题目内容

【题目】 This is a tale of two friends Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi—one is blind, the other has no arms. On their own,the two are ―disabled‖. But together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village into a rich, green forest.

Their story began in 2000,when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither could find a job, so the two decided to team up. They rented(租)some poor land and began to plant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee.

Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. In addition, it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season.

When they work together, they focus on(聚焦) their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 am. When the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite. Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant,the two use branches(树枝) from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the treetop and with Wenqi's direction,chooses the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area. As Wenqi waters,Haixia says to others, “We are proud not to depend on others.”

Though they work hard, they don't make much money. Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. Together, they already have everything they need—a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world!

【题目】 Today there are more fires than in the past. Over 100,000 wildfires burn each year in America. Russia has 20,000 to 35,000 wildfires every year. Australia has on average 60,000 each year. These fires destroy huge areas of forests and burn hundreds of homes.

Many experts believe _______. The first is climate change. Recent weather has been warmer and drier. This leads to dangerous fire conditions. When lightening strikes, dry grass easily catches fire. Hot winds add to the problem. The wind spreads a fire quickly. In 2010, Russia had the hottest and driest summer in a century. In just one month, 500 fires destroyed over 2,000 homes. Some people lost their lives.

Traditional fire-fighting practices are another reason for the increase in fires. In America, firefighters used to quickly put out every fire. They didn't allow the grass and trees to burn. As a result, today many forests have thicker vegetation(植被). Thicker vegetation means more fuel for fires. also, without fires from time to time, forests become overcrowded and unhealthy. Some trees are dead. The dead wood then easily catches fire. So surprisingly, America has many more fires today partly because of its past fire-fighting practices.

Scientists now understand that a fire can be a natural part of healthy forest. As a result, countries like Australia allow more fires to burn naturally. Sometimes, fire fighters even start fires to get rid of dead wood. Of course, they carefully control the fires. The fire thins out old trees. This allows sunlight to reach the ground. As a result, fires help new trees to grow. Therefore, if a fire is not a serious threat to people, firefighters may let it burn naturally.
