20、2Although buses tend to be slower than the subway for traveling around New York City, there are many reasons to use the bus while visiting New York City: They tend to service areas of Manhattan that are not located close to subway lines.

27、ed laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you“re “hot“.

28、 For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening.

Abbreviations are an attempt to commun
37、icate information fast and accurately. But this goal is not always achieved. To many people, particularly to those new to a field, reports and papers sometimes seem to be written in a telegraphic style with abbreviations so interspersed (夹杂) as to make the message almost meaningless.

The provision of this structure is the urbanization process itself. There are five main consequences of this uncont
43、rolled urbanization; firstly, people move from the country to the city because they see the city as a more desirable place to live. Secondly, rural areas have become less populated and this causes a decrease in the production of food. Thirdly, there is a high urban population growth rate. Fourthly,
44、there is a dramatic pressure on the supply of social services, especially those services related to education and health, and finally uncontrolled urbanization leads to an excess of labor supply in the cities. There are a few policies, which could show this kind of uncontrolled urbanization in devel
45、oping countries. A more equal land distribution should be promoted. In this way farmers would be more motivated to stay on the land. Also, the supply of social services in the rural areas has to be improved, particularly in the field of health and education. Most importantly, it is necessary to give
