Valuing and Protecting the Great Outdoors

Anyone that is keen on getting out into natureknows that the untouched beauty of the outdoors will only remain that way ifpeople respect the environments they visit.

(21) (ensure)that this happens, the Leave No Trace Centerfor Outdoor Ethics has come up with a framework of seven principles for peopleto follow. These principles can beapplied(22) oneishikingtoaremotecampsiteorenjoying a localpark.

TheLeaveNoTraceprinciplesofferguidelinesfor(23) people can leave aminimal impact in the areas they explore. While most relate to correct behaviorfor when people are outdoors, the first principle is about planningahead.(24) you head out on an adventure, preparation isessential. Adequate planning helps keep you and your group safe. A littleresearch will also give you a basic understanding of the environmentyou(25) (visit).

The other rules to follow when youare outdoors are quite simple. You shouldalways walk on proper trails and stayat(26) (mark)campsites. Everything you bring with you into an areaneeds(27) (bring)back out. Of course,this meanstrash like plastic bags and bottles, but it also includes leftovers and foodscraps. Further, when you leave a nature area, you should leave what you find.That is, don't take(28) from the trail like flowers or rockswith you.

You should also minimize campfires. It is actually best to carry a portablestove when you go camping. If you are making fires, it is vital that you makesure the fire is out before youleave.

Heartbreak:Romantic Metaphor(比喻)or Serious Health Condition

It is an unfortunate fact of lifethat most of us will experience the sensation commonly known as"heartbreak" at some point in our lifetime. Heartbreak refers tofeelings of extreme sadness, often persistent, due to a(n)(31) _disturbing event. The term "heartbreak" or "broken heart"is usually used in a symbolicsense.

That is, when we say someone is"heartbroken," we do not mean that their heart hasactually(32) . However,whatmanypeopledonotknowisthatso-called brokenheartsyndrome（综合症）, oftencausedbystress,isarecognized(33)

healthcondition.

Much like when people make metaphorical(34) toheartbreak, broken heartsyndromeisalsocausedbypainfullifeevents.Theseexperiencesusually(35)

death, divorce, or separation. However, this condition can have veryreal negative effects on a sufferer's health. In clinical settings, brokenheart syndrome is often(36) with a heart attack because many of thesymptoms of these two conditions arevery similar. The main differenceis that while a heart attack is (37)

byablockageinoneoftheheart'sarteries（动脉）, brokenheartsyndrome

involves temporary enlargement in one area ofthe heart. Such enlargement makes it difficult for the heart tocontinue(38) bloodaround the body and thus puts the sufferer at risk of heart failure.

If you have experienced a stressfulor painful event,two(39) symptoms of broken heart syndrome to watchout for are chest pain and breathing difficulties. In fact,(40) oneor both of these symptoms can be vital in helping you seek necessary treatment in the earlystages of thiscondition.

The material engineer’ssearch to finda(n)(45) solutionto control plastic pollution began in 2017. She quit her job as a data analystat a local chemical factory and set up a small lab in her mother’s backyard.

She says, “I wanted to use my education in applied physics and materialengineering to do something about the problem of plastic waste pollution. But Iwas very(48) that the solution had to be practical,sustainable, and affordable.

passage you have just read.

(A)

MY GARDEN IS MY REFUGE; I find reflective isolation in it. I haveseven children, so our house is a scene of lively confusion. For a long time, Iguarded this placeofpeaceandquiet.Whenthechildrenfollowedmeintothegarden,Iwouldhand out chores. “Here: you weed the beans, you water theonions." Soon they would behotor their backs would hurt from bending over,and they would leave me tomyself.

Then one day, I wastrying to prepare the soil, and I honestly wasn't enjoying my time of peace andloneliness. My 13-year-old son, Josiah, picked up a spare spade and beganhelping. Working as a team, we had the pea patch dug up and fertilized in notime at all. I thanked Josiah, realizing that l had enjoyed his company.

The same thing happenedwith picking up rocks and planting the seeds --one or twoofthechildrenwouldappeartowatchandthenparticipate.Eachtime,Iwouldfeel surprised to find the work waslighter for their help, and their laughter made time pass faster.SoIstoppedresentingtheircompanyandinsteadIbegantosharemygardeningsecrets. As spring became summer and the real work began, I expected thechildren to disappear, but no, there they were, watering, pulling weeds andchecking forinsects.

One day I slipped out bymyself to the garden, feeling a little bit guilty. I had a suspicion that thesugar snap peas were ripe, and I wanted a taste. As I walked along the row, alittle voice piped up behind me. "What are you eating, Mama?"

Abby's big blue eyes sparkled as I showed her how to pull thestrings off and pop

（剥出）thepeasintohermouth.Shejustlovedhowtastytheywere. Thenmysweetseven-year-old girl put me to shame. "Mama, I've got to pick a bunch. Won't theothers love them? I can't wait toshare."

I realized how selfish Ihad been. I'd tried to keep the joys of gardening to myself, and here was achild who couldn't wait to share with her brothers and sisters. I held backtearsandsaid,"Sure,honey,let'spicksomeandI'llshowyouhowtopreparethem. We'll make the mostwonderfulsupper."

In recent years, massivewildfires have destroyed landscapes and endangered people and animals in theUS, Australia and Greece. These disasters have led toscores of deaths, and there is a growing scientific agreementthat destructive wildfires will become more frequent as the planet continues towarm.

The statistics show thatcasualties, as well as the area of land burned, around the worldareincreasingyearby year. ThatpromptedKamilarisandhiscolleaguestobuildamobile appthatprovidespersonalisedevacuation（撤离）routestoanyonecaught in the path of awildfire.

The app connects over mobile networks to a web server runninga fire simulation

（ 模 拟 ）program, which uses publiclyavailable data on geography, weatherand vegetation type to predict the spread of fires at 15-minute intervals.

A fire management toolsimilar to those already in use lets local fire departments quickly tag whenand where a fire starts, which is then used to generate real-time simulations.The app then takes the GPS location of each user to work out potential routes,selecting the best by weighing up how quickly each route gets them to safetyagainst how close it takes them to the fire’s path.

The best option is thendisplayed either as turn-by-turn directions or as a route overlaid on a map ofthe area similar to those used by popular maps apps.

In a small pilot programat the Athalassa National Forest Park in Cyprus, all 17 people who took partsuccessfully escaped a simulated fire. In questionnaires they answeredafterthetrial,theparticipantssaidtheappwaseasytouseandthattheywould use it in a realwildfire.

But Ed Galea, a fire safety expert, worries that theroute-planning algorithm（运

算 法 则 ）in the study is too simple to deal with thecomplexities of a real-world evacuation, such as varying travel speeds orpotential congestion on escape routes.

And while fire andevacuation models can help experts plan or respond to emergencies, he thinkseven state-of-the-art systems have limitations that currently make them unsafein the hands of untrained people.

“That is not to say thatthe goal of having a personalised wildfire evacuation guidance system is notachievable” he says. “Just not today.”

Kamilaris admits the appstill needs work and says the researchers plan to add features, like theability to tailor travel speed and monitor users to prevent congestion, beforetesting again in more challenging situations.

Anyone expecting thearrival of spring was bitterly disappointed last week, as freezing temperaturesand disruptive（破坏性的） snow swept across theUK. (67)

TheBeast from the East is a wintry storm caused by a major weather eventin the NorthPole.(68) Becauseit was weakened, cold air fromSiberia, in Russia, swept in over Europe, bringing with it low temperatures andsnowstorms. From 26 February, peoplearound the country endured temperatures as low as-12 ℃ and some areas were toldto expect as much as 20 centimetres ofsnowfall.

(69) It was the first red snow alert ever to beissued in the UK. At least 2,000 schools in England were forced to close. Zoosaround the country also shut in order to keep the animals safe and warm.Supermarkets reported queuesofpeoplewaitingtostockuponsupplies.AspokespersonfortheCo-opsupermarketsaid it was usual to see sales increasein extreme weather.

A Brief Introduction of Cryptocurrency

In2008,someone, orperhapsagroupofpeople,usingthenameSatoshiNakamoto publishedapapertoanonlinegroupthatdiscussedcryptography(密码学). Thatpaperdescribed a process that would use cryptography to create a secure electroniccash system,nowknownasacryptocurrency（加密货币）. Persontopersonpayments could be made online using ashared network of computers instead of a bank or other financial institutions.Each transaction could happen very quickly.The shared network ofcomputerswouldalsoserveasthemeanstoverify（核实）thosetransactionssafely. Getting ridof the need for a centralized banking system would open up the possibility foranyone to become part of the digitaleconomy.

The software behindcryptocurrency is open source, which means anyone can use the original code tocreate their own version. Today, thereare well over a thousand different cryptocurrencies. Unfortunately, theirbecoming the global payment systems are held back by problems affecting theentire cryptocurrency industry. Oneissue is weaksecurityoncryptocurrencywebsiteswhereuserseitherstoretheirelectroniccash invirtual"wallets"orexchangeonekindofelectroniccashforanother.Inrecentyears, clever thieves have broken intomany of these websites and stolen electronic cash.The websites are struggling to protect their users from suchthefts.

Another problem is thelarge number of fake cryptocurrencies that are advertised on the internet. Theadvertisements invite internet users to visit websites offering newcryptocurrencies. Many visitors are persuaded by the websites to buy theircryptocurrencies using actual money. Later, the websites disappear along withthe victims' money. In response to this problem, companies like Facebook andGoogle are limiting cryptocurrency advertising on their websites.

Summary

Cryptocurrency is anelectronic cash system created through a process using cryptography. It enablesfast online transaction and removes the need for financial institutions.However, the cryptocurrency industry is facing serious challenges. Weaksecurity means the websites and the users are subjected to thefts. Besides,fake cryptocurrency cheats people of real money, so many companies arerestricting cryptocurrency advertising. (59)
