the cities is going to be 36 . they 37 that cities will become more and more crowded. 38 the number of people increases, there will be less space for each person. this 39 will cause other problems - more crimes, dirtier streets, and worse problems with traffic 40 we have now. how will people find enough drinking water, energy (such as gas and electricity), and housing? 41 life will be hard, people who live in cities will worry more, and they may become sick. 42 these reasons, some say that nobody will want to live in urban areas.how can we 43 such problems as overcrowding, crime, and traffic? in some cities, thousands of people are already 44 in the streets because there is so little suitable housing and because 45 are so high. the crime rate isnt going down. 46 , it is 47 so fast that many people are afraid to go out at night. traffic jams are so bad that cars dont move at all for several blocks. these 48 problems have been getting worse, not better, so many people see no 49 for the future of the city.however, not all people believe in the horrible 50 for cities of the future. instead, they feel that they can solve present urban problems and 51 future ones.the disadvantages of any modern city are not unique to that city. 52 , all the cities in the world have to solve the problems of traffic jams, crime, housing, energy, drinking water, and overcrowding. yet

detective. once a mountain lion killed a thirteen-year-old boy. the town offered a reward of thousand dollars for anyone who would kill the lion. one day an excited hunter came to the town to say that

hunter soon showed up to claim (索要) the reward. he too had a ball of human hair that he said he had taken from the dead lions stomach. the town did not know which man to pay. maybe neither one had killed the right mountain lion. to settle the argument, they decided to turn the whole thing over to dr. hausman. dr. hausman studied the hair and reported that the second hunter should be paid. the

studying gobies we noticed that only the largest two individuals, a male and female, had breeding（繁殖）rights within the group,” explains marian wong. “all other group members are non-breeding females, each being 5-10% smaller than its next largest competitor. we wanted to find out how they maintain this precise size separation.” the reason for the size difference was easy to see. once a subordinate
