19、recognized that farming practices needed to change.She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops,using new technolo-gies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers(肥料)rather than chemi-cals.In 2012,

25、olding back the Sahara D.Fighting Poverty in North Africa C For years,David James,who studies insects at Washington State University,had wanted to ex-amine the migration(迁徙)patterns of West Coast monarch butterflies(黑脉金斑蝶).The route the butterflies travel has been hardly known because the population
26、s are too small to follow.For every 200 monarchs tagged(打标签)by a researcher,only one is usually recovered at the end of its trip,James says,and finding even 200 in the wild to tag is unlikely.Knowing the route is vital to conser-vation efforts,but James had no way to figure it out-until he got a pho
27、ne call from Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla.The prison was looking for new activities to improve the mental health of those serving long-term sentences.So James began working with prisoners to raise monarchs through the whole process of their transformation.The adult insects were then
28、tagged and released from the prison.Over five years,nearly 10,000 monarchs flew from the facility.Elsewhere in Washington,Oregon and Idaho,research-ers released another few thousand.The tags included email addresses,and soon after the first butterflies took off,James started re-ceiving messages from

35、eptions of interruptions.She had participants listen to audio clips and then answer questions about whether the speakers seemed to be friendly and engaged,listening to one another,or trying to interrupt.Hilton found that American English speakers have different conversational styles.She identified t
36、wo distinct groups:high and low intensity speakers.High intensity speakers are generally uncomfort-able with moments of silence in conversation and consider talking at the same time a sign of engage-ment.Low intensity speakers find it rude to talk at the same time and prefer people speak one after a
37、nother in conversation.The differences in conversational styles became evident when participants listened to audio clips in which two people spoke at the same time but were agreeing with each other and stayed on topic,Hilton said.The high intensity group reported that conversations where people spok
38、e at the same time when expressing agreement were not interruptive but engaged and friendlier than the conversations with moments of silence in between speaking turns.In contrast,the low intensity group perceived any amount of simultaneous(同时)chat as a rude interruption,regardless of what the speake
39、rs were saying.“People care about being interrupted,and those small interruptions can have a massive effect on the overall communication,Hilton said.“Breaking apart what an interruption means is essential if we want to understand how humans interact with each other.”32.What does Hiltons research foc

44、 have been swimming in our oceans for hundreds of millions of years.The problem1 is emphasized by the fact that the decline in numbers happened in less than twenty years.Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years.38 The average size of such fish also declined,with o
