Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to bring water to the deserts，so people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot about the deserts. But more and more earth is becoming deserts all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the deserts. Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth.

Some places on the earth don't get very much rain. But they still don't become deserts. This is because some green plants are growing there. Small green plants and grass are very helpful to dry places. Plants don't let the hot sun make the earth even drier. Plants don't let the wind blow the earth away. When a little bit of rain falls，the plants hold the water. Without plants，the land can become a desert much more easily.

文章大意：由于土地沙漠化，农田面积在减少，如何使沙漠变良田，植被作用至关重要。科学家们正在为此努力。

A．plants can keep dry land from becoming deserts

B．it is good to get rid of the grass in the deserts
