Dr Costantino Iadecola, director of the Feil Family Brain and Mind Research Institute, said they fed the mice eight to sixteen times their normal salt intake and then tested the mice.

The official announcement of the Monitoring and Assessment Center fo
25、r GHGs and Carbon Neutrality (温室气体及碳中和监测评估中心), located in Beijing, was made by the China Meteorological Administration. It is expected to play a vital role in providing both technical and scientific support for researchers. The center will gather top scientists in the field both at home and abroad.
26、Apart from providing ways to achieve carbon neutrality, it will also be helpful to make technological breakthroughs in the next three to five years. The center is tasked with creating a system to evaluate the effectiveness of the countrys efforts to fight climate change. The recruitment (招募) of staf

28、ns from the COVID19 pandemic is that humankind must pursue a green development path and green lifestyle. China will lower its carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by more than 65 percent from the 2005 level and increase its share of nonfossil fuels in primary energy consumption to around 25 perc
29、ent. By 2030, China will also increase its forest stock by 6 billion cubic meters from the 2005 level, and bring its total installed capacity (装机容量) of wind and solar power to over 1.2 billion kilowatts. The establishment of the center proves Chinas determination to pursue a green development road.
30、Its a concrete action that China has taken to fight the climate challenge. Carbon neutrality, or a netzero carbon footprint, means reaching a balance between carbon emissions and removing pollutants through carbon sinks and other offsets (补偿). China has sped up research and development of equipment
31、to monitor greenhouse gases and carbon neutrality and achieved encouraging results. However, there is still a long way to go to reach the top world standard.12Why did China start the Center?ATo produce more greenhouse gases.BTo gather more scientists worldwide.CTo contribute more to fighting climate
