July was the wrld's httest mnth n recrd. Wildfires this summer destryed a Hawaiian city and caused excuatins(疏散) in Canada. Greece, and Thailand. Flds devastated twns in Vermnt in July and killed thusands f Libyans in September.
Jhn Vaillant's new bk Fire Weather aims t shake us ut f this with a tale f terrr frm a climate change frntline: the city f Frt McMurray, in nrthern Canada's vast frest, where an uncntrllable wildfire during an exceptinally warm spring in 2016 flded entire cmmunities within days.
Vaillant tells his stry at disaster-mvie pace, starting with the glimpse f smke n the hrizn and assurances frm the authrities that all will be fine. Munting misfrtune fllws as the flames lick glf curses n the city's edge. By the end, 90, 00 peple had been evacuated, 2,500 structures destryed, anther 500 damaged. The energy generated by the fire created its wn weather system, with hurricane frce winds and lightning strikes.
What attracts me mst is the bk's central irny. The stry takes place in Frt McMurrary, which is the industrial centre f nrthern Alberta's tar sands, ne f the wrld's largest fssil fuel depsits.

Fire Weather isn't a typical disaster bk. Vaillant's references t Nassim Taleb, Lucretius, Seamus Heaney, The Lrd f the Rings, Xerxes, and Mby-Dick can grant. But Vaillant's theme is als catching my eyes. Our industrial wrld is releasing carbn at a rate 10 times faster than scientists can find in the gelgical recrd fr the past 250mn years, he writes. "Thanks t fire and ur appetite fr bundless energy, we have evlved int a gelgic event that will be measurable a millin years frm nw."

The past few mnths have brught electrifying news that, fr the first time, a gene treatment has prvided sme hearing t children brn with deafness.
Eli Lilly annunced this week, fr example, that a prfundly deaf by frm Mrcc given its treatment as part f a clinical trial in Philadelphia can nw hear. And five children in China treated similarly at yunger ages gained hearing with sme able t verbally cmmunicate withut their cchlear implants(人工耳蜗). Their hearing recvery, first cvered by the press in Octber 2023, is described in de tail this week in The Lancet.
"It's an enrmus achievement," says geneticist Karen Avraham f Tel Aviv University. Otlarynglgist(耳鼻喉科专家) and gene therapist Lawrence Lustig f Clumbia University, whse lab was amng the first t test the same apprach in mice, agrees. "Other than cchlear implants, we haven't really had any successful treatment s t treat deafness," he ntes.
The varius effrts frm cmpanies and academic centers each use a virus t insert the same gene, OTOF, int the children's inner ear s the s-called hair cells there can sense sund and transmit it t the brain.
The new deafness treatments add t a string f recent successes fr the gene treatment field, but als raise questins. The ear's hair cells dn't divide, s the new cpies f OTOF they cntain shuld persist and cntinue t instruct the cells t make OTOF. Gene expressin culd drp ff ver time r the ear culd munt an immune respnse that shuts it ff.
But Lustig is ptimistic that the varius challenges will be vercme. "Nw that we've gt ne success stry, there's ging t be mre mney cming in t fund sme f these ther prjects," he says.
12. What d we knw abut the new treatment?
A . It is a ttally mature practice. B . It's a China-nly clinical trial. C . It uses a virus t sense sund. D . It aims t treat the deafness.
13. Which f the fllwing best describes the impact f the treatment?
A . Breakthrugh. B . Regret. C . Disappintment. D . Adventure.
14. What is the prblem f the gene treatment?
A . The brain refuses t receive it. B . Gene stps t prduce hair cells. C . Gene expressin might be weakened. D . Cmpanies really prfit a lt frm it.
15. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A . Electrifying News Based n Sme Clinical Trials B . Gene Treatment That Brings Deaf Children Hpe C . Ways Hw Scientists Develp Cchlear Implants D . Challenges Abut the New Deafness Treatment

With Sra, that's vastly reduced r gne altgether. The 43 (bject) remain stable even when cvered by things in the fregrund. We've seen smething similar t this in research since 2019, but what is new is the ability 44 (cmbine) tw vides tgether in ne scene.

Sra, like digital audi wrkstatin 45 (envelp) recrding studis several years ag, must be a trend sn.

It had been a challenging week, marked by a sudden large increase in il prices cinciding with a sharp drp in temperatures in Bstn. It was nearly belw zer degree. With three missed wrkdays under my belt, my upcming paycheck was ging t be lwer than nrmal. The stress weighed heavily n me as I carefully sught fr every cnceivable pprtunity t save pennies, ensuring that I culd affrd bth grceries and keep the huse warm.
My eight-year-ld sn didn't understand when I tld him we were struggling that week. He had his heart set n a particular brand f ygurt, but I didn't have the extra three dllars t buy it fr him. It was the kind f ygurt decrated with a cartn child skatebarding n its packaging, cntaining a mere tw spnfuls per cup. Such prducts, designed t lure children with their flashy marketing, nly served t make me hate advertising.
Hwever, a bunch f parental guilt gripped me as his inncent eyes met mine, silently questining, "Why is ygurt such a big deal?" Determıned t sweep his disappintment, I made a sacrifice typical f single mthers. I returned an item needed t the shelf, ensuring that he culd enjy his favrite ygurt.
On the jurney back frm the grcery stre, a sight caught my attentin—a hmeless man, hlding a sign by the radside. My heart ached, and I turned arund, bserving passers-by purpsefully steer(绕开) clear f him, aviding any meaningful interactin. Even my sn didn't seem t care much. either. Yet, upn clser inspectin, I nticed the man—bare hands grasping a piece f cardbard, snt frzen t his face, a wrn-ut jacket. And there I was struggling because I had t buy il and grceries. But I decided t help. I pulled ver t the man and handed him a five-dllar bill.

The past few mnths have brught electrifying news that, fr the first time, a gene treatment has prvided sme hearing t children brn with deafness.
Eli Lilly annunced this week, fr example, that a prfundly deaf by frm Mrcc given its treatment as part f a clinical trial in Philadelphia can nw hear. And five children in China treated similarly at yunger ages gained hearing with sme able t verbally cmmunicate withut their cchlear implants(人工耳蜗). Their hearing recvery, first cvered by the press in Octber 2023, is described in de tail this week in The Lancet.
"It's an enrmus achievement," says geneticist Karen Avraham f Tel Aviv University. Otlarynglgist(耳鼻喉科专家) and gene therapist Lawrence Lustig f Clumbia University, whse lab was amng the first t test the same apprach in mice, agrees. "Other than cchlear implants, we haven't really had any successful treatment s t treat deafness," he ntes.
The varius effrts frm cmpanies and academic centers each use a virus t insert the same gene, OTOF, int the children's inner ear s the s-called hair cells there can sense sund and transmit it t the brain.
The new deafness treatments add t a string f recent successes fr the gene treatment field, but als raise questins. The ear's hair cells dn't divide, s the new cpies f OTOF they cntain shuld persist and cntinue t instruct the cells t make OTOF. Gene expressin culd drp ff ver time r the ear culd munt an immune respnse that shuts it ff.
But Lustig is ptimistic that the varius challenges will be vercme. "Nw that we've gt ne success stry, there's ging t be mre mney cming in t fund sme f these ther prjects," he says.
12. What d we knw abut the new treatment?
A . It is a ttally mature practice. B . It's a China-nly clinical trial. C . It uses a virus t sense sund. D . It aims t treat the deafness.
13. Which f the fllwing best describes the impact f the treatment?
A . Breakthrugh. B . Regret. C . Disappintment. D . Adventure.
14. What is the prblem f the gene treatment?
A . The brain refuses t receive it. B . Gene stps t prduce hair cells. C . Gene expressin might be weakened. D . Cmpanies really prfit a lt frm it.
15. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A . Electrifying News Based n Sme Clinical Trials B . Gene Treatment That Brings Deaf Children Hpe C . Ways Hw Scientists Develp Cchlear Implants D . Challenges Abut the New Deafness Treatment

It is a beautiful drne(无人机) sht, 36 ppular kind f vide yu might see in a travel vide. Hwever, there is n drne 37 camera, and yu needn't travel in persn because the vide was generated by AI, which is frm a new tl prgrammed by Open AI called Sra.
It's nt perfect, but it's a large step up frm what we've seen befre. What mst peple dn't knw is 38 Sra can d mre than just create vides frm scratch. It can cmbine separate vides int ne scene. And its vides can be up 39 a minute lng and in 1080p reslutin.

Sra, like digital audi wrkstatin 45 (envelp) recrding studis several years ag, must be a trend sn.

It had been a challenging week, marked by a sudden large increase in il prices cinciding with a sharp drp in temperatures in Bstn. It was nearly belw zer degree. With three missed wrkdays under my belt, my upcming paycheck was ging t be lwer than nrmal. The stress weighed heavily n me as I carefully sught fr every cnceivable pprtunity t save pennies, ensuring that I culd affrd bth grceries and keep the huse warm.
My eight-year-ld sn didn't understand when I tld him we were struggling that week. He had his heart set n a particular brand f ygurt, but I didn't have the extra three dllars t buy it fr him. It was the kind f ygurt decrated with a cartn child skatebarding n its packaging, cntaining a mere tw spnfuls per cup. Such prducts, designed t lure children with their flashy marketing, nly served t make me hate advertising.
Hwever, a bunch f parental guilt gripped me as his inncent eyes met mine, silently questining, "Why is ygurt such a big deal?" Determıned t sweep his disappintment, I made a sacrifice typical f single mthers. I returned an item needed t the shelf, ensuring that he culd enjy his favrite ygurt.
On the jurney back frm the grcery stre, a sight caught my attentin—a hmeless man, hlding a sign by the radside. My heart ached, and I turned arund, bserving passers-by purpsefully steer(绕开) clear f him, aviding any meaningful interactin. Even my sn didn't seem t care much. either. Yet, upn clser inspectin, I nticed the man—bare hands grasping a piece f cardbard, snt frzen t his face, a wrn-ut jacket. And there I was struggling because I had t buy il and grceries. But I decided t help. I pulled ver t the man and handed him a five-dllar bill.
