美国东北部由于靠海水路发达 水还可以提供power，因此城市发展早，成为工业中心，本来也有很多人从事农业，但是他们的土地并不适合农业，再在上内陆地区农业发展好，竞争大，很多人就开始从事纺织了，后来有铁路了，西边的矿产可以运到东边来，同时也促进了铁路沿线城市的发展，说南部地区一直发展农业，经济不发达，有钱人少
Agriculture andanimal domestication
The firstevidence for the existence of agricultural practices in South America datesback to about 9000 BC, when squashes,chillies and beans began tobe cultivated for food in the highlands of the Amazon Basin. Potteryevidence further suggests thatmanioc, which remains a staple food today,was being cultivated as early as 2000 BC.
By 2000 BC,many agrarian villagecommunities had been settled throughout the Andes and the surrounding religiousregions. Fishing became a widespread practice along the coast, helping establishfish as a primary source of food. Irrigation systems were also developed atthis time, which aided in the rise of an agrarian society.
South Americancultures began domesticating llamas, vicu?as, guanacos, and alpacas in thehighlands of the Andes circa 3500 BC. Besides their use as sources of meat andwool, these animals were used for transportation of goods

Sea otters (Enhydra lutris) live along the Pacific coast ofNorth America. Their historic range included shallow waters of the Bering Strait and Kamchatka, and as far south as Japan. Sea otters have about26,000 to 165,000 strands of hair per squarecentimetre of skin, a rich fur for whichhumans hunted them almost to extinction. By the time the 1911 Fur Seal Treaty gave themprotection, so few sea otters remained that the fur trade had becomeunprofitable. Sea otters eat shellfish and other invertebrates (especially clams, abalone, and sea urchins), frequentlyusing rocks as crude tools to smash open shells. They grow to 1.0 to 1.5 metres (2.5 to5 ft) in length and weigh 30 kilograms. Although once near extinction,they have begun to spread again, from remnant populations in California and Alaska.
Unlike most marine mammals (such as seals or whales), sea ottersdo not have a layer of insulating blubber. As withother species of otter, they rely on a layer of air trapped in their fur, whichthey keep topped up by blowing into the fur from their mouths. They spend mostof their time in the water, whereas other otters spend much of their time onland.

阅读部分CO2的三个方法 1，种树 2，把二氧化碳倒入海底 3把二氧化碳和地壳中的金属氧化物进行反应
教授反驳观点：1 树死后会将二氧化碳释放出来 2,海底并不稳定，如果有地震或者火山爆发就会把二氧化碳释放出来
3 这种化学反应需要极高的温度 而温度的来源是通过燃烧 fossil fuel 因此又产生二氧化碳
