高温天气
Heatwaves — Chinese reading, HSK 6

近几年，夏季的高温天气越来越频繁，持续时间也越来越长。去年七月，南方一些城市连续二十多天气温超过四十度，用电量创下了历史纪录。

In recent years summer heatwaves have become more frequent and longer. Last July some southern cities were above forty degrees for over twenty days in a row, and electricity use broke records.
高温首先威胁的是户外工作者和老人。建筑工人、快递员在烈日下工作，很容易中暑；一些老人舍不得开空调，结果引发了心脏方面的疾病。

Heat threatens outdoor workers and the elderly first. Builders and couriers working under the blazing sun easily get heatstroke; some old people can't bear to spend money on air conditioning and end up with heart problems.
对此，各地纷纷出台措施：调整户外作业时间，发放高温补贴，开放“清凉驿站”供市民免费休息。不过从长远看，减少碳排放、减缓气候变暖，才是解决问题的根本。

In response, local governments have introduced measures one after another: adjusting outdoor working hours, paying heat allowances, opening "cool stations" where people can rest for free. In the long run, though, cutting carbon emissions and slowing global warming is the fundamental solution.
