India and China are leading the global greening effort， a latest NASA study said on Monday. It has found that the world is a greener place than it was 20 years ago. Recent satellite data shows the greening pattern is very clear in China and India.

Data from NASA Earth satellites shows that human activities in China and India influence the greening of the planet， thanks to tree planting and agriculture. The influence comes mostly from great tree-planting programs in China and modern agriculture in both countries.

China’s great influence on the global greening mainly comes from its programs to keep and make forests larger in size. The goals of the programs are to make less land degradation （退化）， less air pollution， and less climate change.

“When the greening of the Earth was first noticed， we thought it was because of a warmer， wetter climate. Now with the satellite data， we see that humans are also playing an important part，” said Rama Nemani， research scientist at NASA and writer of the study.

“Once people realize there is a problem， they may try to deal with it. In the 1970s and 1980s in India and China， the situation about vegetation （植被） loss was severe. In the 1990s， people realize it， and today things have improved. Humans are very strong. That’s what we see in the satellite data，” added Nemani.

Land areas used to grow crops are comparable in China and India—more than 770，000 square miles—and have not changed much since the early 2000s. Yet， these areas have greatly increased both their green leaf areas and their food production.

1. What can we learn about China and India from Paragraph 2？

A. Their environments are getting worse. B. They have different greening patterns.

C. They have carried out a planting program. D. They pay attention to modern agriculture.

3. What does Nemani mean in Paragraph 4？

A. They made a mistake at first. B. NASA is powerful.

C. The climate is becoming warmer. D. The world is greener.

4. What can be the best title of the text？

A. India Has Larges of Area Crops B. Greening Patterns Are Important

C. The Earth Is Becoming Warmer and Wetter D. India and China Are Making the Earth Greener

Air pollution is one of the world’s invisible killers. It causes seven million deaths a year， making it the largest single environmental health risk. In cities， air pollution is particularly serious.

One well-established way to reduce air pollution is to plant trees， as their leaves catch and absorb harmful particulates （微粒）. But planting new trees is not always a good choice for lack of enough space. That’s why the “City Tree”， a mobile tree which removes pollution from the air， has been becoming popular in cities around the world， including Oslo， Paris， Brussels and Hong Kong.

Each City Tree is just under 4 meters tall， nearly 3 meters wide and 2.19 meters deep， acting as a chair or a bench. A screen is included for information or advertising. Berlin-based Green City Organization explains that its invention has the environmental benefit of up to 275 actual trees.

But the City Tree isn’t， in fact， a tree at all—it’s a moss culture （青苔培植）. “Moss cultures have a much larger leaf surface area than any other plant. That means we can catch more pollutants，” said Zhengliang Wu， co-founder of Green City Organization.

The huge surfaces of moss in each tree can remove dust， NO2 and O3 gases from the air. It requires very little care： solar panels （電池板） provide electricity， while rainwater is collected into a container and then sent into the soil.

To monitor the health of the moss， the City Tree has sensors which measure soil humidity （濕度）， temperature and water quality. “We also have pollution sensors inside the trees， which help monitor the local air quality and tell us how efficient the tree is，” Wu said. Its creators say that each City Tree is able to absorb around 250 grams of particulate matter a day and contributes to removing 480 tons of CO2 a year.

5. Why is the City Tree becoming popular in cities？

A. It takes up less space." " B. It is very easy to move.

C. It requires very little care. D. It can be used for advertisement.

6. What can we learn about the City Tree？

A. It is an ordinary tree growing leaves. B. It is a mobile tree offering electricity.

C. It is a mobile tree providing rainwater. D. It is a moss culture taking in pollution.

7. What does the City Tree depend on to work？

A. Soil and rainwater. B. Solar panels and sensors.

C. Temperature and humidity." D. Moss culture and management.

8. What can be the future of the City Tree according to the text？

A. Uncertain. B. Unclear. C. Promising. D. Worrying.
