<TD class=l17><FONT class=f14 id=zoom><BR>Question 21-31<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"><BR> </SPAN>Legend has it that
sometime toward the end of the Civil <BR>War (1861-1865) a
government train carrying oxen traveling <BR>through the northern
plains of eastern Wyoming was caught in <BR>a snowstorm and had to
be abandoned. The driver returned <BR>the next spring to see what
had become of his cargo. Instead <BR>of the skeletons he had
expected to find, he saw his oxen, <BR>living, fat, and healthy. How
had they survived?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"><BR>
</SPAN>The answer lay in a resource that unknowing Americans
<BR>lands trampled underfoot in their haste to cross the "Great
<BR>American Desert" to reach lands that sometimes proved
<BR>barren. In the eastern parts of the United States, the preferred
<BR>grass for forage was a cultivated plant. It grew well with
<BR>enough rain, then when cut and stored it would cure and
<BR>become nourishing hay for winter feed. But in the dry grazing
<BR>lands of the West that familiar bluejoint grass was often killed
<BR>by drought. To raise cattle out there seemed risky or even
<BR>hopeless.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"><BR> </SPAN>Who
could imagine a fairy-tale grass that required no rain <BR>and
somehow made it possible for cattle to feed themselves all
<BR>winter? But the surprising western wild grasses did just that.
<BR>They had wonderfully convenient features that made them
<BR>superior to the cultivated eastern grasses. Variously known as
<BR>buffalo grass, grama grass, or mesquite grass, not only were
<BR>they immune to drought; but they were actually preserved by
<BR>the lack of summer and autumn rains. They were not juicy
<BR>like the cultivated eastern grasses, but had short, hard stems.
<BR>And they did not need to be cured in a barn, but dried right
<BR>where they grew on the ground. When they dried in this way,
<BR>they remained naturally sweet and nourishing through the
<BR>winter. Cattle left outdoors to fend for themselves thrived on
<BR>this hay. And the cattle themselves helped plant the fresh
<BR>grass year after year for they trampled the natural seeds
<BR>firmly into the soil to be watered by the melting snows of
winter <BR>and the occasional rains of spring. The dry summer air
cured <BR>them much as storing in a barn cured the cultivated
grasses.<BR>21.What does the passage mainly discuss?<BR>(A)<SPAN
