BPlants mostly grow in pleasant places with a lot of sunshine, but some plants can also be found in areas that do not seem good for them. All that most plants need to grow is air, sunlight and water. Humans need plants, without them, nobody would be able to live. Plants provide fuel(燃料), food, clothing, paper, house and medicine.FuelThe oldest form of fuel is wood, which can be burned to create heat for warmth and cooking. As time goes by, green plants that lived a very long time ago have formed coal（煤）, oil and gas, which humans use for heating and cooking.Food The main food plants are grains, including wheat, corn, rice and so on. For centuries, people have been using spices（香料）from plants in their food. Even drinks come from plants, such as coffee., tea and cocoa. Nature makes many other kinds of drinks naturally, such as fruit juices and milk.Paper Papyrus（纸莎草），a grass-like plant, was used more than 4,000 years ago by Egyptians to make paper. It was from this plant that paper got its name. The Chinese , around 100 AD, invented a particular way of producing paper that is still in use today.Houses In many parts of the world, wood is used to create houses.

His shirt was really a fashionable color.”But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs.and in languages.Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860.Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past.
