The continuous presentation of scary stories about global warming in the popular media makes us unnecessarily frightened. Even worse, it【C1】______our kids.
Al Gore famously【C2】______how a sea-level rise of 20 feet would almost completely flood Florida, New York, Holland, and Shanghai, 【C3】______the United Nations says that such a thing will not even happen,【C4】______that sea levels will rise 20 times less than that.
When【C5】______with these exaggerations, some of us say that they are for a good cause, and surely【C6】______is no harm done if the result is that we focus even more on tackling climate change.
This【C7】______is astonishingly wrong. Such exaggerations do plenty of harm. Worrying【C8】______about global warming means that we worry less about other things, where we could do so much more good. We focus,【C9】______, on global warming’s impact on malaria(疟疾)—which will put slightly more people at【C10】______in 100 years—instead of tackling the half a billion people【C11】______from malaria today with prevention and treatment policies that are much cheaper and dramatically more effective than carbon reduction would be.
【C12】______also wears out the public’s willingness to tackle global warming. If the planet is【C13】______, people wonder, why do anything? A record 54% of American voters now believe the news media make global warming appear worse than it really is. A【C14】______of people now believe—incorrectly—that global warming is not even caused by humans.
But the【C15】______cost of exaggeration, I believe, is the unnecessary alarm that it causes—particularly【C16】______children. An article in The Washington Post cited nine-year-old Alyssa, who cries about the possibility of mass animal【C17】______from global warming.
The newspaper also reported that parents are【C18】______"productive" outlets for their eight-year-olds’ obsessions(忧心忡忡)with dying polar bears. They might be better off educating them and letting them know that, contrary【C19】______common belief, the global polar bear population has doubled and perhaps even quadrupled(成为四倍)over the past half-century, to about 22 000.【C20】______diminishing—and eventually disappearing—summer Arctic ice, polar bears will not become extinct.

本句的意思是,有关全球变暖的夸张描述最糟糕的负面影响就在于它给人们,特别是在孩子们当中,造成了不必要的恐慌。介词among意为“在……之中”,符合句意。
