5,Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products, they give him shade, and they help to prevent drought and floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had.
Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.
Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade the villager to see this. The villager wants wood to cook his food with, and he can earn money by making charcoal(木炭) or selling wood to the townsman（城市居民）. He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after trees. So unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that the villager’s sons and grandsons have
fewer trees. The results are even more serious. For where there are trees their roots break the soil up-allowing the rain to sink in and also hold the soil, thus preventing it being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the soil becomes hard and poor. The rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, causing floods and carrying away with it the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but a worthless desert.

and more 16 and teachers have noticed another kind of pollution, which comes from the printed papers 17 on streets.

Homework is left 25 and daily games lost. These sellers stand about on streets selling their papers well. The writers, publishers and printers, 26 they are, we never know, are 27 their silent money.
The sheep-skinned wolf’s story seems to have been forgotten once again. Why not 28 this kind of thing? Yes, both teachers and parents have asked each other for more strict control of the young readers. 29 , the more you want to forbid it, the more they want to have a look at it. 30 you may even find several children, driven by their curious natures, 31 one patched paper, which has traveled from hand to hand.
It really does 32 to our society. It has already formed a sort of moral pollution. The 33 teachers and parents need more powerful support in their protection of the young generation.
