Chinatown is the name given to an area in the middle of London． It is a large Chinese community with a lot of Chinese restaurants， supermarkets and shops．
In the 1950s， it was a poor area and everything was very cheap． At the same time， the world rice market changed and thousands of farm workers in Hong Kong lost their jobs． They began arriving in London to look for work． They found jobs in the restaurants in this area．
These restaurant workers often worked 17hours a day and had no time to learn English． As more Chinese arrived， more shops and businesses grew up． Wives came and joined their husbands and children came and joined their fathers． The community grew， and Chinatown was born．
In the 1970s and 1980s， British﹣born Chinese started to have a better education and this brought economic（经济的）success to the area． Many families moved out of Chinatown， and there was more space for businesses． Chinatown soon became a popular place for tourists．
Now everyone knows about London's Chinatown． During the Chinese New Year， the streets are seen with flags and thousands of Chinese go into the streets． For most of the year， though， Londoners and tourists go there mainly for the food in the Chinese restaurants． The best restaurants are the one where the Chinese eat．

Forests have always been useful and important to men who make use of them in many ways. Every day trees are serving man everywhere. Trees supply man with fruits and building materials in the form of wood. Without trees it would be impossible to build houses, boats, bridges and so on. Furniture such as desks, chairs and beds is made of wood. Trees can stop man from the terrible heat. They’re also useful in preventing(阻止) good and rich top soil from being washed away during heavy rains. If there were no forests, heavy rains would wash away the rich surface(表层) soil that is so important to plants. The result is that the land will become a desert. There are plenty of desert areas in the world. A long time ago these desert areas used to be very rich areas, but men in the past had no enough knowledge about science of nature, and they cut down too many trees in the area where they lived and never planted new ones. By and by, the rich surface soil was blown and washed away by strong winds and heavy rains. In the end the rich land changed into useless deserts where nothing could grow.
