Do you know something about tree rings (年轮)? Do you know they can tell us what the weather was like, sometimes even hundreds of years ago?
A tree will grow well in a climate (气候)with lots of sunshine and rainfall. And little sunshine or rainfall will limit (限制)the growth of climate by studying the tree rings. For example, to find out the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the eleventh ring, then we’re sure that it was sunny and rainy most of that year. If it is near to the eleventh ring, then the climate that year was bad.
Tree rings are important not only for studying the history of weather but also for studying the history of man. Many centuries ago there lived a lot of people at a place in New Mexico. But now you can find only sand there—no trees and no people. What happened?
A scientist studied the rings of dead trees there. He found that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees to make fires and buildings. As all the trees had gone, the people there had to move.

（ ）28. If you want to find out the weather of twenty years ago, you should study _______of a
tree from the outside to the inside..
A. the twentieth ring B. the tenth ring
C. the nineteenth ring D. the twenty-first ring
（ ）29.Why did people usually live in places with lots of trees?
A. Trees could tell the change of the weather
B. Trees brought lots of sunshine and rain
C. Trees could make weather not too hot or too cold
D. Trees could be used for burning and for building house
