Hot enough for you? Everyone knows that the weather gets hot during the summer, but does it always get this hot? According to a new report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), climate change may play a role in extreme weather events.
NOAA's 2011 State of the Climate report was put together by 378 scientists from 48 countries．They looked at a number of extreme weather
events that happened around the world last year．“2011 will be remembered as a year of extreme events, both in the United States and around the world，” said NOAA's Kathryn d．Sullivan．
The scientists noted that determining the causes of extreme weather is plex．They can't blame any single event on global warming．Rather, the purpose of the NOAA study is to help scientists understand how the probability of extreme weather changes in response to global warming．According to the report, 2011 was the coolest year since xx．But it was still one of the 15 warmest years since records began in the late 1800s．Among the extreme weather events, scientists looked at a record heat wave in Texas．Last year, Texas had the driest seven­month drought ever recorded．NOAA found that the Texas heat wave was 20 times more likely to occur today than 50 years ago.
This year, the U．S．is experiencing extreme weather once again．Last month, 3,215 daily high temperature records were set nationwide．The 12 months ending in May were the warmest 12 continuous months on record in the U．S．．At the end of June, more than 110 million people were living under extreme heat and more than two­thirds of the country was experiencing drought.
“The frequency(频率) of hot days and hot periods has already increased and will increase further，” Michael Oppenheimer, a climate expert and a professor at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School saiD．“What we see now is what global warming really looks like.”
文章大意：科学家推测，全球近几年经历的极端天气有可能跟全球变暖有关。

(xx·湖北) What Theresa Loe is doing proves that a large farm isn't a prerequisite for a modern grow­your­own lifestyle.On a mere 1/10 of an acre in Los
Angeles，Loe and her family grow，can (装罐) and preserve much of the food they consume.
Loe is a master food preserver，gardener and canning expert.She also operates a website，where she shares her tips and recipes，with the goal of demonstrating that everyone has the ability to control what's on their plate.

“I teach people how to live farm­fresh without a farm，”Loe said．Through her website Loe emphasizes that “anybody can do this anywhere.”Got an apartment with a balcony (阳台)？Plant some herbs.A window？Perfect spot for growing.Start with herbs，she remends，because “they're very forgiving.”Just a little of the herbs “can take your regular cooking to a whole new level，”she addeD．“I think it's a great place to start.”Then？Try growing something from a seed，she said，like
a tomato or some teA．

In addition to being more in touch with the food she's eating，another joy es from passing this knowledge and this desire for good food to her children：“In fluencing them and telling them your opinion on not only being careful what we eat but understanding the_bigger_picture，”she said，“that if we don't take care of the earth，no one will.”
