For much of this week, New York has been caught up in an unstoppable heat wave. At times like this, it’s hard not to imagine the worst-case【B1】______. What if the world’s air-conditioners just stopped working? What would we do then?
Air-conditioning has【B2】______the polarity of summer: it has us fleeing inside during hot weather,【B3】______we used to flee outside, which might have been more fun, and was certainly more【B4】______.

Desperate people, unable to【B6】______their apartments, would【B7】______pay a nickel and ride around aimlessly for a couple of hours to cool off." At night, Central Park "was full of hundreds of people who slept on the grass. Babies cried in the darkness, men’s deep voices【B8】______, and a woman let out a(n) 【B9】______high laugh beside the lake." It was still hot in the park, and it was crowded, but the【B10】______of the space made the heat easier to【B11】______.

Iiebling【B15】______how "the dodges for coping with the heat that New Yorkers learned in three centuries of summer have become【B16】______, and in some cases hazardous." New York buildings, Iiebling complained, were now "twenty degrees colder in summer than in winter, when they are【B17】______to the needs of a woman who is going to shed a mink coat the【B18】______she gets inside, and is wearing nothing much underneath it."
Nowadays, air-conditioners are cheap and【B19】______. And yet there are still summer days like these— days when it’s【B20】______hot that the heat is almost all you can think about.
