And so， we gathered one late winter morning to learn, prepare and walk.Scrappy and Flora，our wolves that day，were brought to the center when only a few days old. “They lived in the house with us for the first several months. We treated them l

10、ike human babies, fed them and slept with them,” said Shelley. So, they are totally used to people. However, these are wild animals. For that reason, Shelley and Casey explained, the walk is totally on the wolfs terms. “We dont approach them, but if they come up to us, we can touch them. ”With all t

11、his in mind, we headed for the woods. We were walking on a logging road when suddenly，Flora, all 60 pounds of her，hurried up to me and raised up on her legs. She was almost as tall as me. As she leaned in, put her huge muddy paws on my shoulders and sniffed my face, apparently she was saying hello i

If not, Dr. Cindy Ayers-Elliott will tell you the real story of Foot Print Farms.The original concept of building Foot Print Farms was simple. When Ayers-Elliott returned to her hom

18、etown after graduation，she didn t have to look any further than her state s alarming health statistics to find a mission. Everywhere she turned, there were reports of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and heart disease. “The problem was already identified. explains Ayers-Elliott. “Too many Miss

19、issippians were seriously unhealthy and it didnt take research to see that. And many of the state s greatest health challenges could directly result from poor diet. ”These days，Foot Print Farms, which started with a few raised beds of herbs and vegetables, is making fresh, naturally grown food. When

20、 speaking of the key to my success，the co-op model works because we share the work and rewards，” notes Ayers-Elliott. “ A perfect example is the Wingfield High School football team. To earn the money for equipment and other items, players committed to working five hours a week on the farm，and by the

21、 end of the summer they had produced 1，000 melons and the profits from their sales helped to buy weights，T-shirts，sweat suits and pregame meals. But the lessons they learned about the rewards of hard work and working together to accomplish something were even more valuable products of their efforts.

22、 ”It s a model that can easily be learned in other places and I m looking forward to seeing some of our current partners do just thatto take what they have learned here and spin it off in other communities,Ayers-Elliott remarks. She is now looking forward to developing an agritourism aspect to the f

26、urages people to experience farmD. Agritourism is becoming increasingly popular in America.DWe can video chat with astronauts aboard the International Space Station and watch live footage from the frozen heights of Everest. But communicating with a submarine (潜艇）or a diver is not so easy. The lack o

27、f practical methods for sharing data between underwater and airborne devices has long been a frustration for scientists. The difficulty stems from the fact that radio signals work perfectly in air travel but poorly in water. Sonar (声呐）signals used by underwater sensors reflect off the surface of the

28、 water rather than reaching the air.Now，researchers at MIT have developed a method with the potential to revolutionize underwater communication. “What weve shown is that its actually feasible to communicate from underwater to the air, says Fadel Adib，a professor at MJT s Media Lab，who led the resear

29、ch.The MIT researchers designed a system that uses an underwater machine to send sonar signals to the surface, making vibrations (震动)corresponding to the ls and Os of the data. A surface receiver then reads and decodes these tiny vibrations. The researchers call the system TARF. It has any number of

30、 potential real-world uses, Adib says. It could be used to find downed planes underwater by reading signals from sonar devices in a plane s black box and it could allow submarines to communicate with the surface.Right now the technology is low-resolution. The initial study was conducted in the MIT s

31、wimming pool at maximum depths of around 11 or 12 feet. The next steps for the researchers are to see if TARF is workable at much greater depths and under varying conditionshigh waves, storms， schools of fish. They also want to see if they can make the technology work in the other direction air to w

32、ater.If the technology proves successful in real-world conditions, expect “texting while diving” to be the latest underwater fashion.32. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 1?A. The future of video chat underwater and in air.B. The frustrations of developing underwater devices.C. The difficulty of communication from water to air.D. The current situation of communicating with a submarine.33. What does the underlined word “feasible” mean?A. Achievable. B. Convenient. C
