Geoffrey Parker, a scientist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Centre in Edgewater．Maryland, said that the increase ha the rate of growth was unexpected and might be 2 to the higher temperatures and longer growing seasons documented in the region．The growth may also be influenced by the significant 3 in atmospheric CO2,he said．
"We made a list of reasons these forests could be growing faster and then excluded half of them," Dr Parker said．Their study suggests that northern forests may become increasingly important in 4 the influence of man-made CO2 on the climate．
Dr Parker and his colleagues have 5 out a detailed record of the trees on a(n) 6 basis since 1987．They calculated that due to the global warming the forest is producing 7 tons of wood each year．
The scientists 8 the land with trees at different stages of growth and found that both young and old trees were showing increased growth rate．More than 90 per cent of the tree groups had grown by between two and four times faster than the scientists had 9 from estimates of the long-term rates of growth．

With the invention of the Internet several decades ago, do you feel that since then it has made us human beings feel more connected to the world and one another, or has it isolated(使孤立)us and made us feel more alone than ever before?
What about you as an individual?
● 2 The Internet enables us to know what’s happening in the world．We couldn't imagine talking to people everywhere in the world twenty years ago．
● 3 It unites us because we talk to others from all around our country and the world, but the Internet can be addicting, and keep us away from people for a while, There is an inherent(内在的)human need for direct human contact(e．g．touching, talking face to face, etc．)that the Internet has all taken away．
● 4 It has given me freedom beyond my imagination．I’m home-bound with many duties to attend to．My life is a bit too crowded．Duties duties duties．I get lost many times not knowing who I really am！This medium is my best friend．It just lets me BE！I can speak here without fear or favor．
● 5 Chatting online is completely different from hanging out with friends outside or hearing their voice over the phone．I find that it’s not just the Internet that has increased this sense of isolation, even iPods, MP3s, such devices can separate us, make us lose focus on the everyday happenings of life．

Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy．They feel heavy pressures from their parents to do well in school．Most students are always being told by their parents to study harder so that they can have a wonderful life．Though this may be good ideas for those very bright students，it can have very bad results for many students who are not quick enough at learning．
Unfortunately，a number of students killed themselves．Others are after comfort in using drugs．Some do bad things with trouble-makers and turn to crime．Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have disappointed their parents．Such students feel that they are less important and leave school before they have finished their study．
It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way．Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers' work to help their children．To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to special school called juku-cram schools．These schools are open during the evening and on weekends, and their only purpose is to prepare students to pass exams, they do not try to educate students in any real sense of the real world. It thus comes as a shock to realize that almost three quarters of the junior or high school population attend these cram schools．
Ordinary Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from fhe students' hair to their clothes and things in their school bag．Child psychologists now think that such strict rules often lead to a feeling of being unsafe and being unable to fit into society．They regard the rules as being harmful to the development of each student．They believe that no sense of moral values is developed and that students are given neither guidance nor training in becoming good citizens．

A．they work very hard B．they find they can't do well at school
C．they feel unimportant D．they are under too much pressure
