Plants that move
Have you ever seen a plant walk? Of course not. Plants don’t walk. They stay in one place. But that doesn’t mean that plants don’t move. They DO move.
Flowers open and close. Some close in the rain. They open again when the rain stops. Many flowers close up at night and open in the morning. Others open and close at different times.
You can tell the time by watching the flowers in a garden. Get up early one morning, at about five o’clock. If you can stay awake, you will see some morning glories opening. If you wait until about 8:30, you will see pumpkin flowers close and dandelions open. At 4:00 o’clock in the afternoon will open.
The leaves of plants move too. They move toward light. Put a house plant by a window. Then look at the plant in a few days. You will see that the leaves will be facing the window. Turn the plant around so that the leaves face you. The next day the leaves will be facing the window again. The leaves move toward the light all alone.
Some leaves do a lot of moving. The leaves of the sensitive plant close up when anything touches them. The leaves of the clover plant fold together at night. The telegraph plant keeps moving all day long. Its leaves grow in sets of three. Two of the leaves move up and down in the daytime, as if they are sending signals. At night the leaves droop.
Who ever said that plants don’t move!
Plants That Glow
Some plants glow in the dark.. They give off light, like little bulbs. These plants shine in the daylight too. But then we cannot see them.
Some glowing plants shine with a green light. Some shine with an orange light. And some shine with a yellow light.
Which plants glow? Many mushrooms do. Some very small plants that live on old wood do. And many, many plants that live at the bottom of the ocean glow too.
No one knows why these plants glow. Some scientists think that glowing helps the plants live. Others say that glowing helped the plants live. Others say that glowing helped the plants a long time ago, but that it no longer does.
Would you like to see some plants that glow? You can sometimes find them in the woods at night. Look for little patches of pale light glowing in the dark. The plants’ light is strange and beautiful. People call this light fox – fire.

TEXT 13 CADASTRE
Nowadays great attention is paid to the rational use of earth resources. It is on the basis of cadastre that their value is determined. The earth itself is one of the main sources of natural resources. It needs to be protected. This is a function of cadastre.
What is cadastre? The derivation of the word “cadastre” used to be ascribed to the Latin “capitastrum” (contraction of “capitum registrum”), a register of “capita”, literally “heads” and so by extension “taxable land units”.
In continental Europe the word “cadastre” came to mean … a systematic classification and valuation of land, under the control of central government, by means of maps of parcels drafted on the basis of topographic surveys and recorded according to parcels in a register.
Cadastre is a systematized data bank of different projects, as concerns their legal and economic status, natural surroundings as well as their location. This bank is regularly renewed due to the constant control over the project.
Its appearance was caused by private land ownership and the necessity of collecting taxes from land owners. First it was a register including the list of taxable lands, with the area of each lot, its plan, soil type and the amount of tax being mentioned.
Now the cadastre is a methodically arranged public inventory of data on the properties within a certain country or district based on a survey of their boundaries. The outlines of the property are shown on large – scale maps.
Closely connected to the word “cadastre” is the term “cadastral survey”, which is simply defined as a survey of boundaries of land units. A cadastral survey may be carried out both for initial information of the parcel as well as for any subsequent changes of the boundaries of the parcel. A cadastral survey may also be conducted in order to re-establish the boundaries missing on the ground.
The concept “cadastre” includes the function of serving the purpose of land taxation and the function of providing a description of land units as a basis for registration of right and encumbrances on land. But a cadastre does not itself serve as a register of right and encumbrances.
Cadastral works embrace: land surveys in cities, towns and suburbs for registering and evaluation as well as for constructing engineering works, communications, industrial and civil structures and laying out lands for landowners. Depending on its object cadastre may be classed into land cadastre, city cadastre, city cadastre and taxation one.
Land cadastre embraces all the data on the lands, their legal, economic and environmental status and location. It is to secure rational earth resources exploration. Land cadastre presents a combination of plans and maps as well as different documents on lands, which give all-round characteristics of these territories. All the collected information may be stored in the computer data base.
