Trees in the cities are being robbed of sleep by street lights, according to a famous German scientist. Peter Wohlleben, author of The Hidden Life of Trees said that, like humans, “they also have to sleep at night”
Mr. Wohlleben compares trees in urban areas to orphans who have to grow without their network support, claiming that light pollution makes city life even harder. Mr. Wonleben has studied trees and believes they raise their children, sweat, feel pain and communicate with each other. “Trees that live near street lights will die earlier because it’s like burning a light in your bedroom,” he said. “If you have any influence on street lights, it’s also better for energy saving that they are switched off at 1 o’clock or so.”
He developed the term “wood-wide web” explain how trees communicate and support one another. Mr. Wohlleben said roots had a hard time under pavements that were warmer at night when forests cooled down.
Researchers found artificial light changed the annual rhythm of blossom and might have significant effects on their health, survival and reproduction. Plants have grown well under 24-hour cycles of light and darkness and the spread of artificial lighting disrupts (扰乱) these cycles. Light gives plants information about what time of day it is or the season to carry out, or whether they should be photosynthesizing(光合作用). If it’s light all the time they do not know when to carry out such activities.
In some cases the light is so bright that it affects their growth. Mr. Wohlleben also said that trees shed their leaves in the autumn because snow falling on leaves would cause the branches to break, causing them physical pain. The well-known author looks after forest on behalf of the community in Hümmel, Germany, where machinery is banned and the trees are left alone

C. They can’t sweat or even feel pain.
D. They aren’t supported by other trees.
29. What should people do to protect the urban trees
A. Turn off Street lights at midnight.
B. Know how trees communicate.
C. Burn lights in their bedrooms.
D. Cut off the roots under pavement.
30. How does the light harm trees
A. It breaks the cycle of trees
B. It helps the photosynthesis
C. It tells truth the processes
D. It copies the information of plants.

B. He stopped people using machine there.
C. He made the lights very bright.
D. He made the branches break easily.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Upon reading your message on the bulletin board looking for volunteers to receive the foreign students to come to our school, I feel that I’m capable of the post.
English being my favorite subject, I’ve developed fluency in spoken English and can communicate freely with native speakers. Actually, I once won first prize in a speech contest. Therefore, I’m fully convinced of my ability to communicate in English. Meanwhile, having served as a volunteer has made me confident in working with others.
I look on this job as a good chance for me to broaden my horizon as well as improve my English, and hope to be admitted.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
