The city has always been an engine of intellectual life, from the 18th-century cafes of Lo

ndon, where citizens gathered to discuss chemistry and politics, to the Left Bank bars of modern Paris, where Picasso talked about modern art．Without the metropolis, we might not have had the great art of Shakespeare.

And yet, city life isn't easy．Now scientists have begun to examine how the city affects the brain, and the results are depressing．Just being in an urban environment, they have found, impairs(损害)our basic mental processes．(79) After spending a few minutes on a crowded city street, the brain is less able to hold things in memory, and suffers from reduced self-control．While it's long been recognized that city life is exhausting, this new research suggests that citied actually dull our thinking, sometimes dramatically so.

One of the main forces at work is a complete lack of nature, which is surprisingly beneficial for the brain．Studies have demonstrated, for instance, that hospital patients recover more quickly when they can see trees from their windows, and that women living in public housing are better able to focus when their apartments overlook a lawn．Even these glimpses of nature improve brain performance, it seems, because they provide a mental break from the urban life.

This research arrives just as humans cross an important milestone(里程碑)．For the first time in history, the majority of people live in cities．Instead of inhabiting wide-open spaces, we're crowded into concrete jungles, surrounded by traffic and millions of strangers．In recent years, it's become clear that such unnatural surroundings have important implications for our mental and physical health, and can powerfully alter how we think.

This research is also leading some scientists to dabble(涉足) in urban design, as they look for ways to make the city less damaging to the brain．(80) The good news is that even slight alterations, such as planting more trees in the inner city or creating urban parks with a greater variety of plants, can significantly reduce the negative side effects of city life．The mind needs nature, and even a little bit can be a big help.

Which of the following is the main idea of this passage？

A．The city inspires talented people.

B．The city hurts your brain.

C．The city has many pleasures and benefits.

D．The city seriously affects the natural balance.

On September 13, the New York City Health Department became the first in the nation to ban

the sale of sugared beverages larger than 16 oz. at restaurants, mobile food carts, sports arenas and movie theaters. Supermarkets and convenience stores would be exceptions to the law, however. The ban on large drinks was championed by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has a reputation for taking aggressive steps to improve city residents health. Often criticized for creating a government that tries to give too much advice or make too many laws about how people should live their lives, Bloomberg has been at the forefront of finding innovative but controversial ways of pushing people to make healthier choices. Its a bold experiment in the anti-obesity campaign. With at least two-thirds of American adults now considered overweight or obese—including more than half of New York City adults and nearly 40% of the citys public elementary and secondary school students—fighting obesity is one of the mayors signature causes, and sugary drinks a longtime target. "We are dealing with a crisis... we need to act on this," said Board of Health member Deepthiman Gowda, a professor of medicine at Columbia University. Bloomberg has noted that the ban doesnt prevent people from buying several small sodas at a time if they wish, but health officials hope that the inconvenience will eventually get people to cut down on their use of sugared drinks. While its widely supported by health professionals, its not popular with food retailers or most city residents. Some health officials, as well as the restaurant and beverage industry, are critical of the ban. They ask, why single out sugared sodas; obesity has many causes and contributors, not just what people drink. And if sugared beverages are being targeted, why not take stronger measures against other sources of sugar, such as candy and other sweets？ Many restaurant owners, fast-food chains and makers of sodas, including Coca-Cola and McDonalds, are also upset over what they see as a discriminatory policy that could hurt certain businesses while rewarding others. The groups plan to continue to challenge the ruling, including taking their concerns to court. "We are smart enough to make our own decisions about what to eat and drink," Liz Berman, the chairperson of the New Yorkers for Beverage Choices coalition, said in a statement.

New York City will ban the sale of big sodas in the following places EXCEPT______.

A．restaurants

B．supermarkets

C．theaters

D．stadiums

听力原文： For the past few weeks we have been discussing national energy conservation alte

rnatives for the future. Today I am going to talk about what one community is presently doing to conserve energy. The people of Davis California have succeeded in cutting their energy consumption by one third since 1973. The first energy saving action that was taken in the early 70' s was the legislation of strict building codes; all new houses in Davis must have the proper insulation so that heat will not escape unnecessarily in the winter. New houses also face north or south so that they will not be overheated by the sun in summer. The laws have had a definite effect. Since 1976, there has been a 50% saving in the amount of natural gas and electricity used in heating and air conditioning. There are other energy saving features about Davis. Buses, partially supported by the city, transplant university students throughout the area. There are twenty-four miles of bicycle paths and today there are twice as many bicycles as cars in the city. By reducing the available parking space the city council has succeeded in reducing the number of cars in the city every day. Another benefit of the reduced parking space is the greater number of small cars. People are saving gas because they are choosing not to drive or because they are driving fuel economic cars. Davis California has become an energy saving model for other cities. Time is up for today. Next week we will return to our regular topic of national energy alternatives.

What is the main topic of the lecture？

A．Bicycles and cars.

B．Building codes.

C．Energy conservation.

D．New housing construction.
