Do you want to know something about the history of weather? Don't look at the sky. Don't 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 or 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 out 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 close 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 uncovered an exciting fact about the history of man.
1.It is understood that in a favorable climate____________.
A.tree rings grow close together
B.tree rings grow far apart
C.trees in New Mexico will grow big and tall
D.people can cut down most of the trees in New Mexico
2.Why did ancient people usually live where there were plenty of trees?
A.Trees provided them with shades.
B.Trees indicated plenty of sunlight and rainfall.
C.Trees were materials for cooking and building houses.
D.Trees provided them with fruit and food.
3.Scientists are interested in studying tree rings because they can tell__________.
A.a lot about what happened in history.
B.whether a particular tree was healthy or not.
C.whether people took good care of the trees or not.
D.how old the trees were.
4.By studying the dead tree rings in Mexico the scientist found out____________.
A.where the people had to go
B.what the people had to eat
C.how the people left
D.why the people had to leave
5.The people had to leave the region of New Mexico because__________.
A.they had cut down all the trees
B.there were many trees there
C.they had no water
D.bad weather stopped the growth of trees

“Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better, which makes everyone a better person.” Mason, a volunteer said.
National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity（机会）to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations. Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.
The following tips can help if you have some of these worries.
★Start out slowly, don’t add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life.
★Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.
★Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.
★Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot and he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization’s expectations.
★Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.
★Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right opportunity.
Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, “…little things can change a person’s life.”
1.What could be the reason to stop people taking the first step?
A.They don’t have enough time. B.They are prevented by their families.
C.They fear that their abilities are shared. D.They don’t expect to become volunteers.
2.Which of the following can help people take the first step?
A.Start out quickly. B.Organize a training meeting.
C.Invite a friend to be with them. D.Join in a group with different values.
3.The underlined word “veteran” in the passage means “ ”
A.polite B.humorous C.young D.experienced
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.To tell people to make changes in their lives.
B.To encourage people to start their volunteering.
C.How to make great achievements in volunteering.
D.How to keep on volunteering whatever happened.
