That cuntry is Csta Rica Cnservatin has been develped here since the 1970s, with measures t prtect areas, clse z00S and reverse defrestatin.
Abut 80% f the Osa Peninsula is prtected; much f it is in Crcvad Natinal Park, where visitrs can fllw guided trips with lcal grups. Activity ptins range frm rainfrest hikes t whale-watching, diving at Isla del Can and surfing at Cab Matapal.
Finland
It's a natin where 80 percent f the territry is cvered by frests Meanwhile, Finland's air and water is claimed t be the clearest.

Scientists at the University f Massachusetts Amherst have invented a new way t make electricity. Their methd uses super-tiny hles t make electricity frm misture(湿气)in the air. The scientists hpe the methd will ne day lead t cheap, clean electricity anywhere at any time.
Misture in the air is what helps create electricity. Water drplets in the air carry an electric charge(电荷). In cluds, these water drplets build up large charges, which we later see as lightning. One f the researchers, Jun Ya, described the new inventin as a "small-scale, man-made clud". Since the new device generates electricity frm the air, the scientists call it "Air-gen".
Currently, the device nly makes a small amunt f electricity-enugh t pwer a small sensr. But in lab tests, the Air gen, which is a little bigger than a fingernail, prduced electricity all day and all night fr a week, pwered by nthing but the air.
The scientists have tried t make electricity frm humidity(湿度)befre, but thse methds didn't wrk fr lng, r were expensive t make. But in 2020, Dr Ya and his team fund a way f getting electricity frm humidity using special "nanwires" made frm bacteria. That research led the scientists t the key discvery f the Air-gen: almst any material can create electricity in this way as lng as it has nanpres(纳米孔) f the right size. This is imprtant because it means in the future, the devices can be made very cheaply. The researchers hpe that the Air-gen will becme an imprtant green energy surce.
Many scientists are impressed with the ideas behind the Air-gen. But sme scientists have suggested that it might be hard fr the Air-gen t create enugh electricity t really make a difference especially cmpared t pwer surces like slar energy. But Dr Ya and his team are wrking n ways t make the Air-gen technlgy mre pwerful. Because the device is s0 thin, the scientists believe that many Air-gen layers culd be piled n tp f each ther t create mre electricity withut taking up mre space.
28．The Air-gen is invented
A. t cllect water drplets in the air. B. t generate electricity frm bacteria.
C. t create a small-scale artificial clud. D. t prduce electricity frm misture.
29．Hw des the Air-gen device generate electricity?
A. By using large charges in lightening.
B. By changing sunlight int electricity.
C. By using the electric charge in water drplets.
D. By turning water int a usable energy surce.
30．What is ne ptential cncern raised by scientists abut the Air-gen?
A. It might nt prduce enugh electricity.
B. It has a negative impact n the envirnment.
C. It requires expensive materials t manufacture.
D. It is less reliable than traditinal pwer surces.
31．What's the best title fr the text?
A. Inventing the Air-gen. B. Creating electricity frm the air.
C. Experimenting with man-made clud. D. Lking fr green energy surce.
Flash drughts develp fast, and when they hit at the wrng time, they can ruin a regin's agriculture. They're als becming increasingly cmmn as the planet warms. In a study published in the jurnal Cmmunicatins Earth & Envirnment, we fund that the risk f flash drughts, which can develp in just a few weeks, is n the rise in every majr agricultural regin arund the wrld in the cming decades.
In Nrth America and Eurpe, crpland that had a 32% annual chance f a flash drught a few years ag culd have a greater chance f a flash drught by the final decades f this century. That result wuld put fd prductin, energy, and water supplies under increasing pressure. The cst f change will als rise. A flash drught in the Daktas and Mntana 2017 caused $2.6 billin in agricultural damage in America alne.
All drughts begin when rainfall stps. What's interesting abut flash drughts is hw fast they strengthen themselves, with sme help frm the warming climate. When the weather is ht and dry, sil lses misture rapidly. Dry air extracts misture frm the land, and rising temperatures can increase this evaprative (蒸发的) demand. The lack f rain during a flash drught can further cntribute t the feedback prcesses, Under these cnditins, crps and vegetatin begin t die much mre quickly than they d during typical lng-term drughts.
In ur study, we used climate mdels and data frm the past 170 years t assess the drught risks ahead under three cnditins fr hw quickly the wrld takes actin t slw the pace f glbal warming. If greenhuse gas emissins frm vehicles, pwer plants, and ther human surces cntinue at a high rate, we fund that crpland in much f Nrth America and Eurpe wuld have a 53% annual chance f flash drughts, by the final decades f this century. Glbally, the largest increases in flash drughts wuld be in Eurpe and the Amazn. Slwing emissins can reduce the risk significantly, but we fund flash drughts wuld still increase by abut 6% wrldwide under lw emissin cnditins.
32．What is the feature f flash drughts?
A. Seldm happen and greatly beneficial.
B. Frequently happen and lw risky.
C. Suddenly happen and highly destructive.
D. Regularly happen and slightly harmful.
33．Which f the fllwing statements may the authr agree with?
A. Crps and vegetatin die mre quickly during lng term drughts.
B. Slwing emissins can cmpletely slve the prblem f flash drughts.
C. In Eurpe crpland will suffer frm mre flash drughts by the end f this century.
D. Flash drughts wn't have any effect n fd prductin, energy, and water supplies.
34．What may be a factr that strengthens flash drughts?
A. Adequate rainfall. B. The warming climate.
C. The cld and wet weather. D. Lng-term drughts.
35．Hw can humans help reduce flash drughts?
A. By studying climate mdels. B. By speeding up glbal warming.
C. By changing crpland int frests.D. By decreasing greenhuse gas emissins.
