Here's our pick of the best day trips from Dublin. Howth village, for a taste of the Irish seaside Howth is a pretty harbor village with great coastal views. Behind the village lies Howth Castle, the site of which has been home to the St. Lawrence family since the 12th century. It's open to the public for guided tours only during summer. All other times you're free to wander around the castle grounds. Powerscourt Estate, for a taste of how Ireland's other half lived Powerscourt Estate was laid out in the 1730s by Richard Cassels, the greatest Irish architect of the Georgian era.

Strong winds howled, and terrible heat made life extremely difficult. While many people would have fled, Yuzhen chose to stay. “I would rather die planting trees than live buried by the desert，” she said, beginning a lifelong battle against the harsh environment. Yuzhen and her husband worked tirelessly to afford young trees. She slept only a few hours each night, her hands and arms covered in wounds from her hard work. After many trials, she finally found a successful method. She first planted shrubs and grasses to hold the soil. Then, she planted taller trees like poplars and pines to protect the fruit trees inside. Slowly, her efforts paid off. The barren land transformed into a green oasis. Over four decades, she has turned over 70，000 acres of desert into woodland, becoming a symbol of China's large­scale tree­planting project. Yuzhen's story also inspired an American teacher, Donald Jones. In 2015, he traveled to meet her and joined her team. He learned to plant trees, working hard under difficult conditions. He planted over 2，000 trees and formed a deep bond with Yuzhen, calling her his “sister”. Their friendship showed that environmental protection is a shared mission that connects people across borders. Yuzhen's personal effort is part of a much larger picture. China is making significant progress in protecting the environment. In the past 20 years, a quarter of the world's newly added green areas have come from China. The country has met its 2030 goals for forest growth and solar and wind power capacity years ahead of schedule. These achievements show China's leading role and consistent commitment to a sustainable future. The message from Yuzhen's story is profound: whether it is planting trees or developing clean energy, every effort shares the same vision. Green development is not just China's choice, but its contribution to the entire planet. Challenges like sandstorms know no borders. By working together, humanity can create not only oases in the desert but also a greener, cleaner world for all. (　　) 4. What made Yin Yuzhen decide to stay in the desert instead of fleeing? A. Her husband's strong encouragement. B. Her determination to fight desertification. C. The hope of making a living by planting. D. The attraction of having a home in sands. (　　) 5. Which of the following best describes Yin Yuzhen's tree­planting method? A. Relying on green oases for irrigation water. B. Planting tall trees first to block strong winds. C. Focusing on fruit trees to improve economic benefits. D. Using a layered approach to stabilize and green the land. (　　) 6. Why is Donald Jones mentioned in the passage? A. To show the global influence of Yin Yuzhen's story. B. To indicate cross­border relationships are easy to form. C. To introduce an effective tree­planting technique from the US. D. To explain the difficulty of international environmental cooperation. (　　) 7. What is the best title for the text? A. When Green Mission Crosses Borders B. A Woman's 40­Year War on the Desert C. China's Green Efforts: Growing Hope for the Globe D. The Seed of Change: Personal Pursuit of Green Life Ⅲ. 语法填空。 A volcanic eruption in Iceland has sent ash across northern Europe.
