21、 discovered a surprising bit of beauty during one of her trips. Along the shoulder of the highway, there was a long stretch of wild flowers. They were thin and delicate and purple, and moved back and forth in the wind as if whispering poems to each other.The first time she saw the flowers, Mary was

22、seized by an uncontrollable urge to pull over on the highway and pull a bunch from the soil. She carried them into her grandmother s room when she arrived at the hospital and placed them in a vase by her bed.For a moment her grandmother seemed more lucid （清醒的）than usual. Shethanked Maryfor the flowe

23、rs, commented on theirbeauty and asked where she had gottenthem. Mary was overjoyed by the ability of the flowers to wake something up inside her sick grandmother.Afterwards, Mary began carrying scissors in the car during her trips to visit her grandmother. She would quickly glide onto the shoulder,

24、 jump out of the car, and clip a bunch of flowers. Each time Mary placed the flowers in the vase, her grandmother s eyes would light up and they would have a splendid conversation.One morning in late October, Mary got a call that her grandmother had taken a turn for the worse. Mary was in such a hur

25、ry to get to her grandmother that she sped past her flower spot. She decided to turn around, head several miles back, and cut a bunch.Mary arrived at the hospital to find her grandmother very weak and unresponsive.

30、uard agriculture. In this cold and deserted environment, no grains, no gardens, no trees can grow. Yet at the end of a 130-meter-long tunnel cut out of solid stone is a room filled with humanity' s most precious treasure, thelargest and most diverse seed collection more than a half-billion seeds

31、.A quiet rescue mission is under way. With growing evidence that unchecked climate change will seriously affect food production and threaten the diversity of crops around the world, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault represents a major step towards ensuring the preservation of hundreds of thousands of c

32、rop varieties. This is a seed collection, but more importantly, it is a collection of the traits found within the seeds: the genes that give one variety resistance to a particular pest and another variety tolerance for hot,dryweather.Few people will ever see or come into contactwith the contents of

33、thisvault. In sealed boxes, behind multiple locked doors, monitored by electronic security systems, enveloped in below-zero temperatures, and surrounded by tons of rock, hundreds of millions of seeds are protected in their mountain fortress. Frozen in such conditions inside the mountain,seeds of mos

34、t majorcrops will remain viable for hundreds of years, or longer. Seeds of some are capable of retaining their ability to grow for thousands of years.Everyone can look back now and say that the Seed Vault was a good and obvious idea, and that of course the Norwegian government should have approved a

35、nd funded it. But back in 2004, when the Seed Vault was proposed, it was viewed as a crazy, impractical, and expensive idea.We knew that nothing would provide a definite guarantee. But we were tired, fed up, and frankly scared of the steady, greater losses of crop diversity. TheSeed Vault was built

36、by optimists who wanted to do something to preserve options so that humanity and its crops might be better prepared for change. If it simply resupplied seed gene banks with samples those gene banks had lost, this would repay our efforts.The Seed Vault is about hope and commitment about what can be d

What is the Seed Vault according to the passage?A. It s a tunnel where the collected seeds are displayed.B. It ' s a stone room that contains the s

42、ess,and they are more likelytotake riskswhen people are watching them or when they are competing againstother men.

44、nd social risks. Psychologists discover that just if a person enjoys bungee jumping, it doesn' t mean he or she willtake chances when investing money or that he or she will tell a joke to a group of strangers.Interestingly, research shows that in most cases men are less cautious than women, but

45、women take more social risks than men.
