Cactuses
仙人掌

Cactuses are used to living in desert. The whole body of a cactus is green. The stalk is oval and there are thorns all over its body. Actually the thorns in their bodies are their leaves. The leaves are like this only because they can stop the water in their bodies from evaporating into the hot and dry air. The cactuses have long roots and they take their roots deep into the earth so that they can get the water from deeper soil.
仙人掌生长在沙漠之中。一颗仙人掌的全身上下都是绿色的。茎呈椭圆状，全身上下布满了刺。它们身上的这些刺事实上是它们的叶子。叶子长成这样的唯一原因是为了防止身体中的水分蒸发到又干又热的空气中去。仙人掌的根很长，它们的根深深地插入土壤之中，以便从更深的土壤中获取水分

Their flowers are always small and white.Although they are ignored in the desert, they never give up coming out and always decorate the desert silently.
它们的花总是小而洁白。尽管生长在沙漠之中无人理睬，但是它们从来没有放弃开放，静静地点缀着沙漠，为其增加美丽。
