16、em order a drink, lie on a comfortable chair and take a break.Many Koreans suffer from a lack of sleep as a result of overworking, so any opportunity to relax and even take a short break is greatly appreciated.

23、 country with food and most of its fresh fruit. But the decrease of trees and use of fire to clear land have caused a lot of damage to the area. Officials say Zimbabwe lost more than 1.5 million hectares of forest in 2016. This is mostly because of local communities cutting the trees for firewood or
24、 setting fires in forested areas to make hunting easier.But now a non-profit group, called Environment Africa, is trying to improve the situation.

26、us with flowers,” he says. “That is the food for the bees to produce the honey. If there were a way, I would like more land to plant more different types of trees.”Lawrence Nyagwande is with Environment Africa.

27、e government worker in Zimbabwe earns just about $500 a month.Nyagwande says, “beekeeping is helping improve the countrys forests. Now if you look around, the forest in Mutasa is improving because people are also working together with the nearby timber (木材) industries to fight the forest fires.”This

31、her 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 produced worldwide belong to a narrow set of clones selected in the 1940s,” said Wil
32、bert Phillips-Mora, 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, when a kind of fungus (真菌) spread around the country, and by 1983 Costa Rican exports
33、 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 of traders moving between Costa Rica and Jamaica, picking infected (感染的) cacao frui
34、t 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. Yet demand for chocolate is rising. A chocolate shortage may arrive soon.That is where
35、 Dr. Phillips-Moras project comes in. 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. Phillips-Mora began to find the most naturally tolerant and productive cacaos, then painstaking
36、ly hybridized (杂交) the candidates to create new varieties. It is a long process. Finally in 2006, Dr. Phillips-Mora produced his first group of hybrid cacao varieties.
