[单项选择]Fish farming in the desert may at first sound like an anomaly, but in Israel over the last decade a scientific hunch has turned into a bustling business.
Scientists here say they realized they were no to something when they found that brackish water drilled from underground desert aquifers (含土水层) hundreds of feet deep could be used to raise warm-water fish. The geothermal water, less than one-tenth as saline as sea water, free of pollutants and a toasty 98 degrees on average, proved an ideal match.
"It was not simple to convince people that growing fish in the desert makes sense," said Samuel Appelbaum, a professor and fish biologist at the Jacob Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research at the Sede Boqer campus of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
"It is important to stop with the reputation that arid land is nonfertile, useless land," said Professor Appelbaum, who pioneered the concept of desert aquaculture in Israel in the late 1980s. "We should consider arid land wh

What difference does it make if we read texts displayed on a computer screen instead of on paper printed with ink The computer certainly does not guarantee deeper comprehension, greater subtlety of mind, or a wider range of imaginative reference. The mediation of a computer, however, put new powers at the disposal of intelligence. For one thing, the computer is itself can do simple reading—as I have noted, it can" read" an immense body of literature in search of designated words. As anyone knows who has ever spent days in libraries in search of errant(错误的) information, simply identifying relevant sources absorbs inordinate(无节制的，过度的)amounts of time in research. The objections might be raised that a search of texts by computer may block the serendipitous(偶然得到的 ) discoveries that occur while browsing in the stacks of great libraries. No member of the academy need fear that the use of comput
A. guarantees deeper comprehension.
B. ensures greater subtlety of mind.
C. offers a wider range of imaginative reference.
D. saves time to find information needed.
