Do you know something about tree rings(年轮)? Do you know they can tell us what the weather was like, sometimes even hundreds of years ago? 1._ In fact, trees can live for hundreds and sometimes even thousands of years.
A tree will grow well in a climate with lots of sunshine and rainfall. And little sunshine or rainfall will limit(限制) the growth of a tree. 2._ For example, to find out the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the eleventh ring, then we're sure that it was sunny and rainy most of that year. 3._
Tree rings are important not only for studying the history of weather but also for studying the history of men. 4._ But now you can find only sand there—no trees and no people. What happened?
5._ He found that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees to make fires and buildings. As all the trees had gone, the people there had to move.
