The Effects of a Warmer World Are Visible in Animals’ Bodies
For humans, adapting to climate change will mostly be a matter of technology. More air conditioning, better-designed houses and bigger flood defences may help mitigate the effects of a warm world. 【1】 In a paper published in Trends in Ecology & Evolution, a team led by Sara
Ryding, a phd candidate at Deakin University, in Australia, shows that is already happening. Climate change is already altering the bodies of many animal species, giving them bigger beaks, limbs and ears. In some species of Australian parrot, for instance, beak size has increased by between 4 % and 10 % since 1871.
All that dovetails (吻合)nicely with evolutionary theory. “Allen’s rule”, named for Joel Asaph Allen, who suggested it in 1877, holds that warm-blooded-animals in hot places tend to have larger appendages (附属物) than those in less hot regions.【2】 For example, Fennec foxes, which are native to the Sahara desert, have strikingly large ears, especially compared with their Arctic cousins.
Ms Ryding examined museum specimens, comparing their bodies to those of their modern counterparts. She is not the first researcher to take that approach. 【3】 All sorts of other factors, from changes in prey to the evolving reproductive preferences of males or females, might possibly have been driving the changes. Her team combined data from different species in different places.Since they have little in common apart from living on a warming planet, she says, climate change is the most reasonable explanation.
【4】 Researchers have already seen changes in the geographical range of many species, from insects to fish. Another evolutionary rule-of-thumb, Bergmann’s rule, holds that animals in hotter places tend to have smaller bodies, another way to boost the ratio between surface area and volume. Other animals may alter their behaviour as well as their bodies, such as by seeking shelter at hot times of the day.
Studying a broader range of animals will help firm up exactly what is happening. Much of Ms Ryding’s data concern birds, with less information available for other taxa (类群). But it seems clear that the world of the future is not just going to be hotter than humans are used to.【5】
A．And there are other ways to adapt, too.
B．The animals living in it will look different, too.
C．Larger wings are heavier, and bigger legs cost more energy to grow.
D．Animals will have to rely on changing their bodies or their behaviour.
E．But it is hard to prove that climate change was the cause of an anatomical (结构上的) change.
F．Since any evolutionary adaptation comes with trade-offs, it is unclear how far the process might go.
G．Such adaptations boost an animal's surface area relative to its body volume, helping it to shed excess heat.
27、Panera Bread has announced that it will update its menus with a series of climate-friendly food designed by the World Resources Institute (WRI) that helps inform consumers about how their food choices affect global climate change.
The “Cool Food Meals” sticker (标签) will appear on Panera Bread’s menu to show that the carbon dioxide used to create the ingredients (成分) is low enough to agree with the research published by the WRI, which matches agriculture and food-related emissions (排放) with the reduction in CO2 emissions needed to meet the 2030 Paris Agreement on climate change.
People are becoming more aware of climate change and its effects, but many still don’t know what they can do about it. Cool Food Meals helps people understand that taking action is as simple as what we eat. A busy parent or a college student—almost anyone—can now go into Panera and by choosing a Cool Food Meal, they are part of a growing group of people who are building a climate-friendly lifestyle.
In some ways, more consumers are looking for more climate-friendly food according to a small survey of 1,000 Americans aged 18-80. 69% of those surveyed said it was important to them that their food should be produced in a sustainable manner. 68% of participants said they tried to stay away from carbohydrates (碳水化合物) and sugar.
Through WRI’s Cool Foods Initiative (倡议), Various cities and universities have signed on to the Cool Foods Pledge (宣言) to try and turn civil food service bodies into ones that reduce the amount of CO2 in the supply chain.
According to WRI, first data shows that Cool Food Pledge Members have already reduced their food-related emission by 3%, which is beyond the course to reach the reduction aims in line with the Pans Agreement.

28、Recently, a study was carried out to determine who was the greatest American president．Sixty-five presidential historians took part in it, and they judged the past forty-two American leaders based on ten leadership qualities, including public persuasiveness(信服), crisis leadership, management of the economy, moral leadership, and conduct of international relations．The historians also looked at administrative ability (管理能力), relations with Congress, ability to set goals, and the pursuit of equal justice for all．Finally, the experts took into consideration the historical period in which the president lived．
The historians chose Abraham Lincoln as American’s greatest president．He had also been named best president in a similar study in 2000．Abraham Lincoln was the president who led the nation through the Civil War in the 1860s, and was able to unite it in the end．He also took the first steps to abolish slavery in America．
Edna Medford, a professor of history at Howard University in Washington, D.C., was an adviser on this study and the earlier one．She says Abraham Lincoln is seen to represent the values the nation most honors, such as truthfulness, moderation, and respect for human rights．
The historians put American’s first president, George Washington, second on the list, while Franklin D．Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, and Harry Truman follow in that order．John F．Kennedy, the country’s first Roman Catholic president, is sixth on the list．Like Lincoln, Kennedy was murdered while in office．
Among recent presidents, Ronald Reagan was named the tenth best and Bill Clinton rated fifteenth, while the historians put former president George W．Bush at number thirty-six．His father, George H.W．Bush, did much better, being placed at number eighteen．

29、 Want to plan a kid-friendly vacation? Children will love to see their favorite cartoon characters come to life in the Disneyland Park. Attractions include magical fireworks display, roller coaster rides and live theater performances. The activities are various and suitable for both young children and adults. But with every attraction, there is a high price to match. Follow a few simple steps to make your Disneyland vacation affordable and fun for the whole family.
Step 1
Travel in the off-season. The busiest times at Disneyland are the summer months and around Christmas. Plan a trip in March or October to catch the cool weather and avoid large crowds. Tickets, as well as hotels and flights, are discounted during the off-season to encourage tourism.
Step 2
Find a hotel with free shuttle service. Several nearby hotels offer free transportation to and from Disneyland. This will save on rental cars, fuel and taxi costs.
Step 3
Bring your own meals and snacks. Food inside the park can be very expensive. Plan ahead by packing a backpack of lunches for your whole family. Be sure to bring plenty of bottled water.
Step 4
Buy a Disneyland Package. Websites such as MouseSavers.com offer special tickets prices (such as family tickets at kid’s rates), lodging costs (like fourth night free), and discounted transportation when purchased together.
Step 5
Purchase souvenirs outside the park. Prices for souvenirs inside Disneyland are expensive. Look for vendors (销售商) just outside the park to find the same goods with greatly discounted prices.
Step 6
Look for coupons (优惠券). Hotels, travel agencies, vacation websites, fan clubs, and Disney partner companies offer coupons for discounted entries, food and special exhibits.
