四、阅读理解
This summer, the temperatures were very high in Europe. Firefighters fought against hundreds of wildfires in many European countries. And hundreds of people died because of the heat wave.
However, according to a survey, only about 20% of homes in Europe have air conditioners, compared to 90% in the US. Why is that?
First, usually it isn’t very hot in Europe in summer because of its location. Europe is located farther north than the US, making the weather cooler. The average(平均的) temperature in July in London is 24℃, which is 10 degrees cooler than that in New York.
Second, there are many old houses in Europe. More than half of the houses in Europe were built in the last century. The weather then was not as hot as it is nowadays. Naturally, air conditioners were unnecessary. What’s more, those old houses’ structure(构造) and material make it harder and more expensive to install air conditioners. Installing an air conditioner could cost more than the air conditioner itself.
As for other reasons, they can be very personal. Some people think air conditioners make them sick, so they don’t accept air conditioners. Some think using air conditioners produces much greenhouse gas. It is bad for the environment and makes the weather even hotter!
But things will probably change in the coming years. With higher and higher temperatures, more and more Europeans are considering air conditioners these days.
