Some of you may play Ant Forest. It is a game on Alipay(支付宝). Users collect “energy” to make their "trees” grow. When the “energy” reaches a certain level, some organizations(组织) and companies will plant a real tree in a desert(沙漠) area of China. And now it seems that our country has made the world a greener place for people all over the world.

A study by NASA(美国航空航天局) in February showed that China and India have made the Earth greener over the past two years. The study has found that since 2000 the Earth's green leaf area has increased(增加) by over 5 million square kilometers. That's the same size as the total area of the Amazon(亚马逊) rainforest. It is mostly the result of big tree-planting programs in China and intensive agriculture(集约化农业) in both countries, according to NASA.

“China and India have only 9% of the planet's land area covered in vegetation(陆地植被面积), but they did one third of the increased greening for the whole world." Chi Chen, the study's lead author(作者) and a researcher(研究员)at Boston University, US, told CNN(美国有线电视新闻网). China was the major contributor(主要贡献者), adding 25% to this increase, while India added 6.8%.

Over the past ten years, China has done something great to green the land. In 1978, China began a national forestation project(植树造林工程). It is also known as the“Great Green Wall". The program has seen many trees planted in thirteen provinces in northern China to act as windbreaks, according to China Daily.

With China's success in dealing with forestation, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP联合国环境规划署) believes China 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," UNEP Executive Director Erik Solheim(执行主任埃里克索尔海)told Xinhua.

When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.

After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels (地道). I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.

On the fifth day a tragedy (悲剧) happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm.

My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone.

Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.

Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work.　 But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.

Giving up, I say, is not a good choice.

Bitwalking is an invention by a small company in London. To make people walk more, this new app on the mobile phone is paying people, which is based on(在…基础上)their daily walking steps.

With this app, walkers can earn one "Bitwalking dollar" for about 1000 steps (about 8 kilometers). Three bitwalking dollars can be earned by one person per day at most. The money people earned can be spent on online shopping sites(地点)or exchanged for cash(现金).

One idea behind the app is to make people healthier. But the designers also have another goal: to improve people's lives. In poor countries, people have to walk far to work, or to school, or simply to collect water. Workers in the countryside earn less than one dollar a day. By walking around with the Bitwalking app, they could earn three times more.

The company has also set up Bitwalking centers in some poor areas. At the centers, local people will learn how to use the Bitwalking dollars or trade(交易)them for cash. Bitwalking is really helping to change lives.

1.How many Bitwalking dollars can one people get at most every day?

2.What is the goal of Bitwalking?

3.Do you think we middle school students can use this app? Why?
