Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town. We learned about the Adopt-a-Highway Programme. This programme brings peop
8、le together to pick: up litter along the roads. We think it is a great idea for all students in our school to join the programme and adopt a highway. Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet. When a highway is adopted, only part of the highway is cared for by a group of people. The group agrees
9、 to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean. Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it. The sign is put up at the side of the road. This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road CIS? The Adopt-a-Highway Programme is a great way for peo
10、ple to help their environment look nicer. Also, the government does not have to send out many read workers. This saves money. Finally, people may harder to keep roads clean if they see people, especially teenagers like us，cleaning them up. We need helpers to care for our adopted highway. If you want
11、 to feel great and keep our roads clean, please come with your parents to the meeting next week. We will meet in Mrs. Lake-S room on Wednesday at 6:00 p. M.

15、 these barriers around their fields, which help prevent the loss of soil, and stop the wind from blowing soil away. They also keep the wind from damaging or destroying crops. Besides, extra trees and plants can be cut down and used or sold for wood.Windbreaks can be highly valuable for protecting gr
16、ain crops. For example, in parts of West Africa grain harvests were as much as twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks compared with fields without them.But here is something interesting about windbreaks. They seem to work best when they allow some wind to pass through the barrier of
17、 trees or plants around a field. If not, then the movement of air close to the ground will lift the soil. Then the soil will be blown away. For this reason, a windbreak works best if it contains only 60 to 80 percent of the trees and plants that would be needed to make a solid line. An easy rule to
18、remember is that windbreaks can protect areas up to 10 times the height of the tallest trees in the windbreak.There should be at least two lines in each windbreak. One line should be large trees. The second line, right next to it, can be shorter trees or other plants with leaves. Locally grown trees
19、 and plants are considered the best choices for windbreaks. Trees reduce the damaging effects of wind and rain. Their roots help protect soil from being washed away.
