28、ecause of her many activities, she has no time for a class in physical education, or PE.So Grace is getting school credit for virtual PE. She wears a fitness tracker called Fitbit that the high school provided. She wears the Fitbit on her arm while doing exercises lasting 30 minutes or longer three
29、times a week. Her computer has a software program that records her activity which she can present for credit.A PE teacher may not be guiding the Fitbit-wearing students in person. But teachers do lead students work by setting goals such as fat burn, using the technology as their eyes and ears. We ce

But thats not true.The subnival(亚冰雪的)region is the zone between the treeline and the snowline. It is 5 to 15 times as large as the are
37、as of glaciers(冰川) and permanent snow, which means studying it is vital to understanding the Himalayas as a whole.The treeline is the edge of an ecosystem where trees are able to grow, and beyond the treeline environmental conditions become too tough to allow tree growth. Meanwhile, snowlines are th
38、e boundaries on mountains that separate areas with permanent snow(where snow is present for the majority of the year) from areas with seasonal or no snow.Researchers used satellite data from 1993 to 2018 to measure plant cover between 4,150 meters and 6,000 meters above sea level.

39、covered that the greatest increase in plant cover was between an altitude of 5,000 meters and 5,500 meters. Subnival plants mostly include small shrubs and grasses.Even areas once completely occupied by glaciers now hold rocks covered with mosses(苔醉), lichen (地衣), and sometimes even flowers. In addi
40、tion, the snowline seems to be retreating, while the treeline is expanding. This shows that the region is becoming warmer, causing more melting of snow and allowing vegetation to move up in height.In the past 40 years, 25% of all Himalayan ice has been lost due to global warming. Himalayan glaciers
41、are reducing by about 0.5 meters each year. The rate of glacier melting has doubled in this decade. The melting of glaciers increases water in the region, making it wetter. Receding snow also forces the snowline to move up, providing a greater amount of area for the warm and moist conditions, which

45、y languages do you think there are in the entire world? Altogether, people around the world speak about 6,000 languages. Does that surprise you? 36 Today, about half the worlds spoken languages are endangered. Experts say that another language becomes extinct(灭绝)every two weeks. How do languages die
46、? They die when people stop using them. But most people dont just stop speaking their native language. Its more complex than that. More often, theyre either pressured or forced to do so. 37 Theyre often pressured to speak the areas main language instead of their own. This leads many immigrants to st
47、op using their native language. They might not even teach it to their children.Slowly, the native language dies out.Sometimes, languages shift or develop instead of becoming extinct.
