A Letter Home

　 Jack is studying in a boarding school. Here is one of the letters he w_1_ to his parents from the school.

Dear Mum and Dad:

　 I’m afraid I have some bad news for you. I have been very naughty(淘气) and the headmaster is very a_2_ with me. She is going to write to you, You must come and t_3_ me away from here. She doesn’t want me in the school any longer.

　 The trouble started last night when I was smoking in bed. That was against the rules, of course. We shouldn’t smoke at a_4_.

　 As I was smoking, I heard footsteps c_5_ towards the room. I didn’t want a teacher to f_6_ me smoking, s_7_ I threw it away.

　 Unluckily, the cigarette(香烟) fell into the waste-paper(废纸) basket and caught fire. The headmaster phoned “119”. By the time firemen arrive, the whole school was on f_8_. Many of the students were in the hospital. The headmaster said the fire was all my fault() and you h_9_ to pay for the damage(损失). I’m very sorry about this.

　 Dear Mum and Dad, don’t w_10_ about me. None of the above is true, but I have failed my exam. I just want you to know how bad things could have been. I will work harder on my lessons form now on.

We know that　 trees are useful in our everyday life. They _1_ us many things, such as wood, oxygen, rubber, medicines and many other things. They can _2_ tell us a lot about our climate(气候). The following are the reasons(理由).

　 If you _3_ a tree, you can see that it has many rings(年轮). Most trees grow one new ring _4_ year. Because of this reason, we know _5_ a tree is. A tree over a hundred years old means that it has more than a hundred _6_. When the climate is dry or very cold, the trees do not grow very much and their rings are usually _7_. When it is wet and warm, the rings are much thicker. It the rings are suddenly very thin or suddenly very thick, this means that the _8_ changed suddenly. If we look at the rings on this tree, we can learn about the _9_ for a hundred years. We can see _10_ or climate is changing today.
