After reading the passage,please answer the following questions:lWhat problems did the local people meet?lWhy did these people go through so much trouble?lHow did the local people solve the problems by working with nature?They met two two problems.The first one is that there are few large,flat areas of land in the region for people to grow rice.The other one is that the mountains are steep and the soil is shallow.Firstly,there are few large,flat areas of land in the region.Building the terraces therefore meant that they could increase the areas in which they could grow rice.Secondly,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.The terraces are cleverly designed,with hundreds of waterways that connect with each other.During the rainy season,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 from which rain falls down onto the mountain terraces once again.These terraces also provide a perfect environment for birds and fish,some of which feed on insects that can harm the rice crops.Para.1The scenery of the Longji Rice Terraces at all seasons.Para.2The history of the Longji Rice Terraces.Para.3The reason why the Zhuang and Yao
