Trees are one of the oldest“citizens(公民)”of our Earth．They keep our air clean,。Reduce noise pollution，improve water quality(质量)and provide food and building materials．

    Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow．At one to three years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves．For example，many trees grow thorns(刺)to warn animals not to go near. Most young trees have large，deep green leaves so that they can catch enough sunlight and change it into their food and energy.

    当小树成长到四年的时候，它们成长可是加速并且进一步强壮，以足以面对未来生命中的挑战At the age of l5，trees become young adults．They grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit．

    It is not until山e tree is 20 to 25 years old that it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its 1argest．Not only does the adult tree give us shade，oxygen(氧气)and natural beauty；it is also a great place for a tree house，or a place for us to nap，read a book，listen to music or sip(小口喝)tea．If we give the adult tree proper care，it will continue to live healthily for many years.

    Gradually(渐渐地)，trees begin to grow older and older and even die．At this time，they still have their important place in nature．When a tree becomes hollow(空心的)or part of it becomes dead．it provides a home to small animals and is a source of food for many other animals.

    In many ways．the life of a tree is similar(相似的)to our own life experience. When we are looking at the life of a tree , we learn about that each period of life brings its own form of joy and challenge．Enjoy every minute of the life of the trees and take care of the trees!
