A trigger is the actuatr f behavir. Triggers cme in tw types: external and internal. Habit-frming prducts start by alerting users with external triggers like an email, a website link, r the app icn. Fr example, suppse Barbra, a yung wman in Pennsylvania, happens t see a pht in her Facebk taken by a family member frm a rural part f the state. It’s a lvely picture and since she is planning a trip there, the external trigger’s call-t-actin intrigues her and she clicks. By cycling thrugh successive hks, users begin t frm assciatins with internal triggers, which attach t existing behavirs and emtins.

When a severe heat wave cvered Califrnia in July 2006, it killed an estimated 650 peple. But it may be tugh t recall because heat waves dn’t typically have names. They are already the deadliest weather-related danger, yet they remain invisible killers that few peple take seriusly. What if the mst life-threatening heat waves did have names?
This summer as many experience high temperatures fueled by greenhuse gas pllutin and El Niñ, there has been new penness t the idea f naming heat waves. Peple in Suthern Eurpe have dubbed the July heat wave Cerberus. The results f a survey f mre than 2,000 peple fund that peple wh knew the heat wave was named Cerberus were als mre likely t take actins t stay safe, including drinking mre water, spending mre time indrs and warning thers abut the risk.
Thugh mre research is needed, this suggests that naming heat waves, cmbined with strnger messaging, can nt nly help change peple’s perceptin f the risk, but prmpt them t take prtective actin. It wuld be mre effective t bradcast that Heat Wave Ze, a dangerus Categry 3 event, will start tmrrw and here’s what yu can d t prtect yurself, yur neighbrs and c-wrkers. Names, after all, are easier t remember than numbers r weather frecasts.
But the Wrld Meterlgical (气象学的) Organizatin ppses naming heat waves n the grunds that it wuld cnfuse and distract the public. And the Natinal Weather Service has n plans t rank r name heat waves either, saying that heat and its health impacts vary s dramatically acrss different regins and seasns that even cming up with a standard definitin f a heat wave is impssible.
There’s nthing t lse by trying ut a pilt prgram t name the mst dangerus heat waves. It’s pretty clear the current apprach t these disasters is falling far shrt f what’s necessary t prtect lives. We need ther ways t call attentin t it and warn the public f the danger. It’s hard t make prgress fighting an enemy with n name.
12. Why des the authr mentin the severe heat wave that cvered Califrnia in July 2006?
A. T clarify the severity f heat waves.B. T remind peple f the tugh heat wave.
C. T intrduce the tpic f naming heat waves.D. T shw peple’s ignrance f the heat wave.
13 What can we learn frm paragraph 2 and 3?
A. Due t its effectiveness, naming waves is a must.
B. There exist benefits f categrizing and naming heat waves.
C. Naming heat waves can change peple’s perceptin f the risk.
D. Naming heat waves can urge peple t take prmpt actin t prtect themselves.
14. Why des the Natinal Weather Service have n plans t name heat waves?
A. It will cnfuse and distract the public.
B. It is inapprpriate fr naming heat waves.
C. It is difficult t distinguish and predict heat waves.
D. It is unlikely t put frward a standard definitin fr heat waves.
15. What is the authr’s attitude t naming heat waves?
A. Apprving.B. Indifferent.C. Dubtful.D. Oppsed.

When a severe heat wave cvered Califrnia in July 2006, it killed an estimated 650 peple. But it may be tugh t recall because heat waves dn’t typically have names. They are already the deadliest weather-related danger, yet they remain invisible killers that few peple take seriusly. What if the mst life-threatening heat waves did have names?
This summer as many experience high temperatures fueled by greenhuse gas pllutin and El Niñ, there has been new penness t the idea f naming heat waves. Peple in Suthern Eurpe have dubbed the July heat wave Cerberus. The results f a survey f mre than 2,000 peple fund that peple wh knew the heat wave was named Cerberus were als mre likely t take actins t stay safe, including drinking mre water, spending mre time indrs and warning thers abut the risk.
Thugh mre research is needed, this suggests that naming heat waves, cmbined with strnger messaging, can nt nly help change peple’s perceptin f the risk, but prmpt them t take prtective actin. It wuld be mre effective t bradcast that Heat Wave Ze, a dangerus Categry 3 event, will start tmrrw and here’s what yu can d t prtect yurself, yur neighbrs and c-wrkers. Names, after all, are easier t remember than numbers r weather frecasts.
But the Wrld Meterlgical (气象学的) Organizatin ppses naming heat waves n the grunds that it wuld cnfuse and distract the public. And the Natinal Weather Service has n plans t rank r name heat waves either, saying that heat and its health impacts vary s dramatically acrss different regins and seasns that even cming up with a standard definitin f a heat wave is impssible.
There’s nthing t lse by trying ut a pilt prgram t name the mst dangerus heat waves. It’s pretty clear the current apprach t these disasters is falling far shrt f what’s necessary t prtect lives. We need ther ways t call attentin t it and warn the public f the danger. It’s hard t make prgress fighting an enemy with n name.
12. Why des the authr mentin the severe heat wave that cvered Califrnia in July 2006?
A. T clarify the severity f heat waves.B. T remind peple f the tugh heat wave.
C. T intrduce the tpic f naming heat waves.D. T shw peple’s ignrance f the heat wave.
13 What can we learn frm paragraph 2 and 3?
A. Due t its effectiveness, naming waves is a must.
B. There exist benefits f categrizing and naming heat waves.
C. Naming heat waves can change peple’s perceptin f the risk.
D. Naming heat waves can urge peple t take prmpt actin t prtect themselves.
14. Why des the Natinal Weather Service have n plans t name heat waves?
A. It will cnfuse and distract the public.
B. It is inapprpriate fr naming heat waves.
C. It is difficult t distinguish and predict heat waves.
D. It is unlikely t put frward a standard definitin fr heat waves.
15. What is the authr’s attitude t naming heat waves?
