Dont look at the sky. Dont look for old weather reports. Looking at tree rings is more important. Correct weather reports date back only one century, but some trees can provide an exact record of the weather even further back.It is natural that a tree would grow best in a climate with plenty of sunlight and rainfall. It is also expected that little sunlight and rainfall would limit the growth of a tree. The change from a favorable to an unfavorable climate can be determined by reading the pattern of rings in a tree trunk. To find the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree trunk from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the other rings, then it is certain that plenty of sunny and rainy weather occurred. If the rings are closed together, then the climate was bad for the tree.Studying tree rings is important not only for the history of weather, but also for the history of man. In a region of New Mexico you can find only sand-no trees and no people. However, many centuries ago a large population lived there. They left suddenly. Why?A scientist studied patterns of dead tree rings which had grown there. He decided that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees. Trees were necessary to make fires and buildings. So, after the people destroyed the trees, they had to move. In this instance studying tree rings uncovers an exciting fact about the history of man.56. It is understood that in a favorable climate _. A. tree rings grow together B. tree rings grow far apartC. trees in New Mexico will grow big and tallD. people can cut down most of the trees in New Mexico57. The scientists are interested in studying tree rings because they can tell _. A. whether in that area the climate was favorable or notB. whether a particular tree was healthy or notC. whether people took good care of the trees or notD. how old the trees were58. By studying the dead tree rings, the scientist discovered _. A. where the people had leftB. what the people used to eatC. how the people leftD. why the people had to leave59. The people had to leave the region of New Mexico because _. A. they had cut down all the treesB. there were many trees thereC. they had no waterD. bad weather stopped the growth of trees60. The main idea of the passage is _. A. tree rings reflect (反映) the history of weather and the history of manB. destroying tree will do man no goodC. studying tree ring is the only way to know the history of weatherD. man shouldnt cut so many trees BWhy play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules planning your next moveacting as a team memberthese are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such an taking turns and cooperating (合作).Many childrens games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which sharpens the hand-eye coordination（协调）needed in hunting.Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes (运动员) from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who carried it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.Sports are also an event that unites（联合） people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play itsome for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.61.
