25、azier than we once thought. Scientists say that deep within Uranus（天王星） and Neptune（海王星） it rains diamondsOn Earth. diamonds form under extreme heat and pressure. The inside of Uranus and Neptune also has high temperatures and pressures. Whats more, the blue planets are largely made up of icy water

26、and gases such as methane(甲烷).So scientists have long believed that deep inside the two planets, the heat and pressure the methane into hydrogen (氢)and carbon (碳) Then diamond rain would form, falling toward the center of the planets.But no one could prove that this would really work-until now. In a

27、 study published recently in the journal Nature Astronomy, scientists say they were able to create this kind of diamond rain in a lab, reported The Guardian.Scientists used high-powered lasers to create pairs of shockwaves through a kind of plastic. The plastic is made from hydrogen and carbon, much

28、 like methane. The shock waves created high pressure and heat, like that inside Uranus and Neptune.The experimental time is very short, Dominik Kraus, lead author of the study, told The Guardian. That we saw this very clear signature of diamonds was actually very, very surprising”.The diamonds creat

35、d meat purchases to hamburger, choosing chicken, pork and fish instead.Restaurant owners, too, must deal with the high prices. Mark Hutchens, owner of the 50 Yard Line Steakhouse in Lubbock, raised his menu prices for beef items by about 5 percent in November. Since then, the owner of the small eati

Pete Bonds, a 62-year-old Texas rancher and president of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, said thats a big

40、concern. “But such fears may be unfounded, Robb said. “Three years ago, economists thought consumers would start finding substitutions for beef as the drought spread. Were surprised we havent seen more of that, he said.South Dakota rancher Chuck OConnor thinks that consumers wont abandon beef for go
