课文译文：
三峡之旅
1996年8月，一位年轻的美国英语教师彼得﹒赫斯特，来到长江之滨的涪陵。他和另一位同时将在那里的一所教师进修学院任教两年。整个城里只有他们两名外国人。元月底，第一学期结束了，他们有四周的春节假期，可以随处旅游。他们决定顺流而下。
我们打算买到“江油号”的船票。同事们说：“你们不要坐那种船。它们太拥挤，主要是用来运货的。乘客多是沿江做生意的人。那些船不停靠庙宇，也不会有别的外国游人乘坐。” 我觉得听起来还不错。我们出示护照后便上了船。
在一个美丽的午后，我们离开码头。当我们顺流而下穿过山区的时候，阳光很灿烂。男人们乘坐着江边的竹筏，运煤的小船来来往往。太阳落山时，我们的船在丰都靠岸。我们目睹太阳在白塔后西沉，美丽极了。
穿过长江第一峡-瞿塘峡时，我们正在睡梦中。江水在两英里高的峰峦间奔流，峡谷狭窄处只有350英尺。我朋友说：“至少我们能看见另外两个峡谷。”
传到巫山时，我们绕道溯游大宁河，观赏了几处小峡谷。第二天，我们经过了长江的大峡谷。在一个美丽的上午轮船驶过巫峡。我们还经过了湘江，那是公元前三世纪一位诗人-屈原的家乡。长江有太多的历史。块块巨石形象各异，条条支流都流淌着传说，座座小山承载着过往。
穿过长江第三峡-西陵峡后，轮船驶入大坝建设处的江面。所有的乘客都上了甲板，大家拍照片，对着工地指指点点，但不可以下船。五星红旗在风中飘扬着。远山上写着20英尺大的汉字 “建造三峡大坝，开发长江资源”。

trees are useful to man in three important ways: they give him wood and other useful things, they give him cool places, and they help to stop drought and flood.
unluckily, in many parts of the world, man has not found that the third of these points is the most important. man wants to make money from trees, so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. and also, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. so the forests slowly disappear.
this does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. the results are even worse: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil-make the rain in-and also bind the soil, thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. when all the top-soil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert.

b.the function of tree wood
c.how do people do with trees?
d.the usage of tree roots
