Ice sheets covering three-quarters of Greenland, the world's largest island, are melting at a fast pace. Such prediction was made from the findings of an international team of researchers, including representatives from the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI).
Climate researcher Ruth Mottram said in a DMI press release, "If global warming continues as before — what we call the high emission scenario (排放情景), then the temperature will be likely to rise by a further 4. 0 to 6. 6 degrees by the year 2100.” And the researchers added that the polar regions are more sensitive to climate change.
By using them they can calculate the extent (程度) that the melting of Greenland's inland ice would contribute to the global sea level, by examining the unstable relationship between the change in summer temperatures in Greenland and the ice's surface mass-balance over the last 30 years. "Our research shows that we should expect an increase of 10 to 12. 5 centimeters in global sea level by the year 2100 as a direct result of increased ice melting and loss of surface mass from the Greenland ice sheet alone," said Mottram.
John Cappelen, senior climatologist (气候学家) at DMI and member of the research team, stressed the seriousness of the team's findings and called all people and countries to obey the Paris Agreement as a way to limit the global warming. " Otherwise we can't limit the global warming," said Cappelen.
The Paris Agreement was agreed by the 195 member economies in Paris in 2015, with the goal of reducing global warming.
A. It's really a pity.
B. Something must happen to our behavior.
C. We must do something to protect Greenland.
D. However, some countries want to quit the agreement.
E. Such a rise in temperature is significantly greater than we expect.
F. Researchers used the latest global and regional climate modeling tools.
G. By the end of this century, sea levels could rise by about 12. 5 centimeters.
Evaluating Sources (来源) of Health Information
Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information，how to separate fact from opinion，how to recognize poor reasoning，and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported，and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome；this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.
Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true，probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements.{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully，and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术)．
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration，but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.
Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about health problems will serve you well throughout your life.
A．Make choices that are right for you. B．The goal of an ad is to sell you something. C．Be sure to work through the critical questions. D．And examine the findings of the original research. E．Distinguish between research reports and public health advice. F．Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author's point of view. G．The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources. |

A. As a mother, she takes good care of us and gives us every comfort. B. She enjoys listening to classic music. C. She never goes to expensive restaurants to enjoy meals. D. She loves her students and cares for them. E. My mother is hard-working and never wastes money. F. Can you tell us something about your mother? G. I never forget it and always bear it in my mind. |
My mother is a diligent and kind woman. She is very busy from morning till night. As a teacher, she works hard. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Both my brother and I love her dearly as she loves us.
My mother has been teaching math at a middle school in my hometown. She goes to work early in the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} She treats them with patience and teaches them well. For her excellent quality and very good teaching results, she has been elected as a model teacher several times.
