27、hand. Everyone complains about being stuck in traffic; but, like the weather, no one seems to do anything about it. In particular, traffic engineers, transportation planners, and public officials responsible for transportation systems in large cities are frequently criticized for failing to solve tr
28、affic jamBut is traffic jam a sign of failure? Long queues at restaurants or theater box offices are seen as signs of success. Should transportation systems be viewed any differently? I think we should recognize that traffic jam is an unpreventable by-product of successful cities, and view the “traf
29、fic problem” in a different light. Cities exist because they promote social interactions and economic transactions.Traffic jam occurs where there are lots of people but limited spaces. Culturally and economically successful cities have the worst traffic problems, while decaying cities dont have much
30、 traffic. New York and Los Angeles are Americas most crowded cities. But if you want access to major brokerage houses (经纪行), you will find them easier to reach in crowded New York than in any other large cities. And if your firm needs access to post-production film editors or satellite-guidance engi
31、neers, you will reach them more quickly through the crowded freeways of LA than through less crowded roads elsewhere. Despite traffic jam, a larger number and wider variety of social interactions and economic transactions can be made perfect in large, crowded cities than elsewhere. Seen in this sigh
32、t, traffic jam is an unfortunate consequence of prosperity, not a cause of economic decline and urban decay.So while we can consider traffic jam as increasing costs on the areas of big cities, the costs of inaccessibility (交通不便) in uncrowded places are almost certainly greater. There is no doubt tha
33、t traffic jam brings the terrible economic and environmental damage in places like Bangkok, Jakarta, and Lagos. But mobility is far higher and traffic jam levels are far lower here in the US, even in our most crowded cities. Thats why, for now, we dont see people and capital streaming out of San Fra
34、ncisco and Chicago, heading for cities like California, and Illinois.56. We can conclude from the first paragraph that_. A. traffic jam and weather are the two factors preventing the development of the big city B. traffic jam seems to be very difficult to deal with C. if traffic engineers try their
35、best, traffic jam can be solved D. public officials are always criticized for misusing their power 57. According to the passage, whats the authors opinion towards traffic jam？A. Traffic jam is unavoidable in any cities.B. Traffic jam is both a sign of failure and a sign of success.C. Traffic jam is
36、one of the consequences of successful cities. D. Traffic jam is a cause of economic decline. 58. By saying “decaying” (in Para. 4), the writer probably means_. A. declining B. developing C. rich and successful D. strong and healthy59. According to this article, which statement about “New York” and “

It is easier to reach major brokerage houses in the two cities than in other cities. D. Despite the traffic jam in LA, youll find a satellite-guidan

42、riculture vs globalized and industrialized agriculture Each has been strongly supported and severely criticized, but neither of these models, standing alone, can fully meet our needsOrganic agriculture teaches us important lessons about soils, nutrition and pest management Unfortunately, organic foo

49、earch his apartment. He also knew how police think. So, he did not hide the letter where he knew they would look for it.“Do you remember how Germont laughed when I said the mystery was difficult for him to solve because it was so simple?”Dupin filled his pipe with tobacco and lit it. “Well, the more
50、 I thought about it, the more I realized the police could not find the letter because DArcy had not hidden it at all.“So I went to visit DArcy in his apartment. I took a pair of dark green eyeglasses with me. I explained to him that I was having trouble with my eyes and needed to wear the dark glass
51、es at all times. He believed me. The glasses permitted me to look around the apartment while I seemed only to be talking to him.“I paid special attention to a large desk where there were a lot of papers and books. However, I saw nothing suspicious there. After a few minutes, however, I noticed a sma
52、ll shelf over the fireplace. A few postcards and a letter were lying on the shelf.

It must be, even though it was completely different from the one Germont had described.“This letter h
53、ad a large green stamp on it. The address was written in small letters in blue ink. I memorized every detail of the letter while I talked to DArcy. Then when he was not looking, I dropped one of my gloves on the floor under my chair.“The next morning, I stopped at his apartment to look for my glove.
54、 While we were talking, we heard people shouting in the street. DArcy went to the window and looked out. Quickly, I stepped to the shelf and put the letter in my pocket. Then I replaced it with a letter that looked exactly like it, which I had made it the night before.“The trouble in the street was
55、caused by a man who had almost been run over by a horse and carriage. He was not hurt. And soon the crowd of people went away. When it was over, DArcy came away from the window. I said goodbye and left.“The man who almost had an accident was one of my servants(雇员). I had paid him to create the incid
56、ent.”Dupin stopped talking to light his pipe. I did not understand. “But, Dupin,” I said, “why did you go to the trouble of replacing the letter? Why not just take it and leave?”Dupin smiled. “DArcy is a dangerous man,” he said. “And he has many loyal servants. If I had taken the letter, I might nev

60、the year ahead, many who were recently laid off or are facing layoffs are looking for a more immediate solution, such as a new job. But, according to Josh Klapow, clinical psychologist at the University of Alabama Birmingham School of Public Health, a clear mind is the first step to finding a new jo
61、b.“After a job loss, a persons memory and concentration can be weakened. Within the first 24 hours of being laid off, the best thing to do is doing nothing,” said Klapow. “I encourage people to just cool it.”According to Klapow, many people tend to over-think their situation, which may lead to anxie
62、ty, and difficult sleeping and concentrating. Instead of letting your thoughts race, Klapow suggests writing a list of tasks.“Write down everything you think you may need to do, then make a list,” he said. “It gets your thoughts out of your head and onto a piece of paper.”Once your mind is clear, an
63、d the list is in front of you, you can start from the top and do one thing at a time, he said.Not having to prepare for work in the morning may no longer be an excuse to watch the morning hours tick away from under the covers.Staying in bed allows anxiety and guilt to build up within oneself, he sai
64、d. Getting a start to the day keeps away the negative thoughts associated with losing a job, and allows you to work on applying of other positions and getting things done.Getting up early may not seem appealing if there isnt much to do. Taking part in activities or taking on projects that would have
65、 previously cut into work hours is a good way to stay positive.Activities can include exercising, volunteering, or attending career fairs. These can not only improve your emotional well-being, but also help you discover opportunities you may not have found if you stayed at home.“We have the tendency
66、 to think of problems as permanent, but they always get resolved in the end,” said Klapow. “The important thing is for a person not to go downhill and stay there.”Laughter is the best medicine, as the saying goes. And although laughter may not bring a nation out of a recession(经济衰退), it can bring ab
