Most people agree that trees look nice， but not everyone knows that trees can also help cities save money． A few years ago， the US Forest Service studied trees in Chicago． They found that just one tree can save a city hundreds of dollars over its lifetime．
Trees can save money by helping people save energy（能源）． Trees stop the sun shining on buildings． They also block（挡住） the winter wind． That helps people use less energy to make their homes or offices warm or cool． Saving energy is saving money．
Trees have another way to help a city save money． When it rains， there will be a lot of water in a city's sewers （下水道）． Cities need lots of money to clean that water． But before the rainwater gets to the dirty sewers， trees can take some into themselves． With the help of trees， there is less water to clean．

But modern soccer didn't become official（官方的） until 1863． An Englishman called Cobb Morley introduced the idea of a soccer association（联盟）．（3） From then on， other associations in the countries were set up． They came together to build up the FIFA， which organizes the World Cup．

Earlier this year， China achieved a new milestone（里程碑） in space exploration（探索）． On Jan 3， Chang'e 4 became the first space probe（探测器） in history to land on the far side of the moon， People's Daily reported．

Chang'e 4 has realized the goal of landing． The third will be achieved during the Chang'e 5 mission， which is set to take place before the end of this year， China Daily reported．

Few words are spoken more often every day on the streets of Britain than "I'm sorry"． This phrase has become such a common response（反应） that it has taken ona lot of meanings．
Saying "Sorry" means to apologize（道歉）． This is simple and easy to understand． We learn it both as a native speaker and as a student of foreign languages．
But in Britain， it takes on another meaning． It is a cultural expression． Imagine this： a man walks down the street， looking down at his phone． A woman is walking in the opposite direction， towards the man． She sees him， but she can't get out of the way in time． The man bumps （碰撞） into the woman． Who should say sorry？ Naturally， the man should say sorry， because it was he who wasn't looking where he was going． Yet in Britain， it is common for both to apologize．
It is known that British people， like most people， do not enjoy conflict（冲突）．So to quickly calm the situation， British people will apologize to each other．
Other times it may sound funny to hear "sorry"． Some of my friends say it at restaurants， as they ask the waiter： "Sorry， but can I order another drink？" It is not to apologize， but just to express that we need the waiter． In Britain， sorry doesn't always mean exactly what you think．
