On the day he almost died, Kimbal Musk had food on the brain. The Internet startup talent and
restaurateur had just arrived in Jackson Hole from a conference where chef Jamie Oliver had spoken
about the benefits of healthy eating. This was something Musk thought about a lot—how he might

his restaurant, Musk hadn’t yet broken the code. Then he went sailing down a snowy slope and fell
over,breakinghisneck.Theleftsideofhisbodywasparalyzed.
Musk eventually made a full recovery, but it involved spending two months on his back, which
gave him plenty of time to come up with a plan. Since then, he has launched an initiative to put
“learning gardens” in publicschools across America; attracted Generation Zto the farming profession
bychangingshippingcontainersintohigh-tech,data-driven,year-roundfarms;andthisyear,iskicking
offanewcampaigntocreateonemillionat-homegardens.
Aimed at reaching low-income families, the Million Gardens Movement was inspired by the
pandemic, as both a desire to feel more connected to nature and food insecurity have been at the
forefront of so many people’s lives. “We were getting a lot of inquiries about gardening from people
thathadnevergardenedbefore,”saysMusk.“Peoplewerelookingtogardenforabunchofreasons:to
supplement their budget, to improve the nutritional quality of their diets, or just to cure the boredom
thatcamewiththelockdown.”
Theprogramoffersfreegardenkitsthatcanbegrownindoorsoroutdoors,andwillbedistributed
through schools that Musk’s non-profit, Big Green, has already partnered with. It also offers free
courses on how to get the garden growing and fresh seeds and materials for the changing growing
seasons. “I grew up in the projects when I was young, in what we now call food deserts,” says EVE,

Do you have frightening dreams while sleeping? According to an email interview by clinical
psychologist and sleep expert Dr. Michael Breus, roughly 5 percent of the general population has at
least onebaddream per week. Nightmarestypically happenduring REM sleep, duringthe middle and
laterpartsofthenight.
There isno exact explanation for nightmares, but Breus says it’s possible that theyhelp the brain
practise, prepare for and even anticipate difficult or dangerous experiences in waking life. Of course,
it’s possible that nightmares, like dreams in general, don’t have a primary function—that they’re a
by-product of other activities in the body. But most sleep scientists think that dreams and nightmares
existforsomepurposes.
One study found the most common nightmare was falling, followed by dreams of being chased,
feelinglost,andfeelingtrapped.Thenwhydonightmareshappen?
“Certaincircumstancesandcharacteristicsmakesomepeoplemorelikelytohavenightmaresthan
others,” says sleep medicine specialist Dr. Barry Krakow. He thinks people who’ve been traumatized
(使受精神创伤) are certainly at a higher risk of nightmares. Examples are offered of those who have
suffered criminal attacks, or who have been in life-threatening accidents. People with some degree of
sensitivity in their biological make-up are also more likely to have bad dreams, so they’re more
commoninpeoplewhosufferfromanxietyordepression,orwhouseexcessdrugsoralcohol.
The traditional belief often has it that nightmares are the result of eating too much rich food
before bedtime, but it is still uncertain whether this is true. One study from 2015 did find a link
between eating dairy or hot foods before bedtime and having disturbing dreams, but the study authors
notedthat thiscouldn’tbe proven definitelybecause the data was self-reported and there were a lotof
otherfactorstoconsider.
However, research in recent decades has shown that people who suffer from sleep disorders are
alsomorelikelytohavenightmares.
28.WhatmayDr.Breusagreewithaboutnightmares?
A.Theycometrueonceinawhile.
B.Theyhappenatanytimeduringsleep.
C.Theypossiblyhelppredictfutureevents.
D.Theyariseforsomereallyspecificpurposes.

Geothermal (地热的) power generation is one of our most stable renewable energy resources.
Heat generated below the Earth’s surface can provide an almost unlimited supply to power and heat
homes. And while geothermal electricity only accounts for around one percent of global generation,
thatissettoatleasttripleby2050.
The Geysers in California is the world’s largest geothermal electricity complex. It produces
enough electricity from its 18 power plants for 725,000 homes, totaling 20 percent of the state’s
renewable energy. Superheated “dry steam” is channeled from a large sandstone reservoir heated by a
largemagmachamber(岩浆房)morethanfourmilesbeneaththesurface.
Heat is captured from its passage through the rock and the heated water converts into electricity.
Cooled water is then recycled and pumped back to gather more heat. EGS (enhanced geothermal
systems)technologieswillopenupmanymoresitesforgeothermalenergy.“Youcaneffectivelyputa
power plant anywhere,” said WillPettit, director of the Geothermal Resources Council. “All youhave
todoisdrilldeepenoughandyouwillfindhotrock.”
Most geothermal plants actually use a flash steam technique, where hot water (at 360F or 180C)
is drawn up, passed into lower pressure tanks and flashed into steam to power a turbine (涡轮机).
Binary cycle (双元循环) plants are the growth technology because they can operate at lower water
temperatures and more diverse geographical locations. They use moderately hot water to heat a
secondaryfluidwithalowerboilingpoint—aslowas135F—todriveturbines.
Geothermal plants already emit 11 times less carbon dioxide per unit of electricity than the
average US coal power plant. They can also operate 24 hours a day to provide a solid base load for
homesandbusinesses.
Therearedrawbacks too.Seismicactivityaround drillingwellsisafactor.High investmentcosts

The waves crashed heavily against the rocks, the stormy sea swallowing the once-powerful ship.
The only survivor of the shipwreck was brought by the currents to the shore of a small, uninhabited
