11、t President Donald Trumps pick to lead his new climate team insists that they need more carbon dioxide (CO2) to boom.Princeton physicist and carbon dioxide-advocate William Happer has been selected to head the brand new Presidential Committee on Climate Security. The atomic scientist, who achieved r

12、ecognition for his work on atomic collisions (原子碰撞), not climate science, declared that the planets atmosphere needs significantly more CO2, which is reported to speed up climate change. Happer said plants use CO2 to live and more CO2 is actually a benefit to the Earth. He also stressed that Earth i

13、s experiencing a “CO2 starvation”, and concludes that “If plants could vote, they would vote for coal.”Earth and plant scientists, however, find Happers insistence that the plant kingdom would benefit from increased CO2 wrong-headed and it lacks evidence. For example, Earths CO2 levels have increase

14、d sharply in the last century, and are now at their highest levels in at least 800,000 yearsthough other measurements show CO2 levels are higher than theyve been in 15 million years. “The idea that increased CO2 is universally beneficial to plants is very misguided,” Jill Anderson, an evolutionary e

15、cologist specializing in plant populations, said in an interview. Data shows the evolution of global average temperature and CO2 concentration from 1850 to 2019. Though 2019 is a bit cooler than recent years, it still is one of the warmest years ever and lies close to the trend line of global warmin

16、g.Both independent academic organizations and government agencies around different parts of the world concluded more CO2 will bring many negative impacts to plant environments. And they added that “If someone is going to claim it is good, its necessary for them to show evidence.”1、Why does Happer th

27、on process in higher education. The National Center for EducationalStatistics reported that U.S. colleges and universities received more than 9 million applications between 2013 and 2014. The schools admitted more than 5 million students in that time.But a new report says that the problem is not abo

28、ut the number of students that are being admitted, but rather how students are selected. The Harvard School of Graduate Education, along with 80 other schools and organizations, released the report in January 2016, called “Turing the TideMaking Caring Common”. The report argues that the process scho

29、ols use to choose students causes major problems.David Hawkins, theExecutiveDirector for Educational Policy, says that most colleges and universities require many things from students when they apply. Schools usually ask for an essay describing a students interests or why they want to study at that

30、school. The schools also ask for letters from teachers or other responsible adults describing why a student is a good candidate. But, Hawkins says, the area that schools are most concerned with a students high school grades and standardizedtest results.The report suggests that paying attention to ac

31、ademic success over other qualities works well for some students but hurts others. In addition, academic success is not the most important quality a student should have. More attention should be paid to showing whether or not a student wants to do good in the world. The report also suggests that sch

32、ools should ask for evidence that students care about other people. Moving attention away from academic ability will make process less about competition, the report says. Students will feel less stress about meeting higher and higher expectation.But the report does have its critics. Bob Schaeffer, P

33、ublic Education Director, said that every few years, someone makes the same argument for change. He said that no real change has happened yet and that even many of the schools that agree with the report still make no changes. “Many of the institutions that have supported the findings in the report a

After hearing that, all students were seated and waited for the test to begin. Now, the professor gave the test papers to all students

38、 with text facing down on the desk. Once he was done with handing out the test to all students, he asked them to turn the test pages and begin.Students were confused to see that there was not a question but just a black dot in the center of the page. The professor noticed the students facial express

39、ions and told them, “I want you to write about what you see there.”The students were still confused but got started with the test. At the end of the class, the professor took all answer sheets and started reading each answer from each sheet in front of all students. All of them described about the b

40、lack dot and tried to explain its position. After the professor finished reading, the whole class was silent.Now, the professor began to explain, “Dont worry. I am not going to give you grades for this but I just want you to think about something. Here everyone focused on the black dot and wrote abo

41、ut it but no one wrote about the white paper. The same is with our lives. The white paper embodies our whole life and the black spot problems in our life.Our life is a gift given to us by God, with love and care, and we always have reasons to celebrateour friends around us, the job that provides us

42、our livelihood, the miracles we see everyday. Still we just focus on day to day problems like health issues, lack of money, problems in relationships, etc. But we never see that these problems are very small compared to everything we have in our lives.”1、From the text we learn that _.Athe professor

45、ay it does today. We live on a corner, higher than street level, and the entire side of the yard is surrounded by a professionally built rock wall. The front of the house though is another story because instead of a wall along the sidewalk, the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if s

46、omeone were in a hurry to finish.We did the best we could with what we had to work with and called this area our “rock garden”. Whenever we had leftover flowers or plants, Denise or I would stick them out front, just to bring some color to the area. We would do all of the yard work on our own, even

47、the tiring weed-pulling.Last summer I had reached the end of the rock garden and found a tiny little plant that I could not immediately identify, I knew I didnt plant it and Denise claimed that she didnt either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could figure out what it was.Weeks passed

48、 and as I made my way back to the mystery plant, it appeared to be a Sunflower with a tall skinny stalk（莖，桿）and only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The Sunflower had not started where I

49、saw the stalk begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.Thats when I realized that if a tiny little Sunflower didnt let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability of doing the same thing. Once our environment begins to see th

50、at we believe in ourselves like that little Sunflower, we can attain the same nourishment（營養(yǎng)）and growth as well.Stand tall like the Sunflower and be proud of who and what you are and the environment will begin to support you.
