The Amazn rainfrest spreads acrss nine Suth American cuntries but mst f it (60%) is in Brazil. Brazilian Scientists think they might have fund a way t reverse the damage caused by defrestatin and turn farmland back int frest. The secret lies in ancient lcal knwledge f sil.
Amaznian dark earth (ADE) is a thick, black sil fund deep in the Amazn rainfrest, and it culd help restre frests arund the wrld. ADE is a kind f cmpst — a sil made frm dead plants and animals. Varius kinds f cmpst are sld in gardening centers arund the wrld, but ADE is unique. It was created by indigenus peple (the descendants f peple wh lived smewhere befre anther culture arrived and tk ver) frm the Amazn between 2,000 and 2,500 years ag. The Amaznian peple, tday knwn as Amerindians, created ADE using charcal frm fires, animal bnes, fd waste and p. It cntains micrbes, including bacteria that help t turn chemicals in the sil int useful nutrients that feed plants and trees.
Vast areas f the Amazn have been cut dwn, mstly t make way fr grassland fr raising cattle. Scientists are lking fr a way t turn grassland back int rainfrest and revive frest ecsystems. These supprt thusands f animal and plant species, many f them unique t the area. Frests als absrb lts f carbn dixide, a gas that cause climate change.
T see if the Amazn’s special sil culd help, the scientists grew grasses and trees in ADE, regular earth and a mixture f bth. Trees grwn in ADE were up t six times taller than thse in regular sil. ADE takes hundreds f years t create, s the scientists can’t simply make mre. Team member, Dr. Siu Mui Tsai, said that instead they want t try and “cpy its characteristics”, especially its helpful micrbes, and see if it culd help t restre natural habitats.

C. The significance f frest ecsystems.D. The influence f climate change.
31. Which f the fllwing might Dr. Siu agree with?

Des it ever seem like smething is ging n with ur attentin spans? Glria Mark, an attentin researcher at the university f Califrnia, says there is scientific evidence that attentin spans have shrunk cnsiderably. “We started studying attentin span length ver 20 years ag,” Mark said. “In 2003, we fund that attentin spans averaged abut tw-and-a-half minutes n any screen befre peple switched, In the past five, six years, they are averaging 47 secnds n the screen.”
Mark maintains that a shrter attentin span has three dwnsides: The first is that peple make mre errrs when they d attentin shifting; secnd dwnside is that it takes lnger t d smething, because we have t adjust t every new task every time we shift; the third dwnside—maybe this is the wrst f all—is that stress increases. When peple are wrking n multiple tasks and they have t shift their attentin, their bld pressure rises.
Yu dn’t have t be a prfessr t guess at the cause f ur great distract ability: It’s technlgy, f curse-phnes, scial media, texting. It might be hard t think f the last time yu even had a tech-free hur. S she ffered a cuple f tips fr staying fcused: First, when yu feel the itch t change tasks, analyze why. If it’s just bredm r prcrastinatin (拖延症), make a deal with yurself t wrk anther 20 minutes, and then treat yurself t a reward.
Secnd, picture yurself at the end f the day. What d yu want t have accmplished? What d yu want t feel? “A cncrete visualizatin f yurself sitting n the cuch, yu knw, watching yur favurite shw is really gd mtivatin,” she said.
The internet has this incredible resurce available t us, s rather than be upset by it because it distracts us, hw can we turn that arund and instead find value frm it? And hw can we utilize ur time best when we use the resurces frm the Internet withut getting exhausted frm it? These questins are what Glria Mark will fcus n in her subsequent research.
32. What is the secnd paragraph mainly abut?
A. Negative effects f shrt attentin spans.
B. Benefits f lng attentin spans.
C. Causes f shrt attentin spans.
D. Ways t deal with shrt attentin spans.
33. What des the underlined wrd in para. 3 prbably mean?
A. Necessity.B. Curage.C. DesireD. Chice
34. Which f the fllwing may Glria Mark suggest?
A. Imagining what yu will accmplish at the end f the day is a waste f time.
B. Multitasking is a gd way t extend ur attentin span.
C. It is necessary t think twice befre shifting yur tasks.
D. We’d better say n t the internet smetimes as it distracts us.
35. Which f the fllwing can be the best title f the passage?
A. Are Our Attentin Spans Getting Shrter?
B. Hw D We Live with the Internet?
C. Is Multitasking Pssible?
D. What Can We D t Make Our Attentin Spans Lnger?
