TEXTO:

  Black is a color that’s prone to absorbing heat
from the sun, so black asphalt that covers a city like
Los Angeles is sure to increase the city’s overall
temperature. Los Angeles is now coating its streets
[5] with a new gray paint called CoolSeal that will, as its
name indicates, keep pavements cooler, resulting in
a 6.6 degrees Celsius drop in temperature.
  Of course, L.A. needs to do more than simply
paint its streets if it wants to impact climate change
[10] and not just mitigate the effects. Additionally, the
state of California has made plans to use 100 percent
renewable energy by 2045 and make its entire energy
grid fossil fuel-free. Within L.A. itself, other measures,
like planting trees, can continue the efforts to make
[15] life a little bit cooler. Painting rooftops with the same
CoolSeal used on the pavement could also go a long
way to improve conditions, provided they’re not
already occupied by solar panels, which are another
positive factor in offsetting fossil fuels.

TEXTO:

  “These days, there’s such a focus on protein and
healthy fats and avoiding carbs at all costs (including
sugar, which is, of course, a carb). However,
carbohydrates are actually good—and necessary!—
[5] if you exercise regularly, particularly for endurance
workouts,” says Melissa Majumdar, who specializes
in sports nutrition.
  Whether you’re eating a complex carb (like
brown rice) or a simple one (the honey on your Greek
[10] yogurt), your body breaks it down into glucose—and
that liquid sugar coursing through your veins is the
preferred fuel source for your muscles (and brain, and
everything else for that matter). “Think of it as the
energy that powers the building,” Majumdar says.
[15] “Your body can use fat and protein as fuel, but they’re
not nearly as efficient and readily available as
carbohydrates.”

TEXTO:

  Dozens of perfectly preserved ancient
shipwrecks have been found at the bottom of the
Black Sea. A total of 60 wrecks were discovered dating
back as far as 2,500 years, including galleys from the
[5] Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires.

  Scientists stumbled upon the graveyard while
using underwater robots to survey the effects of
climate change along the Bulgarian coast. Because
the Black Sea contains almost no light or oxygen, little
[10] life can survive, meaning the wrecks are in excellent
condition.

  Researchers say their discovery is ‘truly
unrivalled’. Many of the ships have features that are
only known from drawings or written description but
[15] never seen until now. Carvings in the wood of some
ships have remained intact for centuries, while
well-preserved rope was found aboard one 2,000-
year-old Roman vessel.
