1、期末复习作业第三期一、阅读理解 、A篇A new report says living in a city makes it harder for people to concentrate(集中) on some tasks. The research found that people who live in rural areas can focus better than people in urban areas. The study is from Goldsmiths College, which is part of the University of London. Head
2、 researcher Dr Karina Linnell and her team made great contributions. They studied how two groups of people did the same “thinking tasks”. The team went to a remote(偏远的) part of Namibia, southwest Africa, to study the Himba tribe. Himba people live a very basic life in the desert. They are still doin
3、g traditional farming. The team also studied members of the same tribe who had moved to the nearest town.

4、he way companies operate. In the future, workers may move from cities to live and work in the countryside.

But these organisms are the food of fish and birds and other creatures. When this food
