19、ment with biodiversity benefits, something thats good for the environment.Tim Treuer is an ecologist at Princeton University. and hes talking about a unique conservation story. It started in the early 1990s, when an orange juice producer cal led Del Oro set up a company near the Guanacaste Conservat

20、ion Area in Costa Rica, a region that contains several national parks and a widlife protection zone.Del Oro needed somewhere to dump the orange peels, and the company also owned forested land next to the parkland that it had no intention of growing crops on. So a deal was struck: if Del Oro donated

21、its forested land, it could dump orange peel waste on degraded(退化的) land within the conservation area. Then a thousand dump trucks worth of orange peels were lying on the land in 1998. “And within about six months the orange peels had been turned from orange peels into this thick black rich soil.”“I

22、 couldnt even find the site the fist time I saw it.” He couldnt find it because, over 16 years, the orange peel waste had sent the land on a journey to become a vine-choked jungle, with three times the diversity of tree species of the neighboring control plot, richer soil and a much thicker covering

23、. In other words, the experiment was a success. The results appear in the journal Restoration Ecology.Treuer says perhaps this lesson could be applied elsewhere. “Its a shame that we live in a world with nutrient-limited degraded ecosystems and also nutrient-rich waste streams. Wed like to see those

24、 things come together a little bit. Thats not license for any agricultural company to just start dumping their waste products on protected areas, but it does mean that land managers, people involved with industrial-scale agricultural operations should start thinking about ways to do thoughtful exper

28、 to Protect Tropical Forests Effectively23（8分） A few weeks ago, I called an Uber to take me to the Boston airport for a flight home for the holidays. As I slid into the back seat of the car, the warm intonations(语调) of the drivers accent washed over me in a familiar way.I learned that he was a recen

29、t West African immigrant with a few young children, working hard to provide for his family. I could relate: I am the daughter of two Ethiopian immigrants who made their share of sacrifices to ensure my success. I told him I was on a college break and headed home to visit my parents. Thats how he fou

30、nd out I go to Harvard. An approving eye glinted at me in the rearview window, and quickly, we crossed the boundaries of rider and driver. I became his daughter, all grown up the product of his sacrifice.And then came the fateful question: “What do you study?” I answered “history and literature” and

31、 the pride in his voice faded, as I knew it might. I didnt even get to add “and African-American studies” before he cut in, his voice thick with disappointment, “All that work to get into Harvard, and you study history?”Here I was, his daughter, squandering the biggest opportunity of her life. He we

32、nt on to deliver the age-old lecture that all immigrant kids know. We are to become doctors (or lawyers, if our parents are being generous) to make money and send money back home. The unspoken demand, made across generations, which my Uber driver laid out plainly, is simple: Fulfill your role in the

33、 narrative(故事) of upward mobility so your children can do the same.I used to feel anxious and backed into a corner by the questioning, but now as a junior in college, Im grateful for their support more than anything. This holiday season, Ive promised myself I wont huff and get annoyed at their inqui

37、one day become a thing? Lopifit is an unusual means of transportation that allows you to power an electric bicycle by walking on a treadmill.Lopifit founder Bruin Bergmeester says it all started when he asked himself the question. How can I use a treadmill outdoors? He eventually came up with a desi

38、gn, to which he added an electric engine, and Lopifit was born. The treadmill bicycle is similar to a typical electric bicycle in that the motor only works when the rider puts power in as well. The Lopifit senses it when you walk on the treadmill and uses the motor to turn a drive chain at the back

39、part of the treadmill, helping you reach a top speed of 17 miles per hour.To use the Lopifit, simply turn on the battery and use your feet to slide the treadmill backwards and activate (激活) the motor.

The unique treadmill bicycle became available this year, and Lopifit is struggling to keep up with demand, despite the high price tag of $ 2,115.But despite having a very loyal fan-base of so-called Lopifitters, the creative means of transportation al

42、so has naysayers who simply consider the invention stupid and unnecessary. They basically believe that if youre going to walk, you might as well do it the old-fashioned way.

Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them.During exper

46、iments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both sides chose to snack on the same treats. And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.The reason is thought to be so-called similarity att

47、raction theory where people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits to themselves. But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship. Researchers atChicagoUniversityin theUSconducted a series of experiments to examine foods role in earning trust.In a test, participants were told to watch TV where someone pretending to be a member
