阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　In the United States you will find yourself being urged from every page of every newspaper and every television station to buy all kinds of goods．

　　Not only is there a wide range of prices for goods in America, there is also a wide range in the quality of goods offered for sale．Unlike some countries．

　　Americans generally pay the price of a product without question, instead of trying to get a lower price by bargaining．However, there are many “sales” in the United States, during which time stores will lower their normal prices．This may all be very confusing to visitors．How are you going to know how to “get your money's worth” when you shop? Perhaps the best advice is：Don't hurry．Visit various stores and determine the quality of goods．Read the advertisements so that you can compare prices．

　　There is a great variety of shops in the United States, ranging from very large stores called “department stores” to very small shops．There are “discount houses” offering goods at low prices, and “dime stores” specializing in a wide range of inexpensive items．

　　Most department stores in large cities carry better quality products at higher prices．However, they offer the shoppers great convenience since they contain such a wide variety of products．

　　If convenience isn't as important to you as price, you may want to shop in discount houses．These stores have nearly as great a variety of goods as department stores, but offer lower prices．They can do so for several reasons．They don't offer the same services to buyers that department stores do; there may be fewer sales people; and the store probably doesn't deliver purchases．

　　Another popular shop is the “dime store”．No longer selling many things for five or ten cents, these stores got their name in the last century when it was decided that a small profit on a great quantity of goods would be better than a large profit on fewer sales．Dime stores specialize in a wide variety of inexpensive items and today, prices range from a quarter or 50 cents up to several dollars．

Global warming and changing climatic conditions are triggering disease epidemics in wildlife around the world, reports a famous team of ecologists and epidemiologists in the Friday June 21st issue of Science.

"What is most surprising is the fact that climate sensitive outbreaks are happening with so many different types of pathogens (病原体) ----viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites----as well as in such a wide range of hosts (寄主) including corals, oysters, terrestrial plants, birds, and humans, " says lead author Drew Harvell of Cornell University.

"This isn't just a question of coral bleaching for a few marine ecologists, nor just a question of malaria for a few health officials---the number of similar increases in disease incidence is astonishing," says coauthor Richard Ostfeld from the Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook New York. "We don't want to be alarmists, but we are alarmed."

The team documented examples of viruses, bacteria, and fungi associated with diseases that develop more rapidly with slight rises in temperature. Many vectors of disease such as mosquitoes, flies, and rodents, as well as the viral, fungal, and bacterial pathogens are highly temperature and moisture sensitive. As temperature increases, these carriers are likely to spread into new areas and may have potentially devastating effects on wildlife populations that have not been previously exposed. Reproduction, growth, and biting rates of insects all go up with increases of temperature. Winter is the limiting time for many pathogens, killing back populations each year. With milder winters, this population bottleneck may be removed for many species. Warmer, longer summers also mean that the period of time of disease transmission is longer. Warmer summers may increase host susceptibility to disease due to thermal stress, particularly in the oceans. Marine bacteria and fungal growth rates are positively correlated with increasing temperature.

A．Drew Harvell B．Richard Ostfeld
