33、thier than meat. There are nearly 2000 kinds of edible insects, many of them packed with protein, calcium, fiber, iron and zinc.

Harvesting insects could provide livelihoods to some of the worlds poorest people.Finally, insects are a far more sustainable source of food than livestock.

35、 greenhouse-gas emissions, thats more than transport. By contrast, insects produce relatively few greenhouse gases and raising them requires much less land and water. And they eat almost anything.Despite all this, most Westerners find insects hard to swallow.One solution is to use protein extracted

But they do say this expression dates back to the late 1860s.Here is another expression related to button: button-down. People often wear button-down shirts to the office. Button-dow

41、n as an adjective means to be conservative or traditional. People described as button-down stay as close as possible to the normal way of dressing and behaving.When buttoning a button you slip it into a buttonhole. A buttonhole traps the button. So, to buttonhole someone means you have trapped them

42、in a spoken conversation. Now, lets say you find yourself buttonholed in a conversation at a party. Someone just keeps talking and talking and talking! Finally, you cant take it any longer. You tell the person to button it! This is a direct, but unacceptable way of saying “Stop talking!” Button your
