At a conference that I attended this summer, I heard Craig Kielburger, the founder of Free the Children, speak about his life and work.

19、s horrible at public speaking. At the end of Kielburgers speech, he looked toward the audience and said, “Every single person in here can make a difference and better the world.” It was the same line I had seen on posters and heard over and over again, but for some reason this time I was moved by hi
20、s words. In my seat, I took out a piece of paper and a pen and wrote: I will make a difference, After I set down my pen, I looked at that piece of paper for a long while realizing its implications(含意)and feeling the weight of the commitment I had just made.

26、y involved 50 native German speakers studying Dutch at a Dutch university, who had recently learned to speak, read, and write in the new language. Based on random selections, participants were either given alcohol or water as a control beverage(饮料). The amount of alcohol was based on body size, but
27、nearly equaled a bottle of 5 percent beer for a 70 kg male. They then chatted to a researcher for five minutes, before a recording was assessed by two native Dutch speakers who werent told whether alcohol had been consumed. The participants Were also asked to rate their own Dutch language skills ove
28、r the course of the chat.

34、As is well known, cacaos seeds provide something loved by billions: chocolate. Like other crops, cacaos are under constant threat from diseases and environmental challenges. The situation is exacerbated by our tendency to grow only a few varieties with similar genetic features(基因特点). “Most varieties
35、 produced worldwide belong to a narrow set of clones selected in the 1940s,” said Wilbert PhillipsMora, a botanist. Therefore, commonly planted varieties of cacaos are easily affected by the same diseases, which can spread quickly. Cacao production brought wealth to Costa Rica until the late 1970s,
36、when a kind of fungus (真菌)spread around the country, and by 1983 Costa Rican exports of cacao beans had reduced by 94%. The industry there has never recovered. And though the Costa Rican outbreak is history, the fungus continues to spread. The most recent outbreak in Jamaica may have been the result
37、 of traders moving between Costa Rica and Jamaica, picking infected (感染的)cacao fruit as a snack. That outbreak has proved the fungus could stand more distant travel than previously known. Many other diseases also influence the tree. These difficulties make cacaos ever less appealing to producers. Ye

The great diversity in the International Cacao Collection in Turrialba may help avoid the danger. It has a collection of 1,235 types of cacao trees. In the 1980s, Dr. PhillipsMor
39、a began to find the most naturally tolerant and productive cacaos, then painstakingly hybridized (杂交) the candidates to create new varieties. It is a lengthy process. Finally in 2006, Dr. PhillipsMora produced his first group of hybrid cacao varieties. Unlike other modern efforts to increase output,
40、 Dr. PhillipsMoras program regards fine mouthfeels as the first consideration. New varieties that dont impress consumers are thrown away.32.
