well, I'd just like to say... Oh yes ... one more thing. Don't forget to collect your complimentary video from the conference office. You can drop in there any time throughout the afternoon. It's a preview of our new advertisements. I would draw your attention especially to Film 3. Quite a few surprises. Should be good.
So that's it, I think. It's been a highly successful conference this year - as always. So with my thanks to all concerned for the arrangements and my thanks to you all for contributing, I look forward to meeting you individually tonight at the party.., which starts at 8pm in the Garden Room. And I hope to see you all in Birmingham next year!
