Soil conservation(保护)efforts protect soil from wind and water that can blow or wash it away．[1]_________ One important form of soil conservation is the use of windbreaks．Windbreaks stop the wind from blowing soil away．They also keep the wind from destroying or damaging crops．Windbreaks are barriers formed by trees and other plants with many leaves．[2]_________ Windbreaks are effective when a wall of trees and other plants blocks the wind．The windbreaks should also limit violent motions of the wind to those areas closest to the windbreak．
[3]_________ If the wall of trees and plants stops wind completely, then violent air motions will take place close to the ground．These motions cause the soil to lift up into the air where it will be blown away．[4]_________ An easy rule to remember is that windbreaks can protect areas up to ten times the height of the tallest trees in the windbreak．There should be at least two lines in each windbreak．One line should be large trees．The second line, right next to it, can be formed from shorter trees and other plants with leaves．Windbreaks not only protect land and crops from the wind．They can also provide wood products．[5]_________
a．Windbreaks seem to work best when they allow a little wind to pass through．
b．Good soil produces food crops for both humans and animals．
c．For the long term, trees will be planted throughout the area to act as windbreaks which will provide adequate protection．
d．Farmers plant windbreaks in lines around their fields．They are very important when grains such as wheat are grown．
e．Plantations are also sometimes known as “man made forests” or “tree farms”．Environmental Plantations may be established for watershed or soil protection．These are established for erosion control, landslide stabilization and windbreaks reduce carbon di oxide and increase oxygen levels in atmosphere．
f．These include wood for fuel and longer pieces for making fences．Locally grown trees and plants are best for windbreaks．
g．For this reason, a windbreak is best if it has only 60 to 80 per cent of the trees and plants needed to make a solid line．

查看习题详情和答案>>Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.Recite and repeat in conversation.
When you hear a person’s name，repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.
Ask the other person to recite and repeat.
You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.
Admit you don’t know.

Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.
When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.
Go early.
