This represents a major threat, especially to coastal areas. For example, the ancient city of Venice, Italy has long been threatened by rising sea levels. The situation is made worse by the fact that its ancient buildings, built on a body of water called a lagoon( 淡水湖), are slowly sinking. When the city was founded about 1,600 years ago, the level of the Adriatic Sea was almost two meters lower than it is today.
Rising sea levels are not the only threat. The salty water is also destroying Venice’s famous buildings and artworks. The Italian government is trying to fix the problem with the construction of a seven-billion-dollar system of moving flood barriers.
Climate change is also leading to the melting of ice in other areas, such as Mount Kilimanjaro in northeastern Tanzania. It is the highest point in Africa, measuring almost 6,000 meters. The mountain supports five vegetation zones and many kinds of animals.
The ice glaciers on the mountain are disappearing very quickly. This will have a bad effect on the mountain’s ecosystems and on Tanzania’s travel industry. Also, a valuable record of thousands of years of weather history will also be lost if the ice melts. Scientists study pieces of glacier to understand weather patterns from thousands of years ago.
In the United States, the icy masses in Glacier National Park in Montana may soon completely disappear because of climate change. In 1850, there were an estimated 150 glaciers in the more than 400,000 hectare park.
There are 26 glaciers remaining today. Scientists estimate that the glaciers will be gone by 2030. Warming temperatures are also threatening the many kinds of plants and animals that live in this mountain ecosystem.

My grandmother became a widow in 1970. Shortly after that, we went to the 21 shelter to pick out a dog to keep her 22 . Grandma decided on a little dog with a reddish-brown spot above each eye. 23 these spots, the dog was named Penny.
Grandma and Penny quickly became very 24 to each other, but that attachment grew much stronger about three years later 25 Grandma had a stroke（中风）. Grandma could no longer 26 , so when she came home from the hospital, she and Penny were 27 companions.
After her stroke, it became a real 28 for Grandma to let Penny in and out because 29 was at the bottom of a flight of stairs. So a mechanism（机械装置）using a rope and pulley（滑轮）was 30 from the door to a handle at the top of the stairs. Grandma just had to pull the handle to open and close the door. If the store was 31 Penny’s favorite dog food, Grandma would make one of us 32 Penny browned
beef with potatoes in it. I can remember 33 my grandmother by saying that she loved that dog better than she loved her family.As the years passed, it was not 34 for Grandma and Penny to separate each other. If Grandma went to take her nap（打盹）, Penny stayed by her side until she 35 . As Penny aged, she could no longer jump up on the bed, so she 36 on the rug （垫子）beside the bed. If Grandma went into the 37 , Penny would walk along beside her, wait outside the door and accompany her 38 to the bed or chair. Grandma never went anywhere without her 39 companion by her side.
The time came when both my grandmother’s and Penny’s 40 were failing fast. After fifteen years of loving companionship, Grandma and Penny passed away within a few hours of each other.

More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work． In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual． In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday, but only on Friday． This became known as "dress-down Friday" or "casual Friday．" "What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing．" said business consultant Maisly Jones．
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it"s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code． "A lot of young people don"t want to dress up for work," says the owner of a software company, "so it"s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code．" Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes． In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale （士气）． Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative effect on productivity． Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money． "Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day," one person said． "For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes．"
