Arbor Day: Day of Trees

Nebraska was covered with few trees many years ago. The pioneers had trouble in getting enough to build houses. There was no shade from the sun or wind, and crops (庄稼) didn't grow well in the dry earth. So the idea for Arbor Day formed there.

Fortunately, among those moving into Nebraska in 1854 was J. Sterling Morton. He and his wife were nature lovers, and the home they built in Nebraska was quickly planted with trees and flowers. Morton was a reporter of Nebraska's first newspaper, then he became a member of the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture (农业委员会).

On January 4, 1872, Morton first proposed (提议) a tree-planting holiday to be called "Arbor Day" at a meeting of the State Board of Agriculture. The date was set for April 10, 1872. It was estimated (估计) that more than one million trees were planted in Nebraska on the first Arbor Day.

In the years following the Arbor Day, his ideas spread to Kansas, Tennessee, Minnesota and Ohio. Today all 50 states have their own Day of Trees in keeping with local weather.

Hawaii celebrates it in November, while Alaska in May! More interesting, each state has a special "state tree". The "state tree" for Nebraska is cottonwood, for Alaska is Sitka Spruce.

Arbor Day is of American origin (起源) and the idea has spread widely to other lands where it is observed as the "Greening Week" of Japan, "The New Year's Days of Trees" in Israel, "The tree-loving Week" of Korea, and "The National Festival of Tree Planting" in India. Arbor Day in its various forms is now recognized in more than fifty countries. China spends "Tree-planting Day" on March 12.

We have known a lot about Arbor Day. So we should get into action and ask as many people as possible to gather and recycle paper. Then we can use what we earn from the waste paper to buy a special tree to plant in a park or other public places. It is an act of kindness, a labor of love and a duty as citizens. Anyone can do it.

______________________

2.When did Morton first suggest Arbor Day?

______________________

3.What is Alaska's state tree?

______________________

4.How many countries have recognized Arbor Day?

Ten years ago, many people thought that the age of the physical book(纸质书) was coming to an end. The objects that had been the companions(伙伴) of millions of readers for hundreds of years were about to die out. Soon, we’d all be reading on little electronic screens and laughing at the memory of places called “libraries” and “bookshops”.

But it seems not true about the idea of the death of the physical books. At least in the UK, as The Guardian noted, sales of e-books are falling while sales of paper books are rising. More surprisingly, it’s young people who are buying the most physical books. More than 60 percent of 16-to-24-year-olds preferred print books to e-books. The most popular reason given was: “I like to hold the product.”

Books become very personal objects to lovers of reading. It often starts with the way they get them. Many buyers of books like to write down their name on the inside cover when they've bought one. And we carry books around with us everywhere.

If there’s a mark made on the pages from coffee or food, it doesn’t matter. These accidents make the book – our book – even more personal. It’s as if readers of physical books make friends with them.

Of course, some could say that the devices on which people read e-books, like Kindles and iPads are also objects that we like. But it isn't quite the same. A Kindle, can hold as many pieces of writing as a whole library. But a story we remember from our time turning its pages in our favourite armchair enters our memory forever. Physical books are as valuable to some readers as items of jewelry or photographs of family members.

This “friendship” people develop with books isn’t just about feelings. Research has shown that readers remember more information read from physical books than electronic ones.

However, there’s no doubt e-books are here to stay. They aren’t simply a “here today, gone tomorrow” thing. But it’s also certain that physical books, which have been in production since the fifteenth century, are here to stay, too.

1.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Physical books will soon no longer be made.

B. Sales of e-books and print books are both rising．

C. Lovers of physical books are mostly old people.

D. Physical books are making a comeback in the UK.

2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a feature of physical books?

A. Readers can form a very close relationship with their books.

B. Physical books may carry readers’ valuable memories.

C. Readers get more information from physical books than e-books.

D. It is easier for readers to make notes on physical books.

3.Why did the author write this article?

A. To explain why physical books will not disappear soon.

B. To describe different reading tastes in the UK.

C. To explain what makes physical books personal.

D. To recommend that readers read more physical books.
