Part 5
Reading comprehension
The basic morphology of plants reflects their
evolutionary history as terrestrial organisms. The algal
ancestors of plants were bathed in a solution of water and
minerals, including bicarbonate, the source of carbon dioxide
for photosynthesis in aquatic habitats. In contrast, the
resources a terrestrial plant needs are divided between the soil
and air, and the plant must inhabit these two very different
environments at the same time. Soil provides water and
minerals, but air is the main source of carbon dioxide, and light
does not penetrate far into the soil. The evolutionary solution to
this separation of resources was differentiation of the plant
body into two main systems: a subterranean root system and
aerial shoot system consisting of stems, leaves and flowers.
Neither system can live without the other. Lacking chloroplasts
and living in the dark, roots would starve without sugar and
other organic nutrients imported from the photosynthetic
tissues of the shoot system. Conversely, the shoot system
depends on water and minerals absorbed from the soil by roots.

Asked about menopause, Mrs. P.G. laughed and replied, Dr.
Wilson, I have never yet .1. a period. Im so regular,
.2 could use me for timing the moon. She later revealed
that she was 3.. birth-control pills containing estrogen and
a second female hormone, progesterone.
The patient was a walking, talking confirmation of
Wilsons most deeply held medicine .4. that treating
menopausal women with female hormones could actually
prevent menopause and the fast and painful aging process
that attend it. Three years later, Wilsons best selling book,
Feminine forever, announced the good news to all women.
Since then, estrogen-either alone or combined with
other hormones in a treatment known as hormones
replacement 5... has indeed become the closest thing in a
