In a curious juncture, a wrinkled span of desert dunes pours into the Columbia River Gorge in The Dalles, Oregon. Eons of erosion by the mighty Columbia River carved this dramatic 80-mile-long (130-kilometer-long) gorge into the Cascade Range. Declared the nation's first National Scenic Area in 1986, the area is known for its 4,000-foot (1,220-meter) canyon walls, lush rain forest, and dozens of waterfalls. mSA中国英语学习网

Global Warming 全球性暖化 - 9

Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. The term "global warming" is a specific example of the broader term climate change, which can also refer to global cooling. In common usage the term refers to recent warming and implies a human influence.

Last year it was horrible. We had no rain. All the ponds, springs, most of them dried up. We were selling double the amount of cattle last year that we normally would in summer time. Ah, this year it's affected the, the same way because these guys are trying to hold off. They don't want to buy feed. Nor the other.mSA中国英语学习网

Mark and Robbie LeValley run 400 head of cattle on a ranch that's been Mark's family for over 100 years. She is an agricultural extension agent and attributes the region's troubles more to changing climate patterns than to the heat.mSA中国英语学习网

This is the fourth year of non-typical moisture. The total precip for the year still looks ok. But it's that timing of when the moisture came, that is, that is really altered. What we see in last year was severe: low snowpack, no rain whatsoever, as far as spring rain, no monsoon rain in July or August. And so we saw a lot of things happened from the plant's standpoint and just no water for irrigation. The other thing we've seen is there's been this whole infestation of other things. We've had cutworms and grasshoppers and in, all these other factors that have come into play. So it's been kind of this triple whammy.mSA中国英语学习网

Big thing got us last year was water. We had to feed. We have to sell cows because we didn't have enough stock water to get it through when we can't afford the haul. And we knew hay was gonna be high. We didn't raise a pond or hay in this outfit, with a kept thinking it's going to rain and do some, but it never did.mSA中国英语学习网

Martin Parry headed the impact report of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which projected long-term changes in precipitation.mSA中国英语学习网
mSA中国英语学习网
They will tend to make already dry areas, the arid and semi-arid tropics drier, because the amount of evaporation due to the higher temperatures would reduce water availability. For example, in this part of southeast England where I'm standing now, a one-degree increase in temperature will generally reduce water availability by about 10 percent. We would need 10 percent more rainfall in an average year to make up for that one-degree warming.mSA中国英语学习网
mSA中国英语学习网
That same one degree of average warming would slash 10 percent off the world's rice yields, which provide a staggering 30 percent of earth's food supply, raising grave concerns about the convergence of climate change and population increase. mSA中国英语学习网

《Whenever U Remember》--乡村的节奏

《Whenever U Remember》

--无论何时只要你记起

梅雨季节到来了，

雨夜时分的思绪格外活跃，对惆怅的感触也格外敏锐，

当数天的阴雨过后，太阳重新照耀遍及你全身，更加珍味那懒洋洋的惬意。

所以，有些快乐可以唾手而得的，只要你不期望太多，

所以，有些怀抱可以在幻想中温暖你的，只要你不去睁开眼。。。

Carrie Underwood个人简介（摘）

作为美国第一个从乡村走出来的“美国偶像”，凯莉·安德伍德出生在小镇Checotah，三岁时就开始在当地的教堂唱诗班中唱歌。整个童年时期，她还在Lion和Old Settlers Day等俱乐部中助唱表演，稍大之后就已在节日期间到其他各州巡回表演了。随着演唱技艺的逐渐精湛，凯莉·安德伍德逐渐学会了演奏吉他和钢琴。在她以优异的成绩高中毕业之后，进入了东北大学主修大众传媒专业希望以后能够从事广播新闻工作。安德伍德在课余时间还是继续兼职唱歌表演。 mSA中国英语学习网
