27、e discovery of a gene(基因) linked to intelligence has made the experts think again.Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been looking into genetic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly different gene is more common in tho

An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of children i

D The United Nations predicts worldwide temperatures over the next five years may at times rise to more than 1.5 degrees Centigrade above pre-industrial levels. T

37、he U.N.s World Meteorological(气象的) Organization, WMO, said the prediction suggests continued warming could present a challenge to climate change goals set in the 2015 Paris Agreement,which seeks to limit world temperature rises through major cuts in human-caused greenhouse gases.The WMO said there w
