Question

【題目】 In the US, people are celebrating Arbor Day today, the last Friday in April. This holiday encourages(鼓勵(lì)) people to plant and care for trees.

Not just the US thinks trees are important, other countries, such as Korea and South Africa, celebrate national tree days for a week! And India has a national planting(植樹) festival every July.

Why do so many countries think trees and plants so important? What’s so important about trees? Trees make oxygen(氧氣), which we need to live. Tree leaves also clean the air keeping us healthier. Trees also help stop dangerous and slides(滑坡) and they can even help stop water loss.

Trees are very important for city life, too. For example, if there are many trees in a place, there are fewer crimes(罪犯). And living near “green spaces”(parks with trees and plants), there will be fewer sick children.

Finally, people believe that spending time with trees in nature can help to relax and also make the stress lower. Some even call this “forest showing”. The time with green trees may even improve one’s immune system(免疫系統(tǒng)) and make our body stronger.

So maybe you should put your arms around a tree today — or at least sit quietly under one!
