Every holiday season, a special tradition takes place in faraway Alaska. A kind pilot, Keim flies a small plane over frozen villages,    15    turkeys for families who can’t easily reach local stores.

Trees are really cool! They can tell us a lot about how the climate is changing.

Some trees can live for a very long time, like hundreds or even thousands of years. They just stand there and see all the changes in the weather on Earth.

When you look at a tree stump (树桩), you may find that the top of the stump has many rings. These rings are like a tree’s storybook. Each ring shows one year of the tree’s life. They can tell us how old the tree is and what the weather was like in that year.

In most areas, detailed daily weather records have only been kept for the past 100 to 150 years. But trees can help scientists learn about the climate from hundreds or thousands of years ago. That’s why trees are so important!

25．How old is the tree in the poster?
