Three years later, while wrking at a cmmunity cllege, I became friends with the president’s secretary. She encuraged me t take classes and get a teaching degree.

I dn’t knw what gt me t the finish line, but fur mnths after my frtieth birthday, I walked prudly acrss the stage t receive my Bachelr’s in Educatin.

The idea that the nrmal human bdy temperature is abut 37℃ was first presented by the German physician Carl Reinhld August Wunderlich in 1851. Since then, it’s becme s widely accepted that it serves as a tuchstne fr health—a diagnstic tl used by physicians and parents as a basic indicatr f whether smene is sick r well. Hwever, it turns ut that this well-established fact isn’t, in fact, crrect—r, t put it mre accurately, human beings have been getting cler ver the years.
Recent studies have shwn that temperature recrds f grups f peple have tended t run lw cmpared t the accepted nrm (标准), s the Stanfrd team, led by Julie Par-snnet,MD, prfessr f medicine and f health research and plicy, decided t d a mre in-depth study t cmpare mdern measurements with histrical recrds t try t identify bdy temperature trends and, perhaps, uncver the reasn why this cling is happening.
Fr their research, the Stanfrd team lked at three distinct data sets frm tw histrical perids. After ging thrugh 677,423 temperature measurements, the team fund that men brn in the 21st century had an average bdy temperature f 0.6℃ lwer than that f thse brn in the early 19th century while mdern wmen shwed an average decrease f 0.03℃ cmpared t thse brn in the 1890s.
As t why this is happening, the researchers say that the mst likely mechanism is a reductin in the human metablic rate (代谢率) due t envirnmental factrs: One pssibility is that imprvements in public health ver 200 years have reduced the incidence f inflammatins (炎症),which prmte metablism. This cmbined with peple living mre cmfrtable lives in mre stable envirnments means that the bdy desn’t have t wrk as hard t stay warm, s the average temperature falls.
”The envirnment that we’re living in has changed, including the temperature in ur hmes, ur cntact with micrrganisms (微生物) and the fd that we have access t. All these things mean that althugh we cnsider human beings as the same fr all f human evlutin, we’re nt the same. We’re actually changing physilgically,” Parsnnet said.
12. What is Carl Reinhld August Wunderlich’s achievement?
A. He set up standards fr human health services.
B. He predicted trends in human bdy temperature.
C. He first used bdy temperature as a health indicatr.
D. He prpsed the standard human bdy temperature.
13. What can we learn abut the Stanfrd team’s study?
A. It shws wmen have a lwer bdy temperature than men.
B. It prves human bdy temperature has drpped at a faster rate.
C. It cmpared histrical and current human bdy temperature data.
D. It suggested updating the definitin f the average bdy temperature.
14. Which f the fllwing is thught t cause the decrease in human bdy temperature?
A. The imprved living cnditins.
B. The cntact with ther creatures.
C. The decline in physically demanding wrk.
D. The adaptatin f humans t climate change.

At sme pint, I lked back and was hrrified. The grund at the base f the cliff seemed very far belw; ne slip and I wuld fall, buncing ff the cliff face and ending n the rcks.
In a few minutes the bys started up t the tp, frm where they wuld walk hme by a rundabut (迂回) rute. Befre they left, they glanced dwn at me.
“Hey, wait!” I begged.
