44、 that sea-level rise may be in the range of 1 to 2 meters by 2100, with a small risk of an even greater rise. For many islands and low-lying regions (地区), even small rises will cause disasters.

53、silly but for me the custom of kissing bread before you started cutting it was simply amazing. Its not so common nowadays to treat food that way, since you hardly ever bake your own bread.
