A few years ag, I spared a cuple f hurs frm busy academic learning t wrk in a vide stre n a daily basis. There was smething in the elderly wman's behavir that caught my eye. Althugh slw and unsure f step, the wman mved carefully, and there was n hesitatin（犹豫） in her gestures. And she had a jb t d.
The elderly wman had walked int the stre alng with a yunger wman wh guessed was her daughter. The daughter was displaying a serius case f impatience, checking her watch every few secnds. The lder wman detached frm the yunger ne and began t tick thrugh the DVDs n the nearest shelf. After the slightest hesitatin, I walked ver and asked if I culd help her find smething. The wman smiled up at me and shwed me a title scrawled n a crumpled （皱巴巴的） piece f paper. The title was a bit difficult t understand. Clearly a persn lking fr it knew a little abut mvies, abut quality.
Rather than rushing ff t lcate the DVD fr the wman, I asked her t walk with me s I culd shw her where she culd find it. Smething abut her deliberate mvements reminded me f my wn mther, wh died last Christmas. As we walked alng the back f the stre, I intrduced its flr plan. The wman seemed glad f the unrushed cmpany and casual cnversatin. We fund the mvie, and I cmplimented （称赞） her n her chice. Then, reluctantly（不情愿地）， I had t return the elderly wman t her keeper, wh was still tapping her ft at the frnt f the stre.
I walked ver t the yunger wman. "Is that yur mm?" I asked. She rlled her eyes and said, "Yeah." There was annyance in her reply, half sigh and half cmplaint（抱怨）. Still watching the mther, I said, " Mind sme advice?" "Sure," said the daughter. I smiled t shw her I wasn't criticizing. I answered her curius expressin by saying, "When she's gne, it's the little mments that will cme back t yu. Mments like this. I used t let it slip. I knw."

Frests give us shade, quiet and ne f the harder challenges in the fight against climate change. Even as we humans rely n frests t take in a gd share f the carbn dixide we prduce, we are threatening their ability t d s. The climate change we are quickening culd ne day leave us with frests that emit（排放） mre carbn than they absrb.
Thankfully, there is a way ut f this trap — but it invlves keeping a subtle balance. Helping frests flurish（繁荣） as valuable " carbn sinks" lng int the future may require reducing their capacity（能力） t absrb carbn nw. Califrnia is leading the way, as it des n s many climate effrts, in wrking ut the details.
The state's prpsed Frest Carbn Plan aims t duble effrts t thin ut yung trees and clear brush in parts f the frest. This temprarily lwers carbn-carrying capacity. But the remaining trees draw a greater share f the available misture（水分）， s they grw and thrive, restring the frest's capacity t pull carbn frm the air. Healthy trees are als better able t be free frm insects. The landscape is rendered （致使） less easily burnable. The need fr such planning is increasingly urgent. Already, since 2010, drught and insects have killed ver 100 millin trees in Califrnia, mst f them in 2016 alne, and wildfires have burned hundreds f thusands f acres.
Califrnia plans t treat 35, 000 acres f frest a year by 2020, and 60,000 by 2030 — financed frm the prceeds f the state's emissins-permit auctins （拍卖）. That's nly a small share f the ttal land area that culd benefit, abut half a millin acres in all, s it will be vital t priritize （优先考虑） areas at greatest risk f fire r drught.
State gvernments are well accustmed t managing frests, but traditinally they've fcused n wildlife, watersheds（分水岭） and pprtunities fr recreatin. Only recently have they cme t see the vital part frests will have t play in string carbn. Califrnia's plan, which is expected t be finalized by the gvernr next year, shuld serve as a mdel.
8. What des the authr imply in paragraph 1?
A. Glbal climate change may get ut f cntrl.
B. Frests may becme a ptential threat.
C. Extreme weather cnditins may arise.
D. Peple may misunderstand glbal warming.
9. What des the Califrnia's Frest Carbn Plan intend t d?
A. T expand the frest planting area.
B. T reduce the density（密度） f sme f its frests.
C. T find mre effective ways t kill insects.
D. T restre its frests quickly after wildfires.
10. What is vital t Califrnia's plan accrding t Paragraph 4?
A. T treat the areas in serius danger first.
B. T carry it ut befre the year f 2020.
C. T perfect the emissins-permit auctins.
D. T btain enugh financial supprt.
11. Accrding t the authr, Califrnia's Plan is ______.
A. impractical B. wrthless C. prmising D. appealing
D
Buying furniture is easier than ever. Yu can even rder a new table and chairs nline withut ever leaving hme. But did yu ever think abut hw furniture is made? The prcess begins with trees but nw researchers have fund a better way: grwing it in a lab instead f a frest. Instead f cutting dwn trees and adding t defrestatin（砍伐森林）， Velasquez-Garcia said, "If yu want a table, then yu shuld just grw a table."
The research grup fund a way t actually grw plant tissue（组织） — wd and fiber — in a lab that is similar t the way cultured meat is grwn. While there is still a lng way t actually grw a table, the team was able t grw structures frm cells frm zinnia leaves.
Making furniture and ther items frm bimaterials（生物材料） culd eliminate cutting dwn trees in frests. "The way we get these materials hasn't changed in centuries and is very inefficient," said Velasquez-Garcia. "This is a real chance t avid all that inefficiency."
There are ther benefits t using lab wd t. Lab grwn wd can be handled t take n any shape — like 3D printing — s it may be pssible t build a table withut glue r screwing parts tgether.
Beckwith, a mechanical engineering PhD student, was inspired by a visit t a farm t try t make land-use mre efficient and envirnmentally sund. "That gt me thinking: Can we be mre strategic abut what we're getting ut f ur prcess? Can we get mre utputs fr ur inputs?" she tld MIT News. "I wanted t find a mre efficient way t use land and resurces s that we culd let mre farmlands remain wild, r t remain lwer prductin but allw fr greater bidiversity（生物多样性）."
Tday, the tw largest uses f trees are t make wd prducts and paper. When new bimaterials becme readily available （可用的）， frests will lse their ecnmic value and will be preserved fr their envirnmental, health, and recreatinal value. These researchers, likeVelasquez-Garcia, are speaking fr the trees.
12. What des the authr think f grwing furniture accrding t paragraph 1?
A. It might have a bright future. B. It'll cut dwn daily expense.
C. It's as imprtant as making furniture. D. It turns ut t be cnvenient.
13. What des the underlined wrd "eliminate" in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Risk. B. Fancy. C. Remve. D. Delay.
14. What is the purpse f Beckwith's grwing furniture?
A. T make large prfits. B. T keep bidiversity.
C. T increase prductin. D. T use wild resurces.
15. What's the key t prtecting frests?
A. Wide use f new bimaterials. B. Less use f wd prducts and paper.
C. Making effective frest laws. D. Caring mre fr the envirnment.
