7、is so stressful that at least two-thirds of those currently living in big cities would like to relocate to the countryside or a small town.The stress of the getting from A to B in big cities is at the top of the list of problems. For many people, the daily commute (通勤) to work is a source of frustra
8、tion. 40% of the people in the survey have suffered from road rage while stuck in traffic on the way to work.The cost of public transport is also a serious problem. Many people think the price of underground and bus travel is too high and that they have to devote more than 10% of their salary to tra
9、nsport costs.The general cost of living in cities is another problem. The high property prices in most big cities put buying a property out of reach of most first-time buyers. Many young people are priced out of the housing market, and have to take in lodgers to make ends meet, or rent over-priced f
10、lats miles away from the city centre. In London, for instance, the price of buying even a one-bedroom flat is so prohibitive that many have given up even considering putting money aside for a deposit.Another issue facing people who live in cities is rising crime. Crime rates have rocketed in many bi
11、g cities, and many say there are several dangerous no-go areas in their city. Fear of crime is on the increase - street crimes, such as mugging and assault, are now very common - and many are afraid of going out at night alone.Many were also concerned by the lack of green spaces and play facilities
12、for children. Most major conurbations (有卫星城的大都市) surveyed have a far smaller number of parks and gardens than a generation ago. Planning permission seems to have been given for an ever-greater number of supermarkets, office developments and apartments on sites where there were previously green space
13、s. Many of the respondents in the survey said they felt stressed and suffocated (窒息) in the city, a problem which is compounded by pollution.And finally, the majority of people in the survey were fed up with the constant noise pollution - the roar of traffic, the sound of loud music blaring (发刺耳声) o
14、ut of a neighbours window, and the constant sound of activity. It is not surprising, then, that the levels of stress-related illnesses among people who live in cities are higher than ever before.Big cities, once a mecca (朝拜的地方) for ambitious people seeking fame and fortune, are now less and less pop

19、ho want to be teachers. Since the 1980s, the number of graduates who say they would “seriously consider” teaching as a career has fallen sharply, from 64% in 1982 to just 17% today. The report suggests that urgent action needs to be taken in order to encourage more intelligent young graduates into t
20、eaching.2) The main drawback of secondary teaching, according to the report, is the low salary. Earnings in teaching are much lower than in many other jobs, and this means that fewer and fewer young people decide to be teachers. Joanne Manners, 24 is a good example. “ I graduated in maths last year,
21、 and I was thinking of doing a teacher training course to become a maths teacherbut when I looked into the details, it became clear that teaching isnt a very lucrative(赚钱的)job these days. I saw I could earn twice as much if I worked in marketing or advertising, and so I decided not to become a teach
22、er.”3) Its not just about the money, however. The survey concluded that another reason why people dont want to be teachers is that some teenagers behave very badly in school. A lot of schools have problems with discipline, and it seems clear that children do not have the same respect for teachers as
23、 in the past. Heres the view of Dave Hallam, an accountant from London:” I think parents are to blame. They should have stricter rules with their children at home and also teach their children to have more respect for teachers.”4) “ It makes me feel so proud.” Says Brian Jones, who works in a second
24、ary school in London. So what does he think the government should do to encourage more people to become teachers?” “My view is that the government should reduce the burden of work on teachers. I find that I always have too much work to do.”5) The report is clear that the problem of teacher shortage
25、is a very serious one. It says that the government should raise teachers pay significantly, to catch up with workers in other professions. It also suggests that the government could launch a nationwide publicity campaign, with some advertisements on TV and in the newspapers, to show the positive sid
26、es of teaching to young people. Another solution could be set a maximum number of hours per week that teachers can work, in order to reduce stress on teachers. “Hopefully,” the report concludes, “these solutions can improve the poor image of secondary teaching, and increase the number of young peopl

Now it is bats. Biologists in America are working hard to discover the cause of the
30、mysterious deaths of tens of thousands of bats in the northeastern part of the country. Most of the bats affected are the common little brown bats ( M/otis Lucifugus), but other species, such as the long-eared bat, the small-footed bat, the eastern pipistrelle, and the Indiana bat have also been aff
31、ected. In some caves, more than 90 percent of the bat populations have died.One possibility is disease. A white fungus (真菌) known as fusarium has been found on the noses of both living and dead bats. However, scientists dont know if the fungus is the primary cause of death, a secondary cause of deat
32、h, or not a cause at all, but the result of some other conditions.Another possible cause is a lack of food. For example, bats typically eat a large number of moths (蛾) , and in some states such as New York, the number of moths has been declining in recent years. If bats cant eat enough food, they st
33、arve to death. till other scientists believe that global warming is to blame. Warmer temperatures in recent years have been waking up hibernating (冬眠) bats earlier than usual. If bats break their hibernation at the wrong time, they might not find their expected food sources. The weather might also t
34、urn cold again and weaken or kill the bats. Scientists might not agree on the causes of the bat die-off, but they do agree on the consequences. Bats are an important predator of mosquitoes; a single brown bat can eat l,000 or more insects in an hour. They also eat beetles and other insects that dama
35、ge plant crops. If there arent enough bats, damage will be great from the insects they eat.While bats live a long time for their size - the little brown bat can live for more than 30 years - a female bat has only one baby per year, so bat populations grow slowly. Many batspecies in the United States
36、 are already protected or endangered.How can you help? Do not disturb sleeping or nesting bats. If you discover bats that seem tobe sick or that are dead, contact your local Fish & Wildlife Department with the details.

41、n specializes in the gift of talking. The nation doesnt manufacture much of anything.But it has lawyers, stylists and business consultants who earn their living from talk, talk and more talk. The World Foundation think tank says the UKs four iconic (标志性的) jobs today are not scientists, engineers, te
42、achers and nurses. Instead, theyre hairdressers, celebrities, management consultants and managers. But can all this talking keep the British economy going? The British government thinks it can.Although the countrys trade deficit was more than $ 60 billion in 2006 , UKs largest in the postwar period,
43、 officials say the country has nothing to worry about. In fact, Britain does have a world-class pharmaceutical (制药lyj) industry, and it still makes a small sum from selling arms abroad.
