28、tions at home try to raise the funds to buy them.Mr. Magnier paid 10.3 million for “Portrait of Omai”. Now he wants 50 million for it, a fair value. The National Portrait Gallery (NPG) in London has been trying to raise the cash, but only half the money had been raised. The NPGs answer is to buy the
29、 painting together with the Getty Museum, spending half its time in London and the other half in California.

34、ations(迁徙). In some cases, what they have uncovered is more surprising than they could have predicted.Assessing the progress and its effects is the task of science writer Rebecca Heismans first book Flight Paths, providing a look into the drama behind some biggest discoveries in migration research.I
35、n its nine chapters, Flight Paths soars through the history of migration research, from counting passing birds against the moon in the 1950s to the recent use of wearable trackers.Most people are now familiar with the idea that some birds travel thousands of kilometres seasonally for climate, food o
36、r mates, but the scientists first explaining the phenomenon were often laughed at. Advances in technology are finally allowing research to confirm or debunk those early words.In the 1960s, scientist Ian Nisbet proposed that blackpoll warblers(黑顶白颊林莺) were taking a far more impressive autumn journey
37、than anyone had thought. As Heisman reports, Nisbet believed they were making the long fight from eastern Canada to South American countries such as Colombia and Brazil. Some thought it strange: how could a bird weighing just 12 grams fly so far over the Atlantic Ocean in days of nonstop flying? Fiv
38、e decades later, researchers confirmed Nisbets opinion with a device that uses sunlight to work out a birds place at a given time.Understanding how, why and where birds migrate is more than solving a mystery. Its critical for future conservation efforts. Migratory species are especially at risk beca

In 2019, a study found that North America alone had lost around a quarter of its birdlife since 1970 when they were migrating, which amounts to around 3 billion individual birds. “If we know where birds are going, well have the information w

45、receive a letter from a friend or relative, knowing that someone cares about you, thus enriching a relationship to grow healthily.When I was 12, my mum made me write letters to a few randomly selected relatives.
