六、(2024·定兴二中期中)阅读表达
阅读下面短文,简略回答问题。
人与自然——自然生态
Nature is full of surprises. Every day, we can find something amazing around us.
Let's start with the sky. In the morning, the sun rises and makes the sky look so beautiful. It gives light and warmth to the world. Have you ever wondered why the sky is blue during the day? The sunlight has many colours. When it travels through the air, the blue light scatters more than other colours, so the sky looks blue.
Then, look at the plants. Sunflowers are so interesting. They always turn their faces to follow the sun. Do you know why sunflowers follow the sun? It's because they need sunlight to grow well. The sun helps them make food.
Animals in nature are also amazing. Penguins live in very cold places. They have feathers for warmth. How do penguins keep warm in the cold Antarctic? Their feathers act like a warm coat.
The waterfall is another wonder of nature. Water rushes down from high places, making a huge sound. What can you see and hear at a waterfall? You can see water falling fast and hear a huge sound.
Nature is like a big treasure box. I'm sure exploring nature will be the best part of our day.
