Amazing Ancient Forests Around the World
A visit to one of these long-lived woodlands is an excellent experience.Here’s where to see some of the oldest forests on Earth.
The Takayna/Tarkine Forest,Australia
Tasmania’s Takayna/Tarkine Forest gives an experience of what life on Earth looked like 300 million years ago.This rainforest in Australia is home to the second oldest living tree species on the planet:the amazing 3,000-year-old Huon pines.To explore this fantastic area blanketed with trees,waterfalls,rivers,caves,hills and moorlands,book a tour with Tarkine Trails.
The Araucaria Forest,Chile
The Chilean pine tree that spans(横跨) the country’s Lake District is thought to have developed its strange paintbrush shape to defend against dinosaurs during the Jurassic period.However,the forest is most attractive set against the backdrop of surprisingly blue lakes and snowcapped volcanoes in Conguillio National Park.For those who want to take their time,campsites are available within the park and currently taking reservations(预定).
The Yakushima Forest,Japan
This forest was considered so beautiful by Japan’s 17th-century royalty(王室) that the landscape was recreated in a garden on the mainland,and in 1993,the Yakushima Forest was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site.Once on the Yakushima Island,there is a range of accommodation options,including the expensive Sankara Hotel & Spa(from $750/night).
The Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest,California
The Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest is home to some of the oldest living trees on Earth.The most ancient among the protected forest’s bristlecone pines—which are characterized by their unusual-looking twisted forms—is Methuselah,a tree estimated to be 4,841 years old.Grandview Campground($5 per night,first come first serve) is the closest to the Bristlecone Pine Forest.

One cold autumn afternoon,in a forest outside the tiny village of Hümmel,I went for a walk with the German forester Peter Wohlleben.
Wohlleben had been managing the forest for almost three decades,and he had cared for it with unusual gentleness.Each tree is cut individually and removed using horses,rather than heavy machinery,to avoid damaging underground networks of roots and fungi that allow trees to exchange resources and chemical signals.He has created additional income for the forest by leading tours and teaching courses,etc.He has long insisted that people around the world could and should manage their forests likewise.Until a few years ago,virtually no one was listening.
To make his views and his know-how widely known,Wohlleben began writing books.However,his first fifteen reached a modest audience.The turning point came in 2015 with his sixteenth book,The Hidden Life of Trees.Inspired by the walking tours like the one that Wohlleben was leading me on,he shifted the tone in this book—from technical writing to a warm,story-like style.He said,“The people I guided through the forest—they were hard trainers.When I talked in a way that wasn’t interesting,they would begin talking with each other.” So he adopted a cheerful and friendly tone—like a kind uncle telling fairy tales,full of warmth and a sense of wonder.And it struck a chord: The Hidden Life of Trees has sold more than a million copies in Germany alone,and more than three million worldwide.
Near the end of our walk,Wohlleben showed me a C-shaped stump (树桩).It had been cut down at least fifty years ago,and yet,somehow,it was still alive.The tree’s roots,many of which grew above the soil,were visibly connected to a nearby tree.To Wohlleben,this was proof of the remarkable mutuality of trees—that they will continue caring for nearby trees even after their death.
4.Why does Wohlleben use horses to remove trees?
A.To get around easily.
B.To keep the old tradition alive.
C.To reduce equipment costs.
D.To protect underground roots and fungi.
5.What makes The Hidden Life of Trees more popular than Wohlleben’s earlier books?
A.It is well advertised.
B.It is easy and fun to read.
C.It offers scientific knowledge.
D.It explores human-nature bond.
6.Which can best replace the underlined “mutuality”?
A.Adaptation. B.Growth.
C.Connection. D.Lifespan.
7.What might be a suitable title?
A.The Secret Language of Trees
B.How a Book Changed Forestry
C.A Forest Walk with Wohlleben
D.Wohlleben and His Forest Message
C
Marine life(海洋生物) in Florida Keys is negatively influenced by two forces:human activity and climate change.The former involves fishing,tourism and diving while the latter causes a large increase in intense hurricanes.Fortunately,when the researchers of Florida Museum of Natural History started looking for sea urchins(海胆) on the ocean floor off the coast of Florida Keys in the summer of 2020,they uncovered their population had relatively been stable since the 1960s.
The researchers visited 27 sites along a 20-mile stretch of coast near Florida Keys,looking for tracks that reflected the presence of burrowing echinoids(穴居海胆类动物).“The findings that burrowing echinoids have been highly resilient(有适应力的) against climate change and environmental pollution over the last 60 years was a huge discovery for us,” said study co-author Tobias Grun.
Grun said,“However,we know little about their current distribution,population size,and health.The reason is not the lack of interest by the scientific community but lies in that fieldwork is very expensive.”
As the climate crisis progresses,it’s important to understand why some marine creatures are more resilient in bearing the impacts of a worsening environment than others.Grun said,“Evolution may be at play.Some marine animals are very opportunistic.They can tolerate a wide range of abiotic factors like pH,temperature,and salinity,to name a few.”
Grun added,“At this point,our data show that burrowing echinoids are more resilient than many other marine species and are doing comparatively well.That does not mean that we can push our luck and keep going the way we are right now.Our study provides some hope that these creatures are resilient,but much more work is needed to translate our findings into a larger scale.The reasons for their resilience are also widely unknown.”
8.Which has an effect on the marine life in Florida Keys?
A.Wildfire. B.Pollution.
C.Fishing. D.Flood.
9.What did Grun think of the findings?
A.Indifferent. B.Important.
C.Subjective. D.Outdated.
10.What was a challenge for the research according to Grun?
A.The goal. B.The staff.
C.The cost. D.The usage.
11.What does Grun tell us in the last paragraph?
A.It’s necessary to do further research.
B.It’s right to keep going the present way.
C.The reasons for sea urchins’ resilience are well known.
D.Fish are more resilient than other marine species.

Overtourism Is for Real:How Can You Help?
Travel promotes understanding,expands our minds,makes us better people,and boosts local economies and communities,but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. 1 Certainly not.The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world.Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully.Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason:they’re special.With so many online posts featuring the same places,it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out.Go somewhere only when the landscape,culture or food deeply draws you. 2
●Get creative.The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else.Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world,it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots.That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. 3 Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights?
● 4 Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour.You’ll compete with fewer tourists,save money,experience a different side of a popular place,and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege(荣幸).Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. 5 You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.
A.Visit during off-peak times.
B.So,should we stop traveling?
C.Travel for you and no one else.
D.Can overtourism be avoided then?
E.You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F.You’ll find yourself virtually alone,or close to it.
G.Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.
