It is certain that when the eruption of Vesuvius started on the morning of 24 August, 79 AD, it caught the local population unprepared. It is mainly thanks to the account of the younger Pliny that we have some understanding of what happened. And it is through him that we can gain insight into the reactions and feelings of the people caught up in the drama of this natural disaster. Pliny ’s account leaves no doubt that everyone was caught unprepared. His uncle, known as the elder Pliny, was stationed in command of the imperial(帝国的) naval ba at Minum, on the north —west extremity of the Bay of Naples. He was not only the nior military officer in the district, but possibly the most well informed living Roman on matters of natural science. His 37-volume Natural History is the longest work on science in Latin that has survived from antiquity(古代).宜昌教育
But for all his science and his niority, his nephew told us that the elder Pliny was relaxing, after a bath and lunch, when Vesuvius started to erupt. And the sighting of a column of smoke “like an umbrella pine” on the far side of the Bay caud a respon mo
re of curiosity than of alarm in him. The same account showed, however, that the signs were there. But they didn ’t realize the danger becau the phenomenon was frequent in Vesuvius then.
The eruption lasted for more than 24 hours from its start on the morning of 24 August. Tho who fled at once had a chance of survival. It is clear that many, like the elder Pliny, thought their best chance was to take shelter and survived the storm.
The hundreds of refugees sheltering in the street at the aside in Herculaneum,
holding their jewellery and money, met their end quickly. It is impossible to tell how many citizens died.初一英语阅读理解

We all know the feeling of walking into an air-conditioned office building on a hot summer day. It’s 94℉ outside. It’s 64℉ inside. Suddenly, you need a knit sweater just to sit at your desk. I know someone who ud to bring a space heater to work?—?i n August.
Aside from being uncomfortable, this is horrifically inefficient. The low hum of the air conditioner is the sound of coal being burned and money being spent to make you mira
ble at work. BuildingIQ is trying to change that. Their cret weapon? Machine learning.
The company has developed cloud-bad software that gathers information about a building and us it to build a thermal model(热模型). That model can predict how much or how little energy is needed to keep the people inside comfortable by analyzing factors like indoor temperature and pressure, electricity consumption, the weather forecast, the price of electricity, and therefore tailors heating and air conditioning for maximum energy efficiency.
Thanks to a recent cooperation, BuildingIQ will soon take human preferences into account. Changes to heating and air conditioning are always influenced by the limits of human comfort, and tho limits vary from person to person. This data will be added into the thermal model. Imagine a retirement home where the occupants are always too cold. If the system knows this, it will reduce the air conditioning in the summer to keep grandma and grandpa nice and warm.
