24、 industry on Bolivias. Of all the mining products, tin is the most important, which makes up three-fourths of all Bolivias exports.

29、al very difficult conditions. This means that the plant has changed something in its “body” or “habits” to make it easier to survive in difficult conditions. There are several conditions they have had to adapted to. First, the soil of the forest floor is shallow. Also, the soil of the rainforest is
30、not very rich, or easy to grow in. Next is the problem of very heavy rain which continues over a large part of the year. Finally, many plants of the rainforest are food for animals that live there.The biggest problem that rainforest plants have to adapt to is the lack of sunlight in the rainforests
31、lower levels. Plants have adapted to this problem - 7 -in several ways. Many plants have very large leaves. The large leaf is helpful because it has a bigger surface area. The bigger surface area a leaf has, the more sunlight it can absorb. The canopy trees（篷状树木） adapt by growing to be 100 feet tall
32、 so that their leaves can grab all available sunlight. Other plants called lianas (藤本植物) have adapted by rooting themselves in the soil of the forest floor and growing up the trees until they reach the canopy layer. Still other plants, such as epiphytes, have adapted by growing directly on the trees
33、 trunks and branches in the canopy and understory layers of the rainforest.An adaptation to the large amounts of rainfall that many rainforest plants have is called “drip tips”. Their leaves are tapered(逐渐变细) to a sharp point at the end. This allows water to run off the leaf quickly. There are many
34、other adaptations that rainforest plants have made to their environment. These will be discussed in detail, as we investigate the plants of the rainforest!33.

36、of their adaptations have been investigated in detail.D. Different kinds of plants have different ways to absorb sunlight. 35. What would be the best title of the passage?A. Why Do Plants Change Themselves?B. How Do Plants Adapt to the Rainforests?C. What Kind of Plants Is the Most Adaptable?D. What
