5、 some decades after CO2 emissions peak. So even if emissions were to begin to decrease today，we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate change. Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation.When it comes to adaptation，it is important to understand tha

6、t climate change is a process. We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard，but to a constantly shifting set of conditions. This is why, in part at least，the US National Climate Assessment says that：“There is no onesize fits all adaptation.” Nevertheless，there are some actions that

7、offer much and carry little risk or cost.Around the world, people are adapting in surprising ways，especially in some poor countries. Floods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mohammed Rescan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster. His notforprofit organization runs 10

8、0 river boats that serve as floating libraries，schools，and health clinics，and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities. Rescan is creating floating connectivity to replace flooded roads and highways. But he is also working at a far more fundamental level：his staff show peopl

9、e how to make floating gardens and fish ponds to prevent starvation during the wet season.Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. Chewang Morphed lives in a mountainous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man. The loss of glaciers there due to global warming repres

10、ents an enormous threat to agriculture. Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. Narwhals inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stor

11、ed until the spring. His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation water. Having created nine such ice reserves, Morphed calculates that he has stored about 200，000m3 of water. Climate change is a continuing process, so Narwhals ice reserves will not last forever. Warming will overtake them. B

12、ut he is providing a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting.Increasing Earths reflectiveness can cool the planet. In southern Spain the sudden increase of greenhouses (which reflect light back to space) has changed the warming trend locally, and act

13、ually cooled the region. While Spain as a whole is heating up quickly, temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased. This example should act as an inspiration for all cities. By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process.In Peru, local farmers around a mountain with a gla

14、cier that has already fallen victim to climate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life-giving ice. The outcome is still far from clear. But the World Bank has included the project on its list of “100 ideas to save the

15、planet”More ordinary forms of adaptation are happening everywhere. A friend of mine owns an area of land in western Victoria. Over five generations the land has been too wet for cropping. But during the past decade declining rainfall has allowed him to plant highly profitable crops. Farmers in many

16、countries are also adapting like thiseither by growing new produce, or by growing the same things differently. This is common sense. But some suggestions for adapting are not. When the polluting industries argue that weve lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt, i

17、ts a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual.Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and astonishing ways. But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution. After all, if we adapt in tha

18、t way, we may avoid the need to change in so many others.1The underlined part in Paragraph 2 implies _Aadaptation is an everchanging processBthe cost of adaptation varies with timeCglobal warming affects adaptation formsDadaptation to climate change is challenging2What is special with regard to Resc

21、e in Montreals Plateau neighborhood, which gets a lot of regulars. On March 12, the Quebec government announced to close all public places to stop the spread of the pandemic (流行病) of coronavirus. The next day the store was the busiest Ive ever seen. The six cash registers had to be kept open from 10

22、 a. m. until close.It was nuts.I didnt have time to eat lunch, and whenever one of us on cash had to use the bathroom, we9d have to bring in a coworker off the floor to cover for us. Since then, the atmosphere in the store has been different. Customers are mostly considerate, but whenever someone co

23、ughs or sneezes, everyone turns around to make sure that person sneezed into their elbow. Ive even seen customers come in wearing some strange get-ups. One guy even came in with a plastic Wal-Mart bag wrapped around his entire head, with a slit cut out for his eyes. A lot of my coworkers have left t

24、o avoid a public-facing job during the pandemic. Grocery store workers across Canada are putting their health at risk every time they come in to work, but a lot of us are still making close to minimum wage. I realized that I feel more exhausted than normal even though Im working the same hours.There

25、 still have been some moments of kindness in the midst of the chaos. Ive overheard people talking on the phone who sounded as though they were organizing grocery deliveries for those stuck at home. And this past weekend a very nice lady thanked us for continuing to work. I know everyone is worried,

26、but its unless having the same scary conversations day after day. Instead, tell us a funny anecdote, or about something nice.

30、ur first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story, think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America, you might ask, “Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?” 2Hit the streets with confidence. 3 Say, “Excuse me, I work for XYZ News, and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about
