In March 2016, under her husbands suggestion, Li quit her job and jo

27、ined her husbands company, which specializes in 3D wall and ground paintings.Wall painting is a demanding job because it requires people to work outdoors, whether in extremely cold or hot weather.

34、ssible to the man who will try.CVast underwater meadows (草甸) of gently waving sea grass cover hundreds of miles up and down the West Coast. These blue-green fields perform a variety of important services. They protect the shoreline from erosion, clear pollutants from the water and provide habitats f

35、or all kinds of marine animals.New research suggests sea grass meadows may also mitigate a serious consequence of greenhouse gas emissions: the steady acidification of ocean waters. The study published in the journal Global Change Biology finds that sea grass forests can raise pH levels in coastal w

36、aters. As they perform photosynthesis (光合作用), they remove carbon dioxide from the water, counteracting the acidifying effect of the gas.“I think we are all very excited about it,” said lead study author Aurora Ricart, a scientist at the Bigelow Laboratory for Marine Sciences.Ocean acidification is a

37、 side effect of rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Some of this CO2 dissolves out of the air and into the sea, causing a chemical reaction that lowers the waters pH. Scientists sometimes refer to it as global warmings “evil twin”an invisible companion to climate change.Ocean acidificati

38、on can have harmful effects on marine organisms like shellfish and coral by preventing them from properly forming the hard shells they need to survive. Its a threat both to natural ecosystems and to shellfish fisheries around the world. The study presents a natural way to address the problem.Researc

39、hers analyzed six years of data from sea grass meadows spanning more than 600 miles off the California coastline. It focused on the common eelgrass, one of the most widespread sea grass species on the West Coast. The authors claim its the largest, most comprehensive study of its kind.According to th

40、e study, sea grass ecosystems can raise pH levels by more than 0.1 unit, equivalent to about a 30% decrease in acidity. The effect isnt constant. It comes in waves and is influenced by temperature, daylight, ocean currents and other factors that affect water chemistry and sea grass photosynthesis ra

41、tes. But the tempering influence on acidification can be lasting, sometimes persisting for up to three weeks at a time. The study also shows that pH is higher in sea grass ecosystems, compared to nearby areas with no sea grass, about 65% of the time.The study didnt investigate the effects of higher

42、pH on marine organisms thats a question for future research. But theres reason to believe these meadows may have a positive influence on shellfish and other ocean animals.28.

45、llution.D. To introduce a natural way to solve the problem of ocean acidification.DWhen special occasions such as birthdays or other big holiday events come around, parents often look for that special toy for their children. But there is a growing understanding that gifts of time and bonding, such a

46、s vacations and other experiences, make better and more lasting gifts for children.Experts agree that gifting children with memorable trips and fun experiences is better for their body and mind, and has corresponding positive impacts on the rest of the family!In a 2017 study that surveyed about 500

47、women between 18 and 93 years old, Dr. Oravecz, a human development and family studies professor at Pennsylvania State University, asked, “Most people feel loved when.” The study showed that the most popular answers had nothing to do with any material item. Dr. Oravecz said, “Our research found that

48、 micro-moments of positivity, like a kind word, a hug with a child or a sympathetic expression, make people feel most loved.”Clinical psychologist Oliver James agrees. He stated that as opposed to toys, details from a trip are more likely to “stick with them for long after the vacation ends.” When families interact in a stress-free environment, this creates warm, generous feelings towards one another, which are likely to be remembered with fondness. Vacations crea
