20、 when they get caught in gillnets.Some estimates suggestthat up to a half-million birds are caught in them each year.Over the years,researchers have created devices（装置）to prevent the birds from trying to catch fish near or in gillnets,but those didnt work well.To find a way that would work for all s
21、eabirds,the researchers first studied seabirds in a general sense,looking to find things that they would avoid.They noted that seabirds avoided eye contact with other creatures.Then the researchers came up with a simple ideathey put a small pole to a regular buoy and then attached apair of googly ey
22、es（金鱼眼）to the top of it.They made the eyes big enough so that even birds with poor eyesight,such as geese,would see them.Adding to the effectiveness of the device,waves made the eyes move back andforth.And the wind made the buoy spin very slowly,making sure that birds from every direction would get
23、a goodlook at the eyes.To test their idea,the researchers selected several sites near gillnets and counted how many birdsapproached and how many attempted to catch fish near the nets.They then set up their googly-eyed buoys andonce again counted birds.Over the course of 62 days,they found the number

34、 that the studys findings were inconsistent with the dynamics of the global carbon cycle.He warned that“the claimthat global tree restoration(复原)is our most effective climate solution is simply scientifically incorrectand dangerously misleading”.12.What do we know about the trillion-tree idea?A.It w
