12、 goal of the research was to determine whether individual, school or area characteristics had a specific link to mental disease. Living in a city was associated with a 41 percent higher chance of mental disease compared to rural living. The team gathered data from more than 200, 000 people living in

13、 Sweden. Those individuals were all born between 1972 and 1977.The team analyzed factors related to the individuals, including the schools they attended and the neighborhoodsthey lived in.

Zoos keep animals in smallspaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species name, diet, and the natural range.

21、The animals normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos dont usually take care of the animals naturalneeds.
