Global warming is happening now, and scientists are confident that greenhouse gases are responsible. To understand what this means for humanity, it is necessary to understand what global warming is and some simple facts about it. Here in the information you need. After you learn something, do something. Global warming is the increase of Earth's average surface temperature due to greenhouse gases that collect in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket, trapping the sun's heat and causing the planet to warm up. Greenhouse gases keep heat close to the earth’s surface making it liveable for humans and animals. However, global warming is happening largely due to an over-emittance of these gases and fossil fuels such as natural gas, gasoline and coal. Though Americans make up just 4 percent of the world's population, they produce 25 percent of the carbon dioxide pollution from fossil-fuel burning - by far the largest share of any country. Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment. Since 1870, global sea levels have risen by about 8 inches. Glaciers have shrunk, ice on rivers and lakes is breaking up earlier, plant and animal ranges have shifted and trees are flowering sooner. Heat waves caused by global warming present a greater risk of heat-related illnesses and death, most frequently among people who have diabetes who are elderly or are very young. |
Hiện tượng nóng lên toàn cầu đang diễn ra và các nhà khoa học tự tin rằng khí nhà kính là nguyên nhân. Để hiểu điều này có ý nghĩa gì đối với nhân loại, cần phải hiểu sự nóng lên toàn cầu là gì và một số sự thật đơn giản về nó. Dưới đây là thông tin bạn cần. Sau khi bạn học được điều gì đó, hãy làm gì đó. Sự nóng lên toàn cầu là sự gia tăng nhiệt độ bề mặt trung bình của Trái đất do các khí nhà kính tích tụ trong khí quyển như một tấm chăn dày, giữ nhiệt của mặt trời và khiến hành tinh nóng lên.
Khí nhà kính giữ nhiệt gần bề mặt Trái đất khiến nó là nơi người và động vật có thể sống được. Tuy nhiên, sự nóng lên toàn cầu đang diễn ra phần lớn là do sự phát thải quá mức của các loại khí và nhiên liệu hóa thạch như khí tự nhiên, xăng dầu và than. Mặc dù người Mỹ chỉ chiếm 4% dân số thế giới, nhưng họ tạo ra 25% ô nhiễm cacbon điôxít do đốt nhiên liệu hóa thạch - cho đến nay là phần lớn nhất của bất kỳ quốc gia nào. Biến đổi khí hậu toàn cầu đã có những tác động quan sát được đến môi trường. Kể từ năm 1870, mực nước biển toàn cầu đã tăng khoảng 8 inch. Sông băng đã bị thu hẹp, băng trên sông và hồ bị vỡ sớm hơn, chuỗi thực vật và động vật đã thay đổi và cây cối ra hoa sớm hơn. Sóng nhiệt gây ra bởi sự nóng lên toàn cầu gây nên nguy cơ mắc bệnh liên quan đến nhiệt và tử vong cao hơn, phổ biến nhất ở những người mắc bệnh tiểu đường là người già hoặc còn rất trẻ. |

Write a short essay (150 -180 words) about the reasons why people should have healthy diets.
You can use the following questions as cues:
• How does a healthy diet benefit your appearance?
• How does a healthy diet benefit your heath?
• What should we do to have a healthy diet?
Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.
The duration of human life, or longevity, is influenced by genetics, the environment, and lifestyle. Environmental improvements beginning in the 1900s extended the average lifespan dramatically with significant improvements in the availability of food and clean water, better housing and living conditions, reduced exposure to infectious diseases, and access to medical care. Most significant were public health advances that reduced premature death by decreasing the risk of infant mortality, increasing the chances of surviving childhood, and avoiding infection and communicable disease.
Scientists are studying people in their nineties (called nonagenarians) and hundreds (called centenarians, including semi-supercentenarians of ages 105-109 years and supercentenarians, ages 110+) to determine what contributes to their long Ilves. They have found that long-lived individuals have little in common with one another In education, income, or profession. The similarities they do share, however, reflect their lifestyles— many are nonsmokers, are not obese, and cope well with stress. Also, most are women. Because of their healthy habits, these older adults are less likely to develop age-related chronic diseases, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, than their same-age peers.
The siblings and children of long-lived individuals are more likely to remain healthy longer and to live to an older age than their peers. People with centenarian parents are less likely at age 70 to have the age-related diseases that are common among older adults. The brothers and sisters of centenarians typically have long lives, and if they develop age-related, these diseases appear later than the general population. Longer lifespans tend to run in families, which suggests that shared genetics, lifestyle, or both play an important role in determining longevity.
