Painter39。s previous research has shown that dust blowing onto the Rocky Mountains is making the snow melt much faster there because dark snow absorbs more sunlight. He found a record of soot from ice samples higher up in the mountains. And he thinks there was human influence. “ Industrial pollution from Europe wasn39。t blowing onto Iceland or Norway, which remained cold and frosty,” says Gifford Miller. “ Maybe it gave the Alpine folks in Switzerland and the Italian Alps a head start in cultivating highlands again,” he says. Could that be why we have Swiss milk chocolate today instead of Norwegian chocolate? “ Could be,” Miller says, with a chuckle. Actually, it turns out that the Swiss did invent milk chocolate a decade or two after the glaciers started to give way to more pastureland (牧場 ), so the soot idea is not an entirely crazy idea. But Miller learns a much bigger lesson from understanding how soot and dust can bring about quick changes to the world39。s glaciers. “ Things that impact on the climate system in an abrupt way are the things that people should be concerned about for the future.” 47.

For a time we both wanted to be on the top ten list. But it was hard。 he did better in math than me while I was better at English. At first, we each saw the other as a petitor and peted with each other and we never exchanged learning experience, and even didn39。t talk to each other. As time went on, we both found we didn39。t make any progress. The teacher knew that and had a talk with us. She told us to cooperate by helping each other at the weak point. We did so, and several months later, our “ weak subjects” improved a lot and at last we realized our dreams. This experience made me realize the importance of cooperation even in a petitive situation.
