　　Jays(松鸦) are important spreaders of pinyon seeds.Each falles.Throughout the winter，when other food becomes short，the birds feast on hidden seeds.But some seeds never get recovered.Instead，they come out and form the next generation of trees.

　　The researchers conducted their study in a woodland of New Mexico.They spread 20 seeds under each of 12 pinyons­six in quiet spots and six in loud areas.Every day for three days，the team came back to each tree to see how many seeds had been eaten and to replenish(补充) some.They found quieter areas of the woodland were more likely to have jays and four times more with pinyon seedlings than loud regions.Meanwhileyons to survive from generation to generation.

　　The influence of the noise could be felt for many years to come since pinyons live for decades.Fewer seedlings in noisy areas might eventually mean fewer mature trees，because the trees are so slow­growing.Meanwhile，a lower thickness of pinyons would mean less critical(极重要的) habitat for the hundreds of species that depend on them for survival.【文章大意】　美国西部有一种叫做食松的树种。食松为数百种野生动物提供了食物和栖息地同时它Jays are important to the pinyon for the reason that ________．

　　Thanks.

　　One possible version：Hello_everyone，

　　With the changing climate and severe pollution，I strongly believe we all should be living low­carbon lives today.

　　Living a low­carbon life is a good way to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases.I shall do it in the following ways.At home，I shall only turn on the lights if necessary，take shorter showers and keep the refrigerator and air conditioners in the low­carbon mode to save energy.For transportation，the bus or bicycle will be my first choice.When shopping，I’ll limit the use of plastic bags and wherever possible，I will separate my rubbish into non­recyclable and recyclable waste.

　　I am hoping that more and more schoolmates will join me.

　　Thanks.
