2、 By contrast, most of my peers came from generations of college educated family and had grown up in rich, white suburbs. Instead of sharing with others how I was feeling, I isolated myself and thought I could get through it if I just focused on studying. During the weeks leading up to my sophomore y

10、nd inequality. B Tomatoes are the second-most eaten vegetable in the United States, following potatoes. People eat $60 billion worth worldwide every year, which is a lot. But how should tomatoes be stored in your kitchen? Chefs and Italians have long left tomatoes at room temperature, while safety-m
11、inded types use the refrigerator. Now a new study in Frontiers in Plant Science determines once and for all what the best practices are for storage of tomato. Researchers at the University of Gottingen grew a variety of tomatoes and then imitated the commercial three-day harvest-to-consumer storage
12、practices. Once they arrived at “home”, the tomatoes were stored either in the refrigerator or at home temperature and then evaluated by a dozen experienced food assessors. Those assessors were trained at identifying things such as green-grassy smell, tomato-typical smell, tomato-typical flavor, swe
13、etness, sourness, juiciness, firmness, aftertasteThe tomatoes also underwent a great number of analysis, including taste by an “electronic tongue” known as the e-tongue. Their findings: It doesnt matter. No significant differences in flavor were found between refrigerators-stored and counter-stored
14、tomatoes. What matters is how long the tomato is at your house, the variety of the tomato, and the temperature of your refrigerator. The cultivars(品种) had a much higher impact on the flavor than the storage. You should eat them within four days. “The shorter the storage period, the better it is for
15、the flavor and related characteristics,” says the lead author Larissa Kanski, a doctoral candidate in agricultural sciences.

19、 may be the only thing that saves us from ourselves. Im convinced that humans need to leave Earth.” These are the words of the famous scientist Stephen Hawking, spoken at a science festival in Norway in 2017, a year before his death. Hawking was not alone in this view. Many experts feel that the onl
20、y way for humanity to last far into the future is to colonize(移民于) other planets. That way, if a terrible disease, nuclear war or some other disaster strikes Earth, civilization as we know it would still have a chance. Mars is one of the most attractive destinations. NASA, the United Arab Emirates,
21、the private company SpaceX, and the organization Mars One all have plans to send humans there. “Either we spread Earth to other planets, or we risk going extinct,” SpaceX founder Elon Musk said at a conference in 2013. But not everyone agrees that colonizing Mars or any other planet is such a great
22、plan. The most common argument against going is that its just too expensive or dangerous.

Some experts argue that handling a problem like an asteroid(小行星) strike or disease ou
