19、n taken by Catlin Gabels Tiny Forest project launched by teacher Patrick Walsh.Forests typically take hundreds of years to mature,with four stages of growth.Tiny forests shorten the time through the planting of all four layers,Walsh explained.The end result is a fast-growing,native forest in about 2
20、0 years.Over 600 plants from 43 species will be planted in the tiny forest,the first one in Oregon.Walsh was inspired to build a tiny forest after hearing about this idea,which emerged in Japan and has taken hold in North America.He shared his vision with seniors in his class.The seniors researched
21、tiny forests and made a proposal resulting in Clean Water Services donating 60 trees and$5,000 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.Armed with these resources,Walsh and the students started working.Something I didnt really expect was the outpouring of students enthusiasm.Seeing s

27、 in California,Nevada and New Mexico continuing growing.The fact that so many people of the region need the limited resources has led experts to predict a major water shortfall that will cost billions to deal with.A new study that reveals climate change is going to dry out the region even further is
28、 painting a serious picture of the future.According to the study,global warming could increase the long-term water shortfall to the 1,815 billion cubic metres by adding another 439 million cubic metres of water.Based on the price of adding reservoir（水 库）capacities in California,meeting basic water s
29、hortages could cost$549 billion if climate change is factored in.Higher water prices would make the adaptation even more expensive if no water could be found at all in the drier future.But even beyond the mere cost of creating more reservoirs,theres no denying the fact that a hotter,drier Southwest
30、will demand more and more energy for cooling.Theres another fact that climate change will make cities in states like Nevada and New Mexico far less sustainable than they already are.Theres also the fact that a warmer climate will have a long-lasting impact on the regions ecosystem.Previous study has

36、ecame widespread.For optimists,this was a promise of liberation:At last humanity would be freed from constant toil,and we could all devote our days to more refined pursuits.But others saw a threat:Millions of people would be thrown out of work,and desperate masses would roam the streets.Looking back
37、 from 50 years hence,the controversy over automation seems a quaint and curious episode.The dispute was never resolved.A.J.Hayes,a leader（and no relation to me）,wrote in 1964:Automation is not just a new kind of mechanization but a revolutionary force capable of overturning our social order.Whereas

42、 run them ourselves.These trends contradict almost all the expectations of early writers on automation,both optimists and pessimists.So far,automation has neither liberated us from the need to work nor deprived us of the opportunity to work.Instead,were working more than ever.What about trades close
43、r to my own vital interests?Will science be automated?Technology already has a central role in many areas of research;for example,genome sequences could not be read by traditional lab-bench methods.Replacing the scientist will presumably be a little harder than replacing the lab technician,but when
44、a machine exhibits enough curiosity and tenacity,I think well just have to welcome it as a companion in zealous research.And if the scientist is elbowed aside by an automaton,then surely the science writer cant hold out either.Im ready for my 15-hour workweek.32.In Paragraph 1,the writer mainly want
