Trees are useful to man in three very important ways. They provide him with wood and other 1 ; they give him shade; they help to prevent drought(干旱)and 2.
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important.
Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire, but,3its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to4,the home country found itself faced by floods and starvation.
Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for5to persuade the villager to see this. The villager wants wood to cook his food with ; and he can earn money by making charcoal or selling wood to the townsman. He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can6the people, the forests will slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that the villagers’ sons and grandsons have7trees. The results are even more serious; for where there are trees, their roots break the soil up—allowing the rain to sink in—and also bind(结合)the soil, thus preventing its8washed away easily, but where there are no trees ,the rain falls on hard ground and carrying9with it the rich top soil, in which crops10so well. With all the topsoil gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.

I became a gardener when I was twelve. My early1of gardening may not have originated from my love for nature. It was to2my parents.
At that time, we had a big yard in which a beautiful maple tree stood. But my mother often looked with3at this work of natural art. Those golden leaves seemed like tons of rubbish to her, “something else to4!” Seeing the neighbors busy with gardening, my father ever thought it a waste of time.
At that age, I always did something5to whatever my parents did! If gardening were something they found6, I would plant a garden!
I planted some lily(百合花)seeds in the yard. But they failed to7.I continued to plant sunflower seeds and roses. Wild8joy, I found the first rose bloom(开花).One by one, the flowers bloomed their heads off.9, I was touched by this land of wonder.
10, my parents showed no interest in my garden. My father even11at me because he found it was12to move around my garden to the driveway. To my mother’s13, I put in her vase my real roses which, in her eyes, were simply weeds14flowers.
Regardless of their15,I kept on planting my garden and16to enjoy the pleasure of gardening. Plants make such good companions: they breathe, they bloom, they17to care and love.
It has been many years since I made my first garden out of my desire to18my parents. Today I become known as Mrs. Greenthumbs, teaching gardening and hosting a gardening show which makes my parents feel very19. And now I could say it is my affection for20that makes me a real gardener.
