TexyhMII9tHilton was a pioneer in a 24-hour working trend, 36 has now caught on around the world. Today not only restaurants but also banks, supermarkets, mail-order firms, travel agencies and many other businesses are beginning to be open all night. But is this really a good thing?TexyhMII9tSo far, a lot of research 37 (do in America on the effect of 24-hour working, and there is growing concern about the long-term dangers of a society that doesnt sleep.

Many artists, however, would prove that there has always been a warm relationship between the 41 areas of human activity. For example, in the late nineteenth century the connections between music and painting were 42 close. zhucanqi Artists were invited to design clothes and settings for operas and ballets, but sometimes it was the musicians who were inspired by the work of 43 painters. Of the musical compositions that were considered as responses to the visual arts, perhaps the most famous is Mussorgskys Pictures at an Exhibition.TexyhMII9t Mussorgsky 44 the piece in 1874 after the death, at the age of 39, of the artist Victor Hartmann. Though their friendship had not been a particularly long-lasting one, Mussorgsky was shocked by Hartmanns 45 death. The following year the critic, Vladimir Stasov, who decided to hold an exhibition of Hartmanns work, suggested that Mussorgsky try to 46 his grief by writing something in 47 of Hartmann.TexyhMII9t The exhibition served as Mussorgskys inspiration.

Between each is a promenade “It seems likely that a caged elephant would miss the wilderness it was born into.” a six-year study revealed.TexyhMII9t British and Canadian scientists studied 4,500 elephants in European zoos and compared them with elephants living in the wild. They found that wild elephants are healthier, live longer and reproduce more than those elephants in zoos.TexyhMII9tWhen it comes to living in a zoo, “many species do well but elephants dont,” said Georgia Mason, one of the researchers of the study. Many animals live longer in zoos than they do in the wild. This isnt surprising when you consider that zoo animals are not threatened by predators (掠食者, always have plenty to eat, P.F.

The worlds largest land animals live much longer in the wild than they do in zoos.TexyhMII9tFemale African elephants born in zoos live on average for 17 years, while those in the wild make it to 56. “So far,” says Mason, “Weve got 300 African elephants in zoos in Europe, and not ones yet reached 50.”TexyhMII9t Asian elephants are the more endangered of the two elephant species. They live for about 19 years in captivity (圈养 compared to 42 years in the wild. A few wild Asian elephants have even made it into their 70s. In Kenya, 30 to 50 percent of wild elephants reach 50 years of age.TexyhMII9t Fatness and stress are likely causes for the giant land animals early death in captivity, Mason said.TexyhMII9tThe researchers say that zoos do not offer enough space for animals that can travel as far as 48 kilometers a day. Too little exercise and too much food means captive elephants put on extra weight. The weight gain can lead to heart disease and other health problems.TexyhMII9tBeing “caged” is bad for health, not only for elephants, but also for humans. Be careful not to become a “caged elephant”!TexyhMII9t66. Many animals live longer in zoos owing to the following reasons EXCEPT that _.
