Trees are useful to human beings in three important ways：they 1 them with food and other produces; they give them 2 ; and they help to 3 floods． 4 in many parts of the world, people haven't realized that the 5 of these services is the most important．To get quick profits from the tree, they have cut them in 6 numbers, only to find that they have 7 their good friends．Two thousand years ago a rich and 8 country cut down its trees to build warships, with which it seized an empire．It gained the empire, 9 , without its trees, its 10 became hard and poor．When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced with floods and starvation．
It is difficult for the government to 11 the villagers to see this．They are usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after new trees． 12 the government has a good system of control, the forest will slowly 13 ．This does not only mean that the villagers' sons and grandsons will have fewer trees．The results are even more 14 ．Where there are trees, their roots break the soil up－allowing rain to sink in．The roots also bind the soil, 15 preventing it from being washed away easily．If there are no trees, rain falls on hard ground and flows away from the surface, carrying away with it, the rich top-soil．When all the top-soil is gone, nothing 16 but a worthless desert．

Without most people realizing it, there has been a revolution(革命)in office work over the last ten years．Before that time, large computers were only used by large, rich companies that could afford the investment．With the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market, which are able to do the work that used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them．
The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors(文字处理软件), or WPS as they are often called．40％ of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast．
There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager．The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers．He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss．From a manager’s point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours．
But is it all good?If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed．Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units(显示器)．The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly．It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed．Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them．
Whatever the arguments for and against word processor, they are a key feature(特征)of this revolution in office practice．

Tom Brennan was working in a Philadelphia office building when he noticed a black bag. The bag contained a book.
This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasure-a 120-page diary kept 190 years ago by Deborah Logan,” a woman who knew everybody in her day,” James Green ,the librarian told the magazine American Libraries.
Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia. It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington D.C. in the war of 1812. She describes President James Madison on horseback as "perfectly shaking with fear “during the troubled days. George Washington, she writes, mistook her for the wife of a French man and praised her excellent English.
The adventure of the lost book began on September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from England to deliver the diary of his ancestor(祖先)to the Library Company, which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary.
Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his possession “ about five minutes” when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person. On returning to his hotel after showing the precious book to Green, Luxmoore was shocked to realize that he had left it in the taxi.
Without any delay, Green began calling every taxi company in the city, with no luck, "I've felt sick since then," Luxmoore told reporters.According to Green, no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building .
