Today a lot of good land has gone with them, leaving only wilderness or areas with poor soil. What’s worse, too many trees are still being cut down in the USANot copying the USA’s example , China has built a new “Great Wall”across the northern part of the country. This time, it is a “Great Green Wall”of trees, millions of trees. It will stop the wind from blowing the earth and the sand away. It will stop the sand from moving southward. It has already saved a lot of land. But more “Great Green Walls”need to be built, not only in China but also all over the world.Wang Feng is a worker at Yulin in Shanxi. With many other people he works on the Great Green Wall. We visited him at his work place among the young trees and asked him about his work. “Thousands of trees must be planted every year,”he said. “The more, the better. This year alone, we’ve already planted ten thousand trees. Just look at all these small trees over there on that hill. They were planted five years ago. But now there is a young forest! In a few years’ time, we hope to afforest（绿化）those mountains, too ! “ He pointed to the high bare mountains far away.“Was it difficult to work on the Great Green Wall?” we asked him thoughtfully.“Yes. It’s hard work, but it’s very important. The only problem is that you can’t feed on trees! So we grow our own food, too. We can do it easily now, thanks to the Great Green Wall. “4.Forests are becoming more and more scarce(稀少)in the USA because ________.A. land is getting poorer and poorerB. modern agriculture and industry develop too quicklyC. no ways have been found to stop pollutionD. people there have destroyed them during these 350 years5.
