retell:
Today I' d like to address the topic of the Cariboo gold rush of 1858, which began when gold was discovered in frontier region, in Canadian province of British Columbia.
By 1861, thousands of men had flocked to the region hoping strike it rich.
Naturally as town grew, supplies have to be brought in, and this was done with mules;
the mules were quite reliable but there were some drawbacks at the same time. the mules carried heavy load could only walk 15 miles a day, this mean a typical trip to Cariboo, it'll take as long as 20 days.
so, some merchants and packers have decided to try a new approach, believe it or not, they shipped in a herd of camels.
I know that sounds strange, but in fact, camels had been used quite effectively during California gold rush some 10 years earlier.
however the results in the region weren't quite at the same.
because the camels couldn't carry heavy loads as the packers expected them do.
their two-toed feet were perfect for desert travel, but they weren't suited for the Cariboo mountain terrain.
to make matters worse, the mules became very agitated when they came across a camel, then this caused lot of accidents on the treacherous mountain trail.
the merchants went so far as to threaten camel owners with a lawsuit.
but the reason the merchants finally got rid of camels is because these animals simply weren't cut out for the job.

3）gas hydrate
retell:
Scientists are always on lookout for alternative of energy, today we'll discuss one, that's so plentiful, they say it could supply more energy more than the coal and oil in the world.
it' s found in something called gas hydrate, believe it or not, this is kind of ice.
the water in this ice was way down below the earth surface when it was frozen, so they under a lot of pressure.
trapped inside the crystals of ice are individual molecules methane. and all this make this gas hydrate pretty strange stuff.
if you touch a match to a piece this ice, it'll burst into flame;
some geologist bring a chunk of it up to surface to study at normal air pressure and temperature, it started to hiss and bubble, then release tons of methane into the atmosphere.
now as you might guess, this could this gas hydrate kind of hard for miners to handle.
many environmentalists warn that these methane are the greenhouse gas, that they could really worsen the problem of global warming.
so with all these drawbacks, I'm not gonna hold breathe waiting for it to fuel my furnace.
