阅读理解。     A prairie is a type of grassland. Prairies are made up of a complete interdependent ecosystem. This means that all kinds of plants and animals in a prairie region depend on one another for survival (生存). The membersof a prairie ecosystem include grass, flowering plants, animals, soil (土壤), sand, and fire.      You may look at a prairie and think there's nothing there but grass, but that' s not true. Most of the prairie's living things are below the ground. Underneath the prairie' s surface are roots and bulbs (根茎). The roots ofthe prairie flowers and grass run deep. Some of them are as deep as 3.5 metres below the ground.      It is impmtant for the roots to run deep becau fires are a part of the prairie ecosystem. When a fire bums through the prairie, plants with shallow (not deep) roots can not survive. Plants that have deep root systems are able to survive the fires. When fire burns across a prairre, it bums dead plants from the top and returns tho nutrients (养料) to the soil. This adds to the richness of the prairie soil. Prairies have some of the richest soil in the United States. This cycle of growth and buming has been going on for thousands of years. Big bluestem is the plant that gives parts of the prairie the name "tallgrass prairie".      Big bluestem has very deep roots, and its stems (茎) are often 2 metres tall.      The American bison (野牛) or buffalo, is the country' s largest land animal. Its home is on the prairies. In1830, there were an estimated 30 million to 60 million bison in the United States. By 1889, Americans had made the bison population to fewer than l,000 animals. Through great efforts, bison are being reintroduced to the prairies. They are also kept in zoos. The bison population has grown to veral hundred thousand today.      Humans have put the prairie ecosystem in danger. Through constant farming, building, fire prevention, and ignorance( not knowing) of how the prairie works, the United States has lost much of its natural prairie. Through education and other work , we can hope to save some of it. 1. A prairie is a type of  ________. A. plants B. animals C. grassland D. soil 2.
