Humans have altered the world's climate by (1)_____ heat-trapping gases since almost the beginning of civilization and even prevented the start of an ice age several thousand years ago, a scientist said.
Most scientists (2)_____ a rise (3)_____ global temperatures over the past century (4)_____ to emissions of carbon dioxide (5)_____ human activities like driving cars and operating factories.
Dr. William Ruddiman, a professor at the University of Virginia, said at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union (6)_____ humans' effect (7)_____ climate went back nearly 10, 000 years (8)_____ people gave up hunting and gathering and began farming.
In a commentary accompanying the article, Dr. Thomas J. Crowley of Duke University, said he (9)_____ Dr. Ruddiman's premise at first. "But when I started reading, Dr. Crowley wrote, "I could not help but (10)_____ whether he just might be (11)_____ something."
The climate of the last 10,000 years has been unusually stable, (12)_____ civilization to flourish. But that is only because people chopped down swaths of forest in Europe, China and India for croplands and pastures. Carbon dioxide (13)_____ by the destruction of the forests, plus methane, another heat-trapping gas, (14)_____ by irrigated rice fields in Southeast Asia, trapped enough heat to (15)_____ an expected natural cooling.
Levels of carbon dioxide and methane rise and fall in natural cycles (16)_____ thousands of years, and both reached a peak at the end of the last ice age 11;000 years ago. Both then declined (17)_____ expected.
Both (18)_____ declining through the present day, leading to lower temperatures, and a new ice age should have begun 4,000 to 5,000 years ago, Dr. Ruddiman said. Instead, levels of carbon dioxide reversed 8,000 wears ago. The decline (19)_____ methane levels reversed 5,000 years ago, (20)_____ with the advent of irrigation rice farming.

The question is no mere academic one. The ease, for example, with which people can change from working in the day to winking at night is a question of growing importance in industry where automation calls for round-the-clock working of machines. It normally takes from five days to one week for a person to adapt to a reversed routine of sleep end wakefulness, sleeping during the day end working at night. Unfortunately, it is often the case in industry that shifts are changed every week; a person may work from 12 midnight to 8 a.m. one week, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. the next, and 4 p. m. to 12 midnight the third and so on. This means that no sooner bas he got used to one routine than he has to change to another, so that much of his time is spent neither working nor sleeping very efficiently.
The only real solution appears to be to hand over the night shift to a number of permanent night workers. An interesting study of the domestic life and health of night-shift workers was carried out by Brown in 1957. She found a high incidence of disturbed sleep and other disorders among those on alternating day and night shifts, but no abnormal occurrence of these phenomena among those on permanent night work.
This latter system then appears to be the best long-term policy, but meanwhile something may be done to relieve the strains of alternate day and night work by selecting those people who can adapt most quickly to the changes of routine. One way of' knowing when a person has adapted is by measuring his body temperature. People engaged in normal daytime work will have a high temperature during the hours of wakefulness and a low one at night; when they change to night work the pattern will only gradually go back to match the new routine and the speed with which it does so parallels, broadly speaking, the adaptation of the body as a whole, particularly in terms of performance. There from, by taking body temperature at intervals of two hours throughout the period of wakefulness it can be seen how quickly a person can adapt to a reversed routine, and this could be used as a basis for selection. So far, however, such a form. of selection does not seem to have been applied in practice.
Why is the question of "how easily people can get used to working at night?" not a mere academic question?
A.Because few people like to reverse the cycle of sleep aud wakefulness.
B.Because sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness.
C.Because people are required to work at night in some fields of industry.
D.Because shift work in industry requires people to change their sleeping habits.
