The report says: It has

43、been estimated(估计) that 7590 percent of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress related problems.”It is no exaggeration( 夸张 ) to say that people today are being attacked by stress. According to the National Consumers League, “ Work is the top source of stress for adults who have problem

44、s and stress in their lives (39%), followed by family (30%). Other sources include health (10%), concern about the economy (9%) and concern about international conflict an d terrorism (4%).”However, stress is hardly unique to the United States.

47、cted by work-related stress each year. ”What a bout Asia?

52、ce the aviation（ 航空 ） industry s effect on the climate, a new study shows. Scientists have found that the warming effect of aircraft is much greater when they fly in the dark, because of the effects of the condensation contrails（ 雾化尾迹）they leave.Piers Forster, an environmental scientist at the Unive

53、rsity of Leeds who led the project, said: “ Night flights are twice as bad as day flights for the environment. If the government wanted to reduce the likely effect of flights on climate then it could ensure that more planes flew during the day.Writing in the journal Nature today, Dr Forster and his

54、colleagues say aircraft contrails enhance the greenhouse effect because they absorbed heat in the same way as clouds. During the day, their warming effect is not serious because contrails reflect sunlight back into space, which helps to keep the planet cool.Dr. Forster added:“ Aircraft currently onl

55、y have a small effect on climate. However, the factthat the amount of air traffic is set to grow rapidly in coming years makes it important to find out the effects of contrails on our climate.” he said.The scientists monitored（ 监控 ） air traffic over the UK and worked out that, although one in four f

56、lights occurred between 6 pm and 6 am, they contributed 60 80% of the warming that could be attributed to contrails. Winter flights had more effect than those in the summer, contributing 50% of the warming despite providing only 22% of traffic.52. Which is NOT the reason why there should be a nation

57、wide ban on night flight?A. Because a nationwide ban on night fli ght can reduce the aviation industry effsect on the climate.B. Because during the day aircraft contrails can drop the greenhouse effect.C. Because a nationwide ban on night flight can stop carbon dioxide from being let out.D. Because the warming effect of aircraft is much greater when they fly in the dark.53. The underlined word “ enhance ” in the third
