[2025 重庆梁平区期末·改编]①The
fastest growing plant in the world is bamboo. Some bamboo grows so quickly that people say they can watch it grow. The speed of growth depends on the type of bamboo, the soil and the season. Normal bamboo grows about 30 cm a day. It usually grows in tropical areas. It can also be found in other parts of the world. Bamboo plants are found in Asia, parts of Africa and South America.
② Bamboo is a wonderful plant for many people around the world. There are over 1,000 uses for it. People make tables, clothes, and it is also edible (可食用的).
③ ▲ People use it because it's very strong. They use it to build houses, boats and bridges. The Chinese made a bamboo bridge over the Min River in Sichuan, China almost 1,000 years ago. Bamboo is used to build houses especially in China and the Philippines.
④ Bamboo is the earliest material used to make the light bulb. The great scientist Thomas Edison did not invent the light bulb, but he made it perfect. He wanted the material inside to burn for a long period of time. He tried over 1,000 different types of materials. None worked very well. One day, he tried to use a special piece of bamboo and the light bulb lit up for over a thousand hours. This invention helped other scientists to make the modern light bulb we use today.
