哈尔滨市2014高考英语阅读理解、动词短语精讲讲练（33）及答案 A Plant a Tree in Your Community Almost everyone loves trees, but did you know that trees can help people heal faster? It’s true. According to the ISA (International Society of Arboriculture), hospital patients have been shown to recover faster when offered a view with trees.
