24、3. At the time，the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London. The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages to get through. The city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers
25、to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day.

27、ers (3.7 miles) long. About 30，000 people got on the subway the first day.

However，the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash
28、 and soot(煤灰)， as well as chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe. Even with its problems，riding in the Underground did catch on.

38、parents watch the news or other shows as children play nearby. But new research shows that even when the television is just background noise，it may be disruptive to a childs normal development.Its estimated that 75 percent of very young children in the United States live in homes where the televisio
39、n is on most of the time，even though the kids often arent watching it. The University of Massachusetts researchers recently studied how TV background noise might affect young children. The study looked at 50 1，2and 3yearolds.Each child came to a lab with a parent and was allowed to play for an hour
40、with various toys. For half the time，a television was on in the room，showing the adult game show as well as advertisements. During the other half hour，the TV was turned off.As expected，the children paid little attention to the adult television show，glancing at it for less than a few seconds at a tim
41、e，and less than once a minute. Even so，the distraction (分心) of the background noise had a significant effect on how children at every age played. When the television was on，the children played with each toy for far shorter periods of time，and focused attention during play was also shorter compared t
42、o how they played when the TV was off.Researchers said that even though the children arent interested in the show，background TV affects their ability to do various types of play. The finding is important because many wellmeaning parents who wouldnt let their young children watch television may not r

Do you like yellow, orange, red? 66
47、 . Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect th
