• 27．There was nothing for Mary to do in the house，so every day she walked in the gardens.She did this before breakfast，and the fresh air made her hungry.She was so hungry that she even ate the porridge and enjoyed it.
     After breakfast，Mary walked in the gardens and on the moor.She spent most the her time outdoors and began to feel healthier and happier than she had felt for a very long time.
     One day，she walked around the wall without a door.Suddenly，she heard a bird singing.She looked up，and the robin was sitting on a branch that hung over the wall.She was pleased to see the bird and talked to it.

     The next morning，when Martha brought her breakfast，she asked， "Martha，why isn't there a door in the wall of one of the gardens？"
     "No one is allowed in there，" Martha answered. "Even Mr.Craven never goes in there."
     "But why not？What's wrong with the place？"

• 28．When you watch TV programmes about wild animals，it is surprising to see how an antelope（羚羊）can run away from a strong lion.In the wild，everyone has its own way to protect itself.Even plants have their own ways to fight off enemies.
     Over millions of years，plants have developed their own defense system（防衛(wèi)系統(tǒng)）.Chemicals are often used by plants to survive.By making their leaves，flowers，roots and fruits poisonous（有毒） to enemies，plants can fight back.
     One such plant is the Golden Wattle tree.The British scientist David Cameron has found when an animal eats the tree's leaves，the amount（量） of poison increases in the other leaves."It's like the injured leaves telephoning the others to fight together against the enemy，" he said.
     The tree also sends defense messages to neighbouring plants by giving out a special smell.Golden Wattle tees in the nearby 45 metres will get the message and produce more poison within 10 minutes.Now，if an enemy eats too many of the trees' leaves，he will die.
     Every kind of plant is good at producing a special set of chemicals.Herbivores（食草動物） ，like rabbits，can safely eat the leaves of one tree，but they may be poisoned by its neighbor.
     In this way，plants have not only developed their own defense system，but also shared it with others.This makes it impossible for a single animal to destroy even a small area of forests.

  .
