The first examination of the Amazon's trees found that as many as half the species may be threatened with extinction(灭绝)or heading that way because of massive deforestation(滥伐森林).Among the more than 5,000 tree species in deep trouble are the ones that produce Brazil nuts and mahogany(红木).
An international team of 158 scientists found that depending on the degree to which deforestation comes under control in the next 35 years,between 36 and 57 percent of the16,000 tree species in the tropical rainforest area would be considered threatened.Their study is published in Science Advances.
“The range rests on whether cutting down the region's forest continues at the rate of the late 20th and early 21 st centuries or slowing down to lesser levels proposed in 2006,”study authors said.“If deforestation continues at the same pace,nearly 8,700 types of trees are in danger,but the number of species at risk could be as low as 5,500 if nations are able to cut back as planned,”said study coauthor Nigel Pitman from Chicago.
“We've never had a good idea of how many species arethreatened in the Amazon,”Pitman said.“Now with this study,we have an estimate(估计).”“About 15 years ago,the Amazon was losing about 11,600 square miles of forest a year,”said Tim Killeen,a scientist from Bolivia.“But thatfigure has dropped to about 3,800 square miles a year,”he said.
Killeen said the trees that produce Brazil nuts are seriously under threat,while mahogany is commercially extinct throughout the Amazon.He said that means there's no more industry harvesting the wood,but some trees exist.Duke University ecologist Stuart Pimm,who was not part of the study,praised the work as sensible and important.

The other day an email arrived in my inbox(收件箱)with the subject line“Buy one,get one 50 percent off all clothes.Two days only!”I get these sales emails from the stores almost weekly,and even though I know exactly what the sellers are doing(trying to get me to spend money I wasn't planning to spend),I usually end up buying,anyway.So I have to become a smarter,better shopper.
The other week it took me three hours to decide which local hotel to book for an overnight stay.There were just so many choices;what if I picked a wrong one and my husbandand I ended up having a terrible time?This quandary(困惑)illustrates one of the biggest problems shoppers facing these days.Alexander says,“It takes a lot of effort just to consider all the choices.”He points out you don't have to consider all the choices.“You always have to give up one thing for another.Do you prefer better quality or lower price in health care?About buying a car,do you prefer performance or comfort?If you figure out what's more important to you,you can keep yourself from choosing in a sea of too many choices.”
Making a shopping list before hitting a store isn't just about remembering necessary things;it can also help you give up unwanted messages.If you make a good action plan(such as a shopping list),you're more likely to do what you actually set out to do.Goldsmith points out that a shopping list can help a lot.A shopping list can keep your goal of shopping wisely in your mind.
