19、r. Many people liked to listen to him talk because he liked to tell some interesting stories to make people laugh all the time. One day Mark Twain was going to a small town because of his writing. Before he was going to leave, one of his friends said to him that there were always a lot of mosquitoes
20、 in the town and told him that hed better not go there. Mark Twain waved (摇动) his hand and said, “It doesnt matter. The mosquitoes are no relatives of mine. I dont think they will come to visit me.” After he arrived at the town, Mark Twain stayed in a small hotel near the station. He went into his r
21、oom, but when he was just about to have a rest, quite a few mosquitoes flew about him. The waiters felt very sorry about that. “Im very sorry, Mr Mark Twain.

26、the hotel any longerD Scientists from China, Sweden and the United States have developed a high-producing rice that can reduce methane emissions(甲烷排放), a major greenhouse gas blamed for global warming, from rice fields, according to a paper published on the latest issue of Nature. By inserting a bar
27、ley(大麦) gene into rice, Sun Chuanxin and his colleagues created SUSIBA2 Rice, which stores more starch(淀粉) in the section of the rice above ground, according to a paper published on the latest issue of Nature. This means the grains will have more starch while the root will exude less nutrients that
28、will later be turned into methane by microbes (微生物) in the soil, Sun, who works with Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, told Xinhua. “It solves two major problems mankind faces at one time: environmental degradation and the need for increased grain output,” Wang Feng, another scientist, sa
29、id, adding that the rice can cut methane discharge by more than 90 percent during summer and more than half during autumn, as “the rice displays a greater emission reduction effect in high temperatures.” Meanwhile, small-scale trials have also suggested an increased output: a single plant of the new
30、 breed has 300 more grains with a starch content 10 percent higher. Wang said the team is working on applications for the rice in different areas, seasons and using different farming techniques. “Its still far away from mass application, but at least we see the light of hope.” Human-induced methane,
31、 though less abundant than carbon dioxide in the air, is responsible for 20 percent of the global warming effect. Rice paddies are the largest single source of methane linked to human activity. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, China produces 209 million tons of rice in 2014, or 28 percent o
32、f the worlds total of 734 million. 33SUSIBA2 Rice will be a major breakthrough because_.Ait tastes with a barley flavor. Bit well balances environmental protection and grains increase.Cit contains more starch than the ordinary rice.Dit gives off less methane in summer than in winter. 34What can we learn from the text? AScientists will soon grow the new rice in large areas. BHuma
