It’s March 12th. Li Li and Lin Tao are digging on a hill not far from their school. In China, people across the country plant trees 1 on this day.
The idea of planting trees was first put forward in 1911 by Sun Zhongshan, the great 2 in China’s history. He said more trees were needed as a 3 against flood(洪水) and drought. In 1915, April 5th was named as Tree Planting Day. Then, in 1979, the day was 4 to March 12th, to 5 the date on which Sun Zhongshan died.
“Everyone has heard of the Great Wall of China,” says Li Li. “But have you heard of the Green Wall of China? That’s the biggest tree planting 6 of all.” The Gobi Desert in the north of China was 7 every year. So in 1978, a tree planting project was started to 8 the Gobi spreading. The government and local farmers have been planting millions of trees to build a great green “wall” along the edge of the desert.
“Tree planting has become a tradition in China now,” says Lin Tao. “Almost everyone does it on March 12th. Many people also plant a tree on a 9 day. My parents planted a tree when I started school. And my cousin planted 10 on his wedding(婚礼) day. We do it for the environment and for ourselves.”

B [2019·河南]
Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a police officer saw a car driving along at 22 miles per hour.
He thought to himself, “This driver is just as dangerous as a 1 !” So he turned on his lights and pulled the driver over.
Getting closer to the car, he noticed that there were 2 old ladies, two in the front seat and three in the back, wide eyed and pale faced.
The driver, who knew 3 about what happened, said to him, “Officer, I don’t understand. I was doing exactly the speed limit(限制)! What seems to be the 4 ?”
“Ma’am,” the officer replied, “you weren’t speeding, but you should know that driving 5 than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers. The same as a speeder.”
“No,sir. I was doing the speed limit—exactly twenty-two miles an hour!” the old woman said in a 6 voice. The officer, almost unable to control his chuckle(窃笑), explained to her that “22” was the route(公路) 7 , not the speed limit.
A bit embarrassed(尴尬的), the woman smiled widely and thanked the officer for 8 her misunderstanding.
“But 9 I let you go, ma’am, I have to ask… Is everyone in this car OK? These women seem to be 10 badly and they haven’t made a single sound this whole time,” the officer asked.
“Oh, they’ll be all right in a minute. We just got off Route 119.”
