23、There are patches of green taking root in European cities. It is part of a popular movement that started in Asia to clean the air, cool down temperatures, and improve the quality of life of city residents.
This movement began in India with Indian eco- entrepreneur Shubhendu Sharma who was inspired by the tiny forests in Japan created by Akira Miyawak, a botanist who saw this as a solution to regenerate the land. In 2014, Sharma gave a Ted Talk about how valuable the mini ecosystems he was planting across India are. Sharma planted them anywhere he could, near schools, factories, and houses. These mini ecosystems grow ten times faster than conventional forests and are considerably more biodiverse.
Now, Europeans are following his example and tiny forests are springing up across the continent. But first, Europeans had to adapt his methods to the different soil conditions, species and climate, while taking into account the effects of climate change. “Species growing here are more likely to do well and be able to adapt to climate change,” said Belgian biologist Nicolas. “So, I contacted scholars and tree nurseries to identify suitable native tree species and locally sourced materials to improve the soil.”
The first tiny forest was planted in the UK in 2020 in a programme run by ecologist Victor Beumer for Earth-watch. He said that the organization plans to collect data about biodiversity and carbon sequestration (碳封存) so that the environmental influence of the forests can be tracked in the long term. There are 17 of these forests now and 21 will be planted by 2022. These mini forests are seen as an asset that can help residents weather heat waves, improve water retention, remove carbon from the air, and the best benefit.
While these European forests are still relatively young and the full impact of them on the environment is still unknown, one thing is a given. Bringing more nature into cities will have a positive impact on the life of urban residents. Being in nature is good for your health, and wellbeing.

A．He likes giving a talk about tiny forests.
B．He started the tiny forest movement in Europe.

A．He used native species to grow small forests.
B．It’s difficult to carry on the movement in Belgium.
C．He chose some natural fertilizers to improve the soil.
D．He has improved Sharma’s methods of growing forests.
【3】What can we infer about these European forests from the text?
A．They have been taken seriously by the governments.
B．They have benefited local residents physically and mentally.
C．Their influence on the environment arouses the public’s curiosity.
D．The further studies on their connection with nature are to be carried out.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for this text?
A．Europeans Have Struggled to Improve Air Quality
B．Tiny Forests Become More Diverse in Europe
C．Tiny Forests Are Dotting European Countries

24、Dear Amy,
I am a 30-year-old woman with no friends. I have always been shy and a bit of lonely.
In the first couple of years after graduation I kept in touch with most of my friends but gradually they scattered(分散) around the country. My best friend Lily and I were roommates for a while but we had a fight. We both admitted mistakes but refused to apologize. After that she grew very close to the new roommate she got after I moved out. Then she moved across the country and that just made it harder to repair our friendship.
About three years ago I was seriously injured in an accident. After that I got chronic(慢性的) pain. I had to change my job as a result. I get along well with the colleagues (同事) at my new job but no friendships really form, mostly because of large age differences. And at the same time, the friends from my old job gradually gave me up. They said that I never gave them enough attention.
I live in a small town with very little to do. The entire social place is only made up of bars, bars and more bars. It’s really not my thing. I can’t drink because of the medicine I take, and it’s really no fun to go to a bar and be the only person there who doesn’t drink.
I don’t think I’m a difficult person. I’m kind, patient, and a good listener. People seem to like me, but no one seems to want to be friends with me. What should I do?
Yours,
Erica
