Reading. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. The Importance of Plants Man has always depended on plants for food and many other useful products. For this reason, farming is one of the world’s most important industries. At first, early man did not know how to plant seeds and raise crops. He gathered wild fruits and vegetables where he found them. Then man discovered how to grow his own food. He planted seeds and waited for the crop to grow. For the first time, he could be reasonably sure of his food supply. He could settle down and build shelters in the places where he grew food. 3 As populations began to increase, the demand for food became greater. Old fashioned tools and farming methods were inefficient in meeting the demand, so man cultivated more and more land and invented complicated machines to make his work easier. Tractors replaced horses and other farm animals. Scientists studied and experimented with plants, they told farmers how to control plant diseases, and how top grow bigger and better crops. Now one man, with a knowledge of plants and the help of machines, can cultivate hundreds of acres. He can raise plants which did not originally grow in the soil or climate of his community. 1.
