Aside frm Seahawks caches shuting during training camp, yu may find head cach Pete Carrll thrwing passes t receivers r casually running 100-yard sprints（短跑）dwn the field befre the practice begins.
At 71 years ld, Carrll says he has n magic al secret t staying active and healthy while being the NFL’s ldest head cach.

It’s a big reasn why we’re successful.” Dissly is ne f many Seahawks players wh sees Carrll’s wrk as a stimulus.

Frecasters say Flridians shuld mnitr a system likely t becme a trpical depressin（热带低压）as it mves int the Gulf f Mexic by early next week.
The area f lw pressure ver the nrthwestern Caribbean Sea was prducing shwers and thunderstrms, accrding t a Friday evening update frm the Natinal Hurricane Center.

Michael Brennan, the Natinal Hurricane Center directr, said in a live vide Friday, “There is a lt f uncertainty with this system since it’s yet t take shape. What we’re mst cnfident in is that there will likely be sme rainfall impacts acrss much f the Flrida Peninsula and pssibly up alng the sutheast cast f the United States.”
The ptential threat fr Flrida wuld cme arund n Tuesday, said Brian McNldy, a researcher at the University f Miami. McNldy added that glbal mdels were in agreement that the system wuld develp slwly. The hurricane center n Friday gave the system the temprary name f Invest 93L, meaning frecasters wuld cllect specialized data and run mre mdels.
Accrding t Mark Luther, a prfessr at the University f Suth Flrida, trpical systems like t feed ff that ht water, especially when it’s ht belw the surface like it is nw. “Keep a sharp eye n it and have yur hurricane plan in place,” Luther said. “Even if it’s a small strm, if it hits at the right angle, it can cause flding arund here.”
Strms that crss thrugh this steam y sectin f the eastern Gulf f Mexic have histrically intensified（增强）quickly. Hurricane Michael in 2018 emerged ff the Yucatán Peninsula befre ultimately making landfall as a Categry 5 strm in Flrida’s Panhandle.

This past July was the httest recrded mnth in human histry. Heat waves brake temperature recrds wrldwide. It’s mre than just a matter f sweaty discmfrt. As climate change wrsens, access t artificially cled spaces is rapidly becming a health necessity.
Yet standard air-cnditining systems leave us trapped in a negative feedback cycle: the htter it is, the mre peple use the air cnditin er and the mre energy is cnsumed as a result. Cling is the fastest-grwing single surce f energy use in buildings, accrding t the Internatinal Energy Agency. Breaking the cycle requires new innvatins that will help bring cler air t mre peple with less envirnmental impact.
Standard air-cnditining systems cl and dehumidify（除湿）thrugh a relatively inefficient mechanism: in rder t cndense（冷凝）water ut f the air, they vercl that air past the pint f cmfrt. Many new designs therefre separate the dehumidificatin and cling prcesses, which avids the need t vercl. Fr example, sme new air cnditiner designs pull water frm the air with desiccant（干燥剂）materials. The dried air can then be cled t a mre reasnable temperature. Massachusetts-based start-up Transaera claims that the system it is develping culd use 35 percent less energy than the average standard air-cnditining unit.
Hwever, the gains in efficiency might nt help us get rid f the impact f air-cnditining. “It wn’t wrk t simply replace every existing air cnditiner with a better mdel and call it a day,” says Nicle Miranda, an engineer at the University f Oxfrd. “Instead, a truly cder future will have t emply ther strategies. It’s critical t bring greenery and water bdies int cities t take advantage f natural airflw.”
“Cling is a challenge invlving many aspects,” says Sneha Sachar, an expert at the nnprfit rganizatin ClimateWrks. “There isn’t ne strategy r ne answer. We need a cmbinatin f better buildings and cities, better technlgies and a better understanding that the true cst f air-cnditining extends beynd electric bills.”
32. Why des the authr talk abut recrd heat in the first paragraph?
A. T make cmparisns.B. T supprt his thery.
C. T intrduce the tpic.D. T shw cled places.
33. What des Transaera say abut its system?
A. It’s available in the market.B. It’s time-hnured.
C. It’s the mst efficient mdel.D. It’s energy-saving.
34. What is Nicle Miranda’s attitude t just upgrading air cnditiners?
A. Favrable.B. Tlerant.C. Negative.D. Uncaring.
35. What message des Sneha Sachar want t cnvey abut cling?
A. Cmpanies will ffer varius ptins.
B. A cmprehensive apprach is required.
C. We can address the issue nce and fr all.
D. Our first pririty is t lwer electric bills.
