The answer lay in a resource that unknowing Americans lands trampled underfoot in their haste to cross the “Great American Desert” to reach lands that sometimes proved barren In the eastern parts of the United States, the preferred grass for forage was a cultivated plant It grew well with enough rain, then when cut and stored it would cure and become nourishing hay for winter feed But in the dry grazing lands of the West that familiar bluejoint grass was often killed by drought To raise cattle out there seemed risky or even hopeless Who could imagine a fairy-tale grass that required no rain and somehow made it possible for cattle to feed themselves all winter? But the surprising western wild grasses did just that They had wonderfully convenient features that made them superior to the cultivated eastern grasses Variously known as buffalo grass, grama grass, or mesquite grass, not only were they immune to drought; but they were actually preserved by the lack of summer and autumn rains They were not juicy like the cultivated eastern grasses, but had short, hard stems And they did not need to be cured in a barn, but dried right where they grew on the ground When they dried in this way, they remained naturally sweet and nourishing through the winter Cattle left outdoors to fend for themselves thrived on this hay And the cattle themselves helped plant the fresh grass year after year for they trampled the natural seeds firmly into the soil to be watered by the melting snows of winter and the occasional rains of spring The dry summer air cured them much as storing in a barn cured the cultivated grasses 71 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A Most history book include the story of the train B The story of the train is similar to other ones from that time period C The driver of the train invented the story D The story of the train may not be completed factual 73 The word “they” in line refers to _ A plains B skeletons C Americans D oxen VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí 74 What can be inferred about the “Great American Desert” mentioned in line 7?
