The Amazon Rainforest is known 【小题1】 “the lungs of the planet”. However, it now releases more carbon dioxide than it absorbs. This is the conclusion of a study recently 【小题2】 (publish) in the journal Nature. For the study, scientists took 590 【小题3】 (flight) over the Amazon.

So what has gone wrong? There are 【小题4】 (clear) fewer trees taking in carbon dioxide. More than 17 percent of the trees in the Amazon have disappeared since the 1970s. Meanwhile, farmers get rid of the trees by 【小题5】 (burn) them. Huge amounts of carbon monoxide(一氧化碳) are released into the air in the process.

The really worrying thing, however, is the southeastern part of the Amazon. This is because the logging(伐木作业) has disturbed the balance of nature. Fewer trees means 【小题6】 (little) moisture (水分) in the air, 【小题7】 makes the air drier. The heat causes forest fires to spread more easily. As a result, more trees are killed.

For the Amazon to become “the lungs of the planet” again, we first need to end 【小题8】 forest fires. It sounds possible but it won’t be easy. Since 2018, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro 【小题9】 (encourage) people to develop land in the Amazon. If he doesn’t change 【小题10】 (he) mind, scientists say, large parts of the rainforest could be turned into savannahs (稀树草原) by 2026.

Yellow River Valley was the birthplace of ancient Chinese civilization, and for that reason is often called “Mother River.” The valley 【小题1】 (surround) the principal river of northern China and is at the center of thousands of years of Chinese history. At over 5, 400 kilometers (3, 300 miles) long, the Huang He is China’ s second 【小题2】 ( long) river. It has a drainage(排水) basin of around 750, 000 square 【小题3】 (kilometre), the third largest basin area in China. It is called the Yellow River because its waters carry earth, 【小题4】 gives the river its yellow-brown color, and when 【小题5】 river overflows, it leaves a yellow residue(残留) behind. While the river helps create fertile land that 【小题6】 (suit) for farming, during certain times of the year the Huang He   【小题7】 (frequent) overflows. The water damages housing and crops across the North China Plain, an important 【小题8】 (agriculture) region. Because of this, the Huang He is also nicknamed “China’s Sorrow.” For thousands of years, the Chinese have carried out major public works projects 【小题9】 (control) the water from the Huang He. Despite the possibility of flooding, the Huang He Valley basin is home 【小题10】 a huge population, and many of China’ s oldest cities are situated along the river. The valley becomes the center of Chinese culture, society, and learning.
