     He said， "The room is too small，so we could only hang things on the walls．" The landlord didn't listen to him and turned around up to the floor．She began looking around her familiar room．Four years ago，she became his bride here．There were several nails on the wall，on which hung his clothes yesterday．After he lived in the room，he removed all the clothes boxes and bought her a desk in the spared room because he knew she loved writing and drawing．

• 3．The world is a greener place than it was 20 years ago．Recent NASA satellites data（2000-2017）have shown that human activities in China and India dominate this greening of the planet，thanks to ambitious tree-planting programmes in China and intensive agriculture in both countries．
     The researchers from Boston University found that global green leaf area has increased by 5 percent in the new century，an area equal to all of the Amazon rainforest．China alone accounts for 25% of the global net increase in leaf area with only 6.6% of global vegetated area．China's contribution comes in large part from its programmes to conserve and expand forests，taking up about 42 percent of the greening．The greening from farmlands in China is about 32%，but that in India is about 82%．
     Rama Nemani，a research scientist at NASA's Ames Research Centre and a co-author of the study said， "When the greening of the Earth was first observed，we thought it was due to a warmer，wetter climate and fertilization from the added carbon dioxide in the atmosphere．But with data from NASA satellites，scientists realized that humans are also contributing，which was all against our expectations．"
     Nemani sees a positive message in the new findings． "Once people realize there is a problem，they tend to fix it，" he said． "In the 1970s and 1980s in India and China，the situation around vegetation loss was not good．In the 1990s，people realized it，and today things have improved．Humans are incredibly resilient．That is what we see in the satellite data．"
     However，the researchers rang bells as well．They said that the gain in global greenness did not necessarily make up for the loss of natural vegetation in regions like Brazil and Indonesia．
  
  （1）What is the second paragraph mainly about？

  
  A．The decreasing size of the Amazon rainforest．
  B．China's bigger contribution to global greening．
  C．Total global green leaf area in the new century．
  D．China's programmes to conserve and expand forests．
  （2）What surprised scientists regarding global greening？

  
  A．Human activities．
  B．Suitable for analyzing data．
  C．A warmer and wetter climate．
  D．Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere．
  （3）What does the underlined word "resilient" probably mean？

  
  A．Good at making programmes．
  B．Suitable for analyzing data．
  C．Able to make corrections．
  D．Active in planting trees．
  （4）What does the last paragraph imply？

  
  A．It is urgent to protect global natural resources．
  B．Much remains to be done for global greenness．
  C．Brazil and Indonesia lose most of their vegetation．
  D．Global greenness needs all countries to work together．
