Around the world there is an increase in the demand for reforestation. This is because the consumption of the forests has affected not only the animals living in the area but also the people. And reforestation is about the rebuilding of the forests that have been severely destroyed. It can offer a lot of benefits when the recreation is successful.
This includes collecting seedlings(幼苗) that are native in the area to make sure that there is a natural reconstruction of the area. Some additional trees which are not native in the area also need to be planted.
The importance of having multiple species of trees is considered to make sure that the needs of other species that will live and grow in the area are met.
Destroying a forest is easy but rebuilding it is really hard.
The plan must include accurate spacing on plants and trees. This is to ensure that they won’t cover each other while they grow.
The forest greatly helps in the reduction of the air pollution. Trees are responsible for the production of oxygen and absorption of carbon dioxide.
It is there for a reason just like everyone else on this planet.
There cannot be a better way to restore the balance of nature than to increase the forest area. We must remember that the forest is a natural habitat of wide variety of animals and plants. In this manner, there is no substitute for reforestation.
A.And global warming will speed up the destruction of forests. |
B.Keep in mind that you can’t just plant the seedlings anywhere. |
C.Recreations won’t work until all these details have been considered. |
D.So a good plan is needed to make the reforestation a successful one. |
E. The forest also protects us from typhoons and other natural disasters.
F. There are many things to be done when it comes to this type of effort.
G. It is important to make sure that they are suited to the climate and the type of soil.
Choosing a Career After High School
Start thinking early about what kind of work you may want to explore after high school, remembering that you can change careers several times throughout your work life. Your exact choice should take into consideration your interests, personality and personal goals. Read on for some general options to think about when you are choosing a career after high school.
1. Take a personality and interest test. The Keirsey Temperament Sorter assumes that you have your own patterns of attitude and actions that are as unique to you as the build of your body. The Keirsey test gives you 71 multiple-choice questions to determine exactly how you interact with the world.
2. Careers in the professions and most government work require a college education, with a minimum of a bachelor's degree. Other careers do not require a college education, but rather offer on-the-job training and start you out in an entry-level position from which you can grow.
3. Take vocational training courses. Vocational training prepares you for a specific job and can usually be completed in six months to one year. This may not be a very good option if you struggled with your grades in high school. Vocational training programs are usually modeled after academic training, but are much more hands-on as they allow you to actually do the work while you learn.
4. Join the military. The military pays for your future university education and offers you an attractive enlistment(应征入伍) bonus. You will be trained to learn a variety of skills, so be prepared for a highly structured environment that demands self-discipline and hard work.
5. Start a business. It is important that you enter a career that makes you want to devote yourself wholly to. This option takes serious discipline and focus, and it requires you to learn basic business skills in addition to the skills of your particular kind of work.
A.Personality varies from person to person. |
B.You become qualified to join at the age of 18. |
C.Find out the educational requirements for your career choices. |
D.Starting a business can be a great challenge for them. |
E. There are many good online tests that will help you discover what kind of career suits your personality.
F. If you cannot find the right fit in an existing job, then you may be able to create your job through self-employment.
G. When you graduate from high school, you can either choose to continue your schooling or pursue a career, with all its seemingly endless choices.

A. Chapter One. …you probably have an image in your mind of what the “perfect’ or “ideal” body looks like. Try not to press yourself to look that way. Each person is born with genes that control the shape of his/her body. Everyone is different. It’s important to be comfortable with the body you have.
B. Chapter Two. …You use energy for everything you do. That energy comes from the food you eat. Too much food or too little exercise causes your body to store the extra energy in fat cells. But, if you exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet, you’ll feel healthier and stronger not to mention look great.
C. Chapter Three. … Your body runs best on foods high in carbohydrates(碳水化合物) and low in fat and sugar. Eating a healthy diet will provide your body with everything it needs to run smoothly. Your body breaks down proteins into amino acids(氨基酸), so you don’t need to take in the amino acids separately.
D. Chapter Four. …Exercise does more than just burn calories. For instance, regular exercise makes your muscles strong and flexible, and increases the amount of muscle you have. It also makes your heart stronger and lowers your blood pressure; …
E. Chapter Five. …Always warm up and stretch for 5-10 minutes before you do strength or endurance exercises. Afterwards, take 10 minutes to cool down. Your heart should beat normally when you stop. Exercising with a group may help you to exercise regularly.
F. Chapter Six. …Supplementation of a mixture of essential amino acids will increase protein synthesis (蛋白质综合体). While supplementing with either carbohydrate or amino acids(氨基酸) may limit muscle damage and stimulate (激励) protein synthesis, there is increasing evidence that the combination can have an addictive effect.

The cure for sleeping problems can often be found in your daily routine. Your day-to-day lifestyle choices greatly influence the quality of your nightly rest. The following tips will help you to get a better sleep.
Set a regular bedtime. Choose a time when you normally feel tired to go to bed so that you don’t toss and turn for hours before falling asleep. Try not to break this routine at the weekend, when you may want to stay up late. If you want to change your bedtime, help your body adjust (适应) by making the change gradually.
If you can’t avoid the noise of barking dogs, loud neighbors, city traffic, or other people in your household, try masking (掩盖) it with a fan, recordings of smoothing (舒缓的) sounds, or white noise. You can buy a special sound machine or produce your own white noise by setting your radio between stations. .
Keep your room cool. Most people sleep best in a slightly cool room (around 65℉or 18℃). A bedroom that is too hot or cold is not good for your sleep.
You should have enough room to sleep comfortably. If you often wake up with a sore back or an aching neck, you may need to buy a new mattress (床垫) or a different pillow.
A.Try to keep the noise down. |
B.Earplugs (耳塞) may also help. |
C.Make sure your bed is comfortable. |
D.Go to bed at the same time every night. |
E. Spend more time outside in the daytime.
F. The temperature of your bedroom also affects your sleep.
G. If you are getting enough sleep, you should wake up naturally without an alarm.
Hospital emergency rooms treat injured fingers all the time.Without treatment, a bad cut can lead to permanent damage.But how should a person know when a bleeding cut is serious enough to require medical attention?
Here are some tips from Dr. Martin Brown, chairman of the department of emergency at Inova Alexandria Hospital in Virginia.
1. Laceration (裂口)
The medical term for a cut or tear in the skin is a laceration. A long cut on a finger can likely be treated without a visit to a doctor if the wound is not very deep. However, if you have a short but deep laceration, you will need professional attention.
2. Fingertips cut off
Some injuries, like a fingertip that gets cut off, might even need surgery to repair.More often, cutting down the bone is what is done because reattaching a fingertip is often not successful.
3. Bleeding
Small cuts usually produce what is known as venous (静脉的) bleeding. This means the blood flows steadily from the injury.The bleeding will often stop when pressure is put on the wound. In most cases holding direct pressure with a clean cloth for four to rive minutes would do.But if a cut appears to be pumping blood out with some force, this may be a sign of arterial (动脉的)bleeding.
Finally, always keep this in mind: even a cut that does not require medical attention must be kept clean to prevent infection. Small cuts should be cleaned gently with clean water. Then cover it with a clean, dry bandage.
A.How a wound bleeds can be a sign of how serious it is. |
B.That requires a specialist to either cut down the bone or reattach the fingertip |
C.This kind of injury should be treated by a medical professional as soon as possible. |
D.The first signs of this disease include difficulty in opening the mouth. |
E.Use a washcloth to clean the area if the wound is dirty.
F.With a cut finger, holding the hand above the heart can reduce the loss of blood.
G.The length is usually not as important as the depth.
primitive a. to express approval, especially by clapping the hands
preserve b. intended for, applying to, or acting on a particular thing
specific c. to increase the speed of
systematic d. of or relating to an earliest or original stage or state
dizzy e. to keep in perfect or unaltered condition; maintain unchanged
accelerate f. of, characterized by, based on, or constituting a system
applaud g. having a whirling sensation and a tendency to fall
arrest h. the act or process of dividing
division i. to stop; check; to seize and hold under the authority of law
alternative a. the branch of anthropology that studies prehistoric people and their cultures
tentative b. in spite of everything; dis-regarding drawbacks

sharpen d. the choice between two mutually exclusive possibilities
