Louis Druehl is sailing his boat along Bamfield, a coastal community in British Columbia, Canada. For 51 years, the boat has taken him to Kelp Bay. There, seaweed（海草）is growing under the water’s surface（表面）.
Known as the Kelp Grandfather, Druehl began growing kelp, a kind of seaweed, in 1982. He has studied it, planted it, cooked it and written a prize-winning book about it. He thinks more people should learn about its advantages.
As climate（气候）change influences the planet, the world is turning to seaweed as a possible solution. It’s used to produce recyclable plastic. It helps the ocean’s ecosystem（生态系统） remain balanced and it takes in CO2.
People think of forests as the best way to deal with climate change. But some researchers say seaweed is a better way. Unlike trees, seaweed doesn’t need fertilizers（化肥） or fresh water. It grows faster than trees do. And it doesn’t require any land. “When we’re planting trees, we need to make sure they don’t take away that land from food production,” said Katie Lebling, a researcher.
Seaweed could also become a kind of food. Could seaweed farms provide enough protein（蛋白质）for the world? Carlos Duarte, a lead in seaweed scientist at he Red Sea Research Center in Saudi Arabia, thinks so. “When you look at how we are going to feed the world’s population in 2050, in a way that doesn’t harm the environment, there is only one pathway;” he says. “Seaweed farming.”
In the past ten years or so, seaweed farming has become popular’ in British Columbia There’s long line of seaweed farmers witting t learn from the Kelp Grandfather.

【推荐2】Forgiveness (原谅，宽恕) means different things to different people. Generally, however, it includes a decision to let go of anger and thoughts of revenge (复仇). The act that hurt or displeased you might always be with you, but forgiveness can reduce its control on you and free you from the control of the person who harmed you. Forgiveness can even lead to feelings of understanding for the one who hurt you. How do you start to forgive? Try the following steps.
Calm yourself. To remove your anger, try a simple stress-management way. "Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love, " Frederic says.
Don't wait for an apology. "Many times the person who hurt you has no plan to apologize, " Frederic says. "They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time. " Keep in mind that forgiveness does not mean balancing with the person who upset you.
Keep off the unpleasant. Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused your pain. "Don't pay attention to your wounded feelings, learn to look for love, beauty and kindness around you," Frederic says.
Realize forgiveness is helpful. Research has shown that people who forgive have more energy, better appetite and better sleep pattern.
Don't forget to forgive yourself. "For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge, " Frederic says. "But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it. "

【推荐3】Maybe you are an average(中等的) student. You probably think you will never be a top student. But anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how.
Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule(时间表) of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to leave enough time for fun. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will make you realize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study place. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or televisions! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.
There are other ways that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
