In total, the plant has need of at least 16 elements, of which the most important are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, calcium, and magnesium.
The plan obtains carbon and hydrogen dioxide from the atmosphere; other nutrients are taken up from the soil. Although the plant contains sodium, iodine, and cobalt, these are apparently not essential. This is also true of silicon and alumunium.
Overall chemical analyses indicate that the total supply of nutrients in soils is usually high in comparison with the requirements of crop plants. Much of this potential supply, however, is bound tightly in forms that are not released to crops fast enough to give satisfactory growth. Because of this, the farmer is interested in measuring the available nutrient supply as contrasted to the total quantities.

Polar bear are adapted to life in the polar region, around the North Pole. Their bodies have special features that work particularly well in the polar seas. For instance, they have sharp and powerful claws for catching their food, which is mainly seals. In their own environment, they are excellent hunter; but if they had to live on the birds and squirrels in other places, they would die.
The science that studies the way that different forms of life are adapted to their particular
environment is called ecology.
 The first lesson of ecology is that all life in an environment depends on other forms of life. Polar bears depend on seals, which can live only where they
do because they depend on particular kinds of fish which are found in the Arctic seas.
There are certain important cycles in nature that show plants and animals depend on each other: for example, the nitrogen cycles. Plants take nitrogen compounds from the soil and turn them into protein. Animals eat these proteins and return some of them to the soil as waste products and the rest when they die. Another cycle is the oxygen cycle. When we breathe, we take in oxygen, and give out carbon dioxide. Plants absorb it to make sugar compounds, and in the process oxygen is produced and released to the atmosphere.
An ideal ecological system, living things exist in balance. However, particularly where man interferes, a species may become too successful and abundant, and the balance is destroyed. For instance, the use of pesticides to kill a particular plan pest may also kill predatory insects and even birds, and thus other pests are allowed to increase. Therefore, great care is needed in the use of pesticides.
Through ecology we try to restore the balance in the ecological system, and thus save the world from devastation.

A. the tropical countries

A. seals eat a lot of fish
B. the farmers use pesticides
C. polar bears don't eat seals anymore
D. D, man interferes his environment too much
E. plants take nitrogen compound from the soil

13.  The main idea of paragraph 3 is that ...
A. Polar bears depend on seals
B. Ecological system needs well treatment
C. Plants and animals depend one each other
D. Plants produce and release oxygen to the atmosphere
E. There's an interdependence of living things in a particular area.

During the nineteenth century, women in the United States organized and participated in a large number of reform movement, including movements to reorganize the prison system, improve education, ban the sale of alcohol, and most, importantly, to free the
