18、at he and Josh Tucker, his best friend, were heading out on a camp to Yellowstone. Instead, he and Tucker made for Crater of Diamonds State Park, Arkansas, which is set on a volcanic crater(坑). The park is one of the few places in the world where the public is welcome to search for real diamonds and

19、 can keep them for free. Since its opening, only 1 in 10,000 park visitors is lucky enough to find a diamond that weighs a carat or more. Still, he was up for the challenge.On their way, Liden and Tucker stopped in Helena, Montana, to mine for accompanying jewels to add to the diamond they hoped to

20、score. In Arkansas, the pair paid $10 each to get into the park and spent almost three days searching through the volcanic dirt.On the third morning, Liden suddenly spotted something reflecting light in the sands. “I was so excited that I started shaking,” he said. “It was oily and shiny, and we bot

21、h just knew it was a diamond.”It was confirmed that Liden had found a 2.2carat yellow diamond. Similarlysized diamonds go for $2,500 to $20,000 per carat, depending on quality, color and cut.

26、e publication, in stages, of the sixth report by the UNs Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)a report which was depressing reading for many climate scientists, and in some ways offered a ray of hope.Why depressing? Because the report confirmed what scientists have been saying for years:

27、that human activity, particularly in the form of emissions(排放) of greenhouse gases, is responsible for the warming in the past few centuries, and that unless such emissions are greatly reduced, we will soon bring about our entire ecosystems destruction.The report concluded that 1.5C of global warmin

28、g over the next couple of hundred years is already “baked_in”. This makes the goals outlined in the 2015 Paris Agreementthat nations agreed to keep warming below 2C, and hopefully below 1.5Cmuch harder to meet. Worse still, the IPCC report was followed later in the year by the COP27 summit(峰会), desc

29、ribed by Prof Dann Mitchell, as “a complete failure, other than some commitment to loss and damage”And the ray of hope? The IPCCs sixth report was broader in approach than previous studieslooking indepth for the first time at the role played in warming by shortterm greenhouse gases such as methane(甲

30、烷), for instance.“Reducing carbon emissions is always the best approach: stop the problem at its source,” said Mitchell. “But we also need other approaches to help with this. Methane is important, but its so shortlivedthats why we havent been so bothered when compared with CO2.”The IPCC working grou

31、ps showed potential adaptation paths, and they are the other things we can do in terms of fighting climate change and relieving its worst effects, rather than simply reducing carbon emissions. This would include taking measures such as switching to a more plantbased diet (to reduce methane emissions

32、), controlling population growth, reducing financial inequality and developing means by which we might remove CO2 thats already in our atmosphere, rather than simply preventing it being released.()28. Which of the following can best describe the sixth report by IPCC?A. Seemingly contradictory. B. Wh

33、olly promising.C. Particularly hopeless. D. Exceptionally new.()29. What does the underlined phrase “baked in” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Out of date. B. To the full. C. Under discussion. D. In progress.()30. According to the passage, what can we learn about methane?A. It has been long regarded as a maj

Youve done everything right: you havent invested heavily in a new business or quit your job to pursue your childhood dream of becoming a professiona

36、l athlete. You have been a sensible adult living your sensible life. So why does it feel like such hard work?This has been me for the past few months. Earlier this year, I took a long hard look at my sources of income and decided to focus on the ones that provided the most money. Im lucky enough to

37、have had a good financial year. But despite doing the right thing, it has used up my energy and Ive worked out why.Years ago, I realized that I disliked hard work. Dont get me wrong, I dont mind working hard, but hard work isnt for me. Whats the difference? For a start, hard work feels as if it neve

38、r really gets going. You can push hard work and it might move a little but theres no celebratory moment when it gets done. Most importantly, hard work lacks joy. Working hard on a project you feel excited and moved by can be tiring and difficult, but its ultimately joyful and that is what Ive been m

39、issing.So I asked myself what would feel scary but joyful and this is the answer. Im going to write a romance. Of course, being a middleaged journalist who suddenly decides to write a book is nothing novel. However, for me, it hits the sweet spot between being joyful enough to make me want to do it

40、and scary enough to make me feel its worthwhile.As with all good middleaged changes, this one hasnt really been thought through. I know little about writing fiction and even less about what makes a good book. I have the thinnest of ideas for a plot but, for the first time in a while, Im excited. I w
