In their eagerness (渴望) of making money from trees, some people have cut trees down in large numbers, only to find that without them they have lost the best friends they had. And besides, they are usually too careless to plant and look after new trees, so the forests slowly become smaller and smaller.　　This does not only mean that men will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots(根)break up soil-allowing the rain to sink in-and also bind(固定)the soil, thus preventing 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 (地表土). When all the top-soil is gone, nothing remains(剩下)but desert.(
