Hsia als revealed the life lessns fencing has taught her, saying, “Persistence is key and lsing is ne f the best ways t learn.”

Much f the methane(甲烷) in air cmes frm human activities. But methane has natural surces t. Micrbes(微生物) in wetland sils and trees als release methane.
Vincent Gauci, an envirnmental scientist, knew the trees in wet places, like the trpics, give ff methane frm their trunks. Then, he wanted t study its release frm trees in drier sils. “We were surprised t see the exact ppsite,” says Gauci. The trees were actually taking in methane.
Trees taking in and releasing gases is gas exchange. Researchers typically measure methane exchange lw n the trunk, near the grund. But Gauci's team measured higher up n the tree, thinking this wuld better estimate hw much methane the whle tree might send ut.
Gauci's tw students measured methane release frm trees in the UK and Panama,setting up a gas-exchange chamber n a tree t mnitr hw much methane it's absrbing r sending ut. They expected methane emissins wuld drp as they measured higher up the trunk. Their guess at first seemed t hld. Higher up the trunk, methane release dipped. But at chest height, the numbers drpped belw zer— here, trees were absrbing methane.
T further check their findings, the team analyzed trees frm fur regins— Brazil,Sweden, Panama and the UK. The result was the same at all sites. Overall, the trees tk up mre methane than they released. Using data frm the fur sites, the team estimated all the wrld's frests may be absrbing 50 millin tns f methane every year.
The scientists believe methane is taken in by micrbes that live in tree bark. On average,trees absrbed mre methane than they released, with faster uptake in warmer climates.
Gauci says, “Peple release far mre methane than what nature can remve. S we have t cut back n fssil fuels. Trees are even mre imprtant fr climate than we thught. We must be aware f the need fr immediate actin t safeguard this vital natural resurce.”
28. What aspect f the research surprised Gauci?
A. Its findings. B. Its prcess. C. Its thery. D. Its functins.
29. What can we learn frm the research?
A. Its data was measured glbally.
B. It was dne by Gauci and his cwrkers.
C. Its participants were the same as befre.
D. It invlved methds different frm typical nes.
30. What des Gauci stress in the last paragraph?
A. Trees can remve all methane. B. Prtecting trees is crucial.
C. Methane has n natural surces. D. Methane is imprtant t climate.
31. Which f the fllwing may be the best title fr the text?
A. Trees may be big climate heres
B. Gauci fund ut trees’ grwth secret
C. Researchers studied trees in fur areas
D. Micrbes can release and absrb methane

Precisin agriculture represents a crucial advancement in cntemprary farming. One innvative applicatin emplys real-time imaging t visualize hw tiny drps f liquid are frming n plant surfaces. Different frm cnventinal agriculture where farmers ften rely n general estimates and applicatin f pesticides (杀虫剂) acrss the entire field, this technlgy helps farmers maximize prductivity while minimizing inputs.
This develpment riginated frm the wrk f Vishnu Jayaprakash, wh had sme family expsure t the prcess f spraying (喷洒) crps and recgnized that the main challenge in that prcess is hw t make water-based sprays interact effectively with surfaces f plants, which is influenced by varius factrs including the design f the device, the temperature, wind and ther cnditins at the time f spraying.
T effectively address this issue, Jayaprakash develped a tw-camera system. It can be cnnected t typical spraying equipment and use imaging f the spraying slutin n the target plants t determine what adjustments are needed. The system can be used t make changes in rder t get the spray cverage “just right.” This allws farmers t use nly 20-30% f the prduct per acre (英亩) while maintaining key functins like pest cntrl, fertilizatin, and grwth regulatin. The advancement in precisin agriculture is helping farmers reduce csts while maintaining crp prtectin.
Susan Scheufele, a researcher at the University f Massachusetts, has cnducted field trials with this technlgy n vegetable crps. In trials fr remving cttn leaves, it has shwn psitive results even when used at 50% f the minimum applicatin rate that is recmmended n the prduct label.
The primary benefit f precisin agriculture methds lies beynd cst savings. Despite the fact that this technlgy still has a lng way t g, its adptin ensures that chemical remains in crps are well belw harmful levels, safeguarding ecsystems and fd safety.
32. Why is the real-time imaging technlgy adpted?
A. T check plant grwth.
B. T replace pesticide use.
C. T imprve prductivity.
D. T increase the farmland.
33. Hw des Jayaprakash’s tw-camera system address the challenge?
A. By chsing varius spraying equipment.
B. By calculating the amunt f pesticide required.
C. By making adjustments t enhance spray efficiency.
D. By using imaging t mnitr the temperature and wind.
34. What can be the cnclusin f Susan Scheufele’s field trials?
A. The technlgy is wrkable with less csts.​
B. The technlgy is useless fr remving leaves.
C. The technlgy is nly suitable fr sme plants.
D. The technlgy needs t be used at the given rate.
35. What is the authr’s attitude tward precisin agriculture?
A. Tlerant. B. Favurable. C. Disapprving. D. Dismissive.

The wall calendar still shwed January. Its yellwed pages were curling, just like dry leaves. An pen rder bk lay n the desk. February’s page was empty. There had been n new rders since mid-January.

“Timmy, my frmer student,” Grandfather smiled, tuching the curve f the spn in the pht. “Nw he designs furniture fr tall buildings. Last mnth’s newspaper had an article abut his curved stairs. It was inspired by this very spn.” He tapped the pht, adding, “Machines make things fast, but hands remember stries.”
Clara lked at the pht—the curved spn, Timmy’s smile, and Grandpa’s yung handwriting n the back: Timmy’s first repair, age 7. Beside her, fresh wd shavings were shining. “Stries must be tld,” Clara murmured, taking ut her phne again. This time, she aimed t share nt just the wrk, but the stry behind it.
