In the Kubuqi Desert（沙漠） of Inner Mongolia, there stands a large power station called the Junma Solar Power Station. Walking around it, visitors will find it hard to imagine that the area, now covered with blue photovoltaic panels（光伏电池板） and green plants, was once called the “sea of death.”
Covering an area of around 1.4 million square meters, the Junma Station has over 196,000 photovoltaic panels to form the picture of a running horse. That’s where its name comes from. It’s not only the largest desert photovoltaic power station in China, but also the largest in the world.
By September 2022, the project had produced over 2,312 billion kwh of green electricity. It helped save 760,000 tons of standard coal（煤） and cut CO emissions by 1.85 million tons. Besides bringing green energy to local people and industries, the project also helps control desertification（沙漠化） and improve local people’s lives. Plants grow well under the photovoltaic panels and provide enough food for sheep.
The success of this project explains how a huge solar farm has played an important role in protecting the environment. It also offers valuable experience to both China and the world, encouraging them to use the clean energy to turn more “dead” deserts into oases（绿洲）.

Nowadays, everybody is taking selfies（自拍照）. From your best friend to your favorite pop star, selfies are taking over WeChat and Sina Weibo. The word “selfie” was even named Word of the Year by Oxford Dictionary in 2013. But why do people feel the need to take them Are they doing us more harm than good
According to Dr Pamela Rutledge, psychologist（心理学家） in the US, posting a selfie online shows a biological need for self - validation（自我验证）. Humans have an area in their brain that controls social activity. Receiving positive feedback（反馈） on a selfie you have posted online can be the same as someone stopping you in the street and speaking highly of you on your appearance. The act of taking a selfie also puts you in a position of power. You are the director and the subject of your own work of art. It helps people feel in control of their self - image and can be a powerful tool.
But can it go too far Psychologists warn that too much time spent on selfies can affect people’s confidence, particularly in teenagers. If you are spending a lot of time choosing the perfect selfie clothes or finding the right place, then there could be a problem. Posting selfies online can also harm your personal relationships. UK studies found that many people find it hard to get on with people who are often posting selfies online.
So next time you use your smart phone to take a quick selfie, it may be better to drop it straight back into your pocket.
58. According to Rutledge, posting selfies online means ______.
A. helping people know each other well B. letting people show off their new clothes
C. showing a biological need for self- validation D. helping people take prettier photos
59. If somebody gets positive feedback on a selfie, how will he feel
A. Sad. B. Happy. C. Angry. D. Embarrassed.
60. Which of the following is Not True ,
A. People want good comments on their selfies.
B. An area in the brain controls social activities.
C. The act of taking a selfie can’t put you in a position of power.
D. Taking selfies helps people feel in control of their self - image.
