Do trees have memories? This may seem like a strange question, but trees can actually tell us things about the past. When a tree is cut down, you can see something special inside: rings. These rings are the memories of trees.1. ___
Every year the tree grows, there is a new ring. 2. ___ They also study tree rings to learn about the climate and the environment. Tree rings are a record of the climate. Some rings are quite wide. This is a good sign as it means the tree grew well and was healthy. This happens when the tree gets enough sun and rain. 3. ___ Thanks to this, scientists can look at the tree ring patterns to learn about climate change in a particular place.
4. ___ For example, sometimes there is a black area on a tree ring. This usually means there was a forest fire. If scientists count the rings from the black area, they can answer difficult questions, such as “When did the fire happen?” and “How common are forest fires?”
5. ___ For example, scientists can use tree ring patterns to learn the age of old buildings. Nowadays, they can even look at the chemistry of each tree ring to figure out exactly when the tree was cut down. Thanks to this new method, a team of archaeologists discovered that a Viking village in Canada was built in the year 1021 CE.
It’s amazing that trees can tell us so much, even though they cannot talk!
A.Rings can be coloured.
B.It reflects the growth speed of trees.
C.Tree rings contain lots of secrets from the forest.
D.Tree rings can also help us understand human history.

四、I’m writing to share my unforgettable experience with you.
Some students thought a good memory helped memorize numerous words, which was essential for English learning. However, others believed learning methods were more important. They said proper ways like watching English movies and reading English stories can improve English easily.
In my opinion, both memory and methods are important. Memory helps us store knowledge, while methods help us to use it effectively. Only by combining them can we truly master English.
I had a good time in the English week. What do you think about it?
