26、d whilephysical stores struggle. But this can be 42.

27、et has.To begin with, we have changed 44 we shop away from smaller stores like those in malls andtoward stand-alone “ Big Box stores, which is a greater problem for most physical stores.Also, rising income 45 has left less of the nation s money in the hands of the middle class, andtraditional retail

28、 stores that 46 them have suffered. It is estimated that since 1970, the share of the nationincome earned by families in the middle class has fallen from almost two-thirds to around 40 percent. As the47 of income at the top rises, overall retail suffers simply because high-income people save a much

30、of their income.50, as the middle class has been squeezed and more has gone to the top, it has meant higher saving rates overall.Lastly, we have spent 51 less of income on things and more on services with every passing decade.Since 1960, we went from spending 5 percent of our income on health to alm

31、ost 18 percent. We spend more on education, entertainment, business services and all sorts of other products that aren t 52 in traditional retailstores.

50、the U.S. for emergency relief efforts abroad. While we are grateful for the desire to help, UNICEF does not accept non-cash goods. Why?Financial donations are the fastest and most efficient way to provide assistance. Donated goods must be screened, sorted, stored and transported. UNICEF pre-position

55、, working on the Thwaites Glacier, recorded water temperatures at the base of the ice of more than 2 C , above the normal freezing point. Critically, the measurements were taken at the glacier the area where it transforms from resting wholly on bedrock to spreading out on the sea as ice shelves. It

56、is unclear how fast the glacier is getting worse: Studies have forecast its total collapse in a century or in a few decades. The presence of warm water in the grounding line may support estimates at the faster range.That is worthy of attention because the Thwaites, along with the Pine Island Glacier

57、 and several smaller glaciers, acts as a brake on part of the much larger West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which if melted, would raise the world s oceans by more than a meter over centuries, an amount that would put many coastal cities underwater.“Warm wters in this part of the world, as remote as they may seem, should serve as a warning to all of us about the potential terrible changes to the planet brought about by climate change,“ said David Hof New York University s EnvironmentsDyluamics Laboratory.Glaciologists have previously
