Part 6: 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 đ ào, oak (n): c ây sồi, shrub
