Comforting thoughts, perhaps. Unfortunately, however, the Earth has some discomforting news. From Alaska to the snowy peaks of the Andes the world is heating up right now, and fast. Globally, the 6__________ is up 1°F over the past century, but some of the coldest, most remote spots have warmed much more. The results aren't pretty. Ice is 7__________ , rivers are running dry, and coasts are 8__________ , threatening communities.

　　The 9__________ are happening largely out of sight. But they shouldn't be out of mind, because they are omens of what's in store for the 10__________ of the planet.

　　It seems you always forget-your reading glasses when you are rushing to work, your coat when you are going to the cleaners, your credit card when you are shopping...

　　Such absent-mindedness may be 1__________ to you; now British and German scientists are developing memory glasses that record everything the 2__________ sees.

　　The glasses can play back memories later to help the wearer remember things they have forgotten such as where they left their keys. And the glasses also 3__________ the user to "label" items so that information can be used later on. The wearer could walk around an office or a factory identifying certain 4__________ by pointing at them. Objects indicated are then given a 5__________ label on a screen inside the glasses that the user then fills in.

　　It could be used in 6__________ plants by mechanics looking to identify machine parts or by electricians wiring a 7__________ device.

　　A spokesman for the project said: "A car mechanic for 8__________ could find at a glance where a part on a certain car model is so that it can be identified and repaired. For the motorist the system could 9__________ accident black spots or dangers on the road."

　　In other cases the glasses could be worn by people going on a guided tour, 10__________ points of interest or by people looking at panoramas where all the sites could be identified.
