Although I agree that the town is short of car parks, this idea would be improp
2、er.In the first place, the wood is an area of natural beauty. There are many ancient trees of an unusual kind. I often go there for a picnic or just to relax at weekends. The wood is, without doubt, a natural home for birds, animals and insects. If the trees were cut down, many species would be lost
3、. Furthermore, the wood is right in the centre of a heavily polluted (污染) part of town. The trees help to make the air cleaner.

15、llowing Marco, our guide to experience the festival of Qoyllur Riti which takes place at 4,300 metres in the southern Andes of Peru, a festival which few foreign tourists ever get to see. People were travelling to this festival from all over Peru. Among them there were old men, mothers with small ba
16、bies and children all following the same route. Many of them had horses to carry their food, blankets and tents. Some, like us, had come by bus to Mahuayani, the nearest town, and were walking up from there. We continued climbing for another hour and a half before reaching the Sinakara valley. There
17、 we looked down on a flat plain of open grassland. Right across this flat piece of ground people were putting up tents of blue plastic to protect themselves from the rain. Marco chose a spot to put up our tent. Not far away in an open market, people were buying tiny houses, cars or small pictures sh
18、owing a baby or something else. Marco explained that these represented something the pilgrims (朝圣者) wanted. They would take them and bury them in the mountain. This, they believed, would make sure that what they wished for would come true in the year to come.After dinner we went to bed fully clothed
19、 inside our sleeping bags. We were up early the next morning, the main day of the festival. The ukukus, men wearing black masks (面罩) and bright costumes, had left their tents in the early hours to climb the nearest mountain by the light of the full moon. They stopped to dance from time to time, beli
20、eving this would bring luck to their villages. As they came down, they were joined by groups of dancers in traditional costumes. They performed wherever there was a space.

23、ion in PeruDWhat makes one person have more accidents than another? Most people would say that its to do with taking risks. Take fewer risks and youll have fewer accidents. But is taking risks really a matter of choice?Some experts believe that whether or not you take risks in life has a lot to do w
24、ith your upbringing and, some believe, with your birth order. Parents are often stricter and more careful with their first child, and so first-born children tend to grow up taking fewer risks. Parents are often more relaxed with a second or third child, so these children tend to take more risks.But
25、why do children tend to have more accidents than adults? During childhood the body grows very quickly. There seem to be periods in these years when our brain and body are at different stages of development. Our arms are longer than the brain thinks they are, so we knock things over; our legs are lon
26、ger than the brain believes, so we trip over easily.Besides, the research suggests that the more time a child spends watching TV, the less they are developing their physical co-ordination (协调) skills. It gives the child a false sense of how the world works and of how much danger it contains. If a ch
27、ild doesnt run around a lot, they dont begin to understand that the world is full of physical risk. So, what about adults? Some studies have shown that life in this world is a little difficult for left-handed people. As we know, we live in a right-handed world. Everything from cars to door handles,
28、from childrens toys to engineering tools and equipment is made by right-handed people. Therefore, left-handed children and adults are more likely to have accidents because the modern world is not designed for them.33.
