Global warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century, but — regardless of whether it is or isn't — we won't do much about it. We will argue over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemn-sounding commitments to avoid it. But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be observed. Al Gore calls global warming an "inconvenient truth," as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path to a solution. But the real truth is that we don't know enough to relieve global warming, and — without major technological breakthroughs — we can't do much about it. From 2003 to 2050, the world's population is projected to grow from 6.4 billion to 9.1 billion, a 42% increase. If energy use per person and technology remain the same, total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions (mainly, CO 2 ) will be 42% higher in 2050. But that's too low, because societies that grow richer use more energy. We need economic growth unless we condemn the world's poor to their present poverty and freeze everyone else's living standards. With modest growth, energy use and greenhouse emissions more than double by 2050. No government will adopt rigid restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom (limits on electricity usage, driving and travel) that might cut back global warming. Still, politicians want to show they're "doing something." Consider the Kyoto Protoco(京都协定书). It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didn't. But it hasn't reduced CO 2 emissions(up about 25% since 1990) ,and many signatories(签字国) didn't adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2008—2012 targets. The practical conclusion is that if global warming is a potential disaster, the only solution is new technology. Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking our dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it. The trouble with the global warming debate is that it has become a moral problem when it's really an engineering one. The inconvenient truth is that if we don't solve the engineering problem, we're helpless.

What impact can mobile phones have on their users' health? Many individuals are concerned about the supposed ill effects caused by radiation from handsets and base stations,【C1】______ the lack of credible evidence of any harm. But evidence for the beneficial effects of mobile phones on health is rather more【C2】______ . Indeed, a systematic review【C3】______ by Rifat Atun and his colleagues at Imperial College, London, gathers【C4】______ of the use of text-messaging in the【C5】______ of health care. These uses【C6】______ three categories; efficiency gains; public-health gains; and direct benefits to patients by【C7】______ text-messaging into treatment regimes. Using texting to【C8】______ efficiency is not profound science, but big savings can be achieved. Several【C9】______ carried out in England have found that the use of text-messaging reminders【C10】______ the number of missed appointments with family doctors by 26-39% , and the number of missed hospital appointments by 33-50% . If such schemes were【C11】______ nationally, this would translate【C12】______ annual savings of ￡ 256-364 million. Text messages can also be a good way to deliver public-health information, particularly to groups【C13】______ are hard to reach by other means. Text messages have been used in India to【C14】______ people about the World Health Organization's strategy to control tuberculosis(肺结核) . In Iraq, text messages were used to support a【C15】______ to immunize nearly 5 million children【C16】______ polio(小儿麻痹症). 【C17】______ , there are the uses of text-messaging as part of a treatment regime. These involve sending reminders to patients to【C18】______ their medicine, or to encourage compliance with exercise regimes or efforts to stop smoking. However, Dr. Rifat notes that the evidence for the effectiveness of such schemes is generally【C19】______ . More quantitative research is【C20】______ —which is why his team also published three papers this week looking at the use of mobile phones in health care in more detail.

College doesn't always prepare you for life after graduation. You are thrust into the world and tasked with the challenge of figuring out how to live on your own. Your early twenties are a time to take risks, try new things, and discover your passions. Don't worry so much about not having a concrete plan, and now is the time when you can experiment and find your true skills and interests. While making money immediately might seem important, your early twenties are one of the best times for exploring different career paths and planning out a roadmap for your future. Once you graduate college, you will no longer be surrounded by your peers at all hours of the day. Meeting new people is more challenging and requires more effort than it did during college. Because of this, it's often good to remember that being friendly is the best way to meet new people. Take interest in the lives of your coworkers and people around you, and be willing to make new connections.

Yawning can be a problem at the office for Lindsay Eierman, which makes her embarrassed. "I've explained, 'I'm sorry, I didn't get much sleep last night,'" says Ms Eierman, a 26-year-old social worker from Durham, North Carolina. But a lack of sleep may not be the problem. Researchers are starting to unravel the mystery surrounding the yawn, one of the most common and often embarrassing behaviours. Yawning, they have discovered, is much more complicated than previously thought. Although all yawns look the same, they appear to have many different causes and to serve a variety of functions. Yawning is believed to be a means to keep our brains alert in times of stress. Contagious yawning appears to have evolved in many animal species as a way to protect family and friends, by keeping everyone in the group vigilant. Changes in brain chemistry trigger yawns, which typically last about six seconds and often occur in clusters. To unravel the mystery of yawning, scientists built upon early, observed clues. Yawning tends to occur more in summer. Most people yawn upon seeing someone else do it, but infants and people with autism or schizophrenia aren't so affected by this contagion effect. And certain people yawn at surprising times, like parachutists who are about to jump out of a plane or Olympic athletes getting ready to compete. A leading hypothesis is that yawning plays an important role in keeping the brain at its cool, optimal working temperature. The brain is particularly sensitive to overheating, according to Andrew Gallup, an assistant professor of psychology at the State University of New York at Oneonta. Reaction times slow and memory wanes when the brain' s temperature varies even less than a degree from the ideal 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. There are some practical applications. Dr. Gallup said managers might want to keep in mind the brain-cooling role of yawning when a meeting is long and boring. "One way to diminish yawning frequency in an office would be to keep it air-conditioned. If it's very cold in the room, yawning rates are going to be quite low," Dr. Gallup said.

Any American who has bought a pack of cigarettes since the mid-"60s might have seen the health warnings. It says, "SURGEON GENERAL"S WARNING: Smoking Causes Lung Cancer, Heart Disease, And May Complicate Pregnancy." Such government warnings work,【C1】______— research has shown that smokers in countries with strong warnings know more about smoking【C2】______than those in countries where warnings are weaker. But it"s unclear whether smokers who see any warning【C3】______smoke less. Public-health advocates have known for years that individualized messages are far more【C4】______at getting smokers to stop. For instance,【C5】______a doctor reminds a patient that her sister has promised to help her【C6】______, that patient will be much more likely to stop smoking than someone who just sees a(n)【C7】______message on a cigarette pack. A recent study shows that tailored antismoking messages engage brain regions involved in how people see themselves. Those regions are associated with emotion【C8】______basic human awareness and, possibly, awareness of others"【C9】______of us. The authors of the study, a University of Michigan team led by psychologist Hannah Faye Chua,【C10】______91 smokers who wanted to quit. The participants, who smoked an average of 17 cigarettes per day,【C11】______medical imaging scans for one hour while different messages appeared on a screen. Some messages were tailored to their【C12】______histories (for example, "A concern you have is being tempted to smoke when【C13】______other smokers"). Some messages were general anti-smoking【C14】______. The researchers found that the tailored messages【C15】______the two brain regions significantly more than the non-tailored and【C16】______messages. In other words, reading a short sentence changed their brain activity—【C17】______those who showed stronger activity in those regions were more likely to quit smoking. The reason this paper is important is that it【C18】______a growing body of research showing that what is often mocked as "talk therapy" can produce real changes in brain【C19】______. If you really want to quit smoking, you should commit to a(n)【C20】______behavioral-therapy program. It will not only help you stop; it could change how your brain works.

A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some urgent things to say to good people. Something has gone terribly【C1】______with our once proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values. A key【C2】______is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability. Accountability isn't hard to【C3】______. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and【C4】______for their consequences. Of the many【C5】______that hold civilization together—honesty, kindness, and so on—accountability may be the most important. My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who【C6】______, or have never learned, to impose it on themselves.【C7】______as every policeman knows, external controls on people's behavior are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and【C8】______. 【C9】______, there are still communities—smaller towns, usually—where schools maintain【C10】______and where parents hold up standards that proclaim: "In this family certain things are not【C11】______—they simply are not done! " Yet more and more, especially in our larger cities and suburbs, these【C12】______restraints are loosening. The main cause of this breakdown is a radical shift in【C13】______. Thirty years ago, if a crime was【C14】______society was considered the victim.

I don't believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose not to【C18】______in criminal activities. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything. We【C19】______America desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one【C20】______it.
