32、to test CO levels.The device, which the team also calls a glider, is designed to go down to 1,000 meters in deep ocean areas and can operate for weeks at a time.The purpose of the research is to provide scientists with data (数据) about how climate change is influencing the oceans chemistry. The self-
33、swimming drone was placed in the Gulf of Alaska this spring. Reporters from The Associated Press recently joined researchers on a boat in Alaskas Resurrection Bay to see the drone in action.The team says the project could be a major step forward in measuring(测量) the environmental health of oceans.

Ocean acidification can harm or kill some kinds of sea life.Scientists have connected CO emissions with global(全球) warming caused by human activities.I

43、t people think. It is hurting about 280 million people around the world, according to WHO.Though depression is worrying, we dont have to be afraid of it. Depression can be treated by getting professional(专业的) help, taking medicine or a mixed treatment of both. In fact, when you begin to feel the dan
44、ger of depression, you can try to deal with it early by yourself. Listening to music, doing some sports and drawing some pictures might help you feel better. Another useful way is talk therapy.
