    　　A research team from Finland, the United States, China and Scotland is hopeful about the future of forests．Six experts in forestry science and economics say forest growth is on the increase in some countries and the number is rising．Professor Kauppi says the findings suggest the world may be able to reach a turning point away from deforestation(毁林)．Many experts have considered that impossible．But the researchers say it may be possible to expand the world’s forests by ten percent, or an area about the size of India, by 2050．

    　　They used information released last year by the Food and Agriculture Organization．The new study looked at the fifty nations with the most forests．The researchers used a new way to measure forest resources．They considered more than just the amount of land covered by trees．They also considered forest density, tree sizes, biomass(生物量)and the amount of atmospheric carbon captured in forests．The biomass represents all plants and tree growth．

    　　The researchers say growing stock increased in twenty-two of the fifty countries．And, in about half of the fifty countries, biomass and carbon storage also increased．The researchers say forest areas and biomass are still being lost in such important countries as Brazil and Indonesia．But they found gains in others, including the world’s most populous nations．They say China and the United States have had the greatest gains．And they say India has reached the right balance between forested and non-forested land．

    　　In percentage terms, though, the study says that forest areas have expanded fastest in the last fifteen years in Vietnam, Spain and China．And they have shrunk fastest in Nigeria and the Philippines．Professor Kauppi says the main obstacle to forest growth is fast-growing poor populations that burn wood for cooking fuel, or sell it for quick money or clear forest for crops．But a number of scientists criticized the use of information that came from governments．They said some governments didn’t keep good records about their forests, and might not tell the truth．

    What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.
    We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.
    Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”
    【小题1】 The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.

    A．bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB．pretty and handsome; ordinary-looking
    C．great and important; commonD．hopeful and helpful; careless
    【小题2】According to the context we can guess that a genius is ________ while an idiot is ________.
    A．a normal person; a funny personB．a strong person; a weak person
    C．a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded personD．a famous person; an ordinary person
    【小题3】A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.
    A．whose parents are cleverB．often thinking about difficult problems
    C．often helped by his parents and teachersD．born with a good brain and putting it into active use
    【小题4】 It is better for parents ________.
    A．to praise and encourage their children more oftenB．to be hard on their children
    C．to leave their children alone with nothing to doD．to give their children as much help as possible
    【小题5】 Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?
    A．Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.
    B．The less you use your mind the duller you may become.
    C．Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.
    D．What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.
