Trees can give us all these only if they are healthy. They must be well cared for to remain healthy. Your trees trouble may be you yourself. People spend much time and money planting and maintaining trees. Trees help to improve the looks of homes, parks, and public buildings.

There are many people who cause tree injuries. You should become aware of the injuries and avoid causing them. Learn the things that can help to keep your trees healthy. Healthy trees are beautiful.

But if youre unhappy, it cant do you any good to smile, can it? That’s not true. It is clear that smiling works just in the same way whether you feel like smiling or not. Scientists in California asked a group of students to act five different feelings: happiness, sadness, anger, surprise and fear 一 just using their faces.

Study of the roots, branches, and seeds showed no silver. But there were small amounts of gold in the roots and a little less gold in the branches and seeds. The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunks had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.
