Reading Comprehension 1 :
The walnut tree produces wood that is used for countless purposes, and is
considered the finest wood in the world. The wood is easy to work with,
yet it is very hard and durable—and when it is polished, it produces a
rich, dark luster. It also shrinks and swells less than any other wood, which
makes it especially desirable for fine furniture, flooring, and even gun
stocks.
In fact, just about every part of the walnut is unusually hard and
strong. The nut of the tree is encased inside a very hard shell, which itself is
enclosed in a leathery outer covering called a husk. It requires real effort
to break through those layers to get at the tasty meat inside.
Yet every part of the walnut is useful to people. The outer husk
produces a dark reddish stain that is hard to remove from the hands of
the person who opens the nut, and this pigment is widely used in dyes
and wood stains. The inner shell is used as an abrasive to clean jet
engines. And the meat of the nut is extensively used in cooking, ice
cream, flavorings—and just eaten raw.
Walnut trees exude a chemical into the soil near their roots which
can be poisonous to some trees and shrubs. Fruit trees, for example, will
not survive if planted too close to a walnut. Many other plants, such as
maple trees or ivy, are not affected by the walnut’s presence, and are
well-suited to grow in its vicinity.
