Climate change is making a safe, slw adjustment t heat much harder by upending(颠覆) what we'd typically expect as seasns change.
Althugh late summer can bring mre extreme temperatures, early heat waves have a particularly dangerus influence. A large bdy f research tends t find that early summer heat waves can have higher rates f death cmpared t later in the seasn.
There are a few explanatins fr this phenmenn. One thery is that the mst vulnerable ppulatins will nt be able t fight the higher temperatures at the start f the seasn, s there are fewer vulnerable peple in the mre intense heat waves a few mnths later. A secnd explanatin is the acclimatizatin(适应环境) effect, since peple need time t adjust t heat. Hw much time a persn needs t physilgically adapt depends.
The way we adapt t early seasn heat isn't just abut physilgical changes in ur bdies. Behaviur makes a difference t, as d plicies and infrastructure that help peple cpe.
The US still has few plicies that help prtect peple frm the mst extreme summertime heat. Even the prtectins that exist arund heat dn't fcus n the vital early seasn. Besides, the prtectin measures, where they d exist, dn't typically kick in until after a certain date r when temperatures are abve 95 degrees Fahrenheit, which is far beynd what sme vulnerable ppulatins can handle.
"We barely have enugh resurces t deal with what's ccurring right nw," said University f Arizna prfessr f urban planning Ladd Keith. "With climate change, we're seeing increasing frequency, intensity, and duratin f heat waves, s we need t adjust ur respnse."
28. What can we learn frm Paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. Our ability t adjust t heat varies frm persn t persn.
B. Infrastructure will hardly affect ur adaptatin t early heat.
C. Old peple can prperly fight the higher temperatures in early summer.
D. Physilgical changes make a big difference t ur behaviur.
29. What d we knw abut America's reactin t early heat waves?
A. Its respnse needs adjustment due t climate change.
B. It has enugh resurces t deal with the present situatin.
C. Only a few measures cncentrate n the deadly early seasn.
D. Its plicies can effectively help prtect peple frm the early seasn heat.
30. Which sectin f a magazine des the text prbably cme frm?
A. TechnlgyB. Nature.C. Ppulatin.D. Plitics.
31. What's the best title fr the text?

"Stair climbing is a frm f exercise anyne can d in their wn hme, after wrk r during the lunch hur," says Martin, a lead authr f the study. "This research takes interval(间歇) training ut f the lab and makes it accessible t everyne."

Researchers recruited(招收) 31 wmen and tested the effect f tw different experiments, each f which required a 10-minute exercise perid, including warm-up, cl-dwn and recvery perids. The exercise perids were dne three times a week ver the curse f six weeks.
The first experiment included three 20 -secnd perids f cntinuus climbing in an "all-ut" manner. The participants were then cmpared t thse wh went thrugh the same experiment using an exercise bike which has already been shwn t imprve fitness.
Fr the secnd experiment, sme wmen climbed up and dwn ne flight f stairs fr perids f 60 secnds, an experiment which culd be easily dne at hme.
Bth experiments, each including a ttal time f 30 minutes a week, increased cardirespiratry(心肺的) fitness, an imprtant healthy marker that is cnnected with lng life.

Smarter Ways t Learn Frm Failure
Many f us were tld frm an early age that, at schl r in life, "yu learn frm yur mistakes". 36
The shrt answer is "yes"—failure can be a teachable mment. But learning frm ur mistakes is, in reality, very hard because we dn't like t fail. 37 S we react t failure in emtinal ways, like giving up n a task easily, telling urselves we dn't care whether we succeed, r finding fault with the task itself. This is self-prtective, accrding t Hallgeir Sjåstad, a prfessr f psychlgy and leadership at the Nrwegian Schl f Ecnmics. "Mst f us want t think f urselves as capable," he says, "s when we fail, it causes a serius threat t ur self-image."
Frtunately, there is research t suggest that there are sme strategies t help us vercme the emtinal barriers arund failure. 38 Instead f asking "Why did I fail?" we culd ask "Why did Sam fail?", fr example. Multiple studies by psychlgist Ethan Krss at the University f Michigan shw that adpting a third-persn perspective helps t sften ur negative emtinal reactins, allwing us t lk at failure mre bjectively.
A secnd strategy invlves ffering advice t thers wh may be in the same psitin as us. 39 The grup f adults and children were asked t give advice based n their wn failures. Prfessrs Eskreis-Winkler, Fishbach and Duckwrth fund that the satisfactin f helping thers "frces peple t engage with their experience and what they have learnt".
40 But it nw seems that we shuld be saying: "Fail again, fail smarter." Failure is an unavidable part f life, but by learning t vercme the emtinal barriers arund it, we may find the rad t success is a little easier t find.
A. It desn't feel gd.
B. But is this actually true?
C. Here are sme reasns why we think s.
D. But hw t vercme them is a questin.
E. One f them is t adpt a third-persn view.
F. The writer Samuel Beckett nce said: "Fail again, fail better."
G. It led t better levels f mtivatin and academic success in the test grups.

In the year I was abut twelve years ld, my mther tld us that we wuld nt be 41 Christmas gifts fr shrt f mney. I felt sad and thught, "What wuld I say when the ther kids asked what I'd 42 ?"
