But why do they grow so tall? 29.Because they are competing (竞争). They are fighting with each other to get 30.the most sunlight. This way, they can grow 31.faster ( fast ) than others. So redwoods use all 32.their (they) energy to compete to grow tall.
However, when they grow tall, sometimes lots of trouble 33.appears ( appear ). Their lives might be safer and easier if they didn’t have to grow so tall. But there is no way for them to stop 34.growing ( grow ). So they have to compete their whole lives.

答案： 26.tallest 27.as 28.men 29.Because 30.the 31.faster 32.their 33.appears 34.growing 35.Actually
