there is a united global effort to hold back greenhouse gas outpouring. in the decades to come, asiahome to more than half the worlds 63 billion peoplewill change from one climate extreme to another, with tired farmers battling droughts, floods, disease, food shortages and rising sea levels. its not a pretty picture, said steve sawyer, climate policy adviser with greenpeace in amsterdam. global warming and changes of weather patterns are already occurring and there is more than enough carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to drive climate change for decades to come. already, changes are being felt in asia but worse is likely to come. sawyer and top climate bodies say, and could lead to mass migration and widespread human disasters. according to predictions, icebergs will melt faster, some pacific and indian ocean islands will have to evacuate or build sea defenses, storms will become stronger and insects and water-borne diseases will move into new areas as the world warms. all this comes on top of rising populations and demand for food, water and other resources. experts say environmental worsening such as deforestation and pollution will likely enlarge the results of climate change. in what could be a sign of the future, japan was hit by a record of 10 typhoons and tropical storms this year, while two - thirds of bangladesh, parts of nepal and large areas of northeastern india were flooded, affecting 50 million people, destroying livelihoods and making tens of thousands ill. the year before, a winter cold strike and a summer heat wave

when you ask them deeper questions, it turns out that they like to shop. men generally like to shop for books, music and hardware. but if you ask them about the shopping they do for books or music, theyll say, “ well, thats not shopping. thats research.”in other words, what men and women call “buying things” and how they approach that task are different. women will wander through several 1,000-square-meter stores in search of the perfect party dress. men will wander through 100 internet sites in search of the perfect digital camcorder（攝錄像一體機(jī)）. women see shopping as a social event. men see it as a special task or a game to be won. “men are frequently shopping to win,” says ann, a marketing professor at loyola university of chicago. “they want to get the best deal. they want to get the best one, the latest one and if they do that it makes them happy.” when women shop, theyre doing it in a way that they want everybody to be very happy,” says ann. “theyre kind of shopping for

magazines such as gq and esquire have long had shopping articles, its tv that has the eye of young male shoppers,” say ann and zukin. “television shows are used by young men in the same way seventeen magazine or lucky is used by girls,” says zukin, “to help make clothing and toiletry（化妝品） choices. ”“of course, there are men who love to shop and are proud of it,” loyolas ann says. and that is important no matter whether you buy a car or a frying pan. all men love to buy but dont want to get cheated. ann adds, “there actually are men who are interested, for example, in cooking or shopping or chinaware or things around the home-they become kind of girl magnets. women like it. ”60. from the first paragraph we can find that _. a. men are all dishonest b. men are all book-loversc. men hate
