Global climate change resulting from the accumulation of greenhouse gasses, for example,
is likely to have significant health effects, both direct and indirect. An average global
temperature rise of 3-4C, predicted for the year 2100 by the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change, will greatly increase the number of days in the United States with temperatures
over 38C (100F), with a resulting sharp rise in head-related mortality. Deaths would occur
primarily from heat strokes, heart attacks, and cerebral strokes. The very young, poor, and
elderly, as well as those with chronic cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, are most at risk.
During the two-week heat wave of July 1993 in the eastern United States, 84 people died in
Philadelphia alone as a result of the higher temperatures.
2. PROCESS ANALYSIS
There are basically two ways to make a web page. The first way is to create the page(s)
offline and then upload them to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) via FTP. The second way is
to create your web page(S) online using a Telnet program by accessing your UNLX account, if
you have one.
If you are creating your web page(s) offline, do so in any text editing or word processing
document. Make sure that when you save your document, you save it as a “text”, “plain text” or
“text only” document. Otherwise it will not be read properly by a web browser. Once you have
created your page(s), you will need to contact your ISP about how to go about uploading them
to your server.
3. PROBLEM-SOLUTION
Over the centuries, the Chinese created a marvelous history of making silk cloth. Legends
record that about 2640 BC a Chinese Express, Si-Ling-Chi, watched the little silk worms spin
cocoons in the mulberry trees. She unwound one of the threads from a cocoon. It was one very
long strand of shiny thread. Little did she know that silk has the longest strand of any natural
plant or animal fiber. The challenge was to develop some kind of winding devise so that the silk
thread could be made into cloth. No one knows for sure when the Chinese first developed silk
winding machines. However, there is mention of such devices in Chinese dictionaries in the 2 nd
century AD. Actual spinning wheels, however, came much later, perhaps in the 11 th century AD.
Actual spinning wheels, however, came much later, perhaps the 11 th century AD. Even today,
China is the world’s leading producer of quality silk cloth.
4. CAUSE AND EFFECT
An avalanche is a huge snow slide that rushes down the side of a mountain, carrying large trees,
rocks, and other debris in its path. Avalanches are similar to landslides but can be more
dangerous and destructive. Avalanches can occur when huge amounts of new snow fall on
layers of snow and ice that have become unstable because of melting. They can also be
triggered by explosions or earthquakes.
5. CLASSIFICATION
There are many types of stringed instruments. The violin family is made up of the violin, viola,
cello, and double bass. Fretted instruments (frets are strips that show players where to put their
hands) include the banjo, mandolin, lute, ukulele, and guitar. Related to these instruments are
the lyre and the harp. The dulcimer, zither, and psaltery form another family, whose strings are
stretched over flat sound boxes. Finally, there are the keyboard stringed instruments such as the
piano, clavichord, and harpsichord.
6. DESCRIPTION
The dirt of the girls' cotton dresses continued on their legs, feet, arms, and faces to make them
all of a piece. Their greasy uncolored hair hung down, uncombed, with a grim finality. I knelt to
see them better, to remember them for all time. The tears that had slipped down my dress lef
unsurprising dark spots, and made the front yard blurry and even more unreal. The world had
taken a deep breath and was having doubts about continuing to revolve.
7. NARRATION
Before the girls got to the porch, I heard their laughter crackling and popping like pine logs in a
cooking stove. I suppose my lifelong paranoia was born in those cold, molasses-slow minutes.
They came finally to stand on the ground in front of Momma. At first they pretended
seriousness. Then one of them wrapped her right arm in the crook of her lef, pushed out her
mouth and started to hum. I realized that she was aping my grandmother.
