Frest prducts are used by us in ur daily lives either directly r indirectly. Think f paper and wd-yur schl textbk, newspaper yur parents read, r the furniture yu are sitting n. Even fr ur medicines and csmetics we depend n frest prducts.
But that is nly ne way f lking at it. In anther sense, frests are habitats fr diverse plant and animal
species; many peple arund the wrld depend n frests fr their livelihd. Frests give us ur rivers, help maintain the water cycle, act as a carbn sink and help prevent sil ersin.

An Italian cmpany has created the wrld’s first underwater farm. The statin named Nem’s Garden cnsists f five bispheres (生物圈) fixed t the bttm f the sea ff the cast f Savna, Italy. They’re being
used t grw strawberries, beans, garlic, and lettuce.
“The main target f this prject is t create ther surces f plant prductin in areas where envirnmental cnditins make it difficult t grw crps thrugh traditinal farming, including lack f fresh water, fertile sil, and extreme temperature changes,” said prject spkespersn Luca Gamberini.
The five bispheres, currently flating between depths f 18 and 36 feet, are cnstantly watched by Ocean
Reef Grup—a diving equipment cmpany—frm a cntrl center n dry land. Accrding t varius news reprts, the plants are watered by drips f water n the inner walls f the bispheres. With a cnstant temperature f 79 degrees day and night, and humidity (湿度) at arund 83 percent, the cnditins are ideal fr plants t grw well.
The high amunt f carbn dixide als encurages grwth.
Ocean Reef president Sergi Gamberini said he came up with the idea f grwing plants underwater during a summer vacatin in Italy. In his wn wrds, he wanted t d smething that’s different and t shw the beauty f the cean. After tw years f failed attempts, they finally were able t get these five bispheres wrking. Their success may lay the fundatin fr a new frm f crp prductin that can be dne withut harming the envirnment.
In fact, the bisphere seems t be attracting wildlife. Octpuses (章鱼) and endangered seahrses are
taking shelter under the structure, while crabs (螃蟹) are climbing up the anchrs and int the greenhuses. Nne f the creatures have damaged the plants s far. “It’s s kind f science-fictin t see these tw different
frms f life interact,” Gamberini said.

C. T prtect sea creatures. D. T find a new way f grwing crps.

and hear the waves, just lying in the bed at hme. 39 S, even if a great inventin is an affrdable price, it’
ll never take the place f the cmmn experience if it is nt real.
40 What we’ll see in the next 50 years is the transitin frm an il-dependent sciety t a new
sciety. Here there’ll be new medicine, cntinued explratin f space, challenges in the climate change, and new inventins that make life a little easier.
Will this change in the next 150 years?
