Scientists have long predicted that warmer temperatures caused by climate(气候)change will have the biggest influence on the world's poorest people. New research now suggests that has already happened over the past years.
A study coming out in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science found that in most poor countries, higher temperatures are more than 90% likely to have resulted in a fall in economic output(经济产量), compared to a world without global(全球的)warming. The influence has been less big in richer countries—with some even benefiting(获益) from higher temperatures.
"We're not saying that global warming created inequality(不公平)," says Noah S. Diffenbaugh, the writer of the study and a professor at Stanford University who studies climate change. But "global warming has slowed down the improvement". The poorest countries are facing the worst influence of rising temperatures—for which they are least responsible, he adds.
The new study builds on past research. A 2015 study in the journal Nature predicted that the average income(平均收入)) in the poorest countries will be 25% lower by 2100 compared to a world without warming, while some of the richest countries—like the USA—could experience an increase in income. And a report from IPCC, the UN's climate science body, showed that if global temperatures rise more than 1.5℃ by the end of the century, poor countries will likely face very serious challenges, including the disappearance of whole communities and millions of early deaths. "They will suffer the most, as they are already," said Mary Robinson, who used to be a UN Special Envoy on Climate Change and a president of Ireland.
The influence is greater elsewhere, especially in Sub-Saharan, African countries including Sudan, Burkina Faso and Niger, where climate change has driven the average income more than 20% lower. "There are a number of ways by which temperature influences economic activities," says Diffenbaugh What's clear is that, for poor countries, the news is all bad.

When I was a girl growing up, I cannot once ever remember either my mum or my grandma wasting food.
Anything we didn't eat at one meal was leftovers(剩菜). I can remember my grandma making a huge pot of potatoes. We would all eat until we were full enough, but there were always about half of the potatoes leftover. A few days later, Grandma would take those potatoes out of the fridge, boil some noodles, add some vegetables and mix them all together. And I also remember when I watched my mum fry bacon (煎培根)for us in the mornings, she would always take the oil carefully and pour it into a bottle. Then she would use it later to add flavor to so many other dishes. I was an adult before I realized that potatoes didn't actually taste like bacon!
I learned their lessons well, and after I grew up, I tried to never waste food myself. I always planned the week's meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list so that nothing went to waste. Every meal went into our stomachs and any leftovers were later eaten by either myself my boys, my husband or, my dogs. To me, throwing food into the bin was just wrong.
However, when it comes to living, there are no leftovers. Life is just like a feast. Each moment that you don't live is lost forever. Life cannot be saved or stored. Each day is a fresh beginning. Live each moment of your life to the fullest, then.
6.The writer's grandma used the leftover potatoes to ____.
A.mix with noodles B.boil some vegetables
C.fry bacon D.throw away
7.Why did the potatoes cooked by the writer's mum taste like bacon
A.Because she mixed the bacon with potatoes.
B.Because she put potatoes into the containers.
C.Because she was good at cooking.
D.Because she poured the bacon oil into potatoes.
8.According to the passage, how did the writer save food in her way
A.By shopping ahead of time.
B.By throwing it into the litter bin.
C.By following her mother's shopping list.
D.By planning the next week's food.
9.What does the underlined word "feast" in the last paragraph probably mean
A.Sweet dream. B.Large meal.
C.Happy story. D.Beautiful picture.
10.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A.It is never too old to learn.
B.Eat to live, but not live to eat.
C.Neither food nor life should be wasted.
D.There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Balanced on a rock in the middle of a river,a black bear lowers her head to the water and tries to catch a fish. She's spent the summer eating berries and roots. Now she's eating all the fish she can catch. She needs fat to put on weight and make milk for newborn bears this winter.
Black bears live throughout most of North America,including northern Mexico. They usually live in forests and are excellent tree climbers. Although they are called black bears,they can be blue﹣gray,brown,or even white. Black bears are not picky eaters. Their goal is to store up as much fat as possible before their winter sleep.
In late November and early December,black bears head to their caves to sleep away the winter,or hibernate(冬眠). Their body temperature is lowered,and their breathing slows down while they live off the huge amounts of body fat they stored up during the summer and fall. This way,they don't have to go out and look for food in the cold.
Male black bears leave their caves around mid﹣March,but females stay a little longer. That's because they give birth around January and want to give their kids time to grow bigger before heading back outside in the early spring.
Little black bears stay with Mom for one to three years while she teaches them how to live in the wild. Then,when they're ready,they head off to survive in the woods alone﹣until they start a family of their own.
11.Why do black bears catch fish
A.They want to become heavier.
B.Fish is their favorite food.
C.They prefer food with less fat.
D.Newborn black bears feed on fish.
12.What do we know from paragraph 2
A.Black bears are all black.
B.Many black bears live in the UK.
C.Black bears pick food from trees.
D.Black bears are good at climbing.
13.What is a hibernating black bear like ____
A.They don't breathe.
B.They only sleep in the daytime.
C.They don't eat any food.
D.They have a high body temperature.
14.When would a female black bear probably leave her cave
A.In January. B.In April. C.In July. D.In November.
