The Amazn Rainfrest, ften called the “lungs f the Earth”, has always mesmerized me with its bidiversity (生物多样性) and lcal tribes (部落). When I had the chance t jin a research expeditin, I tk it, excited abut the adventure ahead. I didn’t knw it wuld be a great experience.

The wrld lves a cup f tea. It nly takes a few grams t make a cup f tea and millins f tns f tea are cnsumed every year.

“Hell Mther, Dad, and Blanche,” a quiet vice, has clearly been played many times ver. “Hw’s everything at hme? I’m recrding this frm Dallas…” The disc is small, seven inches acrss, dated Octber 1954. The ld label shws that the speaker’s name is “Gene”. Gene suggests in his minute-lng message that he is traveling and tells his family nt t wrry abut him.

They culd play it prudly again anytime there were guests, but with each play, the needle wuld scrape away at the grves (凹槽) until the message culd hardly be heard any lnger.
Tday at Princetn University, prfessr Thmas Levin is trying t stre these sunds f the past.
