Mental Health to Decline With Climate Change

Global warming can be absolute depressing. Turns out, it is.

Nature Tourism Doesn't always Help

Ecotourists who want to help protect the environment with their travel

dollars may be best off backpacking.

Greenhouse Gases May Endanger Human Health

public health and welfare.

Newest weapon Against Climate Change: Rocks

A strong contender in the fight against global warming may be right

under our feet.

Climate Changing Faster Than Expected

As climate change exceeds the worst predictions, scientists emphasize

the urgency of reducing emissions.

Airline Passengers May Face Radiation Risk

Add lightning-produced radiation to the list of potential concerns for

holiday travelers.

下面是这些文章的主要内容。请把相关的内容与它们的标题匹配起来。

1．　 By now with so many persuasive evidences, global warming is developing or exceeding

　 experts' worst expectations, and could bring drastic change to our planet, including a 19-foot

　 sea level rise and the extinction of many species, according to a new report released today.

　 So scientists sound the alarm.

2．　 Besides adventure and relaxation, there is some comfort in thinking that your tourist dollars

help protect the natural beauty you go to visit. But it doesn't always work that way. A new

study in Uganda（乌干达）found that people who spent more money to se gorillas in Bwindi

Impenetrable National Park didn't necessarily help the local community more.

3．　 Rocks with a powerful thirst for carbon dioxide could suck enough of the greenhouse gas

from the atmosphere to help counteract global warming, according to a recent study. Formed

under heat and pressure deep in the Earth, the rocks have unusual chemical properties when

moving up to the surface, which include absorbing carbon dioxide.

4．　 A rise in natural disasters caused by the global warming will lead to more cases of stress

disorder and depression. According to various evidences, climate change will bring new

cases of stress, anxiety and depression. People who already have serious psychological problems will　

probably suffer most in the natural disasters and extreme weather events.

5．　 The Environmental Protection Agency has concluded greenhouse gases are endangering

people's health and must be regulated, indicating that the Obama administration is prepared

to contain global warming if necessary and that the United States is aggressively taking

actions to fight against global warming and protect its people's health..

　　Ten years ago, Pierre Omidyar, a software engineer working in California's Silicon Valley, began thinking about how to use the internet for a trading system in which buyers and sellers could establish a genuine market price．Over a long holiday weekend he wrote the computer code．At first, a trickle of users arrived at his website－including his girlfriend, who traded PEZ candy dispensers．By the end of 1995, several thousand auctions had been completed and interest in eBay was growing．And it grew and grew．From this modest beginning, eBay has become a global giant, with around 150m registered users worldwide who are set to buy and sell goods worth more than $40 billion this year．

　　The remarkable tale of eBay's growth points to some important lessons for any business trying to operate online－and today that includes, one way or another, most firms．The commercial opportunities presented by an expanding global web seem almost limitless．But the pace of change is rapid, and so is the ferocity(激烈)of competition．To succeed, firms need agility(灵活), an open mind and the ability to reinvent themselves repeatedly．Most of all, they need to listen carefully to their customers, paying close attention to what they do and don't want．

　　Such qualities, of course, would be valuable in any kind of business．Yet for online firms they are not a luxury, but necessary for mere survival．This is true for a variety of reasons．The internet is not only growing, but changing rapidly－which, in turn, changes the rules of the game for any business relying on it．The barriers to entry are still low compared with those for most offline businesses, which means that just keeping track of your existing rivals is not enough．These may not represent the greatest competitive threat tomorrow or the next day．That could come from a number of directions－a firm in a different type of online business; one that does not yet exist; or even from one of your own customers．On top of all this, the behavior of many consumers is constantly changing as well, as individuals discover new ways to shop and interact with each other via the web．

　　All these factors make the internet a dangerous place to do business, as well as one full of promise．eBay's history demonstrates both of those things．It is probably safe to say full of promise．eBay could have existed without the internet－or could have grown so fast．Even though there have been signs of the firm's blistering(快速的)pace slowing a bit in America, its most “mature” market. there remain vast opportunities overseas, particularly, some argue, in China．Meg Whitman, eBay's chief executive, believes the company is still only at the beginning of what it could achieve．
