Unit 6 At one with natureStarting out Understanding ideas;Longji Rice Terraces; So why did these people go to so much trouble to turn the entire mountains into terraces? Firstly, there are few large, flat areas of land in the region. Building the terraces therefore meant (3) that they could increase the areas in which they could grow rice. Secondly, (4) although the region has plenty of rain, the mountains are steep and the soil is shallow. The flat terraces catch the rainwater and prevent the soil from being washed away.; But perhaps (5) what is most significant is the way in which people have worked in harmony with nature to make these terraces and grow rice. The terraces are cleverly designed, with hundreds of waterways that connect with each other. During the rainy season, (6) it is along these waterways that rainwater moves down the mountains and into the terraces. The sun heats the water and turns it into vapour. This forms clouds (7) from which rain falls down onto the mountain terraces once again. These terraces also provide a perfect environment for birds and fish, (8) some of which feed on insects that can harm the rice crops. ; Although modern technology could help produce more crops, these terraces still mean a lot to the people (9) for whom traditions hold much value. This knowledge is passed down through families, (10) which means that new generations continue to use ancient methods of agriculture to maintain the terraces. Today, the Longji Rice Terraces attract thousands of visitors (11) who come to admire this great wonder created by people and nature working together. ;(1) 此处为“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句。 (2) starting in...是现在分词短语作时间状语。 (3) that引导宾语从句，其中包含一个“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句。 (4) although引导让步状语从句。 (5) what引导主语从句，在从句中作主语；in which引导定语从句，修饰先行词the way。 (6) 此处为强调句型it is...that...，强调状语along these waterways。 (7) from which引导定语从句，修饰先行词clouds。 (8) 此处为“不定代词＋介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句，修饰先行词birds and fish；其中又包含一个that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词insects。;(9) for whom引导定语从句，修
