Is climate change consuming your favorite foods?

    Coffee: Whether or not you try to limit yourself to one cup of coffee a day, the effects of climate change on the world's coffee-growing regions may leave you little choice. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} America, Africa, Asia and Hawaii are all being threatened by rising air temperatures and unstable rainfall patterns, which invite disease and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} species to live on the coffee plant and ripening beans. The result? Significant cuts in coffee yield and less coffee in your cup. It is estimated that, if current climate patterns continue, half of the areas {#blank#}3{#/blank#} suitable for coffee production won't be by the year 2050.

    Tea: When it comes to tea, warmer climates and erratic precipitation aren't only {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the world's tea-growing regions, they're also messing with its distinct flavor. For example, in India, researchers have already discovered that the Indian Monsoon has brought more intense rainfall, making tea flavor weaker. Recent research coming out of the University of Southampton suggests that tea-producing areas in some places, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} East Africa, could decline by as much as 55 percent by 2050 as precipitation and temperatures change. Tea pickers are also feeling the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} of climate change. During harvest season, increased air temperatures are creating an increased risk of heatstroke for field workers.

    Seafood: Climate change is affecting the world's aquaculture as much as its agriculture. As air temperatures rise, oceans and waterways absorb some of the heat and {#blank#}7{#/blank#} warming of their own. The result is a decline in fish population, including in lobsters (who are cold-blooded creatures), and salmon (whose eggs find it hard to survive in higher water temps). Warmer waters also {#blank#}8{#/blank#} toxic marine bacteria, like Vibrio, to grow and cause illness in humans whenever ingested with raw seafood, like oysters or sashimi.

    And that {#blank#}9{#/blank#} "crack" you get when eating crab and lobster? It could be silenced as shellfish struggle to build their calcium(碳) carbonate shells, a result of ocean acidification (absorb carbon dioxide from the air). According to a study, scientists predicted that if over-fishing and rising temperature trends continued at their present rate, the world's seafood {#blank#}10{#/blank#} would run out by the year 2050.

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

A. classify    B. contains    C. detailed    D. maintains    E. multiply    F. necessarily    G. passive    H. relatively    I. subject    J. total   K. unusual

Can a precise word total ever be known? No, says Professor David Crystal, known chiefly for his research in English language studies and author of around 100 books on the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. "It's like asking how many stars there are in the sky. It's impossible to answer," he said.

An easier question to answer, he {#blank#}2{#/blank#}, is the size of the average person's vocabulary. He suggests taking a sample of about 20 or 30 pages from a medium-sized dictionary, which {#blank#}3{#/blank#} about 100,000 entries or 1,000 or 1,500 pages.

Tick off the ones you know and count them. Then {#blank#}4{#/blank#} that by the number of pages and you will discover how many words you know. Most people vastly underestimate their {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

"Most people know half the words—about 50,000—easily. A reasonably educated person about 75,000 and a really cool, smart person well, maybe all of them but that is rather {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. An ordinary person, one who has not been to university say, would know about 35,000 quite easily."

The formula can be used to calculate the number of words a person uses, but a person's active language will always be less than their {#blank#}7{#/blank#}, the difference being about a third.

Prof Crystal says exposure to reading will obviously expand a person's vocabulary but the level of a person's education does not {#blank#}8{#/blank#} decide things. "A person with a poor education perhaps may not be able to read or read much, but they will know words and may have a very {#blank#}9{#/blank#} vocabulary about pop songs or motorbikes. I've met children that you could {#blank#}10{#/blank#} as having a poor education and they knew hundreds of words about skateboards that you won't find in a dictionary."
