北师大版高中英语模块4--Unit 10 Money Lesson 3-2

[00:01.44]In fact, it is you who have the most important
[00:04.66]role to play in stopping Yellow River erosion¹.
[00:08.19]Did you know the importance of your 5 yuan?
[00:11.40]For a start, it can buy you a tree,
[00:13.86]which will help make soil stay on the land.
[00:16.93]On land with rich soil,
[00:18.13]local farmers can grow crops to make a living.
[00:21.23]With the money they earn from their crops,
[00:23.36]farmers buy goods or services.
[00:25.21]This helps to develop local economies².

[00:27.91]Still puzzled³ how your 5 yuan can have
[00:30.30]so much effect?
[00:31.92]Well, just take a look at the fact below.
[00:34.81]Since 1997, a tree-planting progamme
[00:37.62]has changed the Jiuchengong Valley
[00:39.62]in Inner⁴ Mongolia into a green homeland.
[00:42.99]Visitors from all over the world
[00:44.85]now come to admire this great achievement.
[00:47.58]What is more, the success of the programme
[00:49.94]has greatly improved the lives
[00:51.73]of the local people.
[00:53.28]Just think:  all this started with 5 yuan!
[00:56.95]So when you have 5 yuan
[00:58.18]in your pocket next time,
[00:59.80]think twice about how to use the money.
[01:02.68]Remember you can use it to buy a tree
[01:05.09]and create a green future for our motherland,
[01:08.08]our people and yourself.
[01:09.25]
