―I was rich, if not in money, in sunny hours and summer days.‖ – Henry David Thoreau. When Thoreau wrote that line, he was thinking of the Walden. Pond he knew as a boy.

Woodchoppers(伐木者) and the Iron Horse had not yet greatly damaged the beauty of its setting. A boy could go to the pond and lie on his back against the seat of a boat, lazily drifting from shore to shore while the loons dived and the swallows dipped around him. Thoreau loved to recall such sunny hours and summer days‖ when idleness was the most attractive and productive business.‖

I too was a boy in love with a pond, rich in sunny hours and summer days. Sun and summer are still what the always were, but the boy and the pond changed. The boy, who is now a man, no longer finds much time for idle drifting. The pond has been annexed by a great city. The swamps (沼泽地)where herons once hunted are now drained and filled with horses. The bay where water lilies（睡莲） quietly floated is now a harbor for motor boats. In short, everything that the boy loved no longer exists—except in the man’s memory of it.

Some people insist that only today and tomorrow matter. But how much poorer we would be if we really lived by that rule! So much of what we do today is frivolous and futile and soon forgotten. So much of what we hope to do tomorrow never happens.

The past is the bank in which we store our most valuable possession: the memories that give meaning and depth to our lives.

Those who truly treasure the past will not regret the passing of the good old days, because days protected in memory are never lost. Death itself is powerless to still a remembered voice or erase a remembered smile. And for one boy who is now a man, there is a pond which neither time nor tide can change, where he can still spend a quiet hour in the sun.

Real Christmas trees on farms would not exist if people stopped buying them. Just one acre of growing Christmas trees produces the daily oxygen requirements for at least eighteen people.

Christmas tree farms protect water supplies, stabilize soil, and help protect wildlife. The forests of North America spread over roughly the same area of land as they did a century ago and in the past ten years have in fact expanded by almost ten million acres. Furthermore, to guarantee a steady supply, one to three new seedlings are planted for every tree they harvest.

With global warming being such a major concern, developing woodlands is an essential part of the fight. While potted trees are a better alternative than artificial (人工的), they require a certain amount of care. But it would be a better choice than a plastic tree which will remain under the ground for centuries once it's discarded. On average, it takes a Christmas tree five to sixteen years to become mature. Before the Christmas tree industry appeared, people used to cut trees from forests, sometimes unlawfully, and usually with no concern for the possible harm to the forest. But today, Christmas tree growers plant as many as fifty million trees per year.

Several districts have recycling programs that turn Christmas trees into mulch（覆盖物). For a small fee, the Boy Scouts will deal with it. Fake Christmas trees can’t be recycled, while real Christmas trees support life. We shouldn't add more pollution to our earth.

If you know a needy family in need of a Christmas tree, buy them a real one. Give a live Christmas tree to someone this Christmas and what you do will help protect the environment.

5. The underlined word \ A. planted B. moved C. transported D. deserted 6. According to the passage, real Christmas trees_____________ A. can't be recycled B. need much care C. will stay under the ground D. make the global warming worse .

8. The purpose of the passage is to call on people to_______________ A. plant real Christmas trees B. stop cutting down Christmas trees C. stop buying fake Christmas trees D. deal with plastic Christmas trees
