21、This summer we witnessed interview teams at the North Pole wearing short sleeve shirts due to the warm weather. A study published on Aug 29 revealed more concerning issues in the supposedly coldest area of the world. Zombie ice from a massive Greenland ice sheet was confirmed to be melting, which would eventually raise global sea levels by at least 10 inches (27 centimeters) on its own, reported Associated Press (AP).
Zombie ice is the kind of ice that is still attached to thicker areas of ice, but is no longer getting fed by larger glaciers. Since glaciers are getting less snow to complement the amount of ice melted, once the zombie ice is melted, it cannot be re-formed.
Scientists decided to look at the balance of the ice. In perfect equilibrium (平衡), snow in the mountains of Greenland flows down and thickens the sides of glaciers, balancing out what’s melting on the edges, according to AP. But in the last few decades, there is less refill and more melting, creating an imbalance.
Study co-author William Colgan told AP that 3.3 percent of Greenland’s total ice volume will melt eventually. “Starving would be a good phrase for what’s happening to the ice”, Colgan added.
With a great number of natural resources buried under the earth, areas of melted ice revealed treasures that attracted the world’s richest men. According to CNN, in early August, there was a “treasure hunt” in Greenland. Billionaires, including Bill Gates and others, financially backed KoBold Metals, a US-based mineral exploration company, to explore the rare metals under the glaciers in Greenland. The company told CNN that since there were enough minerals to power hundreds of millions of electric vehicles, the critical resource is capable of powering the green energy transition. While investors are taking advantage of global warming, experts feared that the mineral exploration is likely to worsen the local environment, draining up the world’s resources at a faster rate.

23、She was returning from teaching out in a small community. It was a black, moonless night, and a heavy snow was falling.
She thought back to the time when she had first started teaching out in small communities. During those days she had always picked up hitchhikers (搭便车者), until the day her sister told her that one of her friends had been shot in the head by a hitchhiker, all because she had stopped out of kindness to help him during a storm.
Her family didn't stop worrying about her safety over the hitchhikers until the family heard the promise: “No more hitchhikers!” The snow that night was making her think back to this.
Then she saw a man waving. She slowed down for him, but as he ran toward the car in the dark, she shook with fear. Yet she thought that if he was truly in need, she couldn't leave him here in this storm.
The stranger explained that his car was dead, and she told him to get in. They drove for an hour into the next city and she took him to a convenience store. She waited until he had made a call. When he reported back to her that a family member would soon come to pick him up, she wished him well and then left.
Tears fell on her cheeks as she drove away. It felt as though she had been holding her breath for an hour.
“I hope they'll understand why I had to break my promise,” she thought.
【1】What made the woman's family worried about her safety?

24、Good gift giving is an art. 【1】 It can repair a wrong doing, or simply remind a loved one that you care. Whatever the occasion, gift giving is a social ritual that requires careful thought and consideration. So are there a set of rules to follow? We spoke to some experts to help us make a simple guide to gifting.
★Don’t add a small gift to a big gift
【2】 Some flowers to go with a bottle of grand French champagne (香槟)? Don’t do it. When we receive gifts, we tend to unconsciously average out their value, so a small gift attached to a big one will hurt the latter’s influence.
★【3】
A brand new iPhone becomes old fast. But a dream vacation or seeing your favorite artist in concert will give you memories that last forever. Experiences often have more thought gone into them, and they create more vivid memories. We might remember the tablet that a friend or a loved one has bought us, but not as much as a two-week holiday to Florida. The memories and the emotional attachment are greater than physical objects.
★Think like the receiver
Let’s put it very simply: buy things that your receiver would buy for themselves. That might seem obvious.【4】People tend to use gifts as jokes or to signal something about themselves rather than providing utility or happiness to the receiver. The best way to get it right is to ask the frank question, “what would you like?”
But if all else fails, remember there’s a reason why we say that it’s the thought that counts. “Don’t forget why you are giving gifts.【5】They just want you to think about them, and that can be done in lots of easy ways,” said Farrelly.
A.Is that always the way people do?
B.Gift experiences rather than things.
C.But it happens far less than we’d like.
D.Experience more to create vivid memories.
E.Do you attempt to add a tie to an expensive shirt?
F.Most people don’t want lots of money spent on them.
G.The perfect present can lift mood or improve a relationship.
25、When 72-year-old Randy Long was cleaning out his garage not long ago, he came across some practice baseballs he used to throw around with his son and grandson.
Thinking some kids might get ________ of them, he took them to a local baseball cage, where he ________ them along with a touching note that might just bring even the strongest men to tears:
“Hope someone can use these baseballs. I found them when ________ my garage. I pitched (投球) them to my son and grandson for countless ________ . My son is now 46 years old and my grandson is 23 years old. I am 72. They have both ________ away. If you are a father, ________these times. You won’t believe how quickly they will be gone.”
________, Long’s grandson, Ethan Anderson, tweeted about his grandpa’s generous gesture. He never expected the post to go viral. The impact of the story finally hit home when the family ________ by the media, but Anderson says while his grandfather is amazed by all the attention he’s getting, he really doesn’t have much use for social media.
Anderson may be grown-up, but he fondly remembers his grandpa as a thoughtful coach who helped him ________ his true athletic potential. “When I was a kid, we would usually go a few times a week to practice in the cages,” he recalled. “Many times, I didn’t even want to go, but he always wanted me to be the best ________ I could be.”
After the story was shown on the news, Anderson was nearly swept away by the wave of ________ feedback. There are a lot of kids younger than me telling me they’ll cherish the times they have with their dads or granddads,” he told CNN, “And they won’t ________ it for granted anymore.”
“I get to go back and ________ every now and then,” he said. “I just didn’t realize that he missed ________ in the cages. Although he’s moved to Birmingham, about a two-hour drive from Long, Anderson has decided it’s time to team back up with his grandpa on a more ________ basis.
