MELTDOWN: THE ALPS UNDER PRESSURE (Excerpt 2)
"High-altitude regions seem to be more sensitive to the climate warming, and the retreat of glaciers is one sign," says
Martin Beniston, a climate specialist at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. "During Roman times it was even warmer than it is
now. From Val-d'Isere to Zermatt, people could cross passes where they go glacier skiing now. But today it's the speed of warming
that concerns us the most. It's very rapid." How rapid? Scientists estimate that the Alps have lost half their glacier ice in the past
century, 20 percent of that since the 1980's; glaciers in Switzerland have lost a fifth of their surface area in the past 15 years.
As temperatures rise, so does the snow line. Sooner or later some ski centers will be stranded, and their towns will shrivel
away. And rockfalls, only an occasional hazard in earlier times, are increasing, endangering communications towers and radio
installations, not to mention the occasional human.
"What if there weren't any more skiing?" I asked Karin Thaler, a university student from Oberndorf, near Kitzbhel in
Austria. She stared at me, thunderstruck. "That would be horrible," she stammered. "Everyone has something to do with skiing. A
winter without tourists? It wouldn't be possible."
This is why the owners of the Pitztal ski resort and other sites are paying serious money to wrap their glaciers (some
$121,000 a year for the Pitztal Glacier alone). They foresee a day when high-altitude glacier ski areas will be the only ones that can
reasonably count on enough snow to stay open.
"We're businessmen," said Willi Krueger of the Pitztal resort, which sits above 9,000 feet. "If I were investing, I wouldn't
invest in any ski area lower than 5,500 feet." Yet ski areas are still being developed throughout the Alps. And with them come roads,
hotels, and ski lifts that can carry 1,800 people an hour.
Then there is the problem of snowfall. Global warming is making the snowfall less predictable. Sometimes there's a lot,
sometimes too little, and it doesn't always come when you call it. Artificial snow is one of those solutions that just creates more
problems. "If a resort wants people skiing in spring, it has to make the snow cover last longer," said Ulrike Petschacher of the World
Wildlife Fund in Innsbruck. "But this damages the plants and disturbs the water cycle."
(By Erla Zwingle, National Geographic, February 2006.)

If the snow cover_________ longer, it_____________ the plants and _____________ the water cycle.

ROBOT WORKER HITS THE TOWN
Office workers, meet the colleague of the future. Asimo, the world's most "human" robot, will start work in May as an
office receptionist in Japan.
2Visitors to 4Honda's Wako building will be greeted by Asimo, which can show 1them to meeting rooms and ..........
them tea and coffee on a tray. With optical and ultrasonic sensors, 3its makers say, it can recognise people and its surrounding
environment, and there are already plans to lease the model out to other users.
Six years in development, Asimo is "able to walk in a smooth fashion which 7closely ........... that of a human being", says
Honda. It has deliberately been designed to be similar in size to a 10-year-old child, so that it is less likely to intimidate people.
8It is also the fastest robot yet. Its ability to run tirelessly would put many people to shame.
Asimo is an acronym for Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility. The robot is 9smaller and 10lighter than earlier
prototypes, but tall enough, its makers say, to reach door knobs, operate switches and perform tasks at tables and benches.
Honda, which is now .......... its efforts on artificial intelligence, says it is aiming to develop a future version of Asimo that will be
able to think for itself. Whether humans will want to work alongside a 6robot 5that might show them up is another matter.

TEXTO PARA AS PRXIMAS 2 QUESTES:

IN CRISES, PEOPLE TEND TO LIVE, OR DIE, TOGETHER
Shankar Vedantam
How the disaster starts does not matter: 1It could be a plane crashing into the World Trade Center, 5it could be the sea
receding rapidly ahead of an advancing tsunami, it could be smoke billowing through a nightclub. Human beings in New York, Sri
Lanka and Rhode Island all do the same thing in such situations. They turn to each other. They talk. 15They hang around, trying to
arrive at a 10shared understanding of what is happening.
16When we look back on such events with the benefit of hindsight, this apparent inactivity can be horrifying. "Get out now!"
we want to scream at those people in the upper stories of the South Tower of the World Trade Center, as 6they 11huddle around
trying to understand what caused an explosion in the North Tower at 8:46 on a Tuesday morning in September. 17"You only have 16
minutes before your exit will be cut off," we want to tell them. "Don't try to understand what is happening. Just go."
2Experts who study disasters are slowly coming to realize that rather than try to change human behavior to adapt to
building codes and workplace rules, it may be necessary to adapt technology and rules to human behavior.
For all the disaster preparations put in place since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the behavior of people confronted with
ambiguous new information remains one of the most serious challenges for disaster planners.
18Computer models 12assume that people will flow out of a building like water, emptying through every possible exit. But
the reality is far different. People talk. They confer. They go back to their desk. They change their mind. They try to exit the building
the way they came in, rather than through the nearest door.
Building engineers at the World Trade Center had estimated that escaping people would move at a rate of more than three
feet per second. On Sept. 11, 2001, said Jason Averill, an engineer at the National Institute for Standards and Technology who studies
human behavior during evacuations, people escaped at only one-fitfh that speed. Although the towers were only one-third to onehalf full, the stairwells were at capacity, he said. 3Had the buildings been full, Averill said, about 14,000 people would probably have
died.
That is because the larger the group, the greater the effort and time needed to build a common understanding of the event
and a consensus about a course of action, said sociologist Benigno E. Aguirre of the University of Delaware. If a single person in a
group does not want to take an alarm seriously, he or she can 13impede the escape of the entire group.
The picture of what happened on Sept. 11 is very different from 14conventional assumptions about crowd behavior, in
7which it is assumed that people would push each other out of the way to save their own lives. In actuality, 4human beings in crisis
behave more nobly - and 8this could also be their undoing. 19People reach out not only to build a shared understanding of the event
but also to help one another. In so doing, they may delay their own escape. This may be why groups often perish or survive together people are unwilling to escape if someone they know and care about is left behind.
This may be why in fire disasters, Aguirre said, entire families often perish. "The most important factor for human beings is
our affinitive behavior," he said. "You love your child and wife and parents; 9that is what makes you human. In conditions of great
danger, many people continue to do that. People will go back into the fire to try to rescue loved ones."
