India and China are leading the global greening effort, a latest NASA study said on Monday. It has found that the world is a greener place than it was 20 years ago. Recent satellite data shows the greening pattern is very clear in China and India.

Data from NASA Earth satellites shows that human activities in China and India influence the greening of the planet, thanks to tree planting and agriculture. The influence comes mostly from great tree-planting programs in China and modern agriculture in both countries.

China’s great influence on the global greening mainly comes from its programs to keep and make forests larger in size. The goals of the programs are to make less land degradation (退化), less air pollution, and less climate change.

“When the greening of the Earth was first noticed, we thought it was because of a warmer, wetter climate. Now with the satellite data, we see that humans are also playing an important part,” said Rama Nemani, research scientist at NASA and writer of the study.

“Once people realize there is a problem, they may try to deal with it. In the 1970s and 1980s in India and China, the situation about vegetation (植被) loss was severe. In the 1990s, people realize it, and today things have improved. Humans are very strong. That’s what we see in the satellite data,” added Nemani.

Land areas used to grow crops are comparable in China and India—more than 770,000 square miles—and have not changed much since the early 2000s. Yet, these areas have greatly increased both their green leaf areas and their food production.

1. What can we learn about China and India from Paragraph 2?

A. Their environments are getting worse. B. They have different greening patterns.

C. They have carried out a planting program. D. They pay attention to modern agriculture.
