3 . Record-breaking. Abnormal. Dangerous. That’s how the National Weather Service described the heat wave hitting much of North America.
The heat wave has already broken all-time high temperature records in places unaccustomed to such extreme heat. For example, Oregon’s capital city, Salem, recorded the highest temperature in its history on Sunday: 130F, breaking the old mark by 4 degrees. The temperature hit 104F in Seattle. It was an all-time record for the city better known for rain than heat and was the first time the area reached such a high temperature since records began being kept in 1894.
Weather forecasters said the heat wave was caused by an extended “heat dome”which allowed hot air from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic to stream northward over much of North America.
This current heat wave was yet more evidence of the impact of human-caused climate change. “When it comes to record-breaking heat events, the study has been run for event after event in region after region in year after year. And the answer is almost always the same,” said Kristie Ebi, a professor at the University of Washington “The days-long heat wave is a taste of the future as climate change reshapes global weather patterns.”
“Another aspect that we see connected to climate change but that we don’t hear about as much is the fact that there is also a lot more water in the atmosphere now. As we warm the oceans and warm the air, there is more evaporation（蒸发）and that wetter air makes us feel hotter,” added weather forecaster, Jennifer Francis. “A combination of high temperature and moisture（湿度）in the air means dangerous conditions for the young, elderly or others who are not healthy. Please drink plenty of water; stay out of the sun and in air-conditioned rooms.”

5 . “My mom found a house for us to look at.” said my fiancé (未婚夫), Jon. “It’s in Richfield, not far from where I grew up.”
“Wow, that’s great!” I said. “Maybe this will be the one.”
Jon and I had been searching for our first home for months. Nothing seemed right. The listings in Richfield had been off the mark. But if my soon-to-be mother-in-law, Ruthann, had come across a house for us to look at. I was going to check it out.
I hadn’t known much about Ruthann. Her beloved grandmother, Nana, had recently passed away, and she was in grief(悲痛). Nana had been the heart of the family, and Ruthann had been especially close to her. I regretted not getting to meet Nana. I felt I was struggling to find my footing with my future in-laws. So, I would do whatever I could to draw us closer.
The next day, Jon and I drove over for the viewing. I was pleasantly surprised–the house Ruthann picked looked fantastic. My hopes rose as Jon and I walked into the dining room, which had an ivy(常春藤)wallpaper border, It perfectly matched the pretty set of ivy plates I’d been storing away. I knew we found our home.
We bought the house and got married. When it was time to move. both of our families helped out. I set a few things on the shelves in the dining room, leaving a large space in the center for my ivy plates. Ruthann walked in as I was carefully lifting the plates out.
“Where did you get those?” she asked.
“I bought them a long time ago,” I said proudly, happy that my mother-in-law seemed to like them.
Ruthann sat down, shaking her head in disbelief. “Sandy, you don’t understand…Those dishes have the same pattern as the dishes Nana had in her house. So many family gatherings and special occasions happened with those plates…” she smiled. “We sold them along with the other items in the house. Now here you are, with a matching set you bought years ago…”
I suddenly realized I needn’t have worried about fitting in with Jon’s family.

6 . The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A.D., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world’s best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome’s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.
These days, safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a good view and comfortable seat — tend to keep stadium capacities (容量) slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
