┌A Chinese and American team at the International Rice Research Institute Farm in the Philippines studied temperature and growth patterns for 12 years. Their just-of the world's number one food crop, rice. The study's co-author, professor Kenneth Cassman adds, "The increase in temperature was three-fold greater at night than during the day. Hot nights apparently force rice plants to use more energy to breathe and less to grow." The study predicts global warming will make it increasingly difficult to feed the Earth's growing population. And night-time temperatures will continue to rise faster than during the day. The most dramatic effects would be in tropical climates, where normally high temperatures limit rice yields. Even a slight increase in temperature could carry a heavy cost, causing further food shortages in already hungry parts of the world┘

┌Salespeople who want to increase their sales may make promises which the company's production and accounting departments find difficult to support. Production, for example, may not be able to meet the sales department's schedule because purchasing didn't get raw materials in time. While salespeople might like to have large inventories available, production and finance are likely to resist building up stocks because of the high cost of storing unsold goods. Also, if production is in the middle of union negotiations, it is likely to feel they are more important than anything else. At the same time, however, salespeople may feel that nothing is more urgent than increasing sales.┘

So astronauts have to exercise in space to keep their hearts strong. ③ An astronaut's brain is also affected by space travel. ④ One astronaut, just after landing back on earth, could not lift a light camera because his brain thought he was still weightless in space and sent the wrong message to the muscles. ⑤ Therefore, space travel will be possible when we can say there is nothing in space that causes any disease.┘
