Impact of Climate Change on Firefighting
Extends Beyond Wildfires
Global warming is often mentioned as a factor in the
accelerating frequency and intensity of wildfires. However, there
are other consequences of global warming that impact the fire
service, including new hazards and medical emergencies,
emerging training challenges, population migration, and
technology developments.
Climate change is often discussed as a future event. However,
the impact of wildfires is just the most obvious example of how
climate change is already impacting the world, and fire and
emergency personnel will be called on to mitigate the effects.
The most obvious and extreme impact of global warming can
be seen in the increase of frequency and intensity of wildfires.
Hotter and drier weather is extending the wildfire season (maybe
to become year-round?). Higher temperatures, low humidity, less
rainfall, and high wind increase the likelihood of wildfires.

Text 1A2-II
Chagas disease, also known as American trypanosomiasis, is
a potentially life-threatening illness caused by the protozoan
parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. About 6-7 million people worldwide
are estimated to be infected with T. cruzi. The disease is found
mainly in endemic areas of 21 continental Latin American
countries, where it has been mostly transmitted to humans and
other mammals by contact with feces or urine of triatomine bugs
(vector-borne), known as kissing bugs, among many other
popular names, depending on the geographical area.
Chagas disease is named after Carlos Ribeiro Justiniano
Chagas, a Brazilian physician and researcher who discovered the
disease in 1909. Chagas disease was once entirely confined to
continental rural areas of the Region of the Americas (excluding
the Caribbean islands). Due to increased population mobility
over previous decades, most infected people now live in urban
settings and the infection has been increasingly detected in the
United States of America, Canada, and many European and some
African, Eastern Mediterranean and Western Pacific countries.
Chagas disease’s transmission is caused by T. cruzi
parasites, which are mainly transmitted by contact with
feces/urine of infected blood-sucking triatomine bugs. Normally
they hide during the day and become active at night when they
feed on animal blood, including human blood. They usually bite
an exposed area of skin such as the face (hence its common
name, kissing bug), and the bug defecates or urinates close to the
bite. The parasites enter the body when the person instinctively
smears the bug’s feces or urine into the bite, other skin breaks,
the eyes, or the mouth. T. cruzi can also be transmitted by
consumption of food or beverages contaminated with T. cruzi
through, for example, contact with feces or urine of infected
triatomine bugs or common opossums. This kind of transmission
typically causes outbreaks with more severe cases and mortality;
passage from an infected mother to her newborn during
pregnancy or childbirth; blood or blood product transfusion from
infected donors; some organ transplants using organs from
infected donors; and laboratory accidents.
Internet: <who.int> (adapted).
Regarding the transmission of Chagas disease, according to text
1A2-II, judge the following items.
I Blood product transfusion from infected donors can transmit the disease.
II The also called kissing bug’s feces and urine carry the protozoan parasite.
III Infected pregnant women cannot contaminate their babies during pregnancy or childbirth.
IV Contaminated food or drinks can transmit Chagas disease to people.
Choose the correct option.
I Blood product transfusion from infected donors can transmit the disease.
II The also called kissing bug’s feces and urine carry the protozoan parasite.
III Infected pregnant women cannot contaminate their babies during pregnancy or childbirth.
IV Contaminated food or drinks can transmit Chagas disease to people.

Text 1A2-I
In 2020, the state of California experienced its worst
wildfire season on record, with the Bay Area fire becoming one
of the largest wildfires in American history. By the end of the
year, the state recorded more than 8,600 blazes that burned down
over 4 million acres of land, accounting for more than 4% of the
state’s total land area.
California is known for its wildfire seasons, which usually
take place between late summer and early autumn, though they
have been getting significantly more intense, destructive, and
longer in the past two decades. At least one-third of the worst
wildfires in USA (United States of America) history occurred in
California. But what causes California such susceptibility to
wildfires in the first place and what is causing the exacerbation
of it?
Wildfires can occur naturally and as a result of human
activity, but three elements must be present for a wildfire to start.
Fuel: Any flammable material surrounding a fire, which can
come in the form of live or dead trees, dry vegetation, and other
organic matter; Air: An abundance of oxygen supply. Heat
sources: to ignite and burn the fuel. This could take the form of
lightning strikes or human sources such as campfires or
cigarettes.
Natural wildfires, which are classified as natural disasters
by the Environmental Protection Agency, can start during low
precipitation, dry weather and droughts. During these conditions,
dry vegetation becomes the perfect fuel for wildfires and when
lightning strikes, it ignites a fire that can spread rapidly with the
aid of strong winds and elevated temperatures.

Why NASA spacesuits are white
What do Neil Armstrong, Ed White, and today's ISS (International Space Station) astronauts have in
common? They all wore a white spacesuit. And they're not alone. Beyond NASA, space programs in countries
like Russia and China also use white suits. Not the colors of the Russian flag or China's iconic yellow and red,
just white. That basic color has saved countless astronaut lives. NASA didn't always have white spacesuits.
Their very first manned spaceflight featured silver suits, but none of those astronauts actually explored the
vacuum of space. And that's the key because out there, spacesuits have to be highly reflective. And the best
color for that isn't silver, it's white.
Here on Earth, our atmosphere shields us from 77% of the sun's radiation. But astronauts in space don't
have that natural shield, which makes them vulnerable to blistering temperatures, severe sunburn, and even
cancer-causing cell damage. So to combat that, they wear white suits that reflect the sun's harmful radiation.
But those white EVA (extra-vehicular activity) suits aren't the only garment in an astronaut's closet. When
heading into space or coming home, NASA astronauts wear a bright orange suit because that loud orange
stands out against the blue ocean and sky and is perfect for attracting attention, so if there's a malfunction during
landing and astronauts have to abandon ship, so to speak, they need to be easy to spot for rescue crews.
That being said, times are changing. Nowadays we have more sophisticated ways of locating astronauts
in need of rescue, like GPS trackers and transponders, so space agencies are now free to get creative with their
color choices. NASA and other programs are already starting to use other colors like deep blue and mustard
yellow. And in the future, they could look a lot different because NASA is heading to Mars. It will be the longest
crewed space mission to date, taking as long as three years from start to finish, and during that time, astronauts
could suffer from boredom or depression. That's where colorful spacesuits could be useful.

(CNN) - A couple abandoned their baby at an airport check-in desk in Tel Aviv, Israel after
arriving without a ticket for the child. The pair, who have not been identified, were checking in for a
Ryanair flight from Ben Gurion International Airport to Brussels, Belgium on Tuesday with the
infant. It emerged that the baby did not have a ticket, and the couple headed off to board the flight -
leaving their child behind on the airline check-in counter.
"The matter was referred to police", a spokeswoman for Ryanair told CNN in an email. She
said: "These passengers traveling from Tel Aviv to Brussels presented at check-in without a
booking for their infant. They then proceeded to security leaving the infant behind at check-in. The
check-in agent at Ben Gurion Airport contacted Airport Security, who retrieved these passengers,
and this is now a matter for local police."
According to Ryanair's website, "infants can be included in a flight reservation during the
online booking process." When making plans to travel with an infant, a pop-up message appears
on the site stating that there is a €25 ($27) charge - or the local currency equivalent - for each
one-way flight the baby takes while sitting on an adult's lap. A seat must be paid for by separate
arrangement if the adults want the baby to travel in a car seat.
The Israeli Airport Authority confirmed the episode to CNN and said in a statement: "A couple
and an infant with Belgian passports arrived for a flight at Terminal 1 without a ticket for the baby.
The couple also arrived late for the flight, once the check-in for the flight was closed. The couple
left the infant seat with the baby and ran toward the security checks at Terminal 1 in an attempt to
reach the boarding gate for the flight."
A spokesman for Israel Police told CNN in a phone call that the matter appeared to have
been resolved by the time police arrived on the scene. He said: "The baby was with the parents
and there's no further investigation."

Identical twins go on separate vegan and meat diets to see difference they make to body
In 2021, a set of identical twins took part in an experiment that involved one going vegan
while the other consumed meat to see which of these two diets is (1) ________. The diets are
complete polar opposites, but which one is being (2) ________ to your body?
Well, explorers Hugo and Ross Turner decided to put the plant-based and omnivore diets to
the test to see which was better - with Hugo ditching meat and dairy and Ross sticking to a diet
that included meat, dairy and fish. The twins took part in the Kings College London study over a
12-week period (3) ________ the same number of calories each day as well as carrying out the same
gym training.
Hugo admitted that the switch to a plant-based diet hadn't been easy, but he eventually
ended up feeling more energetic. "I was on the vegan diet and it really does take a hit on your
body. I was now having to eat fruit and nuts and alternatives that didn't have any dairy in them -
and so that meant I was eating a lot more wholesome food, which meant that my sugar levels were
a lot satiated during the day. I felt like I had more energy."
On the other hand, Ross' meat-eating journey was a little different. As he said, his gym
performance was 'up and down a little bit more'. He added that on some days of the challenge he
felt 'very energetic' and on others he would have 'huge lulls'.
By the end of the 12-week study, the men found that the differences between the two diets
weren't very significant, after all.
Adapted from https://www.ladbible.com/community/twins-vegan-meat-diet-233165-20230217

Identical twins go on separate vegan and meat diets to see difference they make to body
In 2021, a set of identical twins took part in an experiment that involved one going vegan
while the other consumed meat to see which of these two diets is (1) ________. The diets are
complete polar opposites, but which one is being (2) ________ to your body?
Well, explorers Hugo and Ross Turner decided to put the plant-based and omnivore diets to
the test to see which was better - with Hugo ditching meat and dairy and Ross sticking to a diet
that included meat, dairy and fish. The twins took part in the Kings College London study over a
12-week period (3) ________ the same number of calories each day as well as carrying out the same
gym training.
Hugo admitted that the switch to a plant-based diet hadn't been easy, but he eventually
ended up feeling more energetic. "I was on the vegan diet and it really does take a hit on your
body. I was now having to eat fruit and nuts and alternatives that didn't have any dairy in them -
and so that meant I was eating a lot more wholesome food, which meant that my sugar levels were
a lot satiated during the day. I felt like I had more energy."
On the other hand, Ross' meat-eating journey was a little different. As he said, his gym
performance was 'up and down a little bit more'. He added that on some days of the challenge he
felt 'very energetic' and on others he would have 'huge lulls'.
By the end of the 12-week study, the men found that the differences between the two diets
weren't very significant, after all.

In the summer of 1944, the popular comedian and radio personality Bob Hope began another of
his famous tours of military camps for the United Service Organizations (USO). This particular tour
made stops in Hawaii and on small islands all across the Pacific theater, where Hope and his troupe
performed 150 shows in two months. American military personnel loved the shows. Hope's jokes and
silly stunts made them laugh and took their minds away from the war for a few minutes. Entertainment
gave them something to fight for.
Military commanders in all wars throughout history have understood that morale is essential to a
force's willingness to fight and endure hardship. While good morale depends (1) ________ many things,
including good leadership, clear purposes and good food, entertainment played a crucial role in the
morale of American military forces during World War II (WWII). Entertainment also served particular
purposes for different constituent groups. Of course, entertainment gave servicemen a break from the
stresses and the boredom of war. Radio programs, movie showings, USO shows, and visits from Red
Cross women serving donuts all allowed soldiers to think (2) ________ something besides the war,
relax and even to laugh.

At the beginning of March 1898, a Belgian research
ship became stuck in the ice of Antarctica’s Bellingshausen
sea. The Belgica ship and its crew — which included Roald
Amundsen, who later became the first man to reach the
South Pole — remained there for a year. Scientists aboard
Polarstern, a German research ship currently in the same
place, have a very different view: in the beginning of February
2023, the expedition leader said he had never seen the sea so
destituted of ice. In 2023, on February 13th, sea ice across the
Antarctic as a whole reached 1.91 million square kilometres
(m km2
), the lowest level since satellite records began in 1979.
The world is now, on average, 1.0-1.3 ºC hotter than it
was before the Industrial Revolution. However, that change
has not occurred evenly: the poles are warming faster than
regions in the middle of the globe.
Sea-ice extent around Antarctica was relatively stable
until 2014. It has been declining sharply since then. One study
by a climatologist at America’s National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA) considers that between 2014
and 2017 Antarctic sea ice receded three times as quickly as
during any comparable period in the Arctic. Antarctic sea ice
shrinks to a minimum during late February and early March,
during the southern hemisphere’s summer. It hit record lows
in 2022 and again now in 2023.
These changes have prompted much research into how
global warming is affecting Antarctica. The biggest concern is
over the enormous West Antarctic ice sheet, which is smaller
but less stable than its eastern counterpart. Scientists say that
it risks collapse if it melts beyond a certain point, which could
result in a global sea-level rise of up to three metres. It is
unlikely to happen any time soon, but increasing evidence of
instability in Antarctica’s ice sheets is cause for concern.
