13、e air smells of car exhaust and fast food.Some destruction of farmland is unavoidable when a city expands.

14、alized buildings could extend upwards to avoid unnecessary use of land.Environmentally, commercial expansion is harmful to the land. Besides forms of pollution, wildlife, including both plants and animals, is put at risk. A planning commission could have realized the benefits of environmental protec

15、tion. Why not preserve the beauty and naturalness of the land while at the same time allowing for growth?With a steady growth of population and the need for more homes and more workplaces, many problems arise when planning for the future. The hillsides, fields and animal habitats need to be preserve

16、d while expanding cities. In the future, a world covered with concrete and asphalt (沥青）could become reality.

21、town is less crowded but the weather is still mild.Meanwhile, some safety tips should be followed, enjoying the happiness and excitement the beach offers.The number 1 safety tip concerns ocean safety: pay attention to Flag conditions posted on the lifeguard stands. Lifeguards post a red flag to warn

However, a calm ocean can become risky without warning. Make sure you swim near a lifeguard. Swimming without lifeguard protection is almost five ti

23、mes as great as drowning at a beach with lifeguards.Never swim alone. Many drownings involve single swimmers. When you swim with someone else, if one of you has a problem, the other may be able lo get help, including signaling for assistance from others.Dont fight the current. The facts show that so

24、me 80% of rescues by lifeguards at ocean beaches are caused by currents. These currents are formed by surf and gravity, because once surf pushes water up the slope of a beach, gravity pulls it back. This can create concentrated rivers of water moving offshore. If you arc caught in a rip current, don

Most rip currents arc narrow and a short swim parallel to shore will help bring you to safety.25. When coming to Virginia Beach, children CANNOT enjoy the happiness o

37、e more talkative sex because of a special “ language protein(蛋自成)” in the brain.The study, conducted by neuroscientists (神经学家) and psychologist from the University of Maryland, concluded that women talked more because they had more of the Foxp2 protein.

38、oscience, found that higher levels were found among humans that were women but in rats that were males.

41、st. Tests conducted on the parts of the brain known to be associated with vocal calls showed the male pups have up to twice as much Foxp2 protein as the females.

43、guage in humans.“Based on our observations, we assume higher levels of Foxp2 in girls and higher levels of Foxp2 in male rats is an indication that Foxp2 protein levels are associated with the more communicative sex,” said Prof McCarthy. “Our results imply Foxp2 as a component of the neurobiological

44、 basis of sex differences in vocal communication in mammals.”32. From the second paragraph, we can learn that .A. women always speak more words than menB. men and male rats have low levels of language proteinC. women and male rats have similar levels of Foxp2D.
