四、立德树人·培养探索自然精神 阅读理解
Long ago, when a magic person first planted a tree in the garden, it was full of energy and kept moving. The tree was pulled out（被拔出） and planted upside down（颠倒） to make sure it stayed in one place. What's the tree? It's the baobab tree, also called the monkey bread tree, the bottle tree or others.
The baobab tree is a strange-looking tree that grows in Africa and Australia. Just like its name "the bottle tree", it looks like a large bottle. Some grow as tall as a 16-floor building. During the dry season, these trees are standing there without leaves, and look like trunks（树干） sticking up in the air. But when the rainy season comes, leaves appear and then flowers come out. Later, the flowers can turn into fruit.
The baobab is called "the tree of life", because it can live for more than 1,000 years. In the dry land, the baobab can absorb and hold
1,000 gallons of water. Thirsty people can drink the water stored in the tree. The fruit, baobab fruit, is good to eat. Baobab leaves are a kind of medicine（药）. People can use the bark（树皮） to make paper or cloth. When a baobab gets old, its trunk becomes hollow. An old tree can hold many people. The local people often build their houses inside these trunks.
It is such a useful tree that some people can hardly live without it.
