A new kind f hybrid （杂交的）wheat nw available t American farmers may help reduce fears ver genetically engineered crps.
The new hybrid, develped by Chinese- wned agriculture cmpany Syngenta, is being intrduced as seed cmpanies wrldwide seek t increase prductin because f decreasing grain supplies. The prduct was created withut genetic engineering. The first seeds t grw the wheat will be released n 2,000 t 2,800 hectares f American farmland next year.
Yu may wnder abut hw hybrid wheat is made. Develpers, r researchers, create hybrid wheat by taking away the natural ability f plants t pllinate （对……授粉）themselves. Instead, female wheat plants in a field are pllinated by male plants f a different line. The gal f the prcess is t create seeds that can prduce bigger crps and better resist harmful envirnments. The fertilized （受精的）female plant prduces a new kind f hybrid. Using this hybrid technlgy permits researchers t chse the best elements frm tw parent seeds t prduce new seeds cntaining the best characteristics f bth.
Farmers have grwn hybrid crn since the 1930s. The grwth imprved crp sizes, called yields, by increasing the plant's resistance t things like insects and disease. Vegetables like nins, spinach and tmates are als grwn frm hybrid seeds.
Seed cmpanies said they used their experience launching hybrid crn and barley t develp hybrid wheat. Average crn yields increased 600 percent frm 1930 t the mid- 1990s. This result was partly helped by hybridizatin. Wheat saw an increase f tw- and-a-half times, the US Department f Agriculture said. Researchers say hybrid wheat has taken lnger t cme t market because the develpment prcess is mre cstly and cmplex.
It culd be imprtant t increase wheat yields while aviding being linked t “GMO” develpment. GMO stands fr genetically mdified rganism. Genetically mdified wheat has never been grwn fr industry purpses because f fears that pisns might be created.
1. Why is the new hybrid being intrduced?
A.It is much cheaper.B.It can help increase grain supplies.
C.It is supprted by the Chinese gvernment.D.Seed cmpanies lack traditinal wheat seeds.
2. What is paragraph 3 mainly abut?
A.Hw plants get pllinated.B.Hw hybrid wheat is created.
C.Hw female wheat plants have seeds.D.Hw researchers find tw parent seeds.
3. What has prevented hybrid wheat frm entering market earlier?
A.Develping it is quite challenging.B.Researchers aren't very interested in it.
C.Seed cmpanies gt int financial difficulties.D.The US Department f Agriculture wasn't supprtive.
4. What is implied abut genetically mdified wheat in the last paragraph?
A.The public desn't really like it.B.It can greatly help increase wheat yields.
C.Researchers will ease the public's fear f it.D.It has been prved t harm peple's health.

Did yu knw that the African natin f Cng is hme t the wrld's largest peatlands? Cvering ver 16.7 millin hectares, they are larger than the mainland f England and Wales.
Peatlands, which cntain large amunts f rganic material, are wetland ecsystems. Peat, an rganic material, is an accumulatin f decayed （腐烂的）plants r natural matter. It is mst cmmnly fund in peatlands, which stre vast amunts f carbn, twice the capacity f frests. Fr example, the United Kingdm's peatlands have absrbed 3.2 millin tnnes f carbn. The peatlands f Cng hld carbn that if released wuld be the equivalent f three years wrth f emissins.
Aside frm string carbn, peatlands als help keep the Earth's temperature in check by prviding a net cling effect n the climate. Furthermre, peats slw water frm upland streams, thereby mitigating fld risk. Like wetlands, peatlands are nesting grunds fr wading birds and shelters fr insects and plants.
Unfrtunately tday, peatlands arund the wrld are slwly degrading （退化）.In rder t meet the grwing demands fr fd, farmers are frced t drain areas with upland and lwland peat. Peat is als extracted frm bgs （沼泽） and wetlands thrugh mining fr use in garden cultivatin.
These activities greatly impact peatlands and increase CO2 emissins as well as the risks f flding. Furthermre, when peat sil dries ut, it allws shrubs t thrive, raising the risk f wildfires.
S what can be dne t restre them? In the United Kingdm, nn-gvernmental rganizatins（NGOs） and private sectr crpratins are cnducting peatland restratin prjects. These prjects include raising water levels, adjusting drainage systems, and remving trees frm peatlands. Meanwhile, Germany funded tw millin eurs int the Glbal Peatlands Initiative, which brings cuntries tgether t prtect peatlands. The UN Envirnment Prgram has als taken steps t prmte cperatin between peatland cuntries t identify and implement the best practices t manage peatlands.
Despite this, glbal awareness f peatlands must grw. If necessary actin can be taken t keep carbn in peatlands, the wrld can keep the glbal average temperature belw 2°c and tward a sustainable future.
1. What d we knw abut peatlands frm paragraph 2?
A.They are mre imprtant than frests.B.They mainly exist in Cng and the UK.
C.They play an imprtant rle in string carbn.D.They are the main wetland ecsystems wrldwide.
2. What des the underlined wrd “mitigating” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Reducing.B. Causing.C. Frecasting.D. Assessing.
3. What may be harmful t peatlands arund the wrld accrding t the text?
A. Flding.B. Glbal warming.C. Wildfires.D. Human activities.
4. What is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Glbal Peatlands InitiativeB.Why Are Peatlands Imprtant?

As a teacher f standard Chinese, I never imagined I‘d be able t cnnect with 140,000 students frm all ver the wrld.
Thrugh my writings fr Time Out Shanghai and my studies in Chinese philsphy with exchange students frm Eurpe and Nrth America, I was able t gain an insider’s perspective （视角）n the Chinese expat cmmunity. This specialized knwledge is what draws many students t me. While sme may think I’m verqualified （资历过高的）t be teaching beginners, I firmly believe these students need the highest quality instructin t build a strng fundatin.
And that’s exactly why I set up my Chinese Beginner Masterclass—a 50-lessn, fully- captined vide curse with a human teacher, ne-n-ne supprt, and cmmunity experience. It suits ttal and advanced standard Chinese beginners wh want t cnnect with new friends in a casual and frmal setting-all in a culturally respectful way.
My students range in age frm yung children t retired senirs, but what they all share is a passin fr learning and a desire t make meaningful cnnectins with the peple and culture f China. I am prud t have created a gd and supprtive cmmunity f learners frm all ver the wrld and I am always inspired by the amazing stries and experiences my students share with me.

Cncentratins （含 量） f micrplastics in the ceans have increased in the past 18 years, with researchers nw estimating there are 2. 3 millin tnnes flating in the sea wrldwide.
Micrplastics-defined as plastic particles less than 5 millimeters lng-are cmmnly fund in the bdies f sea turtles, whales and fish. Studies have tracked micrplastic pllutin in ceans since the 1970s, but it wasn’t until 2005 that micrplastic cncentratins started t rapidly and cnsistently increase.
The sharp increase in micrplastic cncentratins in the ceans since 2005 may be due t a bm in plastic prductin arund this time, says Lisa Erdle at the 5 Gyres Institute in Santa Mnica, Califrnia. Glbal plastic prductin almst dubled between 2005 and 2019, frm 263 millin tnnes t 460 millin tnnes, accrding t the OECD and Our Wrld in Data.
It culd als be the result f a failure t intrduce mandatry （强制性的）measures t reduce pllutin, Erdle says, even as waste accumulates as new plastic enters the ceans and lder pieces break dwn int micrplastics.
“In recent years, there have been n binding internatinal plicies, and we see a rapid increase in plastic pllutin in the wrld’s ceans,”she says.
Sme cuntries, including the UK, have intrduced laws t tackle micrplastic pllutin, such as banning the use f plastic straws and reducing demand fr single-use carrier bags. In 2022, cuntries agreed t draw up a glbal treaty （条约）t deal with plastic pllutin, with a draft text expected by 2024. Withut a widespread shift in plastic plicy, the rate at which plastic flws int the wrld’s ceans culd be 2.6 times higher by 2040 cmpared with 2016, a study warns.
Other scientists have als backed calls fr a glbal limit n plastic prductin, but such a mve wuld prve hugely cntrversial and is likely t be heavily resisted by petrchemical industries.
1. When did plastic cncentratins in the ceans begin t rapidly rise?
A. In 1970.B. In 2005.C. In 2019.D. In 2022.
2. What may bring abut an increase in cncentratins f micrplastics in the ceans accrding t Lisa Erdle?
A.Whales’dietary changes.B.The ban n plastic straws.
C.The rapid grwth f plastic prducts.D.Envirnmental prtectin measures taken by gvernments.
3. What can we learn frm paragraph 6?
A.The UK plays a leading rle in micrplastic pllutin reductin.
B.Cuntries are wrking t deal with micrplastic pllutin.
C.A brad shift in plastic plicy is nt necessary at all.
D.Cncentratins f micrplastics will decline sharply in 2024.

Intense weather has kept hitting Califrnia since late December, with heavy rains and high winds leading t flding, landslides, dwned trees and ther damage acrss the state.
Over the past weeks, the strms have pured 400 t 600 percent mre rain than nrmal fr this time f year in sme areas. Rainfall in sme places has ttaled three feet since Christmas. " I’ve never really seen s many rainstrms in my career, Paul Hrvat, the emergency services manager fr Santa Cruz, tells the New Yrk Times.

T Redwd Materials, the rws f cardbard bxes in its gravel parking lt represent bth the past and the future f electric vehicles (EVs). Mst f the bxes are abut the size f a washing machine and are wrapped in white plastic. But sme lie pen, revealing their cntents: wireless keybards, deserted tys and used batteries.
Far frm rubbish, the battery materials in all these discarded （废弃的）items are a prize——the metals are critical t meeting explding demand fr electric vehicles.
Redwd Materials is ne f a grwing number f recycling cmpanies wrking t prvide an alternative t the landfill fr lithium- in （锂离子）batteries used in electrnics and EVs. The cmpany annunced its plans fr this $3.5 billin plant in Ren in mid-2022. The facility is expected t prduce material fr 1 millin lithium-in EV batteries by 2025, increasing up t 5 millin by 2030. Redwd plans t start cnstructin n an additinal facility in the eastern US in 2023.
Other US-based startups, like American Battery Technlgy Cmpany, have als annunced large cmmercial tests, jining an established recycling market in China and Eurpe. These new recycling enterprises are encuraged by a bming （繁荣的） market fr electric vehicles. EV adptin is bringing new demand fr the metals that g int their batteries. EVs are expected t accunt fr 13% f new vehicle sales in 2022, a number that's expected t climb t abut 30% by 2030. Supplying all thse cars with batteries will require far mre metals than are currently available. Mre than 200 new mines culd be needed by 2035 t prvide enugh material fr just the cbalt, lithium, and nickel needed fr EV batteries.
Recycling culd represent a majr new surce f raw materials. Practical, ecnmical battery recycling is key t fulfilling the prmise f EVs. While the wave f dead batteries may be slw t build, the recycling industry is preparing nw fr what's cming, because carrying ut this new idea will take decades f steady prgress and innvatin. Redwd's parking lt full f used batteries is just the start.

Arund 20,000 years ag, Ice Age hunter-gatherers in Eurpe decrated caves with varius animal drawings. Smetimes, the creatures were accmpanied by a mysterius series f symbls, including dts, lines and crsses. Researchers have lng debated the meaning f these markings.
Nw, in a new study published in the Cambridge Archaelgical Jurnal, scientists prpse that these drawings were an early frm f writing that recrded animal behavir. If cnfirmed, this wuld mean humans had develped a prt-writing（原始书写）system at least 10,000 years earlier than previusly thught, reprts Alisn Gerge fr New Scientist.
In the study, the team examined three shapes: lines, dts and Y-like symbls. They assumed these marks represented mnths f the year t cnvey infrmatin abut their crrespnding animals’ mating and birthing habits. Bennett Bacn, a Lndn-based independent researcher, came up with the initial assumptin. He prduced a database f animal drawings frm glbal literature and web files. It revealed 606 examples f animals accmpanied by lines r dts and anther 256 animals with marks including a Y-shape.
Bacn and sme experts analyzed the data, cncluding the marks were a lunar calendar. Each dt r line represented ne mnth, with the number f symbls indicating hw many mnths after the start f spring each animal's mating seasn began. Fr example, hrses are ften accmpanied by three marks, while mammths （猛玛象）have five. The placement f the Y- shaped mark indicates the mnth that the animal gives birth.
But nt all researchers agree with the idea. Because the team examined nly three f at least 32 different repeated signs. That leaves mst f the cave symbls withut any suggested meaning. There are a number f assumptins being made here that have yet t be prven. Examining the three mst cmmn symbls as a starting pint makes sense, and they plan t expand their wrk t lk at the ther marks.
1.What can we learn frm the new study?
A.Lines, dts and Y-like symbls are examined in the study.
B.These drawings were definitely the earliest frm f writing.
C.These drawings recrded early humans’ behavirs.
D.Humans develped a prt-writing system abut 10,000 years ag.
2. What des it mean when a hrse is accmpanied by three marks?
A.The hrse's birthing seasn begins three years after it is brn.
B.The hrse's mating seasn ends with the third mnth f the year.
C.The hrse's birthing seasn cntinues three mnths after the arrival f autumn.
D.The hrse's mating seasn starts three mnths after the beginning f spring.
3. Why d sme researchers disagree with the team's idea?
A.The team misunderstd meanings f sme cave symbls.
B.The team examined nly a small part f signs.
C.The team made assumptins based n ther established research.
D.The team didn't expand their wrk in time.

The Earth's zne layer is n its way t recvering, thanks t decades f wrk t get rid f zne-damaging chemicals, a panel f internatinal experts backed by the United Natins has fund.
The zne layer serves an imprtant functin fr living things n Earth. This shield in the stratsphere （平流层）prtects humans and the envirnment frm harmful levels f the sun's radiatin.
The internatinal cmmunity was alarmed after experts discvered a hle in the zne layer in May 1985. Scientists had previusly discvered that chemicals, used in manufacturing certain sprays and used as refrigerants （制冷剂）, culd destry zne. Tw years after the discvery f the dreadful state f the zne layer, internatinal bdies adpted a glbal agreement called the Mntreal Prtcl. This established the phaseut （逐步淘汰）f almst 100 man-made chemicals that were tied t the destructin f the all-imprtant zne.
In the latest reprt n the prgress f the Mntreal Prtcl, the UN-backed panel cnfirmed that nearly 99% f banned zne-eating substances have been phased ut. If current plicies stay in place, the zne layer is expected t recver t 1980 values by 2040, the United Natins annunced. In sme places, it may take lnger. Experts said that 1980-level recvery ver Antarctica is expected by arund 2066 and by 2045 ver the Arctic.
The destructin f the zne layer is nt a majr cause f climate change. But research is shwing that these effrts t save the zne layer are prving beneficial in the fight against climate change. “Ozne actin is a pineer fr climate actin,“ said Wrld Meterlgical Organizatin Secretary-General Petteri Taalas. "Our success in phasing ut zne-eating chemicals shws us that what can and must be dne as a matter f urgency t shift away frm fssil fuels, reduce greenhuse gases and s limit temperature increase.”
1. Why did the internatinal cmmunity start t prtect the zne layer?
A.The Mntreal Prtcl was signed.B.Chemicals culd destry the zne layer.
C.A hle in the zne layer was discvered.D.The stratsphere is harmful t human health.
2. Which f the fllwing can NOT help prtect the zne layer?

“Net zer is arund the crner,” said Mike Wake, directr f city energy slutins and generatin at E. ON. The UK has cut emissins by 40 percent t date-mstly thrugh the grwth f large renewable generatin n the grid-but further cuts will be needed clser t hme as Lndn struggles with new ways f using energy.
While Newham has lwer greenhuse gas emissins per head, it has high levels f fuel pverty, pr air quality and leaky hmes. Vastly imprved energy efficiency-especially n lder, leakier hmes-alng with mre efficient frms f heating and an expansin f lw carbn heat netwrks, will help, said Wake.

ON has already helped save Newham thusands f tns f emissins thrugh district heating schemes and slar PV, and mre energy efficiency measures in hmes.
But the challenges are substantial. Newham has Lndn's secnd-highest rate f fuel pverty. "I’m cnfident. hpeful and realistic abut the cllective challenge,” said majr Rkhsana Fiaz. "But fr Newham t be at the frefrnt f a green ecnmy, t deal with fuel pverty and deal with structural equalities, we must unite and spare n effrts."

A family sits arund their dining rm table n an average evening, sharing a meal tgether. Yet the children in the family are nt sharing time with each ther, but spending it n their devices.

Jasn Allen was almst t nervus t enter his first art cmpetitin. Nw, his award-winning image has caused cntrversy （争议）.
In August, Allen, a game designer, wn first place in the Clrad State Fair Fine Arts Cmpetitin. His winning image was made with Midjumey-an artificial intelligence （ AI ） system that can prduce detailed images when fed written prmpts （提示符）.
Allen's winning image is ne f three such images he entered in the cmpetitin. The definitin fr the categry in which Allen cmpeted states that digital art refers t wrks that use digital technlgy as part f the creative r presentatin prcess. Allen used Midjumey t create his image.
Midjumey is ne f a grwing number f AI image generatrs. Others include Ggle Research’s Imagen and OpenAI's DALL-E 2. Anyne can use Midjumey, while DALL-E 2 requires an invitatin, and Imagen has nt been pened up t users utside Ggle.
Whether these tls can truly make art r assist humans in making art came int sharp fcus nt lng after Allen's win. Sme artists were angered by his win because f his use f AI t create the image. "This is really bad fr the exact same reasn we dn't let rbts participate in the Olympics,” ne artist wrte.
Cal Duran, an artist and art teacher wh was ne f the judges fr the cmpetitin, said that while Allen's piece included a mentin f Midjumey, he didn't realize that it was generated by AI when judging it. Still, he stuck by his decisin t award it first place in its categry, calling it a beautiful piece. "There's a lt invlved in this piece and I think AI technlgy may give mre pprtunities t peple wh may nt find themselves artists in the cnventinal way,” he said.
Allen wn't yet say what the text prmpt was behind his winning image-he's planning t keep it a secret until he publishes a larger related wrk that he hpes will be finished later this year.

In high schl, I was friends with a lt f athletes. The ftball, track and wrestling teams were filled with peple I called friends. Mst f them r anther benefited frm their time in sprts. But unfrtunately, I can't say the same fr thse wh participated in cmpetitive bdybuilding.
Cmpetitive bdybuilders aim t have unusually large bdies, with less f a fcus n fitness and verall health. The practice f wrking hard fr such large bdies can lead t many health issues. Besides the training injuries cmmn in mst strength training disciplines, t much lifting puts yu at risk f artic （主动脉的）tears, which can be deadly. Mismanaged diets can als make bdybuilders lack essential vitamins and nutrients.
Many supplements, bth legal and cntrlled, have detrimental effects n the bdy when used in excess. Pre-wrkut supplements, fr example, are ften filled with caffeine and ther perfrmance-enhancing additives （添加剂）. Als, pre-wrkut supplements can becme dangerus in large dses and cause side-effects.
Bdybuilding can als lead t the develpment f eating disrders. Bryan Caldern, a yung athlete wh went t dangerus extremes t achieve a better physique （体形），expressed his struggles with eating disrders during that time. Bryan said, “My average net wrth f calries every day fr fur mnths straight was 400 calries a day. " He als wuld “run abut five miles every day” t burn the mst calries. This behavir began taking a tll n Bryan's health. One mrning, he explained he “culdn't stand fr 30 minutes” after his leg gave ut frm underneath him.
Befre cmpetitins, this srt f behavir was cmmn amng yung bdybuilders. Limiting their calric intake t the equivalent f “a cheese stick and ygurt," they wuld lse fat rapidly while running every day. Hwever, it didn't stp there. Bryan witnessed sme bdybuilders fasting fr days befre a shw in rder t have a better physique. This greatly harmed their health.
T cnclude, we shuld exercise fr fitness, and we shuld say “n" t unhealthy bdybuilding.

Apes have their wn system f gestures t shw what they mean. Chimpanzees （黑猩猩）and bnbs are tw kinds f apes that are clsest t humans. They use abut 80 different gestures t shw what they mean.
Scientists have studied hw apes use gestures. But n ne had studied whether humans can understand the gestures f apes. Researchers Kirsty Graham and Catherine Hbaiter at the University f St. Andrews decided t test this idea. They wanted t see if humans with n training r experience culd understand the gestures f chimpanzees and bnbs.
The researchers created a game fr peple t play nline. The game was simple. Peple watched shrt vides f apes making a gesture. Then they had t chse the crrect meaning f the gesture ut f fur pssible answers. Fr the vides, the researchers chse 10 f the mst cmmn gestures used by chimpanzees and bnbs. Thusands f peple played the game.
The researchers were surprised t find that peple were able t chse the crrect meaning f the gestures ver 50% f the time. That’s twice as gd as peple wuld be expected t d by chance. Fr sme f the gestures, peple were able t chse the crrect meaning abut 80% f the time. One example f this was the gesture f wiping the muth, which peple crrectly guessed meant “give me that fd”.
The scientists believe that humans may have a natural ability t understand the gestures f apes. But it's nt clear why. Humans and ther apes all develped frm an earlier kind f ape that lived lng ag. One pssibility is that the bdy language f these gestures has been passed dwn frm this shared ancestr. Anther pssibility is that the gestures are a natural result f humans and apes sharing similar bdy shapes
1. What did the researchers want t knw thrugh such a study?

3. What des an ape intend t d if it wipes its muth?
A.Share fd.B.Ask fr fd.C.Make its muth clean.D.Eat smething secretly.
4. What des the last paragraph mainly talk abut?
A.The same natural abilities f humans as apes

While stress is an unavidable aspect f life, studies cntinue t shw t much stress can have a bad impact n bth health and well-being. Mre specifically, excess stress can lead t high bld pressure, increasing heart disease risk. With all that in mind, researchers frm the Universities f Maynth and Limerick set ut t better understand hw reactins t stressful events impact ur future health, as well as if there are any factrs that can play key stress-buffering (缓解压力的)rles.
The research team suggests that previus research has shwn that gratitude and affect-balance (balance f psitive t negative emtins) play key stress-buffering rles. Hwever, up until nw there have been few studies examining the impact f these variables n cardivascular (心血管的)recvery frm severe psychlgical stress. Researchers chse t fcus n this cnsideratin, as well as whether r nt affect-balance mderates the relatinship between gratitude and cardivascular reactins t severe psychlgical stress.
The actual research prtin f this prject tk place at Maynth University and invlved a ttal f 68 undergrad students (24 men, 44 wmen) between the ages f 18 and 57. The experiment featured lab tasks which caused stress amng the participants, while researchers measured cardivascular reactivity and recvery in respnse t the stress.
The ensuing results reveal that a state f gratitude predicts lwer systlic bld pressure respnses thrughut the stress-testing perid. This means, researchers say, that gratitude prmtes a unique stress-buffering effect n bth reactins t and recvery frm severe psychlgical stress. The team als fund that affect-balance increases the effects f grateful feelings.
In cnclusin, researchers believe these findings hld clinical （临床的）usefulness. There are many lw-cst ways t develp grateful feelings that can help prmte imprved well-being. Fr instance, ne earlier study fund cardiac patients wh make use f gratitude jurnals have better cardivascular utcmes than thse wh d nt. Thse earlier prjects, in cmbinatin with these latest findings, strngly suggest that gratitude is a useful tl in the fight against stress and pr cardivascular health.

B.T suggest we shuld learn mre ways t relieve stress.
C.T explain why the findings are meaningful.
D.T shw hspitals shuld use mre treatment ways.

A small twn in Texas culd be preparing fr a big change! Fr years Galvestn, Texas has been suffering Gulf cast hurricanes that push seawater inland, causing flding and great damage.
Thugh the eastern half f the island is prtected by a seawall, mst f the island is still vulnerable （脆弱的）.But all that is abut t change. A new prject is in the wrks t build a dike （堤坝）in Galvestn Bay. As with mst castal cities, Galvestn is in cnstant danger f hurricanes and rising sea levels. A dike一a barrier used t hld back water--is exactly what the city needs.
Bill Merrel, a prfessr at Texas A&M University in Galvestn, came up with the idea fr the Ike Dike after being inspired by fldgates in the Netherlands. Merrel believes that the Ike Dike culd be built using the same technlgy used in the Netherlands and will help prtect the Galvestn and Hustn areas frm hurricanes that culd destry valuable infrastructure （基础设施）.
The Ike Dike will cnsist f an 18-mile barrier t be built arund the backside f the island, and fldgates abut 650 feet wide一 that's like laying a 60-stry building n its side!
The Ike Dike has been being discussed fr years, but it seems it may sn becme reality. The gvernment recently signed an $ 858 billin defense bill that includes funding fr prjects that are vital t prtecting the natin frm climate- related disasters. The bill sets aside $ 34 billin t prtect the Texas cast, which includes funding fr the Ike Dike. The prject is expected t take nearly tw decades t cmplete, s the sner the prject is started the better!
With the climate crisis, many mre castal cities are likely t see rising sea levels, increased flding, and bigger hurricanes, and prjects like the Ike Dike will be needed. With the defense bill, hpefully, castal cities will receive the help they need.

Have yu ever driven by an il field and seen a burning flame cming ut f a tall stack （大烟囱）？
Oil fields release millins f tnnes f plluting greenhuse gases and dangerus chemicals in a prcess called il and gas flaring （燃烧）. These flares may nt be as harmless as they seem. Recently, Iraq's Envirnmental Minister Jassem al-Falahi admitted that pllutin frm il prductin fields resulted in an increased risk f leukemia cancer in lcal cmmunities.
Crude il and natural gas are bth frmed frm the remains f sea plants and animals that were buried millins f years ag. In ther wrds, wells that cntain crude il als cntain natural gas. Natural gas is made up mstly f methane, a greenhuse gas that is respnsible fr glbal warming and 80 times mre pwerful than carbn dixide.
Flaring refers t the prcess where these gases are burned in il and gas wells. The purpse f burning natural gas is t turn methane j int ther cmpunds （混合物）.Hwever, the prcess is nt very efficient, s much f the methane remains methane. Flared gases release different pllutants. These pllutants add up in the atmsphere and lead t climate change. They als reduce air quality and endanger human lives.
S why d il cmpanies release these gases knwing the dangers? Because they find it hard t make mney ut f the gases and are unwilling t invest in their capture and transprtatin.
Many experts argue that regulatin is necessary t reduce il flares and ensure that the gases are repurpsed t prvide energy. They believe that strng regulatins that encurage cmpanies t capture and sell the excess gases culd help pwer cuntries and reduce emissins. In fact, the amunt f natural gas that is flared wrldwide annually culd pwer the entire sub-Saharan regin f the African cntinent.
As we learn mre abut climate change and the surces f the prblem, it is imperative t address the unsustainable practices that pse a risk t ur planet and t ur health and quality f life.

WASHINGTON—A Falcn 9 successfully launched a satellite jintly develped by the United States and France t mnitr water levels and the effects f climate change. The Falcn 9 lifted ff frm Space Launch Cmplex 4E at Vandenberg Space Frce Base in Califrnia at 6：46 am n Dec. 16.
The satellite has been named SWOT一 Surface Water and Ocean Tpgraphy. Scientists hpe data frm the satellite will help them t mnitr hw climate change is adversely （不利地）changing water levels. The US bradcaster PBS said：“The satellite is needed mre than ever, as climate change wrsens drughts, flding and castal ersin （侵蚀）.” A NASA spkespersn spke f the missin's imprtance. She said: “It's a pivtal mment. We're ging t see Earth's water like we've never seen it befre.
The satellite is the size f a sprts utility vehicle. It tk 20 years t make and cst $1.2 billin. High-precisin radar will measure the height f water n 90 percent f Earth’s surface. It will survey millins f lakes and 2. 1 millin kilmeters f rivers. It will identify areas f water lss that culd threaten ppulatins and castlines. “SWOT will give us a ten-fld imprvement in the accuracy and spatial reslutin（空间分辨率）f ur measurements f water height,” said Karen St. Germain, directr f NASA's Earth science divisin.

One Acre Fund is a Kenya-based scial cmpany that believes farmers are the key t achieving fd security and prsperity （繁荣）. Yet, in sub-Saharan Africa, smallhlder farmers accunt fr mst individuals surviving n just a dllar per day.
When it cmes t bsting the success f smallhlder farmers, receiving quality agricultural training is very imprtant. One Acre Fund prvides direct and persnalized training t farmers t imprve yields. Fr instance, farmers learn beneficial planting techniques, hw t prepare the land fr planting, hw t prevent diseases and pests and battle unexpected barriers in grwing crps, amng ther tpics.
But just prviding them with that isn't enugh. There is anther big prblem that shuld be slved.
In 2021,58% f the ppulatin in sub- Saharan Africa lived in rural areas with many f these areas being remte and lacking infrastructure （基础设施）and rad netwrks. One Acre Fund intrduced the Last Mile Delivery strategy t ensure farmers in the mst remte places can access essential resurces that will help break the cycle f pverty. In rder t this, the scial cmpany delivers thrugh three pathways ： retail shps, field fficers and trial nline apps. Different mdes f transprt used fr deliveries, such as tractrs mtrcycles.
In 2021, the effrts f One Acre Fund benefited the lives and livelihds f 3. 2 millin farmers. The scial cmpany has expanded the incme f farmers by abut 40% annually, resulting in $210 millin in new farm prfits, its website says.

Since ancient times, peple have made sun-dried frm sil and ther materials. Called mud bricks, they are again regaining ppularity. These bricks dn't need firing at high heat, which keeps their csts lw and means their prductin emits n Earth- warming pllutin. Mud brick buildings stay naturally cl in ht climates. Their durability（耐用性），hwever, can be a challenge. Earthen buildings break dwn faster when they get wet than thse made with fired-clay brick r cement.
Yask Kulshreshtha, an engineer at Delft University f Technlgy in the Netherlands, was in India when he nticed villagers using a mix f cw dung （粪便）and mud t make their earthen hmes water-resistant. Cw dung is made up f plant fibers, micrbes, amin acids, minerals and nutrients. Kulshreshtha had heard the plant fibers created the water resistance, but it hadn't been studied. S, his team set ut t test this.
First, they extracted the fibers frm fresh cw dung. Next, they split the remaining material int tw grups ： medium-sized micrbial particles （each an average f 19. 78 micrmeters in diameter ） and small-sized micrbial particles （ averaging nly 2.7 micrmeters acrss）. The team mixed sil and dung in a 50-t-1 mix. Using a machine, they cmpressed each mix int small blcks. They als made sme blcks with just sil r just dung.
Then they perfrmed tw tests. In ne, they placed each type f blck in water t see hw lng it held tgether. In anther they dripped water directly nt each type f blck, t lk fr ersin （侵蚀）.In bth tests, blcks with the small-sized particles resisted the water better.
The smallest particles were rich in fatty acids. They als had negative electric charges. Bth culd help explain why blcks made with these particles were better at repelling water, the scientists say. Based n their findings, the team prduced blcks that perfrmed 30 times better than blcks made withut cw dung.

Elephant paching (偷 猎)is likely driven by need, nt greed, accrding t findings published this mnth in Prceedings f the Ryal Sciety B. Fewer elephants were pached where humans were healthier and wealthier, accrding t sme researchers wh analyzed data frm mre than 10,000 killings ver nearly tw decades and acrss 30 African cuntries.
The research team fund that paching ccurred mre frequently in Central Africa and near the Mzambique-Tanzania brder and affected frest elephants mre severely than their savanna cusins. Frm 2002 t 2020, Garamba Natinal Park, in the Demcratic Republic f Cng (DRC), saw mre than 860 elephants die at the hands f pachers, and Selus Game Reserve, in Tanzania, mre than 750. Surrunding areas had amng the lwest husehld wealth scres and mid- level health scres.
Measured n a scale f 0 t 100, wealthier regins typically have scres f 60 and abve. All the areas in the study scred belw 45, and thse with the lwest scres had higher levels f paching. By 2020 in the DRC and Tanzania, wealth scres had risen nly t abut 25 and 26 respectively.
Meanwhile, elephants have fared much better in Namibia’s Etsha Natinal Park. The wealth scre f neighbring cmmunities rse steadily frm 2002 thrugh 2020, t abut 43. and Etsha recrded just tw illegal killings during thse years.

A parasite （寄生虫） might be driving sme wlves t lead. Wlves in Yellwstne Natinal Park infected with a certain micrbe （细菌）make mre daring decisins than uninfected wlves, a team f researchers led by Cnnr Meyer reveals.
The puppet-master parasite is called Txplasma gndii. This single-celled creature has a track recrd f changing animal behavirs. Infected mice, fr example, can lse their fear f cats. This increases the mice's chances f getting eaten. And that's gd fr Txplasma gndii, which breeds inside felines’ small intestines （肠子）.
Recent research has shwn that in Yellwstne Natinal Park, Txplasma gndii infects many wlves. Meyer's team wndered if the park's wlves shwed any mind-bending behavir caused by the parasite f their wn. T find ut, they pred ver abut 26 years' wrth f data cvering 229 f the park's wlves. These data included bld samples and bservatins f the wlves’ behavirs and mvements.
Screening the wlf bld fr antibdies against Txplasma gndii parasites revealed which animals were infected. The researchers als nted which wlves left their pack r became a pack leader. A wlf pack usually includes a mm, dad and their kids.
Leaving a pack r becming a pack leader are bth perilus mves, Meyer says. Wlves withut a pack are mre likely t starve, since hunting is mre difficult. And t becme a pack leader, wlves may have t fight ther pack members.
Infected wlves were 11 times as likely as uninfected wlves t leave their pack, and they were abut 46 times as likely t becme leaders. The findings fit with Txplasma gndii’s ability t bst bldness in a variety f ther animals.
The study fills a crucial gap in knwledge abut Txplasma gndii, says Ajai Vyas. This neurbilgist, wh did nt participate in the new study, wrks at Nanyang Technlgical University in Singapre. " Mst f the earlier wrk has been dne in the lab,” Vyas says. But that research can't exactly mimic hw animals experience the effects f Txplasma gndii in their natural habitats. " Such research is almst like studying whale swimming behavir in backyard pls,” Vyas says. "It des nt wrk very well.”

Marine life in the Flrida Keys is negatively affected by tw frces : human activity and climate change. The frmer invlves fishing, turism, and diving, while the latter causes an increase in intense hurricanes. As such, when Flrida museum researchers started lking fr sea urchins （海胆）n the cean flr ff the cast f the Flrida Keys in the summer f 2020, they uncvered sme gd news : Their ppulatin was relatively stable since the 1960s.
The researchers visited 27 sites alng a 20-mile stretch f cast near Lng Key lking fr tracks and hles in the sediment that reflected the presence f burrwing echinids （穴居海胆纲动物）.
“The findings that burrwing echinids have been highly adaptable t climate change and envirnmental pllutin ver the last 60 years were a huge discvery fr us,” says study c-authr Tbias Grun. “Hwever, we knw little abut their current distributin, ppulatin size, and health. The reasn is nt the lack f interest by the scientific cmmunity but lies mre in the nature f the research itself : Fieldwrk is very expensive.”
Grun explains that regular sea urchins are essential t their ecsystems fr cntrlling micrbial cverage. As fr irregular sea urchins that live in sandy and muddy parts-they als have an imprtant rle in the marine ecsystem.
As the climate crisis prgresses, it's imprtant t understand why sme marine creatures are mre adaptable in resisting the impacts f a wrsening envirnment than thers. Grun says evlutin may be at play. " Sme marine animals are very pprtunistic,” he says. “They can tlerate a wide range f abitic factrs like pH and temperature, t name but a few. They are evlutinarily built that way.”
Hwever, Grun warns that being able t survive under certain pr cnditins des nt necessarily mean that ppulatins are stable ver time.
“Our study prvides sme hpe that burrwing echinids are resilient, but this is a tempral （时间的）and gegraphical snapsht and much mre wrk is needed t translate ur findings int a larger scale. The reasns fr their resilience are als widely unknwn.

Despite Ecuadr‘s tugh prtectins, there have been several trtises killed recently. Officials fear the animals have been killed fr their meat.
Fr a century, Ecuadr's beautiful and endangered giant trtises have been prtected. Hunting the trtise is illegal under Ecuadr’s laws. These species are ne f the largest living reptiles and they have the lngest life span f all vertebrates （脊椎动物）一the ldest trtise n recrd was 175 years ld. Trtise meat is cnsidered a delicacy by sme. meaning there can be large financial gains made by wildlife hunters.
“This isn't an islated incident,” the Galapags Cnservancy, a US-based cnservatin rganizatin said. " In September 2021, the remains f 15 endangered giant trtises frm the subspecies Chelnidis guntheri were fund n Isabela. The reptiles had likely been hunted fr cnsumptin.”
In late August, a special unit fr envirnmental crime called UNIMEN traveled t the Galapags Islands t investigate the incident. The islands, lcated arund 600 miles ff Ecuadr’s cast in the Pacific Ocean, are hme t animal and plant species that are fund nwhere else in the wrld.
Their famusly fearless wildlife is believed t have been a surce f inspiratin fr Darwin’s thery f evlutin, fllwing his visit t the islands in 1835. The islands were actually discvered by accident in 1535 when a Spanish ship was blwn ff curse while sailing frm Panama t Peru. Irnically enugh, the ship's captain was unimpressed by the islands, writing t the king that they were “wrthless”. That view, f curse, changed ver time. Nw 25,000 live in the fur inhabited islands f Santa Cruz, Isabela, San Cristbal, and Flreana.
There were nce at least 250,000 trtises n the islands ； there are fewer than 15,000 in the wild tday-and tw subspecies are already extinct. “Evidence frm the 2021 investigatin shwed that the reptiles had likely been hunted fr cnsumptin, the Galapags Cnservancy cntinued. " Many wrry the ppulatin will cntinue t plummet if serius actin isn't taken sn. We must safeguard giant trtises and the ecsystems they depend n.”

In 2020, Rdger Smith and his family were hiking thrugh the Suth African wilderness when they made an incredible discvery. After setting up camp in La vie D'Antan rck shelter in the Langklf Muntains, Smith nticed a strange hrn-shaped bject wrapped in leaves and grass. He tk sme phts, and frwarded them t lcal researchers.
Nw, in a study published in Suth African Jurnal f Science, researchers have revealed that Smith had fund a 500-year-ld medicine hrn cntaining pre-clnial （前殖民时期） herbs.
Justin Bradfield, the study's lead authr and a prfessr f archaelgy at the University f Jhannesburg, said, “It's the first clear evidence in suthern Africa that peple 500 years ag were mixing different ingredients tgether t create a medicinal recipe and had knwledge abut the effects f using certain plants.”
Identifying the hrn was a cmplicated, multi-year prcess. The researchers first cllected it frm the rck shelter, which was cvered in ancient rck art. The team was unable t date the art and culd nt tell if the hrn came frm the same perid. They did, hwever, discver that the hrn had been carefully wrapped and tightly tied with rpe made frm grass. The researchers then cnducted a chemical analysis f the hrn's cntents and identified a number f herbal cmpunds （混合物）.The mst cmmn were mn-methyl insitl and lupel, cmpunds usually fund in lcal plants like the "cancer bush,” s named fr its rumred（谣传的）cancer-healing and antixidant prperties. Researchers believe native peple mixed these plants t treat fevers, heal infectins, and cntrl bld sugar.
The team estimated that the medicine hrn was prbably used between 1461 t 1630 AD, making it the ldest f its kind fund in the regin t date. But researchers were unable t date the herbs. It's pssible that the hrn is lder than its medicinal cntents.
This discvery marks a significant step tward learning mre abut pre-clnial medical knwledge and traditin in suthern Africa frm hundreds f years ag. The hrn ffered us a chance t learn a little mre abut traditinal knwledge f medicine during this early perid.

Back in 2016, the United Natins declared internet access t be a basic human right. “The internet is an equalizer,” says Munga. She nw wrks n technlgy plicy at the Carnegie Endwment fr Internatinal Peace in Washingtn, D. C.
Mre and mre mdem technlgies and internet services, such as Zm, nly wrk well with high-speed internet. Althugh cellular signals （蜂窝信号）can prvide such access, they aren't as reliable as the fiber-ptic cables （光纤电缆）that bring high speeds t much f the wrld. And thse cables still d nt reach many rural areas.
But several new technlgies are helping t finally cnnect these places. Lines f lw-flying satellites can bunce internet signals between Earth and space t link up remte sites. Unused TV channels can carry internet instead f shws. Lasers can even zap （快速传递）internet thrugh the air.
New tech is crucial t bringing gd internet access t thse wh dn't yet have it. But this isn't enugh. Educatin, funding frm gvernments r nn-prfit grups, and cmmunity-led effrts at the lcal level shuld help bring the internet t peple wh lack it. T get everyne nline, tech cmpanies and these ther grups must all wrk tgether.

Archaelgists in Nrway said n Tuesday they had fund a runestne （如尼石刻） which they claim is the wrld's ldest, saying the inscriptins（铭文）are up t 2, 000 years ld and date back t the earliest days f the histry f runic writing.
Runes are the characters in several Germanic alphabets that were used in nrthern Eurpe frm ancient times until the adptin f the Latin alphabet. They have been fund n stnes and different husehld bjects.
Older runes have been fund n ther items, but nt n stnes. The earliest runic find is n a bne cmb fund in Denmark. Kristel Zilmer, a prfessr at University f Osl, said that maybe the tip f a knife r a needle was used t carve the runes.
The flat, square blck f brwnish sandstne has carved scribbles, which may be the earliest example f wrds recrded in writing in Scandinavia, accrding t the Museum f Cultural Histry in Osl. It stated it was “amng the ldest runic inscriptins ever fund “and “the ldest datable runestne in the wrld.”
The runestne was discvered in the fall f 2021 during an excavatin f a grave near Tyrifjrd, west f Osl, in a regin knwn fr several mnumental archaelgical finds. Items in the crematin (火化)pit-burnt bnes and charcal—indicate that the runes likely were inscribed between AD 1 and AD 250.
Measuring 31 centimeters by 32 centimeters (12. 2 inches by 12. 6 inches) , the stne has several types f inscriptins, but nt all make linguistic sense t researchers. Eight runes n the frnt f the stne read “idiberug” 一which culd be the name f a wman, a man r a family.
Zilmer called the discvery the mst sensatinal thing that he, as an academic, has had. There is still a lt f research t be dne n the rck, named the Svingerud stne after the site where it was fund. “Withut dubt, we will btain valuable knwledge abut the early histry f runic writing,” Zilmer said.
1. What d the wrds f archaelgists in Nrway tell us abut the runestne?

Dzens f fssilized teeth and jawbnes unearthed in nrthern Canada belnged t tw species f early primates （灵长类）that lived in the Arctic arund 52 millin years ag, researchers reprted n January 25, 2023 in PLOS ONE, These remains are the first primate fssils ever discvered in the Arctic and tell f a grundhg-sized animal that may have skittered acrss trees in a swamp that nce existed abve the Arctic Circle.
The Arctic was significantly warmer during that time. But creatures still had t adapt t extreme cnditins such as lng winter mnths withut sunlight. These challenges make the presence f primate creatures in the Arctic “incredibly unbelievable,” says cauthr Chris Beard, a palentlgist at the University f Kansas in Lawrence. “N ther primate r primate relative has ever been fund this far nrth s far.”
Fr the new study, Beard and his clleagues examined dzens f teeth and jawbne fssils fund in the area, cncluding that they belng t tw species, Ignacius mckennai and Ignacius dawsnae. These tw species belnged t a nw- extinct genus f small mammals that was widespread acrss Nrth America during the Ecene. The Arctic variants （变种）prbably made their way nrth as the planet warmed, taking advantage f the new habitat pening up near the ple.
Newly arrived Ignacius wuld have had t adapt t these cnditins. Unlike their suthern relatives, the Arctic Ignacius had unusually strng jaws and teeth suited t eating hard fds, the researchers fund. This may have helped these early primates feed n nuts and seeds ver the winter, when fruit wasn't as readily available.
“This research is imprtant because it can shed light n hw animals can adapt t living in extreme cnditins. Ellesmere Island is arguably the best deep time analg（类似物）fr a mild, ice-free Arctic,” says Jaelyn Eberle, a vertebrate palentlgist at the University f Clrad Bulder. Studying hw plants and animals adapted t this remarkable perid in Arctic histry, Beard says, culd ffer clues t the Arctic's future residents.

A.Mst Ignacius culdn't have fruit in summer.B.The suthern Ignacius didn't eat nuts at all.
C.Only a few Ignacius culd survive in the suth.D.The Arctic Ignacius adapted well t the envirnment.
3. Hw des the authr develp the last paragraph?
A.By quting wrds.B.By raising questins.C.By making cmparisns.D.By analyzing statistics.
4. What is the main idea f the text?

The fast-grwing discunt chain pened 49 new stres acrss the cuntry last year-the mst f any grcer, accrding t a reprt by the firm JLL---and it's keeping up that fast pace s far in 2023.
Right nw, the belved grcer, with highly affrdable stre-brand fds is n track t pen at least 26 new and remdeled lcatins this spring, including 18 stres that pened just last mnth. Accrding t the retailer's website, the March penings included 10 states : Alabama, Flrida, Illinis, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missuri, Nrth Carlina, Ohi, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
In April, Aldi has pened stres in tw twns in Upstate New Yrk, Try and Williamsville, with several mre grand penings scheduled fr later this mnth and next.

Plant wners knw just hw difficult it can be t figure ut what plants need, especially when leaves start brwning r wilting （枯萎）.But it turns ut that plants may have been telling yu all alng. A new study fund that when plants are stressed, they send ut specific sunds that identify what’s wrng.
Previus studies had shwn that plants shake when under stress, but fr years, scientists have debated whether thse shaking mvements becme sund waves. By studying tmat and tbacc plants in an acustic chamber（隔音箱） inside a greenhuse, researchers at Tel Aviv University discvered that it's true—plants cry ut fr help thrugh sund waves.
The mre stressed plants were, the mre they screamed. They als fund that after a certain peak f dehydratin, the sunds wuld simply stp. Their findings were published in the jurnal Cell n Thursday.
“Our findings suggest that the wrld arund us is full f plant sunds, and that these sunds cntain infrmatin-fr example abut water shrtage r injury,” researcher Lilach Hadany said. "We assume that in nature the sunds made by plants are sensed by creatures nearby, such as bats, mice, varius insects, and pssibly als ther plants that can hear the high frequencies and get relevant infrmatin.”
But it's nt just small animals and insects that can use this infrmatin, but humans t, Hadany said. All they need is the “right tls一 such as sensrs that tell grwers when plants need watering”.
This culd prve particularly beneficial in the agriculture industry, as researchers nted in their publicatin that “ mre precise irrigatin can save up t 50% f the water expenditure（消耗） and increase the yield”. This ability culd nly get mre imprtant as climate change cntinues t increase the intensity and frequency f drughts and the wrld cntinues t deal with fd security issues.
1. Hw d plants send ut sund waves when under stress?
A.By becming brwn and falling leaves.B.By dancing t the wind frm side t side.
C.By mving with repeated small, quick mvements.D.By gradually bending dwnward and becming weak.
2. Why can sme insects hear the sunds made by plants?
A.They rely n plants t make a living.B.They can live in harmny with plants.
C.They have the capacity t talk with plants.D.They can hear the high-frequency sunds.
3. What culd farmers d with their crps if they culd knw when plants made sunds?
A.They culd make them strng.B.They culd irrigate them precisely.
C.They culd harvest them early.D.They culd help them grw quickly.

Fr years, we have watched presidents’ hair g gray and we used that as empirical （经验主义的）evidence that stress can, indeed, cause gray hair.
But des it?
A recent study cnducted at Clumbia University fund that while n vacatin, gray hair may return t its riginal clr, which suggests a link between stress and gray hair一 with the exciting pssibility that it may be reversible.
While there may nt be a direct link between stress and gray hair, there is strng evidence that suggests stress can lead t varius health and cgnitive （认知的）issues.
Dr Patricia Simne is a cgnitive neurscientist and prfessr f psychlgy at Santa Clara University. The fcus f her research is cgnitive aging, and what factrs influence lng term memry in lder adults and children.
“The real cncern here is prlnged chrnic （长期的）stress,” Simne explains. “Lng-term stress is bad fr ur health, and health challenges make dealing with stress harder,” she ntes. In ther wrds, stress makes ur health wrse, and wrse health makes stress wrse, and it‘s a cycle that's tugh t break.
“Peple wh reprt having experienced mderate t high stress ver the lng term have been shwn t have changes in different brain structures that are imprtant fr memry and cgnitin, adds Simne.
Simne highlights that peple have mre cntrl ver stress and aging than they realize. “It's interesting t nte that it is the view n stress that is imprtant. Hw we ntice a situatin matters. S if we feel we have the resurces t handle the situatin we're less likely t experience chrnic stress. ”
In additin, there are many ways t reduce stress. Accrding t Simne, sme relaxatin techniques are helpful, such as yga, breathing and meditatin. Vlunteering just 2 hurs a week can als help us maintain ur functinal ability and handle stressful situatins.
1. What is believed t be the cause f presidents’ gray hair?
A.Chrnic disease.B.Cgnitive aging.C.Great pressure.D.Unbalanced diet.
2. Hw can peple be affected physically by lng-term high stress?
A.Their appearance can becme less attractive.B. Their muscles can becme less strng.
C.Sme f their bnes can be easier t break.D.Sme f their brain structures can change.
3. Which f the fllwing may Simne agree with?
A.Ding yga can help reduce stress.B.Stress has a direct effect n gray hair.
C.Chrnic stress is beneficial t ur health.D.Peple have n cntrl ver stress and aging.
