Kala has deep ties t her Hawaiian rts. Her ancestrs navigated (航行) the ceans fr centuries using their knwledge f the stars, the sun, the currents and the wind.

A cuntry that is carbn neutral is basically n lnger giving ff, r "emitting", the dangerus greenhuse gases, simply called "carbn emissins".
Carbn emissins are clsely tied t the burning f "fssil fuels", like cal, il, and gas. T becme carbn neutral, it's necessary t stp creating pwer and heat in ways that pllute, and instead use mre "renewable" methds, such as getting energy frm the sun, wind, and water. New Zealand already gets abut 80% f its energy frm renewable surces. Frm the gvernment's pint f view, t becme carbn neutral, that is nt enugh. S it plans t increase this. Additinally, it aims t begin using mre electric cars and trucks. It will als be spending $14. 5 billin t make it easier fr peple t get arund by walking, biking, r using public transprtatin. Meanwhile, it has a gal f planting 1 billin trees.
Methane (甲烷) is ne f the wrst greenhuse gases. Surprisingly, methane frm cws and sheep makes up abut 34% f New Zealand's plluting gases.

Aernautics (航空学) specialists frm the University f Suth Australia spent mnths studying the dragnfly's flight, creating 3D mdels frm digital images, t build a winged drne (无人机). Study leader Javaan Chahl believes that winged drnes based n the dragnfly's shape and mvement will simply be mre flexible and energy efficient.
Chahl's team used a special phtgraphy technique t classify the wing shapes f 75 different dragnfly species frm museum cllectins. Their wings are lng, light and hard. Plus, their lng bdies give them excellent stability and balance, making it pssible fr winged drnes t deliver awkward lads and undertake lng bservatin missins.
Investigating the way that dragnflies remain stable during flight actually reveals the techniques they use t get themselves ut f tricky situatins. Dragnflies are fund t be able t perfrm upside-dwn backflips t regain balance and nrmal flight, when they find themselves upside dwn mid-air. This special skill can even be perfrmed while dragnflies are uncnscius, meaning it is a passive stability mechanism similar in cncept t planes that are designed t glide t safety with their engines turned ff. Engineers are lking t cpy dragnfly wings t create safer drnes that can right themselves.
Of curse, nt all attempts t build dragnfly-like drnes are successful. TechJet's air vehicle was suppsed t perate as an aerial camera, bservatin and security drne, but it failed befre prductin gt underway. Similarly, Insectthpter, an American dragnfly spy drne built in the 1970 s was deserted.
Yet the principles behind winged drnes are slid. In fact, NASA has settled n a nuclear-pwered autnmus craft called Dragnfly t explre the surface f Saturn's mn Titan in 2034. NASA's prject is actually an air vehicle, rather than a winged drne, but engineers are still cnvinced they can crack the cde f nature's mst gifted flying insect and revlutinize unmanned flight alng the way.
12. Why did aernautics specialists spend mnths studying the dragnfly's flight?
A . T build 3D mdels frm digital images. B . T make winged drnes mdelled after it. C . T clarify the flexibility and efficiency f drnes. D . T display the shape and mvement f the dragnfly.
13. The special skill f dragnflies is their ability t____.
A . glide t safety B . avid tricky situatins C . perfrm bservatin tasks D . adjust themselves t stay stable
14. What is the authr's attitude twards winged drnes?
A . Skeptical. B . Uncertain. C . Supprtive. D . Cnservative.
15. Which can be a suitable title fr the text?
A . Winged Drnes: Still a Lng Way t G B . Javaan Chahl: An Innvative Leader f Aernautics C . A Dragnfly's Flying Technique: Perfect fr Drnes D . The Cde f Nature: A Slutin t NASA's Space Explratin
