The second important way is that trees give us shade. On a hot summer day, people can have a rest under the shade of a tree after they have walked a long way. You can imagine how important the shade of a tree is to man and animals.
The third important way is that trees help to prevent droughts（干旱）and floods. However, in many parts of the world, man has not realized the third important way. He has cut trees down in large numbers. In the end, he finds that he has lost the best friends he had.
