Trees in cities 'live fast but die young“ compared to forests in the countryside, warns a new study.
Researchers found that trees in cities die younger than ones in the countryside because of the higher levels of CO2. City-living trees suffer(遭受)a loss of carbon storage(碳储量).That means trees produce less energy from the air.
Now researchers say more must be done to deal with the situation. Ian Smith,a PhD student of Boston University in the United States, said, 'Cities are in the important position in fighting against rising temperatures and increasing CO2.” “We find that tree planning alone may not be enough to keep and increase city canopy cover(树冠覆盖率).Because of the age and size of the present canopy, efforts to improve and protect tree health are badly needed for increasing city tree cover and canopy cover. ”
The research team used a model to watch changes among street trees for several planning and management methods. Researchers also used the model to watch tree growth, death and planing rates(率) both among trees in Boston city and forests in the countryside in Massachusetts.
It was discovered that rates of carbon cycling and growth rates among city trees were nearly four times faster than those in the countryside. However, loss of carbon storage and death rates are also higher, especially death rates are more than double higher than those in countryside forests.
The study,published in PLOS ONE,has reminded scientists to encourage communities to do more to plant and protect trees. It is important to increase city canopy cover and carbon storage.
Researchers say planning and protecting will be needed to make sure cities can develop healthily, but more needs to be done to have a better understanding of city trees-which may be different from countryside forests.
1. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE
A. The more carbon storage loses,the more energy the trees produce from the air.
B. The higher the levels of CO2 are, the harder it will be for the plants to survive.
C. If we plant enough trees,we are sure to increase city canopy cover.
D. Cities do better in fighting against rising temperatures and increasing CO2.
2. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us_________.
A. the results of the study
B. the discoveries from the researchers
C. the methods of the study
D. the suggestions from the researchers
3. What does “those“ in Paragraph 5 refer to
A. Death rates. B. Rates of carbon cycling.
C. Growth rates. D. Loss of carbon storage.
4. The writer’s main purpose of writing the passage is______________.
A. to teach us how to improve and protect tree health
B. to warn us that trees in cities live fast but die young
C. to let us have a better understanding of city trees
D. to tell us to take action to increase city canopy cover

Beyond its influence on health, not getting enough sleep can lead to car accidents or other mistakes. Here are what sleep researchers have found about how to sleep.
How much sleep do we actually need
It is known that all of us naturally need no less than eight hours of sleep per night. When we sleep below six hours per 24,we're at an increased risk of health problems. Some of us think we can make up any of those hours lost during the week on the weekends. Sadly there is no storage system for sleep in the brain.
Can we train ourselves to need less sleep
As a study in 1964,a 17-year-old boy named Randy Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours. How many people could do anything close to that without dying
When you are reading this,you might say you usually get six hours of sleep and feel just fine. Sleep experts often compare people without enough sleep to drunk drivers: They don't get behind the wheel thinking they're probably going to kill someone.
Can we drink coffee instead of sleeping
Coffee can keep us awake. Remember,too much coffee may throw off our sleep and energy cycles. So limit coffee and avoid caffeine for four to six hours before bediime.
Does a sense of purpose connect to sleep quality
A new research suggests a kind of strong connection between purpose in iife and sleep. People who have a greater sense of purpose usually have better physical and mental health, which in turn explains their higher-quaiity sleep. Perhaps developing a sense of purpose in iife could be as useful at improving sleep as the healthy habits above.
How to sleep
Introduciion Not getiing enough sleep can influence our health and cause many 1 mistakes.
Findings from 2 researchers How much sleep do we actually need Eight hours of sleep a night is 3 for all of us. Sleeping less than six hours a day can 4 the risk of health problems. It is 5 to make up the lost sleeping hours during the workweek.
