The climate crisis may lead the human race t shrink in size,as mammals with smaller frames appear better able t deal with rising glbal temperatures,a leading fssil expert has said.
Prfessr Steve Brusatte,a palentlgist at the University f Edinburgh,suggested that the way in which ther mammals have previusly respnded t perids f climate change culd ffer an insight int humans’ future.He cmpared the ptential prblem f peple as similar t that f early hrses,which became smaller in bdy size as temperatures rse arund 55 millin years ag.
Writing in The Rise and Reign f the Mammals,Brusatte ntes that animals in warmer parts f the wrld tday are ften smaller than thse in clder areas,an eclgical principle knwn as Bergmann’s rule.“The reasns are nt entirely understd,but it is prbably,in part,because smaller animals have a higher surface area relative t their vlume than bigger animals and can thus imprve the dissipatin f the extra heat,” he writes.
Brusatte said that becming smaller was “a cmmn way that mammals deal with climate change”.He added,“That’s nt t say every species f mammal wuld get smaller,but it seems t be a cmmn survival trick f mammals when temperatures rise pretty quickly.That des raise the questin:If temperatures d rise really quickly,might humans get smaller?And I think that’s certainly reasnable.”
Hwever,nt all experts agree that rising temperature causes mammals t shrink.Prfessr Adrian Lister,f the Natural Histry Museum in Lndn,said the relatinship shwn by the recent human remains study is weak.“We are nt really cntrlled by natural selectin,” he said.“If that was ging t happen,yu’d need t find large peple dying befre they culd reprduce because f climate warming.That is nt happening in tday’s wrld.We wear clthes,and we have gt heating,just as we have gt air cnditining if it is t ht.”

Passage 2 (2024广东韶关二模)
主题:对生活的看法 词数:314
难度:★★★☆☆
Is life a stry r a game?Answers may vary frm ne t anther.Over the curse f life,we find things t lve and cmmit t—a jb,a partner r a cmmunity.At times,we struggle t learn frm ur misfrtunes t grw in wisdm,kindness and grace.
Will Strr,a writer whse wrk I admire,says this stry versin f life is a misunderstanding.In his bk The Status Game,he argues that human beings are deeply driven by status.Rather than abut being liked r accepted,he writes,it’s abut being better than thers.“When peple are bedient t us,ffer respect,admiratin r praise,that’s status.It feels gd.”
Life is a series f games,he adds.There’s the high schl game f cmpeting t be the ppular kid.The lawyer game t make partner.The finance game t make the mst mney.The academic game fr fame.The sprts game t shw that ur team is the best.Even when we are trying t d gd,Strr claims,we’re playing the “virtue game” t shw we are mrally superir t thers.
I think Strr is in danger f becming ne f thse guys wh ignre the nble desires f the human heart and the caring element in every friendship and family.The status-mad wrld that Strr describes is s lveless.In fact,gaming as a way f life is immature.Maturity means rising abve the shallw desire—fr status—that desn’t really nurish us.It’s abut cultivating the higher desires:the lve f truth and learning;the inner pleasure the craftsman gets in his wrk,which is nt abut ppularity,and the desire fr a gd and meaningful life that inspires peple t practise daily acts f genersity.
Hw d peple gradually learn t cultivate these higher mtivatins?T answer that,I’d have t tell yu a stry.

Smetimes,telling white lies ften depends n the situatin,Dr.Breur says.Fr example,cnsider a wman wh has nt seen her mther fr several mnths.The daughter has gained nticeable weight,yet the mther respnds by excitedly declaring that she lks great.“I emphasize during psychtherapy sessins with my patients that cntext helps define meaning,” Dr.Breur says.“S when we lk at the cntext f a mther saying yu lk great when she clearly sees that her daughter has gained weight,it can be acceptable.It reflects the intentin f the white lie which is kindness,prtectin and uncnditinal lve.Otherwise,white lies—especially when tld t avid persnal accuntability—can start a cycle f mistrust between peple,ultimately cmprmising integrity,” she adds.
Therefre,it’s imprtant t ask urselves when it is and isn’t apprpriate t deliver the hnest truth,and when it’s best t step back and ffer a mre delicate respnse.Mre ften than nt,it’s abut finding a balance between the tw.
