17、ite readings, and found that the previous numbers were far too optimistic. The new research shows that some 150 million people are now living on the land that will be below the high-tide line by mid-century. In Thailand, more than 10 percent of citizens now live on the land that is likely to be cove

18、red with water by 2050, compared with just 1 percent according to the earlier technique. The political and commercial capital, Bangkok, is particularly dangerous.In other places, the migration caused by rising seas could cause or worsen regional conflicts.

While this may seem like another opportunistic innovation, its really full of hidden false realities.The median income (中位收入) recorded in the United States of America was about $63,000 in 2018.

25、,000 to $150,000 for a TikTok brand partnership, and TikTokers with over a million followers can make up to $30,000 a month $360,000 a year.

26、ore ways than one. Not only is it an overpaid “job”, it promotes undeserved admiration from viewers and a false sense of reality. Many of these famous TikTokers are still teens, and the effects of fame at such an early stage in life might cause issues later in life, such as mental illness. Teens bet

TikTok can be great if used properly. Money alone is not good, technology alone is not good and connectedness can be bad if its on

31、ly online.”Again, as a fellow consumer of TikTok, I do enjoy the app when I have some time to kill and need a good laugh. Im not against someone making a living on entertainment, but what does getting famous of a 15-second video teach young people?28. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragrap
