四、完形填空
Many men over 50 enjoy nothing more than a bit of peace and quiet. $\underline{\quad1\quad}$ it's not like that for Wang Jiangang who instead chose to plant trees in the Gobi Desert.
Wang has everything a man could want—a successful business（事业）and a happy family. Yet his decision（决定）to plant trees in the desert has made his life quite $\underline{\quad2\quad}$.
In June 2015, Wang went to Ejine of Inner Mongolia with some partners to do a survey. On the day they arrived, a sandstorm caught them. The dark yellow $\underline{\quad3\quad}$ clouded the sky. “Our cars were $\underline{\quad4\quad}$ by sand and stones,” he thought back. When the sandstorm $\underline{\quad5\quad}$ stopped, he found there was nothing in the desert—no road, no grass.
Wang and his partners started $\underline{\quad6\quad}$ trees in the same year. For years, they couldn't put up tents $\underline{\quad7\quad}$ the heavy sandstorms. They had to drive 200 kilometres to buy machine parts, and they didn't even have enough water. However, $\underline{\quad8\quad}$ of these could make them give up.
“I've always hoped to do something bigger. That's $\underline{\quad9\quad}$ I decided to build greenbelts in the desert,” Wang said. Till now, Wang's team has planted 20 666 hectares（公顷）of trees. Some have grown to 2 metres high, and a single tree can fix（固定）10 square metres of sand and $\underline{\quad10\quad}$ it from being destroyed by the wind. “Trees can live up to thousands of years. They are good for our children and our children's children,” Wang said.
( ) 1. A. But B. So C. And D. Or
