IX. Read the following passage and choose the correct answers: (2ms)
Over a period of time, many habitats change with respect to the types of plants
and animals that live there. This change is known as succession.
Succession occurs because plants and animals cause a change in the
environment in which they live. The first weeds and grasses that appear on a bare
field, for example, change the environment by shielding the soil from the direct
sunlight. As these plants spread, the ground surface becomes cooler and moisture
than it was originally. Thus, the environment at the ground surface has been
changed. The new surface conditions favor the sprouting of shrubs. As shrubs
grow, they kill the grasses by preventing light from reaching them and also build
up the soil in the area. In addition, they attract animals that also enhance the soil.
Pine seedlings soon take hold and as they grow, they in turn shade out the shrubs.
They are not able to shade out oak and hickory seedlings, however, they have
found the forest floor suitable. These seedlings grow into large trees that eventually
shade out the pines. ( hickory (n): cây hồ đào,(n):

with traditions from several countries. People from the various nation groups have
married each other, so today the groups are partly mixed.
