①A new report from the United Nations said that glaciers (冰川) are melting (融化) faster than ever before. This is a problem because many people depend on these glaciers for their food and water. To solve it, China is using some smart ideas to make glaciers melt slowly.
②One idea is to use special glacier blankets (毯子) . At Dagu Glacier in Sichuan, scientists covered a 500-square-meter area with blankets made of geotextiles (土工织物) . The blankets stopped the glacier from getting too hot from the sun, which slowed melting by about 34% from August 2020 to October 2021. Another test used very thin, high-tech blankets on Glacier No. 1 in Xinjiang. They worked best in summer. The test showed they slowed melting by up to 70% during the hottest months.
③Scientists also create artificial snow (人造雪) to help glaciers stay cooler and melt more slowly. In April and May 2023, scientists did this in the Bailanghe Glacier in the Qilian Mountains. This project used rockets to make snow. The glacier grew 5. 9% bigger.
④Besides, China also tries to watch glaciers carefully. Now drones (无人机) and satellites (卫星) are used to monitor (监控) glaciers.
⑤China's good actions have made a difference to protecting glaciers. These actions not only slow down melting but also provide important experience for global climate actions.
27. How many ways has China used to make glaciers melt slowly

Every disabled person needs to be with others, especially a child. No child should be isolated (孤立的) . 34 Ask them if they would like to join you in doing what you are doing.
Remember, we all want to feel loved, and disabled people are no different. Looking at them as any other person will make things easier for both of you.
