A study, 36 in the latest edition of Ecology and Evolution, reveals the 37 age of some Amazonian tree species - more than 8 million years - and 38 shows that they have survived previous periods as warm as many of the global warming imagined periods 39 for the year 2100. The authors write that, having survived warm periods in the past, the trees will 40 survive future warming, provided there are no other major environmental changes. 41 extreme droughts and forest fires will impact Amazonia as temperatures 42 , the trees will stand the direct impact of higher temperatures. The authors 43 that as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions to minimize the risk of drought and fire, conservation policy should remain 44 on preventing deforestation（采伐森林）for agriculture and mining. The study disagrees with other recent researches which predicted tree species extinctions 45 relatively small increases in global average air temperatures. Study co-author Dr Simon Lewis (UCL Geography) said the 46 were good news for Amazon tree species, but warned that drought and over-exploitation of the forest remained major 47 to the Amazons future. Dr Lewis said: “The past cannot be compared directly with the future. while tree species seem likely to 48 higher air temperatures than today, the Amazon forest is being transformed for agriculture and 49 , and what remains is being degraded by logging, and increasingly split up by fields and roads. “Species will not move as freely in todays Amazon as they did in previous warm periods, when there was no human 50 . Similarly, todays climate change is extremely fast, making comparisons with slower changes in the past 51 .” “With a clearer 52 of the relative risks to the Amazon forest, we 53 that direct human impacts - such as forest clearances for agriculture or mining - should remain a key point of conservation policy. We also need more aggressive 54 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to make minimum the risk of drought and fire impacts and 55 the future of most Amazon tree species.”36.

And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forbears fought are still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God. We dare not forget today that we are the heirs（继承人）of that first revolution.Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe (enemy) alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.Let every nation know whether it wi
