Grass is probably the most successful living plant in the world. There are over 9,000 different types of grasses and they are in every region on the earth. They are the only flowering plants that can exist in the freezing of the Arctic and the Antarctic. Grasslands support a wide range of animal life, from tiny insects and birds to huge animals like cows and lions. All of them on the grass in one way or another. Grass recovers very quickly after it is cut or damaged. Unlike other plants, the new leaves grow from the soil, not from the top of the plant. That is why large families of animals are able to live together in one are. As as they have eaten all the grass there, a fresh meal is always available because the plants start to grow again.
Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.
The term oil painting refers to more than a technique. It defines an art form. The technique of mixing pigments with oil had existed since the ancient world. However, oil painting as an art form was not born until there was a need to develop and perfect the technique in order to express a particular view of life. The techniques of tempera (paint mixed with egg white) and fresco (water paints used on wet plaster) were felt to be inadequate for this need. Canvas instead of wooden panels were found to be a suitable medium for oil painting as wood did not hold the paint well. When oil paint was first used at the beginning of the fifteenth century for painting pictures of a new character, this character was somewhat inhibited by the survival of various medieval artistic conventions. Consequently, the oil painting did not fully establish its own norms, its own way of seeing, until the sixteenth century.
Nor can the end of the period of the oil painting be dated exactly. Oil paintings are still being painted today. Yet the basis of its traditional way of seeing was undermined by Impressionism and overthrown by Cubism. At about the same time, the photographs took the place of the oil painting as the principal source of visual imagery. For these reasons, the period of the traditional oil painting may be roughly set as between 1500 and 1900.
