　　There are some places in the world where great cities once stood. There were gardens, trees and grass. But now these cities have gone and the places are like deserts. Scientists began to study this land to find out what happened. Many of them believed the land died when the trees were cut down.

　　Almost everyone knows the meanings of Mr , Mrs , and Miss. Mr. is used (用于) before the names of men. Mrs is for married (已婚的) women and Miss is for single (单身的) women. But what is Ms ?

　　For some time, businessmen(商人)in the United States have used Ms before a woman's name when they do not know whether the woman is married or not .
