19、rse. C Most people know something about the greenhouse effect. Factories send gases such as carbon dioxide, or CO2, into the atmosphere, the air around the earth. In the past, this wasnt a problem because trees absorbed the CO2. But now people in many countries are cutting down billions of trees all
20、 around the world. At the same time, factories are sending more CO2 into the atmosphere. Its difficult to believe, but factories put billions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere every year. One ton is over 2000 pounds, so it is a lot of pollution. There is too much CO2 and there arent enough trees, s
21、o the world is getting warmer. In other words, we have a greenhouse effect. This is terrible for the environment. What can we do about this? First, we can stop using so much coal and oil. We can learn to use different kinds of energy: the sun, wind, steam from volcanoes, and heat from inside the ear

Thanks to cheap air tickets, travelling abroad is very easy and sometimes its even cheaper to fly out of t
32、he country than to travel within your own. So, yes, travelling is cheap but there have to be other reasons to travel and youre right. There are plenty of reasons! I have always had this feeling of wanderlust. It started from me wanting to explore my local woods at the back of my garden as a young gi
33、rl and as I have grown, so has my sense of adventure. And I found my local woods being replaced with the Brazil wetland, Pantanal, where I went last summer in search of jaguars, snakes and crocodiles. The thing with travelling is that its always different. Even if you went to the same country, to th
34、e same town and stayed in exactly the same hotel, it would be a completely different experience. The people you meet will be different, and they will tell you their own travelling stories: stories of holiday romances, holiday worries and stories that seem so outrageous that you can hardly believe th
35、em until something similar happens to you. Or maybe the difference is you? Maybe you have changed since last time you were there? And thats the thing with travellingit changes you. When you travel you are forced to experience a new culture. Whether its eating a guinea pig, or staying with a family w
36、here neither of you speak a common language and you have to communicate through hand actions and smiles, the experience gives me itchy feet to do it all again. And although wanderlust is a German word, the English idiom “to have itchy feet” has a similar idea. Someone who has itchy feet needs to lea

41、ical research happens in Europe. Genetic(基因的) research in a continent where genetic diversity is high, like Africa, can give us a better understanding of why people get certain diseases. 2 A new study helps us understand genetic distinctions in different regions and groups of people. It also shows h
42、ow humans moved across Africa thousands of years ago. This study took around two and a half years to complete. A team of scientists worked with doctors and experts across Africa and took genetic samples from 1,481 people from 18 groups in central and southern Africa. 3 Imagine a bottle filled with l
43、ittle stones. All the stones are different shapes, colors and sizes. One or two fall out, move to different places and create new stones that look the same. The stones left in the bottle are Africas population, which is why Africa has the most diverse population in the world. The one or two stones t
44、hat fell out and created new stones are the populations of other parts of the world. They are less diverse. This is what happened about 80 to 100 thousand years ago, when some people left Africa and travelled to Europe and Asia. 4 Many events in history have joined different groups together and chan
45、ged the genetic map of the continent. One of the biggest events happened with a language group in Africa called the Bantu. Around 70 percent of Africans belong to this group. They were farmers who moved across Africa around 5,000 years ago. When they moved, they often mixed with local people. Geneti
46、c research also shows that some Europeans and Asians might have moved back to Africa 9,000 years ago. 5 One of the main results of the study is that large genetic research projects in Africa that dont cost too much money have been made possible. More studies could help us understand different diseas
47、es better, but this might take a long time. It may be half a century before we can get direct health benefits, but starting the investment in this research now could have big benefits, too. If we understand the genetic map of Africa, we can understand diseases that affect Africans better. And this m
