rapidly expanding southward.The idea was introduced in the 1970s when the once-rich region turned barren（贫瘠的）dueto climate change and intensive land use.But its not a new idea;China has its own desertvegetation project to hold back the Gobi Desert!Thanks to the Chinese plan,the African projectaims to plant 100 million hectares of trees by 2030 across the entire Africa.The initiative is adecade in,and around 15%completed,and there have already been benefits for manycommunities and wildlife.Its bringing life back to the continents degraded landscapes at anunprecedented scale,providing not only food security and jobs but a reason to stay for the millionswho live along its path.The creators of the wall hope it will bring an urgently needed solution to the threats facingthe African continent,creating 10 million jobs in rural areas,as well as preventing 250 milliontons of carbon.The initiative is Africa-driven,which for those on the continent,is vital,and mayhold the key to

emotions,possiblythrough smell,but questions remained over whether they could detect stress and if this could bedone through odor（气味）.Clara Wilson is a PhD student at Queens University Belfast and first author of a newresearch.He and colleagues report how they first constructed a stand bearing three containers,eachlid with a hole.They were able to train four dogs to indicate the container holding a particularbreath and sweat sample,even when the line-up included unused gauze（纱布），samples fromanother person，or samples from the same person taken at a different time of day.Then the teamturned to breath and sweat samples collected from 36 people asked to count backwards from 9,000in units of 17.The participants reported feeling stressed by the task and,for the 27 who carried itout in the laboratory,their blood pressure and heart rate rose.The dogs were taught to pick out samples taken just after the task from a line-up thatincluded two containers holding unused gauze.The researchers then tested whether the dogs coulddo the same when the line-up included unused gauze and samples taken from the same participantjust before the task,when they were more relaxed.Each set of samples was shown to a single dogin 20 trials.The results reveal that the dogs chose the“stressed”sample in 675 out of the 720 trials.“While it is unclear what chemicals the dogs were picking up on,the study has definitivelyproven that people,when they have a stress response,their odor profile changes,”said Wilson,adding the findings could prove useful when training service dogs,such as those that supportpeople with post-traumatic stress disorder（创伤后应激障碍）.32.The first paragraph is mainly written to_.A.argue a dog-related statementB.introduce a stress-based researchC.analyze causes of stress in daily lifeD.explain why previous studies failed33.What does Paragraph 2 imply？A.Humans may produce odor when stressed.B.Unused gauze is the key to the experiment.C.Stress is characterized
