All around the world, there are small changes taking place. At the side of roads, behind school playgrounds and on all kinds of unloved pieces of land across towns and cities, tiny forests nearly the size of tennis courts are appearing, making a great place for both wildlife and local people who cannot get close to nature easily. This is the Tiny Forest movement, which aims to show people that the best things in life really do come in small packages.
Tiny Forests were first pioneered as a concept in the 1970s by Dr. Miyawaki, a Japanese botanist(生物学家). As he went on to share his idea with others, it soon took off in India and other countries before eventually reaching Europe, where it became popular in places like France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
★? Louise Hartley, a professor who is leading the Tiny Forest project in the UK, explains that the process begins by looking for areas in which a tiny forest could have the biggest influence. "We focus on places in the city where access to nature is often not that easy," says Hartley. "We see it as a chance to try to break the growing disconnect between people and nature."
In a Tiny Forest, there must be a minimum of 600 trees, and the trees are planted much closer together and without chemicals or fertilizers(肥料). There are usually around 30 different kinds of all - native tree species(物种).
After finding the right spot, the next step to make a Tiny Forest is planning and getting the community to take part. Hartley says, "We want people to feel proud of their Tiny Forest and bring the community closer. This way, Tiny Forests become special green spaces in cities, helping people feel more connected to nature."
56. What do we know about the Tiny Forest movement?
A. It has achieved great success.
B. It is led by a number of schools.
C. It began in Europe in the 1970s.
D. It will spread to the countryside.
57. Which of the following can be put in ★?
A. So, where are the forests planted
B. So, why do the forests have to be tiny
C. So, how does it work
D. So, why does it become popular
58. What is a Tiny Forest like?
59. What is the purpose of getting the locals to take part in the project?
A. To make them proud of themselves.
B. To improve their mental health.
C. To get the community closer and greener.
D. To guide them to know about wildlife.
60. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A Chance to Plant Trees
B. The Rise of Tiny Forests
C. Green Spaces in Towns
D. The Miyawaki Method

在世界各地，都在发生一些小的变化。在道路旁、学校操场后以及城镇中各种不受人喜爱的地块上，面积接近网球场大小的小森林正在出现，这些小森林为野生动物和那些难以亲近自然的当地人提供了一个绝佳的场所。这就是“小森林”运动，其目的是向人们表明，生活中最美好的事物确实可以以小的形式呈现。
“小森林”的概念最早在20世纪70年代由日本植物学家宫胁昭博士率先提出。当他继续向其他人分享他的想法时，这个概念很快在印度和其他国家流行起来，最终传到了欧洲，在法国、比利时和荷兰等地受到欢迎。
★？在英国领导“小森林”项目的教授路易丝·哈特利解释说，这个过程首先是寻找“小森林”能产生最大影响的区域。“我们关注城市中人们通常难以亲近自然的地方，”哈特利说，“我们把这看作是一个试图打破人与自然界日益脱节的机会。”
在一片“小森林”中，至少要有600棵树，而且这些树种植得更加密集，并且不使用化学物质或肥料。通常有大约30种不同的本土树种。
找到合适的地点后，打造“小森林”的下一步是规划并让社区参与进来。哈特利说：“我们希望人们为他们的‘小森林’感到自豪，并使社区更加紧密。通过这种方式，‘小森林’成为城市中特殊的绿色空间，帮助人们感觉与自然的联系更加紧密。”
56. 关于“小森林”运动，我们了解到什么？
A. 它已经取得了巨大的成功。
B. 它由许多学校领导。
C. 它于20世纪70年代在欧洲开始。
D. 它将传播到农村。
57. 以下哪一项可以填入★处？
A. 那么，这些森林种在哪里
B. 那么，为什么这些森林必须很小
C. 那么，它是如何运作的
D. 那么，它为什么受欢迎
58. “小森林”是什么样的？
59. 让当地人参与这个项目的目的是什么？
A. 让他们为自己感到骄傲。
B. 改善他们的心理健康。
C. 使社区更加紧密和环保。
D. 引导他们了解野生动物。
60. 这篇文章的最佳标题是什么？
A. 一个植树的机会
B. “小森林”的兴起
C. 城镇中的绿色空间
D. 宫胁方法
