Global warming is a big problem that we have to stop． One of the best things we do is to plant more trees． Trees can take in CO2 in the air and stop global warming．（1）
A team of scientists at Boston University has been working with NASA to study Earths green vegetation（植被）． They used a special NASA camera and found that global leaf area had increased by 5 percent since the early 2000s． （2） That's about one﹣quarter of the size of the entire Amazon rainforest．
The growth mainly came from China's forest protection programs， NASA said． For example， since 1962． China has been planting trees in Saihanba． Hebei Province． It was once a desert，（3）
（4） Ant Forest， a feature in Alipay app， gives users points for doing eco﹣friendly things such as walking and going paperless in the office． Users can then use these points to water and grow their own virtual（虚拟的）trees． When the virtual trees are big enough， Ant Forest will plant real trees somewhere in the world．（5）

| D It takes about 7 to 8 trees to make enough O 2for one person to breathe for a year． Each person needs around 750 kg of O 2per year．A large tree might make around 100kg of O 2per year． |
E To young children． a year might seen to last forever． But older people might say that it flies by． Why is that？ According to the US scientists， young people's brains deal with information faster than older people． They take in more information and do more things in a day． So they feel like each day last longer． However， older people's brains take in less information and see a day pass more quickly． |

Dear Jim， I know how you feel． It's not easy being your age． And it 's not easy being a mother， either． It's common for kids to have trouble talking with parents， and talkative mothers are not new to teenagers． But remember， she's nagging（叨唠） you because she just wants what's best for you． Talking is her way to show love and care． And she also wants to know more about you． After a day 's work． she's tired， too． But she will never be tired of caring about you． Kids should learn to understand and care about parents． In my opinion， it's helpful to share school life with her． Then， you talk and she listens． Doing some housework together with her is another good way for you two to know each other better． And if possible， often tell her your feelings about the things around you． Always keep in mind： be polite and patient． Yours， Dr．Green |
