Air-conditioning could warm the world
More than crickets and fireflies, more than baball and cookouts,perhaps nothing signals the arrival of summer in the United States like the soft familiar whir of air-conditioning. But there is growing concern (21) __________ as other countries adopt America’s love of air-conditioners, the electricity ud to power them will overburden electrical grids and increa planet-warming emissions.
The number of air-conditioners worldwide (22) __________ (predict) to soar from 1.6 billion units today to 5.6 billion units by midcentury, according to a report issued Tuesday by the International Energy Agency. If left unchecked, by 2050 air-conditioners would u as much electricity as China does for all activities today.

Greenhou gas emissions (relea) by coal and natural gas plants when generating electricity to power tho air-conditioners would nearly double, from 1.25 billion tons in 2016 to 2.28 billion tons in 2050.Tho emissions would contribute to(24) __________ (accelerate) global warming,
(25) __________ could further heighten the demand for air-conditioning.
(26) __________ 90 percent of American houholds have air-conditioning, “When we look in fact at the hot countries in the world, in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East, where about 2.8 billion people live, only about 8 percent of the population owns an air-conditioner,”said Fatih Birol, executive director of the energy agency. As incomes in tho countries ri, however, more people are installing air-conditioners in their homes. The energy agency predicts much of the growth in air-conditioning (27) __________(occur) in India, China and Indonesia.
(28) __________ of the spread is simply being driven by a desire for comfort in parts of the world that have always been hot. But other factors are at play.For example, (29) __________ houhold wealth increas, so does the prence of houhold appliances like refrigerators and televisions, the report notes.

The problem with being yourlf
渗透压力
British women feel the same about their bodies as we do about school dinner. Full of hate. They have almost the lowest lf-esteem in the world, with only 20% feeling ___31___about their bodies, according to interviews with 10,500 women and girls across 13 countries for the latest Dove lf-esteem in women project.
Though the study is new, the information, of cour, is not. None of this is___32___surprising. The two new things that this study tells us are: first, that Britain’s body anxiety is getting wor. And cond, while 60% of women say they believe they need to “meet certain beauty standards”, 77% believe it is also important to “be ourlves”. What do you do with a
___33___like that--between the pressure on you to be thin and blonde, and the pressure to “embrace your curves”, “love your imperfections”? To be strong, brave, “natural”, real, and at the same time look like Jennifer Lawrence.
This___34___requirement for the modern and liberated woman to “be herlf”feels increasingly harmful. While we should give Dove___35___for its mission to inspire confidence in women, however shaky the premi (前提), I fear the modern panic it helps create. There was that side-eyed term, “real women”--authenticity (真实性)is___36___, especially for women. But you would be more lovable only if the authentic you is not incure, odd, sad, or has that old worry chewing at your throat and only if the authentic you believes not only that your body is beautiful but that beauty really ___37___.
At least the old pressure was prescriptive. You could e the ___38___ of it, you could walk around it,overthrow it, laugh at it,toss it in the bin. To “be yourlf”, when that means appearing confident, happy, brave and healthy, takes more than Botox (瘦脸针)-- it requires, among other things, a ___39___ of all the societal crap(废物) that has brought you to a place where you feel the need to ___40___ up tho parts of your personality that are deemed unattractive. The problem with “be yourlf”is the insistence that, rather than the culture, the adverts, the media and the politics, it is still
you who needs to change.

Who Will Own the Cars That Drive Themlves?
Fleets of vehicles roaming streets waiting to be hailed are more efficient. But the coronavirus has made people think twice about the future of car ownership even when autonomous tech arrives.
It was a difficult question even before the coronavirus pandemic hit: When lf-driving cars eventually ____41____the roads, will Americans own their cars or make u of ride-hailing fleets? The ____42____is now threefold. Self-driving car technology had already reached a plateau(稳定期), and getting to full Level 5 autonomy will be more difficult than many had thought. With the nation’s economy hobbled by the virus, investment is slowing. And to car owners, their private automobile is now a
____43____, and it’s unclear how long that attitude will persist.
A /doc/d365da6bab8271fe910ef12d2af90242a895ab22.html poll of 400 active car shoppers, conducted in May for this article, asked, “What is your ____44____ opinion about the development of lf-driving cars?” It showed 22 percent of customers were excited by the prospect. A survey of auto owners in 2019 showed 31
sanepercent of them were excited for autonomous cars.
The question about the long-term future for the world’s cars is far from ttled, and the experts (some of whom e disaster for the planet if people own autonomous cars as we own our cars now) differ ____45____ in their perception of where we’re heading.
Last year, Tesla’s chief, Elon Musk, predicted that his company would have a million “robotaxis” on the road in 2020.
____46____, that’s not happening. Mr. Musk said in April that the cars would simply have the “functionality” this year.
“____47____ is the big unknown factor,” he said in a tweet.
The outlook is now cloudy. “The top priority of automakers around the globe is to conrve cash and generate revenue as they ramp up plants,” said Michelle Krebs, executive analyst for Cox Automotive. “That has pushed future technologies, like autonomous vehicles and even some electric vehicles, not ____48____but to the back burner temporarily.”
Jessica Caldwell, executive director of Insights at
/doc/d365da6bab8271fe910ef12d2af90242a895ab22.html , adds that achieving the ____49____ goals of autonomy and electrification “was challenging even back when the market was healthy and functional.”
“A large percentage of the population will ____50____alternatives, like the personal vehicle,” said Ben Stanley, global automotive business lead at the IBM unit. “You ____51____who’s in that.”
Some analysts e a mix of cars on the road, including in Europe. “Some clearly will be privately owned, but having empty cars running errands or circling for their owners is something that city streets were simply not ____52____ for,” Philippe Crist, advir for innovation and foresight at the International Transport Forum of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, said via email. That means that European cities will ____53____ shared u of autonomous cars, he add
ed. The question of ownership is ____54____, in part, becau the technology is still evolving.One principle is that autonomous vehicles “are part of shared fleets, well-regulated, and zero emission.” It does em likely that lf-driving cars will be electric, becau the industry is moving in that direction in cooperation with its push for autonomy. But whether they’ll also be shared is far from ____55____.
