9、seeds. The goal is to represent all crops known to scientists. The British magazine New Scientist published details of the plan last month.

10、on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen.

11、e said the project would let the world rebuild agriculture if in his words “the worst came to the worst”. Norway is expected to start work next year. The project is expected to cost three million dollars. Workers will drill deep in the side of a sandstone mountain. Temperatures in the area never ris
12、e above zero degrees Celsius. The seeds will be protected behind concrete walls a meter thick and high-security doors.The magazine report says the collection will represent the products of ten thousand years of farming. Most of the seeds at first will come from collections at seed banks in Africa, A
13、sia and Latin America. To last a long time, seeds need to be kept in very low temperatures. Workers will not be present all the time. But they plan to replace the air inside the storage space each winter. Winter temperatures on the island are about eighteen degrees below zero Celsius. The cold weath

A New Way to Feed the WorldBBook reviews can be a great foot in the door if youre looking to get your writing published somewhere. Most magazines, whether online or print, will include book reviews a
20、bout books that tackle the topics the magazine discusses. Also, most editors and staff writers are usually too busy to read books and review them themselves (unless they are specifically assigned to a book review column). Therefore, writing book reviews can be a great way to get started with a writi
21、ng career.Many people that are reading your review may not know anything about the book youre reviewing. Instead of making them go find information on their own by searching for the book title, start out with a little description of the book. Make sure you avoid too long of a summary, though, becaus
22、e if too much of your article is a summary of the book, it wont be interesting. Start with a short paragraph or so that hits all the major points but doesnt give too much away. You dont want to tell your reader everything about the book, because then they wont have to read it at all. Just give enoug
23、h information so your reader is interested in reading the book.Some magazines like to publish book reviews that are completely objective(客观的). This means that they want a review of the book that doesnt share your opinion and that in which your opinion isnt obvious from reading what you wrote. If you
24、 hated a book, it might not be a great book to review. You probably want to review books that you enjoyed. This will give your review a positive spin. Avoid gushing about how much you loved the book, however. You should not include your personal reaction to the book until the very end, where you inc
25、lude a sentence or two about whether or not you would recommend a book and to whom you would recommend it.A great way to get your review noticed is to look at a book through a specific lens. Read the book as a feminist(女权主义者) would, for example, and talk about what a feminist might say to applaud or
26、 criticize the book. You can choose any number of lenses, and feminism is just one option. An economic lens, a family lens, the lens of a different nationality, or the lens of a child could all be interesting ways to look at a book. If you look at a book in this way, instead of just reading it and f
27、orming your own opinion, it will be much more interesting and marketable. This is especially the case if you look at a lens that relates to the subject of the magazine to which you are submitting. Feminist magazines love book reviews about books read through a feminist lens, for example, because it
28、pertains to their readership.Another great way to write a book review is to talk about the writers style. Anyone can pick up a book and read for the plot, but it takes an experienced writer to note interesting things about another writers style and write about them intelligently.1. Whats the first p
