The strangest weather of last year was possibly not on Earth, but on the Sun. Every 11years (31) the Sun goes through a cycle of sunspots- actually magnetic storms erupting across its surface. The number of sunspots (32) _ its minimum in 2007 and (33) have increased soon afterwards, but the Sun has remained strangely quiet since then. Scientists have been baffled as weeks and sometimes months have gone by without a single sunspot, in (34) is thought to be the deepest solar minimum for almost 100 years. t']/2m.&p
This (35) of solar activity means that cosmic rays reaching Earth from space have increased and the planet's ionosphere in the upper atmosphere has sunk in (36) , giving less drag on satellites and making collisions between them and space junk more likely. The solar minimum could also be cooling the climate on Earth because of slightly diminished solar irradiance, in fact, the quiet spell on the Sun may be (37) some of the warming effects of greenhouse gases, according to recent research by two US solar scientists. The solar minimum, their study suggests, accounts for the somewhat fiat temperature trend of the past decade. But o#1Ta7Ro
(38) if this solar minimum is offsetting global warming, scientists stress that the overall effect is relatively slight and certainly will not last. mAGD qz>f
The Sun has gone into long quiet spells before. From 1645 to 1715 few sunspots were seen during a period called the Little Ice Age, when short summers and savage winters often plagued Northern Europe. Scotland was hit particularly (39) as harvests were ruined in cold, miserable summers, which led to famine, death, migration and huge depopulation, But whether the quiet Sun was entirely to blame for it remains highly (40) x=L"qC9f/

Three (51) _ years ago Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit made his (52) i<>%y*+@
thermometer in his home town of Danzig (Now Gdansk in Poland). The thermometer was filled with (53) and completely sealed, but it was not much use without some sort of (54) to measure the temperature. ||TZ[l
One story (55) that, during the winter of 1708-09, Fahrenheit took a measurement of 0 degrees as the coldest temperature outdoors — which would now read as minus 17. 8C. Five years (56) he used mercury instead of alcohol for his (57) , and made a top reference point by measuring his own body temperature as 90 degrees. Soon afterwards he became a glassblower, (58) LJb=9tp~
allowed him to make thinly blown glass tubes that could be marked up with more points on the scale and so (59) accuracy. }Rh%bf7,
Eventually he took the (60) point of his temperature scale from a leading made in ice, water and salt, and a top point made from the boiling point of water. The scale was recalibrated using 180 degrees between these (61) points and Fahrenheit was able to make much more accurate and more (62) measurements of temperature. vL[IVBG^
But in 1742 a rival challenged the Fahrenheit scale and (63) G4'Ee5(o
superseded it. Anders Celsius, in Sweden, invented a scale of 100 degrees between the ;/wH/!b

Time for another global-competitiveness alert. In the Third International Mathematics and Science Study—which last year tested a half-million students in 41 countries—American eighth graders 21 below the world average in math. And that's not even 22 part. Consider this as you try to 23 which countries will dominate the technology markets of the 21st century: the top 10 percent of America's math students scored about the same as the average kid in the global 24 , Singapore. n[y^S3}%;
It isn't exactly a news flash these days 25 Americans score behind the curve on international tests. But educators say this study is 26 because it monitored variables both inside and outside the classroom. Laziness—the factor often 27 for Americans poor performance—is not the culprit here. American students 28 spend more time in class than pupils in Japan and Germany. 29 , they get more ]w]BKpU=
homework and watch the same amount of TV. The problem, educators say, is not the kids but a curriculum that is too 30 . The study found that lessons for U. S. eighth graders contained topics mastered by seventh graders in other countries. }z\ t}lven
Teachers actually agree that Americans need to 31 their kids to more sophisticated math earlier. Unfortunately, experts say, the teachers don't recognize that 32 these concepts are taught is as important as the concepts themselves. ;H71A[M

Attitudes of respect, modesty and fair play can grow only out of slowly acquired skills that parents teach their children over many years through shared experience and memory. If a child reaches adulthood 21 recollections only of television, Little League and birthday parties, then that child has little to 22 when a true test of character comes up—say, in a(n) 23 business situation. " 24 that child feels grounded in who he is and where he comes from, 25 else is an act, " says etiquette expert Betty Jo Trakimas. NcSi %]
The Dickmeyers of Carmel, Indiana 26 every Friday night as "family night" with their three children. Often the family plays board games or hide-and-seek. "My children love it, "says Theresa, their mother. "Nq5FcS9
Can playing hide-and-seek really teach a child about manners? Yes, says Trakimas and 27 , because it ells the child that his parents 28 enough to spend time with him, he is loved and can learn to love others. "Manners aren't about using the 29 fork , " Trakimas adds, "Manners are about being kind—giving 30 , team-playing, making tiny sacrifices. Children learn that 31 their parents. " w0<1=;_%
While children don't 32 warm to the idea of learning to be polite, there's no reason for them to see manners as a bunch of dreary 33 either. They're the building blocks of a child's education. " 34 a rule becomes second nature, it frees us, " Trakimas says. How well could Tiger Woods play golf if he had to keep !g~u'r'1

The changes in globally averaged temperature that have occurred at the Earth’s surface over the past century are similar in size and timing to those 61 by models that take into account the combined influences of human factors and solar variability. @z1Yj"^Pm
To 62 the question of attribution requires the 63 of more powerful and complex methods,beyond the use of global averages alone. New studies have focused DU>#eR0G
on 64 maps or patterns of temperature change in 65 and in models. Pattern analysis is the climatologically equivalent of the more comprehensive tests in the medical analogy mentioned 66 , and makes it possible to achieve more definitive }Kc03Ue`%e
67 of the observed climate changes to a particular cause or causes. /
MUa
b*h
The expected influence of human activities is thought to be much more complex than uniform warming over the entire surface of the Earth and over the whole 68 cycle. Patterns of change over space and time therefore provide a more powerful 69 technique. The basic idea 70 pattern-based approaches is that different 71 causes of climate change have different characteristic patterns of climate response or fingerprints. Attribution studies seek to 72 a fingerprint match between the patterns of climate change 73 by models and those actually observed. P7
`sJ("#
The most recent assessment of the science suggests that human activities have led to a discernible 74 on global climate and that these activities will have an increasing influence on future climate. The burning of coal, oil and natural gas, as well as various agricultural and industrial practices, are 75 the composition of the atmosphere and contributing to climate change. These human activities have led to increased atmospheric 76 of a number of greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, methane and so on in the lower atmosphere. C:WXI;*cr
Human activities, such as the burning of fossil, have also increased the 77 of small particles in the atmosphere. These particles can change the 78 of energy that is absorbed and reflected by the atmosphere. They are also believed to modify the ic_q<Y}
79 of air and clouds, changing the amount of energy that they absorb and reflect. Intensive studies of the climatic effects of these particles began only recently and the overall 80 is uncertain. It is likely that the net effect of these small particles is to cool the climate and to partially offset the warming of increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases. "0(
