profitable plantations(种植园) and cattle grounds,he struggled to bring the jungles of his childhood back to life.

“When I was a child,the peasants cut down the trees to make grasslands and charcoal,and the water dried up and did not come back,” he told the reporters.“I thought:‘Water is valuable,no one makes water and the population will not stop growing.What is going to happen?We are going to run out of water.’”

With only some donkeys and a small team of hired workers,Antonio Vicente set about bringing back the forest to his land.What started out as a weekend hobby soon became a permanent way of life,and Antonio recalls often spending whole days and nights in his young jungle,surrounded by rats and foxes,and eating banana sandwiches for breakfast,lunch and dinner.Over the last 40 years,he has planted an estimated 50,000 trees on his 31-hectare land,which now makes up a small but unique area of rainforest,and a haven for wildlife.

As the forest grew,the water returned,and Antonio says that there are now over 20 water sources on his land that were no longer there when he bought it.Then the animals started making a home there.Today,the forest is alive with the sounds of birds and insects living there,and more species are settling in every year.

“There are toucans(巨嘴鸟),all kinds of birds,squirrels,lizards,and even the boars are returning,”83-year-old Vicente says.“If you ask me who my family are,I would say all these right here,each one of these that I planted from a seed.”

Ask people in the UK what the words“Sunday roast” mean to them,and they’ll probably take you back to their grandmothers’ dining rooms—maybe with a few stories of “the greatest puddings” and “the best-ever steak”.But now the traditional Sunday roast seems to have been left back in the old days.According to the Daily

D.Balance.

Mail,just one in 50 British families sits down to this weekly meal together.

There are many reasons why the roast is becoming less popular.In the busy modern world,where breakfast is a slice of toast eaten on the way to work or school and lunch is a quick sandwich in front of the computer screen,people just don’t seem to have the time or patience to make a roast.

And Sunday was once a day when people could easily go to the kitchen to

cook.Nowadays,people are often out shopping or at the cinema until it’s far too late to start thinking about heating the oven(烤箱) up.

However,a recent article from The Telegraph warned against being carried away by our tight schedules.It would be a shame to let this fine old tradition disappear.

The Guardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only the half

of it.The Sunday roast also makes for relaxed morning activities in the kitchen,and the table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends.“For busy moms and dads,even if you can manage to turn off your mobile phone

2.which 考查非限制性定语从句。“ 2 has improved the quality of people’s lives”,作定语,修饰China’s high-tech innovation(创新),且有逗号隔开,所以“ 2 has improved the quality of people’s lives”是一个非限制性定语从句,关系词在从句中作主语,指物,所以用which。
