Migrating（迁移的）Wild Geese

    In autumn，the wild geese migrate to a warmer place. They fly in a V formation（队形）. Why do they fly like this？Here is the story of the migrating wild geese. If they fly in a V formation，the whole flock（整个群）will increase the flight efficiency（提升飞行效率） by 71% compared（对比）to just one bird flying alone.

    They share the same direction and work as a team so they get to the destination（目的地） quicker and easier. When a wild goose leaves the formation，it will feel the resistance （阻力）of the air and the difficulties of flying alone. Then，it quickly comes back to the formation to be protected by the flock's power（能量）in front of it. If the leader wild goose gets tired of flying，it will go to the end of the V formation while another one takes the lead. This is how they share the leadership and have respect for everyone in the team. The wild geese flying at the back of a V formation quack（嘎嘎叫）to encourage the ones in the front so that they keep the same speed. The progress（进步，进展）is greater by encouraging each other. If a goose gets sick，it must leave the formation，other wild geese leave the formation too，and they fly with it to help it out and protect it. Or they stay with it until it dies or it is able to fly again. They just make another V formation. So they stay beside each other in times of difficulties and great challenges（挑战）.

    Let's learn from this teamwork story of the wild geese. If we know the spirit（精神）of teamwork，if we understand the real value（价值）of friendship，if we are aware（意识到） of the feeling of sharing，life will be easier and full of success.

四、阅读回答问题

The Billion (十亿) Tree Campaign (运动) started on 8 November 2006 by The United Nations Environment Programme to help care for the Earth by planting trees all over the world. It encourages people to plant trees all year long. It is the biggest tree planting activity in the history of the world. Over a billion trees have been planted in just the first five months of 2007!

Trees are important. Without trees we humans would not live on the earth. Trees give us so much! The air we breathe is improved (改善) by the trees. Some great medicine is from tree bark, leaves, twigs, and roots; we use wood to build houses; we make food from the apple, pear, banana and orange trees and so on.

①Trees Give Us Oxygen (氧气)

We could not live as we do if there were no trees. A big tree gives us as much oxygen in a season as 10 people need in a year. The forest can also be a huge filter (过滤器) that cleans the air we breathe.

②Trees slow Water Rum of and Reduce (减少) Noise

Flood (洪水) can be reduced by a forest Or by planting tee. A full-grown tree can hold back more than 1,000 gallons of water. So the groundwater can be stored (存储). Trees can also stop noise as stone walls. When you live near the freeway or the airport, the trees around your house can reduce most of noises from freeways and airports.

③Trees Clean the Soil (土壤), Water and the Air

Trees can either store (储存) harmful (有害的) things or change the pollutant (污染物) into less harmful forms. They can keep harmful things from running into the river. Trees can clean the

air by taking in harmful things and they can lower the temperature around.

There are even more benefits (好处) of planting trees. So “When we plant trees, we plant the seeds of peace (和平的种子) and seeds of hope.” We need YOU to join us!
