Humanity has begun wrestling with the dangers of global threats such as climate change. But few authorities are planning for catastrophic solar storms-huge eruptions of mass and energy from the sun that destroy Earth’s magnetic field. In a recent paper, two Harvard University scientists estimate the potential economic damage from such an event will increase in the future and could equal the current U.S. GDP-about $20 trillion-150years from now.

This kind of storm has happened before. The so-called Carrington Event in 1859, the most intense magnetic storm ever recorded on Earth, caused auroras (极光) in the atmosphere and even delivered electric shocks to telegraph operators. But a Carrington-scale storm today would cause far more harm because society now depends so heavily on electrical power grids, communications satellites and GPS.

In an effort to quantify that threat, astrophysicists Abraham Loeb and Manasvi Lingam of the Harvard- Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics developed a mathematical model that assumes society’s vulnerability (脆弱性) to solar storms will grow with technological advances. Under this model, during the next 50 years the potential for economic damage will depend primarily on the rising odds of a strong solar storm over time. Beyond 50 years our vulnerability will increase dramatically with technological progress until the latter levels off.

Some scientists question the model’s predictions. “Estimating the economic impact is challenging now, let alone in over a century,’’ says Edward Oughton, a research associate at the University of Cambridge’s Center for Risk Studies. Yet he warns that uncertainty should not stop us from practical preparations, such as making power grids stronger and improving early-warning systems.

Loeb and Lingam think up a much wider strategy: a $100-billion magnetic deflector shield (导流板), positioned between Earth and the sun. This idea seems “pretty preposterous,” however, given that solar particles arrive at Earth from all directions, says Daniel Baker, director of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder.

A better understanding of “space weather”-the changing condition in Earth’s outer space environment, including solar radiation and particles-could help find the best strategies for confronting a dangerous solar storm, says Stracey Worman, a senior analyst at consulting firm Abt Associates. “This is a challenging but important question,” Worman says, “that we need more eyes on.”

58. According to Edward Oughton, which of the following about solar storms is right?

A. They will become much stronger in 150 years. B. Technology makes their potential damage grow.

C. It’s difficult to predict their possible economic damage. D. Space weather forecast can effectively help deal with them. 59. The underlined word “preposterous” in Paragraph 5 means A. unreasonable

B. practical

. . D. inflexible

C. innovative

60. The author writes the passage mainly to A. report the damage of solar storms

B. remind people to guard against solar storms C. introduce the characteristics of solar storms D. analyze the possible cause of solar storms

C

There are plenty of good reasons for a young person to choose to go to university: intellectual growth, career opportunities, having fun. Around half of school-leavers in the rich world now do so, and the share is rising in poorer countries, too.

Governments are keen on higher education, seeing it as a means to increase social mobility and economic growth. But they tend to overestimate the benefits and ignore the costs of expanding university education. Often, public money just feeds the arms race for qualifications.

As more young people seek degrees, the returns both to them and to governments are lower. Employers demand degrees for jobs that never required them in the past and have not become more demanding since. In a desperate attempt to stand out, students are studying even longer, and delaying work, to obtain master’s degrees.

Spending on universities is usually justified by the “graduate premium” — the increase in earnings that graduates enjoy over non-graduates. These individual gains, the thinking goes, add up to an economic increase for society as a whole. But the graduate premium is a flawed unit of calculating. Part of the usefulness of a degree is that it gives a graduate jobseeker an advantage at the expense of non-graduates. It is also a signal to employers of general qualities, such as intelligence and diligence, that someone already has in order to get into a university. Some professions require qualifications. But a degree is not always the best measure of the skills and knowledge needed for a job. With degrees so common, recruiters are using them as a simple way to evaluate applicants. Non-graduates are thus increasingly locked out of nice work.

In any case, the premium counts only the winners and not the losers. Across the rich world, a third of university students never graduate. It is the weakest students who are drawn in as higher education expands and who are most likely to drop out. They pay fees and sacrifice earnings to study, but see little increase in their future incomes. When dropouts are included, the expected financial return to starting a degree for the weakest students shrinks to almost nothing. Many school-leavers are being misled about the probable value
