Then accidents may happen at that time. Everyone knows that it takes a longer time for cars to stop when it's 8raining/rainy (rain). So we must be more careful if we want to be 9safe (safety). Remember that everyone 10has (have) only one life, so we must protect ourselves well.

D 【点拨】根据“Making the changes necessary to stop major influences will take a long time”可推知，应对气候变化带来的危机还有很长的路要走。故选 D。 3. A 【点拨】根据第二段可知，洪水、干旱等极端天气带来了损失，人类没有做好准备应对各种各样的极端情况，所以极端天气对自然、人类和社会是一种“威胁”，故“threat”在这里的意思是“威胁”。故选 A。
