31、as not warmed for the past 15 years.The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age as serious as the 70­year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the Thames in the 17th century.Based on readings from more than 30，000 measuring stations, the date was issued last we

32、ek by the Met Office (气象部). It confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997.Meanwhile, leading climate scientists yesterday told The Mail on Sunday that, after giving off unusually high levels of energy throughout the 20th century, the sun is now heading towards a “grand minimu

33、m” in its output, threatening cold summers, bitter winters and a shortening of the season available for growing food.Solar output goes through 11­year cycles, with high numbers of sunspots (黑子) seen at their peak.We are now at what should be the peak of what scientists call “Cycle 24”which is w

34、hy last week's solar storm resulted in sightings of the Aurora Borealis (北极光) further south than usual. But sunspot numbers are running at less than half those seen during cycle peaks in the 20th century.Analysis by experts at NASA and the University of Arizonaobtained from magnetic­field m

35、easurements 120，000 miles beneath the sun's surfacesuggests that “Cycle 25”， whose peak is due in 2022, will be a great deal weaker still.According to a paper issued last week by the Met Office, there is a 92 percent chance that both “Cycle 25” and those taking place in the following decades wil

36、l be as weak as, or weaker than, the “Dalton minimum” of 1790 to 1830. In this period, named after the meteorologist (气象学者) Joh Dalton, average temperatures in parts of Europe fell by 2.However, it is also possible that the new solar energy decline could be as deep as the “Maunder minimum” (named af

37、ter astronomer Edward Maunder), between 1645 and 1715 in the coldest part of the “Little Ice Age” when, as well as the Thames frost fairs, the canals of Holland froze solid.39The new temperature data was produced from _Athe Met OfficeBreadings from measuring stationsCthe analysis by experts at NASA

40、 produce more carbon dioxideDBringing up children is hard work, and you are often to blame for any bad behavior of your children. If so，Judith Rich Harris has good news for you. Parents, she argues, have no important long­term effect on the development of the personality of their children. Far

41、more important are their playground friends and neighborhood. Ms Harris takes to hitting the assumption, which has dominated (支配) developmental psychology for almost half a century.Ms Harris's attack on the developmentalists' “nature” argument looks likely to reinforce(加强) doubts that the pr

42、ofession was already having. If parents matter，why is it that two adopted children，brought up in the same home，are no more similar in personality than two adopted children brought up in separate homes？Or that a pair of identical twins，brought up in the same home，are no more alike than a pair of iden

43、tical twins brought up in different homes?Difficult as it is to track the precise effects of parental upbringing，it may be harder to measure the exact influence of the peer (同龄人) group in childhood and adolescence. Ms Harris points to how children from immigrant homes soon learn not to speak at scho

44、ol in the way their parents speak. But acquiring a language is surely a skill，rather than a characteristic of the sort developmental psychologists hunt for. Certainly it is different from growing up tense or relaxed，or from learning to be honest or hardworking or generous. Easy though it may be to p

45、rove that parents have little influence on those qualities，it will be hard to prove that peers have vastly more.Moreover，mum and dad surely cannot be ditched completely. Young adults may，as Ms Harris argues，be keen to appear like their peers. But even in those early years，parents have the power to o

46、pen doors：they may initially choose the peers with whom their young associate，and pick that influential neighborhood. Moreover，most people suspect that they come to resemble their parents more in middle age，and that people's child bearing habits may be formed partly by what their parents did. So

47、 the balance of influences is probably complicated，as most parents already suspected without being able to demonstrate it scientifically. Even if it turns out that the genes they pass on and the friends their children play with matter as much as affection，discipline and good example，parents are not

48、completely off the hook.43According to Ms Harris, _Aparents are to blame for any bad behavior of their childrenBchildren's personality is shaped mostly by their friends and neighborsCnature rather than upbringing has a significant effect on children's personality developmentDparents will gre

49、atly affect the children's life in the long run44The word “ditched”(Line 1，Paragraph 4)could best be replaced by_Aproved Bemphasized Ccompared Dignored45The developmental psychologists think_Achildren are more influenced by their peersBidentical twins raised in the same home are different in per

51、n.BParents should give their way to children.CParents should spend more time on children.DParents should take on their responsibility.EWe all have some regrets. For NBA superstar LeBron James, the biggest regret might be that he chose to leave the Cavaliers, his club for seven years. In the summer o

52、f 2010 James announced on a TV show that he would be joining the Miami Heat although he had reportedly told the Cavaliers that he would stay with them. James went from hero to villain (坏人) overnight.James admitted that he had been affected by the outburst of hatred from Cavaliers fans. “It turned me

53、 into somebody I wasn't，” he said. “When you start to hear the villain， you have to be the villain. And I started to buy_into it. I started to play the game of basketball in a mind state that I had never played before. I mean angry.”James led the Miami Heat to the NBA Finals in the first year of

54、 the Big 3s formation (组合). But at the last minute they were defeated by the Dallas Mavericks and James' performance was described by many as disappointing.“The best teacher in life is experience and going through things，” James said. “No one can set you up for that. You've got to go through

55、 it.”“I learned a lot from it，” he continued. “I thought about ways to get better individually on and off the court. I'm back this season to a better person and a better basketball player.”James describes family, friends and basketball as the three things that matter most to him in life. “And af

56、ter that, everything else becomes irrelevant，” he said.After emerging (摆脱) from his post­Finals misery, James began showing his personality again.He knew he had to sharpen his own skills. He worked on his lowpost (低位技术) game with Hall of Fame center Hakeem Olajuwon. “For me, it's all about

57、getting back to the love of the game，” James said. “I'm back to loving the game. I'm back to having fun. That's something I forgot about.”We've already started to see that renewed love in action. The Heat got their revenge against the Mavericks in the season opener. James scored 37 points to lead his team to a 105­94 vict
