29、 59 Trees have a spectacular survival record. Over a period of more than 400 million years, they have evolved as the tallest, most massive, and longest-lived organisms ever to inhabit the Earth. Yet trees lack a means of defense that almost every animal has: trees cannot move away from destructive f

30、orces. Because they cannot move, all types of living and nonliving enemiesfire, storms, microorganisms, insects, other animals and, later, humanshave wounded them throughout their history. Trees have survived, because their evolution has made them into highly compartmented organisms. In that respect

31、 trees are radically different from animals. Fundamentally, animals heal: they preserve their life by making billions of repairs, installing new cells or rejuvenated cells in the positions of old ones. Trees cannot heal: they make no repairs. Instead, they defend themselves from the consequences of

32、injury and infection by walling off the damage. At the same time they put new cells in new positions; in effect, they grow a new tree over the old one every year. The most obvious results of the process are growth rings, which are visible on the cross section of a trunk, a root, to a branch. 59 Acco

During the Fourth of July weekend, residents woke up one morning to find that the lake had disappeared. Some people d

36、idnt believe what they were seeing. They looked again, but to their amazement they found they had been right the first time. The lake was simply no longer there. In its place was a muddy crater hollow, 30 feet deep. It was as if the lake had been a giant bathtub and someone had pulled the plug. The

37、lakes owner, Joseph Unanue, did indeed pull the plug. Thats exactly what happened. The dam that held back the water to form the lake was falling apart, so government officials ordered him to repair it. They issued him a permit to lower the water level “five feet or more.“ He did much more. Mr. Unanu

38、e found that repairs to the dam would cost $ 100,000. He didnt want to spend that much, so he opened the dam and lowered the water level until the lake was completely drained. People living above the dam ended up with no lake. People living below the dam ended up with tons of mud and lots of dead fi

39、sh. Everyone involved was angry with Mr. Unanue. Area residents believe Mr. Unanue acted out of spite hatred. They say he wanted to get back at them because the town wouldnt let him develop an amusement park on the lakeshore. When he couldnt build his park, he just went away and took his lake with h
