阅读理解。 Everyone may know tree rings tell us how old a tree is. But do you know they can tell us what the weather was like? A tree grows well in a climate (气候) with lots of sunlight and rainfall (雨量). And little sunshine or rainfall limits (限制) the growth of a tree. We can see the change of climate by studying the tree rings. For example, to find out the weather of ten years ago, you can count the rings of a tree from the outside to the inside. If the tenth ring is far from the elh ring, then we are sure that it was sunny and rainy most of that year. If it is near to the elh ring, then the climate of that year was bad. 1.
