Yes,

I

it

is.

Once

a

Instead,

visitors

wander in awe, admiring the rain and the artists who created it.

The Rain Room was created to highlight the connection between humans, nature

and technology. With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain

wherever visitors move, it does just that. Light and sound produce an experience

that

feels

natural

and

If Albuquerque Police Officer Ryan Holets had his way, this story would never

have got so much attention. CNN would not have learned that Holets, while on duty,

had agreed to adopt a baby from a homeless drug addict.

Holets values his privacy

（隐私）and didn’t do it for the attention. He did

it just because he knew it was the right thing to do.

On

Sept.

23,

Holets

responded

to

a

call

about

a

possible

theft

from

a

convenience

store in Albuquerque. By the time he arrived, the thief was no longer there, but

Holets spotted a woman in a grassy area behind the store about to inject a needle

into her panion’s arm. The woman, Crystal Champ, was eight months pregnant.

After a short conversation, he learned Champ longed for her child to go to a

good family. Holets offered to do just that.

When

Sergeant

Jim

Edison

learned

what

Holets

did,

he

was

floored.

In

his

10

years

as

a

police

officer,

he

has

seen

many

“heroic

acts”

but

none

l

ike

what

Holets

did,

Edison said.

Edison awarded Holets for his outstanding service for the city, but felt that

wasn’t enough. It’s his job to reward his officers and encourage them to do the

right thing, so Edison signed Holets up to do an interview for C

NN’s “Beyond the

Call of Duty” series without telling him.

“Every

day

Edison

calls

me

to

ask

for

forgiveness,”

Holets

said

laughing.

“And

I keep assuring him that we’re fine. We didn’t quite realize it would get this

response,

and

neither

did

he.

But

we

al

l

realize

it’s

a

really

good

thing,

and

some

really good things can e of

it

.”

One of Holets’s conditions when he agreed to CNN’s interview was that his

5

/

20

superiors

would

not

set

up

a

GoFundMe

page

for

his

family.

“We

don’t

want

anybody

to

say

we’ve

used

this

occasion

to

enrich

ourselves,”

Holets

said.

He

instead

urges

those

who

want

to

offer

support

to

donate

to

a

local

drug

recovery

center

or

organization.

Indonesia

is

home

to

four

of

the

world’s

worst

polluted

rivers

and

ranks

second

when it es to plastic waste. Since single-use packaging is a large contributor to

the

problem,

Evoware,

an

Indonesian-based

pany

decided

to

handle

that

issue

first.

And now a kind of edible

（可食用的）

packets has been invented.

After investigating various material options, the pany settled on seaweed.

Seaweed

does

not

require

resources

like

water,

or

large

amounts

of

space.

According

to

Evoware,

as

much

as

40

tons

of

seaweed

can

be

grown

in

an

area

the

B.

his

field. It also helps absorb harmful greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. Since

Indonesian

farmers already harvest

more

seaweed than they can sell, it

is easy

for

the pany to find the material.

Though they will not make public their production process, Evoware announces

the seaweed

packaging contains

no chemicals and

is safe

to consume. In

addition to

wrapping fast food items, it can also be used to house things like instant noodle

seasoning

（调味品）

and instant coffee.

Though

the

edible

wrappers

may

not

have

any

taste,

the

same

cannot

be

said

about

the single-use cups that the pany has also invented. The single-use cups that can

be used to serve cold drinks are available with the taste of orange and green tea.

While replacing plastic with the seaweed products may seem like a no- brainer

to

most

of

us,

it

is

a

hard-

sell

in

Indonesia.

According

to

Christian,

“The

awareness,

understanding, and sense of urgency to minimize the use of single-use plastic are

still very low.” Also a factor is the cost, which is higher than using plastic.

Hopefully,

Evoware

will

succeed

in

convincing

Indonesians,

and

people

worldwide,

that switching to their products will go a long way in protecting our beautiful

planet.

28. What is Evoware’s purpose of inventing eatable packages?

A. To make full use of seaweed.

C. To attract more customers.

The researchers from the University of Liverpool have now spotted smoke rings

in the ocean which have the power to suck in the small marine creatures and have

the potential to carry them at high speed for a long distance.

In

the

ocean,

the

vast

eddies

（旋涡）

span

up

to

hundreds

of

kilometers

across

and

are

a

mon

event

relatively.

But

now,

to

the

researchers’

surprise,

these

giant

eddies

（

which were na

med “smoke rings” later）

were spotted spinning

（旋转）

in

opposite

directions,

travelling

up

to

ten

times

the

speed

of

the

normal

eddies.

The

smoke rings are cut in half by the sea surface due to which the researchers could

see the two ends of the half ring on the sea surface.

Described in a research paper published in the journal Geophysical Research

Letters,

the

smoke

rings

were

discovered

by

analyzing

sea

level

measurements

together

with

sea

surface

temperature

images

from

the

same

time

and

place

taken

from

satellites.

“What

we

found

was

a

pair

of

eddies

spinning

in

opposite

directions

and

linked

to

each

other

so

that

they

traveled

together

all

the

way

across

the

Tasman

Sea,

taking

six months to do it,’’ shared Chris Hughes, lead author of the study published

i

n the journal Geophysical Research Letters. “The smoke rings require an area of

calm water to expand, which itself is quite unusual. I have looked at other areas

of other oceans but I have only seen them in the oceans around Australia, plus one

in the Sout

h Atlantic,” he added.

The

smoke

rings

require

a

calm

water

area

to

form,

which

is

quite

unique

in

itself.

The

team

said

that

there

are

still

a

lot

of

things

that

they

need

to

understand

about

how these linked eddies turn into one. They guess that these eddies might join up

32. What has made the researchers amazed?

A. The vast eddies can span up to hundreds of kilometers.

B. The giant eddies spin in opposite directions.

C. The smoke rings e into being on the sea surface.

D. The smoke rings have killed so many marine creatures.

33. How did the researchers find the “smoke rings”？

A. By taking a close look at the sea surface.

C. By analyzing the data from the satellites.

level movements.

34. What does Chris Hughes’ words imply in the text?

A. The Atlantic Ocean is too rough to create smoke rings.

B. The birth of smoke rings needs a unique setting.

C. No one actually knows where the eddies form.

D. Smoke rings appear across the South Atlantic.

A. Smoke rings threatening marine creatures.

C. The formation of smoke rings.
