In places with poor city planning, for example Lagos, which was called out recently by the Economist Intelligence Unit, public spaces are few, making outdoor activities hard. Lack of infrastructure (基础建设) blocks the streets with cars and the air with pollutants, and residents work long hours for little money.These are just some of the factors added up by Spotahome, a rental agency. Theyve analyzed data from a range of sources, including the World Health Organization, TripAdvisor and the CIA World Factbook to score each city on health, gym availability and quality, life expectancy, obesity, green space and other elements to make a list to work out which are the worlds healthiest cities.The list is certainly Euro-centric and sunshine is seen as a positive factor. It does go some way towards suggesting which cities are getting it right in providing a good life for their residents. It may not be surprising to learn that most of the healthiest cities are in northern Europe, known for its people-first approach to city planning. The cities of Australia and Canada also do well. However, the first American city is only in 34th place. The UK doesnt fare too well either its only city in the top 50 list is London, in 40th.Whether youre planning a wholesome holiday, or simply wondering what your city can do better in its quest for happy citizens, the list of the 50 healthiest cities will give you pause for thought about the future of city planning.

The nice countries to keep healthyDBritain faces social problems as lots of people are set to lose their jobs in technological revolution, Bank of Englands chief economist warned.Andy Haldane said the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution will make the machine replace humans to do thinking things. The dark side of the change could be a much bigger breakdown of employment than in Victorian times, with professions such as accountancy (会计) among those at risk.A report by the accountancy firm PwC last month warned that more than 7 million jobs in Britain had been lost over the next 20 years as technological change sweeps through workplaces.The majority of these are in jobs in the retail, transport and manufacturing industries. However, other traditional professional sectors could also be at serious risk.Economists treat the arrival of increasingly intelligent computers and robots as the fourth industrial revolution. The first was the shift from agricultural to urban societies, the second saw the widespread use of electricity and steel, and the third was the digital revolution when computers, the Internet and mobile phones were developed.Mr Haldane said the hollowing-out (空洞化) experienced in the past years could be on a greater scale in the future so it is important to learn the lessons of history and ensure that people are given training to take advantage of new opportunities.Jobs were effectively taken by machines of various types, there was a hollowing-out of the jobs market, which left many people for a long period out of work and struggling to make a living, Haldane added, That heightened social and financial tensions, and led to a rise in inequality. This is the dark side of technological revolution.That hollowing-out is going to be potentially on a much greater scale in the future, when we have machines thinking and doing the cognitive and technical skills of humans. Mr Haldane said professions like accountancy could be among those hardest hit by the rise of AI. But he suggested economists could escape.32. What is the dark side mentioned in the text?A. The hollowing-out has become a major social problem.B. Less and less people have the desire to learn accountancy.C. Intelligent computers and robots decrease good workers.D. The technological revolution causes people to lose jobs.33. Why are economists the lucky dog in the new technological revolution?A. The study about economy is at a low level.B. Economists work on a traditional professional job.C. There is no machine that can work as an economist.D. Economists have the chance to avoid technological revolution.34. What should be done to deal with the serious situation?A. To call for people to devote more to studying history.B. To teach people to grasp the chances technological revolution brings about.C. To warn people not to work on transport and manufacturing industries.D. To ask workers to develop and think as the intelligent computers and robots do.35. What attitude did Haldane have towards the future employment?A. Positive. B. Aggressive. C. Critical. D. Worried.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Children who have developed leadership skills are sure to have a bright future. 36 Not only will they gain more self-esteem and interact more easily with their peers, they can also make an impact on their community. These qualities will continue to develop as children grow up. Here are simple techniques to develop childrens leadership qualities.Discuss peer pressure. Children are often exposed to peer pressure, and worry about how others view them. 37 Leadership requires being socially involved, but still honoring personal morals and standards. Discuss hypothetical (假设的) peer pressure situations and ask kids to consider how theyd behave in different situations.38 When theyre able to clearly show their thoughts, they feel more self-confident and are able to deal with complex problems. You can help by encouraging children to speak out and by listening seriously to their thoughts. Although many children go through rebellious stages, dont enforce silence. Instead, suggest self-expression.Teach by example. 39 Even if they dont express it aloud, children may see you as a role model. Model leadership behavior by helping others, volunteering in leadership positions and taking action in everyday life.Develop childrens individual talents and encourage participation. Every child has potential for leadership skills, but not every child develops skills in the same way. 40 A child might be a talented athlete or skilled at painting and drawing. Find ways for kids to develop these skills in a group setting, which promotes teamwork and social skills.A. Encourage children to express themselves.B. Pay attention to specific interests and abilities.C. Find volunteer and community service opportunities.D. Children start benefiting from leadership skills at any age.E. Children with self-awareness have a greater ability to lead.F. Children observe the adults in their lives, and value what they see.G.
