Do you know something about tree rings (年轮)？Do you know they can tell us what the weather was like even hundreds of years ago?
A tree will grow well in a climate (气候）with lots of sunshine and rainfall (雨量) And little sunshine or rainfall will limit (限制）the growth of a tree. We can see the change of climate by studying the tree rings. For example, to find out the weather of ten years ago, count (数)the rings of a tree from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the eleventh ring, then we’re sure that it was sunny and rainy most of that year. If it is close to the eleventh ring, then the climate that year was bad.
Tree rings are important not only for studying the history of weather but also for studying the history of man. Many centuries ago there lived a lot of people at a place in New Mexico. But now you can find only sand but no trees, no people. What happened?
A scientist studied the rings of the dead trees there. He found that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees to make fires and buildings. Because all the trees had gone, the people there had to move.
( )9. What can we know by studying the tree rings of a tree?
A.The history of the tree. B.How the trees grew up.
C.How the weather was before. D.How the tree died.
( )10. If you want to find out the weather of twenty years ago, you should study_________ of a tree from the outside to the inside.

C.the nineteenth ring D.the twenty-second ring
( )11. Why did the people leave the place in New Mexico?
A. Because they cut down all the trees there. B. Because they found a better place.
C.Because there was too much rain there. D.Because there was a big fire.
( )12. What can be the best title for the passage?
Climate changes B.An interesting study
The climate of New Mexico D.Tree rings
