单选题How much living space does a person need? What happens when his space needs are not met? Scientists are making experiments on rats to try to determine the efforts of over crowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behaviour of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have enough living space, they eat well, sleep well and produce their young well. But if their living conditions become too crowded, their behaviour and even their health change obviously. They can"t sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and worry become clear. The more crowded they are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus, for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is enough space not only satisfactory, but necessary for human survival?

单选题Urban life has always involved a balancing of opportunities and rewards against dangers and stress; its motivating force is, in the broadest sense, money. The presence of huge numbers of people inevitably involves more conflict, more traveling, the overloading of public services and exposure to those deviants and criminals who are drawn to the rich pickings of great cities.
As a defense against these developments, city dwellers tend to use various strategies to try and reduce the pressures upon themselves; contacts with other people are generally made brief and impersonal; doors are kept locked and so on. There are other strategies, too, which are positively harmful to the individuals, for example, reducing awareness through drags or alcohol. Furthermore, all these defensive forms of behavior are harmful to society in general. Lack of informal social contact and indifference to the misfortunes of others, are amongst the major causes of urban crime.
Present day architecture and planning have enormously worsened the human problems of urban life. People have been forced to leave their familiar homes, usually to be rehoused in tower blocks which are inconvenient. This destruction of established social structures is the worst possible approach to the difficulties of living in a town or city. Instead, every effort should be made to conserve the human scale of the environment, and to retain familiar landmarks.

单选题Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California's Santa Arm Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn't reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured I'd just head east. A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going. "Four more lights," she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night. She dropped me off at the end of hex route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a Very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield(挡风玻璃). It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver. "I just can't leave you here," she said. "This isn't the nicest place. I'll give you a ride home." "You'll drive me home on the bus?" I asked, perplexed(困惑的). "No, I'll take you in my car," she said. "It's a long way," I protested(抗议,反对). "Come on," she said. "I have nothing else to do." As we drove from the station in her ear, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. "I'm just passing the favor along," she said. When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldn't hear of it. "That wouldn't make it a favor," she said. "Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it along./

单选题There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals. Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, our long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.
The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-range goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.
Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.
