Once upon a time there lived a poor farmer called Smith. He didn't like to share things with others. Smith had a friend who was famous for the wonderful apples he grew.
One day, his friend gave Smith a young apple tree and told him to take it home and plant it. The farmer was pleased with the gift, but when he got home, he did not know where to plant it.
He thought and thought. Finally at night he planted the tree in his wood where no one could see it. But without sunlight and good soil, the tree soon died.
Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a poor place.
"What's the difference " the farmer said angrily. "If I had planted it near the road, strangers would have stolen the fruit. If I had planted it in one of my fields, my neighbors would have come at night and stolen some of the apples. If I had planted it near my house, my own children would have taken the fruit."
"Yes," said the friend, "but at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit. Now you not only have got nothing, but you also have destroyed a good apple tree."

Tubbat and his wife, Tosontsagaan, are villagers in Inner Mongolia's Ejin Horo Banner(内蒙古伊金霍洛旗), where there is the Badain Jaran Desert(巴丹吉林沙漠), one of China's four biggest deserts. They have spent 16 years fighting against the desert. They plant trees in the desert area to keep the sand and protect the environment.
Tubbat has planted more than 50,000 trees covering about the size of 133 football fields. "When I was a child, there were lakes, forests and animals. And it rained a lot," said Tubbat. "But sandstorms turned the green land into a desert."
Tubbat started to plant trees in 2002 after he finished his job as a government official(政府官员). His wife supported his decision. They did all this for free and even spent most of their own money. "Many people do not understand why I do this. They don't know the happiness I feel when I see the land turn green again," said Tubbat. "My wife's support gives me energy. Our children want us to live in a city. But this is not the right time. I want to grow more trees. " he said.
Tubbat is happy that more people have begun to plant trees after hearing his story. Some have even visited him to learn how to plant trees in the desert. "Trees can bring rain and animals,"he said. "I want to be a tree, to grow up in the desert and hold the sand until I die."
Judge whether the following sentences are true or false判断正(T)误(F)
141. Tubbat and his wife have spent 16 years fighting against the desert.
142. Planting trees in the desert area can keep the sand and protect the environment.
143. The couple planted more trees to get more money.
144. More people stopped planting trees after hearing Tubbat's story.
145. According to the passage, Tubbat wants to spend his whole life planting trees.

Save the world's trees
"When it comes to the earth, there is no time to waste," says the Earth Day Network. And that is right.
Protecting our environment is very important, and World Earth Day was created in 1970 to ask more people to protect our environment. On April 22, people around the world celebrate Earth Day.
Every year there is a special topic, and this year it is "Trees for the Earth", so Earih Day this year will be all about planting trees. They are planning to plant 7.8 billion trees within the next five years.
That's a big goal, and you might wonder why trees are so important. It is because they can take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and protect the air quality(质量). CO2 is a chemical in our atmosphere, but humans make too much of it. Each person makes about 2.3 tons a year, which is bad for the environment.
Well guess what! Planting new trees is important because people cut down a huge number of trees. Last year, there were 3 trillion trees in the world, about 139 billion in China. But according to China Daily, the world's total number has been almost cut in half since human civilization(文明) began. That's because 15 billion trees are cut down every year.
So we need to plant more to make up for(弥补) the ones we lost. One tree can take in 21.8 kilograms of CO2 per year. And it's still one of the cheapest and best ways to get rid of CO2.
But don't forget that we can also help the environment by cutting down on how much energy(能源) and water we use every day. Every little thing helps.

Once upon a time there lived a poor farmer called Smith. He didn't like to share things with others. Smith had a friend who was famous for the wonderful apples he grew.
One day, his friend gave Smith a young apple tree and told him to take it home and plant it. The farmer was pleased with the gift, but when he got home, he did not know where to plant it.
He thought and thought. Finally at night he planted the tree in his wood where no one could see it. But without sunlight and good soil, the tree soon died.
Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a poor place.
"What's the difference " the farmer said angrily. "If I had planted it near the road, strangers would have stolen the fruit. If I had planted it in one of my fields, my neighbors would have come at night and stolen some of the apples. If I had planted it near my house, my own children would have taken the fruit."

Tubbat and his wife, Tosontsagaan, are villagers in Inner Mongolia's Ejin Horo Banner(内蒙古伊金霍洛旗), where there is the Badain Jaran Desert(巴丹吉林沙漠), one of China's four biggest deserts. They have spent 16 years fighting against the desert. They plant trees in the desert area to keep the sand and protect the environment.
Tubbat has planted more than 50,000 trees covering about the size of 133 football fields. "When I was a child, there were lakes, forests and animals. And it rained a lot," said Tubbat. "But sandstorms turned the green land into a desert."
Tubbat started to plant trees in 2002 after he finished his job as a government official(政府官员). His wife supported his decision. They did all this for free and even spent most of their own money. "Many people do not understand why I do this. They don't know the happiness I feel when I see the land turn green again," said Tubbat. "My wife's support gives me energy. Our children want us to live in a city. But this is not the right time. I want to grow more trees. " he said.
Tubbat is happy that more people have begun to plant trees after hearing his story. Some have even visited him to learn how to plant trees in the desert. "Trees can bring rain and animals,"he said. "I want to be a tree, to grow up in the desert and hold the sand until I die."

Save the world's trees
"When it comes to the earth, there is no time to waste," says the Earth Day Network. And that is right.
Protecting our environment is very important, and World Earth Day was created in 1970 to ask more people to protect our environment. On April 22, people around the world celebrate Earth Day.
Every year there is a special topic, and this year it is "Trees for the Earth", so Earih Day this year will be all about planting trees. They are planning to plant 7.8 billion trees within the next five years.
That's a big goal, and you might wonder why trees are so important. It is because they can take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and protect the air quality(质量). CO2 is a chemical in our atmosphere, but humans make too much of it. Each person makes about 2.3 tons a year, which is bad for the environment.
Well guess what! Planting new trees is important because people cut down a huge number of trees. Last year, there were 3 trillion trees in the world, about 139 billion in China. But according to China Daily, the world's total number has been almost cut in half since human civilization(文明) began. That's because 15 billion trees are cut down every year.
So we need to plant more to make up for(弥补) the ones we lost. One tree can take in 21.8 kilograms of CO2 per year. And it's still one of the cheapest and best ways to get rid of CO2.
But don't forget that we can also help the environment by cutting down on how much energy(能源) and water we use every day. Every little thing helps.
