Cycads（苏铁）grow in warm places．They are tall and green all year round．Their leaves grow on the top and flowers seldom come out．Some have bright orange fruits．They usually need hundreds of years to grow into adult plants．
Cycads are facing problems now．In South Africa，the situation of cycads is getting terrible，but this has drawn little attention from the public．"In fact，there are 38 kinds of cycads in South Africa．Among them，2 kinds have disappeared since 2003 and 25 kinds are in great danger，"said a gardener．"Do you know what the loneliest plant is in the world？It is Wood's Cycad．Someone found it in a forest in 1895．It is the only one of its kind．"
So what causes cycads to be in danger？Surprisingly，the danger is from the people who love them most． These slow﹣growing adult cycads even sell for tens of thousands of dollars each．As time goes by，they have become a symbol（象征）of wealth and position（ 地位）in society．This makes cycad lovers want to own more． Cycad lovers buy and plant them in their private gardens．As a result，nearly all these cycads die because the living conditions have changed．
Recently，South African government has taken some actions to protect cycads from being stolen traded．At the same time，people around the world should also work together to protect the plants．
（1）The flowers of Cycads come out once a year．
（2）The cycad lovers cause cycads to be in danger．
（3）The Wood's Cycad found in 1895 is the only one of its kind．
（4）Cycads have become a symbol of luck and health．

Have you ever seen a horse with toes？Millions of years ago，horses had many toes．They had four toes on each front foot．They had three toes on each back foot．The horses were no bigger than the cats．These small horses lived in the forest．The toes helped the horses run on the soft，wet ground．
At first，it was very hot in the forest．But the weather changed．It became very cold．Many trees could not live in cold weather．The trees died and fell．Open fields took the place of forests．The sun made the ground dry and hard．
Horses began to change，too．They began to get bigger．This took a long time．On the dry，hard land，horses needed only their middle toes for running．Their middle toes became hard．After a long time，horses had only one hard toe on each foot．Now we call this hard toe a hoof（蹄子）．

Since NASA's Viking Task tested Martian soil back in the 1970s，we've known that Mars （火星） is covered with a desert—harmful to life as we know it.But since tasks to Mars paid attention to what lies under the desert，a different picture has started to appear.
This discovery of water under the Mars' South Pole is the result of radar echoes （雷达回波） that were picked up by an instrument on a spaceship that's been moving around Mars for 15 years.To stay liquid （液体） under the long﹣frozen desert of Mars，the researchers say this lake must have a lot of salts mixed in it.
It is very cold and saltiness would make it a very hard environment for any living thing.But the lead researcher，Professor Roberto Orosei from the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics，said it was not impossible for things to live there.
To search for life in this newly discovered lake，scientists will need to send a robot that's able to make a hole through the mile of ice covering it.But at least the teams looking for life on Mars will now know where to start their search.
