Nearly one-third of all human beings live within 36 miles of a coastline. Most of the world's great seaport cities would be【C1】______. Some countries would be inundated. Heavily populated coastal areas where large populations occupy low-lying areas, would suffer extreme dislocation. Warmer oceans would spawn stronger hurricanes and typhoons,【C2】______ coastal flooding, possibly swamping valuable agricultural lands around the world. Reduced water quality may result as 【C3】______ flooding which forces salt water into coastal irrigation and drinking water supplies, and irreplaceable, natural forest could be flooded with ocean water destroying forever many of the【C4】______plant and animal species living there. Food supplies and forests would be【C5】______ affected. Changes in rainfall patterns would disrupt agriculture. Warmer temperatures would【C6】______ grain-growing regions polewards. The warming would also increase and change the pest plants, such as weeds and the insects attacking the crops. Human health would also be affected. Warming could【C7】______ tropical climate bringing with it yellow fever and other diseases. The harmful effects of localized urban air pollution would very likely be more serious in warmer conditions. There will be some【C8】______ from warming. New sea-lanes will open in the Arctic, longer growing seasons further north will create new agricultural lands, and warmer temperature will make some of today's colder regions more habitable. But these benefits will be in individual areas. The natural systems—both plant and animal—will be less able than man to cope and【C9】______Any change of temperature, rainfall, and sea level of the magnitude now anticipated will be destructive to natural systems and living things and【C10】______ to man as well.

Ways of【C1】______ the difference have become more accurate and meaningful over time, but popular terminology still reflects the old【C2】______into "warm blooded" and "cold blooded" species; warm blooded included mammals and birds, 【C3】______all other creatures were considered cold blooded. As more species were studied, it became evident that this classification was【C4】______. A fence lizard usually has a body temperature only a degree or two below that of humans and so is not cold. Therefore the next distinction was made between animals that maintain a【C5】______body temperature and those whose body temperature varies with their environment. But this classification also【C6】______inadequate, because among mammals there are many that vary their body temperatures during hibernation. Furthermore, many invertebrates that live in the【C7】______of the ocean never experience a change in the chill of the deep water, and their body temperatures remain constant. The current distinction is between animals whose body temperature is regulated chiefly by internal metabolic processes and those whose temperature is regulated by the【C8】______. The latter do so mainly by moving to favorable sites or by changing their exposure to【C9】______ sources of heat. Mammals and birds also regulate their temperature by choosing favorable environments, but primarily they regulate their temperature by【C10】______a variety of internal adjustments.

Great changes have taken place in people's life after the invention of cell phones. With the fast development of the Internet technology, cell phone has become an important part of people's life.

It harms people's ability and desire for real-life social interaction when it's so easy to start conversations by texting instead. Entertaining electronic games and a variety of interesting applications in mobile phones have occupied much of people's time. Information distribution tools and social networking tools, in particular, have attracted all of our attention, which tempt us into keeping our eyes on the screen around the corner of every second and leave us no time to talk with people around us in real life. NO Cell phones greatly facilitate our communication. With cell phones, we can contact with our friends and relatives more conveniently than ever before. No matter where we are, phone calls, WeChat or video calls can immediately connect us together. The days when it took months or even years to hear from one another have gone forever. The problems related to cell phones are not caused by the technology, but the misuse of them. What cell phones have brought us is just a new form of communication. Taking good advantage of cell phones, we can communicate more efficiently. But misusing them may also bring adverse effects.
