Some of you may play Ant Forest. It is a game on Ali pay. Users collect "energy" to make their "trees" grow. When the "energy" reaches a certain level (程度), some organizations and companies will plant a real tree in a desert area of China. And now it seems that the country's efforts as a whole to make a greener world have paid off.

According to a study by NASA, China and India are the main reasons for making the Earth greener over the past twenty years. The study has found that since 2000 the Earth's green leaf area has increased by 5 percent, or over 5 million square kilometers. The increased green leaf area is as large as that of the Amazon rainforest. It is mainly the result of big trees-planting programs in China and intensive agriculture (集约型农业) in both countries, according to NASA. China and India take up one third of the increased greening, but is only 9 percent of the planet's land area covered in vegetation.

China played the most important role in the increase of the green land, adding 25 percent to this increase, while India added 6.8 percent. Over the past years, China has made great efforts to green the land. In 1978, China began a nation-wide forestation project–the Three North Shelterbelt Forest Program, also known as the" Great Green Wall". The program has seen many trees planted in 13 provinces and autonomous regions such as Tibet and Inner Mongolia in northern China to act as windbreak. By the end of 2017, the forest coverage rate among the areas of the project had reached 13.57 percent, compared to 5.05 percent 40 years ago.

Because of China's success in dealing with desertification (沙漠化), the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) believes the country is a good example for others to follow. China is one of the most successful countries in greening the desert and has lessons to share with the world.

1.What lesson can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A.Failure is the mother of success.

B.A small step can make a difference.

C.All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

2.The underlined phrase "paid off" means ________ in Chinese.

A.获得回报 B.支付费用 C.还清账款

3.China and India ________.

A.get one third of the land area covered in vegetation on the earth

B.work together for the green leaf area in the Amazon rainforest

C.both play an important role in making the land greener

4.Which is right about the program "Great Green Wall"?

A.The Great Wall has become greener with the help of the program.

B.The program was started about 40 years ago to plant more trees in China.

C.Thanks to the program, many trees have been planted in Hunan Province.

5.The passage is mainly about ________.

A.China's important part in desertification

B.China's successful experience in working with India

C.China's efforts and achievements in greening the land

An ant is saved by a pigeon, and almost immediately returns the favor.

One day an ant found a grain of corn and decided to take it home. He held it very tight, and hurried as fast as he could, so that nobody would take the grain of corn from him. There was a river on the way home, but the ant, in a hurry, had forgotten about it, and he fell in, corn and all.

The corn slipped from his mouth and went to the bottom of the river. The ant stayed on top of the water and worked hard to find a place to get out. But after a while, the ant began to be afraid that he was out of breath.

A pigeon came to the river to drink, and she saw the ant crying for help in the water. She decided that she would help the little fellow. She took a long, dry piece of grass and dropped it so that it fell near the ant. He climbed on to the grass and soon got out. The ant caught his breath, and then thanked the pigeon for saving him.

There was a boy near the river with a gun. The ant saw him walking up nearer and nearer to the pigeon. Hurrying as fast as he could, the ant climbed up the boy’s leg and gave him a hard bite.

The boy dropped his gun and cried out, and the pigeon saw him and flew to safety. Each had saved the other. When the pigeon saved the ant she did not know that the ant would ever be able to do anything for her in return. Each was happier because of what each did for the other.
