10、 session.When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议)parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading.

But researchers say a combination of farming methods may help.Researchers wonder how to increase production without necessarily clearing more land to

16、 grow additional crops. American researchers say that can happen with greater use of an agricultural system called perennation. It mixes food crops with trees and perennial plants those that return year after year.Soil scientist John Reganold says, “One of the major problems is that the soils are fa

17、irly poor in most of the regions. So how do you grow food on poor soils? There have to be food production systems that can build the soil and improve the field. ”Mr. Reganold says poor soils may have resulted from years of weathering that washed away many nutrients. He says some farmers may have don

18、e more harm than good.“They have been actually using farming practices where theyre not putting in organic matter. Theyre not putting in fertilizers. They cant afford those things. And it just runs the soil down. So theyre worsening the situation.“The scientist says the word perennation defines thre

19、e systems that are already used in Africa. The oldest of the three is called evergreen agriculture. This is where farmers plant trees with their crops.

21、rong sunlight.John Reganold says he knows of one woman who has had great success with perennation.“Shes a grandmother in her fifties.

28、ngs are like a vast puzzle.The Nazca Lines are the most outstanding group of geoglyphs in the world. There are also huge geoglyphs in Egypt, Malta, United States (Mississippi and California), Chile, Holivia and in other countries. But the Nazca geoglyphs, because of their numbers, characteristics, d

29、imensions and cultural continuity as they were made and remade throughout a certain history period, form the most impressive archeological (考古学的) group.The Nazca plain is unique for its ability to preserve the markings upon it, due to the combination of the climate (one of the driest on Earth, with

30、only twenty minutes of rainfall per year) and the flat, stony ground which minimizes the effect of the wind at ground level. With no dust or sand to cover the plain and little rain or wind to erode (腐蚀) it, lines drawn here tend to stay drawn. These factors, combined with the existence of lighter-co
