In the mid-1990s, Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven months,
physically broken and having lost his mind. A few years later, still attracted to the country, he returned to
UzbekistantowriteanarticleaboutthedisappearanceoftheAralSea.
His visit, however, ended up involving a lot more than that. Hence this book, Chasing the Sea: LostAmong
the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia, which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan, where
millions oflives havebeendestroyed bytheslow drying upofthe sea.Itis the storyof anAmericantravelling to

drinking party.And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats stuck miles
fromthesea.
Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references, making his tale a well-rounded

The launch of a tool to record a vanishing Greek dialect drew attention back this week to one of the great
extinctions of the modern world: nine languages are believed to be disappearing every year. Romeyka, which is
spokenbyanageing populationof afewthousandpeopleinthemountainvillagesnearTurkey’sBlackSea coast,
separated from modern Greek thousands of years ago. It has no written form. For linguists, it is a“ living bridge”
totheancientGreekworld,thelossofwhichwouldclearlybeablow.

In the threatening trouble of climate change, growing commercial crops on solar farms is a potentially
efficient use of agricultural land that can both increase commercial food production and improve solar panel
performanceandlongevity（寿命）,accordingtoanewCornellresearch.
"We now have, for the first time, a physics-based tool to estimate the costs and benefits of co-locating solar
panels and commercial agriculture in terms of increased power conversion efficiency and solar-pancl longevity,"
saidleadauthorHenryWilliams,adoctoralstudentinCornellEngineering.
"Thereispotentialforagrivoltaic（农业光伏）systems--whereagricultureandsolarpanelscoexist--toprovide
increasedpassivecoolingthroughtallerpanelheights,morereflectivegroundcoverandhigherevapotranspiration
（蒸散）ratescomparedtotraditionalsolarfarms,"saidMaxZhang,professorintheSibleySchoolofMechanical
and Aerospace Engineering, "We can generate renewable electricity and conserve farmland through agrivoltaic
systems. "In New York, for example, about40% of solar farm capacity has beendeveloped on agriculturallands,
while about 84% of land suitable for solar development is agricultural, according to a previous research study
fromZhang'sgroup.
The engineers showed thatsolar panels mountedover vegetation revealsurface temperature drops compared
to those built over bare ground. Solar panels were mounted 4 meters above a cotton crop and the solar panels
showed temperature reductions by up to 10 degrees Celsius, compared with those mounted a half-meter above
baresoil.

{#{QQABTYCEggCAApBAARgCQwXICgGQkAGCAYgOBEAMoAABQRFABAA=}#}"As you decrease the solar panel operating temperature, you can increase efficiency and improve the
longevity of your solar panels," said Williams, "We're showing double benefits. On one hand, you have food
production for farmers, and on the other hand, we've shown improved longevity and improved conversion
efficiencyforsolardevelopers."
"Up to this point, most of the benefits from agrivoltaic systems have been around areas with abundant
sunshine,"saidZhang,"Thisresearchistakingasteptowardevaluatingtheapplicationofagrivoltaicsinclimates

You’llfindthathavingacleargoalwhenyougooutpaintingwillmakeyouabetterpainter,faster. 36 .
Thegoalsareasfollows.
Explore an area. 37 .When in Scotland for the first time, I didn’t know what to paint. So, rather than
making finished paintings, I focused on just sketching (素描) the things that were new to me. It’s a relaxing
approachtopainting,andithelpsyougetfamiliarwithastrangeland.
38 . It’s like exploring, but with more focus. On my Scotland trip, I became fond of a beautiful,
ancientstone bridge and knew I wanted to make a big painting of itwhen I got home. I collected color studies in
gouache (水粉画), pencil sketches and photos. Once home, where I had all the tools and materials ready, I was
abletocreatethatlargerwork.
Work on a skill or problem. This is usually a workshop goal, but you can do it on your own. If you don’t
understand color temperature, consider making color studies in different temperature. 39 : Is it true that

I begged my mom to let me make cookies by myself. Even though I had never attempted baking before, I
was nine years old and my friend Emmie had been baking cupcakes by herself for a year. I was determined to
prove that I could make it. My brother, Caleb, laughed at the idea of me cooking alone, calling it a disaster.
Having a big brother can be annoying. Despite his laughing, my mom agreed to let me try. She reminded me to
