【題目】

Global warming is a big problem that we have to stop. One of the best things we do is to plant more trees. Trees can take in CO2 in the air and stop global warming. 【1】

The growth mainly came from China’s forest protection programs, NASA said. For example, since 1962, China has been planting trees in Saihanba, Hebei Province. It was once a desert. 【3】 Ant Forest, a feature in Alipay app, gives users points for doing eco-friendly things such as walking and going paperless in the office. Users can then use these points to water and grow their own virtual (虛擬的) trees. When the virtual trees are big enough, Ant Forest will plant real trees somewhere in the world. 【4】
