25、 better-orfor a few years. Since youve been for the worse?If youve just arrived back inthe UK after a fortnights holiday, small changes have probably surprised you-anything from a Iocal grcengrocer suddenly being replaced by a mobile-phone shop to someone in your street moving house.So how have thin

26、gs changed to people coming back to Britain after seven, ten or even 15 year: living abroad ? What changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticed -or now take for granted ? To find out, we asked some people who recently returned.Dcbi: When we Ic几Cheltenham, my home town, was

27、 a town of white ,middle-class families-all very conservative(保守的).The town is now home to many eastern Europeans and lots of Australians, who come here mainly to work in hotel and tourism. There are even severai snops only for foreigners.Having been an inunigrant (移民) myself, I admire people who go

28、 overseas tofind a job. Maybe if I lived in an inner city where unemployment was high, Id thinkdifferently, but I believe foreign settlers have improved this country because theyremore open-minded and often work harder than the natives.Christine: As we flew home over Britain, both of us remarked how

29、 greeneverything looked. But the differences between the place wed left behind and the onewe returned to were brought sharply into focus as soon as we landed.To see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frightening-inCyprus, theyre very relaxed-and I got pulled over by customs of

30、ficers just fortaking a woolen sweater with some metal-made buttons out of my case in the arrivalshall. Everyone seemed to be on guard. Even the airport car-hire firm wanted a creditcard rather than cash because they said their vehicles had been used by bank robbers.But anyway, this is still a green

34、itching to the tram, then maybe a taxi. We alwaysconsidered taking a horse carriage in the historic district, but we didnt like the waythe horses were treated, so we never did. At the end of the day, we took the subway toour closest station, where Moms friend was waiting to give us a ride home-our f

35、irstcar ride of the day.The good thing about Transportation Days is not only that Mom taught us how to get around. She was born to be multimodal (多方式的). She understood thatdepending on cars only was a failure of imagination and, above all, a failure ofconfidence-the product of a childhood not spent

36、exploring subway tunnels.Once you Ieam the route map and step with certainty over the gap between the train and the platform, nothing is frightening any more. New cities are just light-rail lines to be explored. And your personal car, if you have one, becomes just one more tool in the toolbox-and of

37、ten an inadequate one. limiting both your nobility and your wallet.On Transportation Days, we might stop for lunch on Chc.rnw Surd or buy a new book or toy. but the transportation was the point.

42、C. Tram.D. Car.CIt was a simple letter asking for a place to study at Scotlands oldest university which helped start a revolution in higher education. A 140-ycar-old letter written by a lady calling for her to be allowed to study medicine at St Andrews University has been discovered by researchers.

43、Written by Sophia Jex-Blake in 1873, the seven-page document, which urged the university to allow women to study medicine at the institution, was released yesterday on International Womens Day.The document was buried in the university archives（档案）by part-time history student Lis Smith, who is comple

44、ting her PhD at St Andrews Institute of Scottish I listorical Research. She said: We knew that Sophia Jex-Blake and her supporters, in their effort to open up university medical education for women, had written t0 the Senatus Academicus(校评议委员会) at St Andrews in an attempt to gain permission to atten

45、d classes there, but we didnt know documentary evidence existed. While searching the archives for information certificate for women, I was astonished to come across Jex-Blake wrote. about the universitys higher what must be the very letter Jex-Blake.In the letter. Sophia and her supporters offered t

46、o hire teachers or build suitable buildings for a medical school and to arrange for lectures 7o be delivered in the subjects not already covered at St Andrews. Although her letter was not successful, it eventually led to the establishment of the Ladies Literate in Arts at St Andrews, a distance-lear

47、ning degree for women. The qualification, which ran from 1877 until the 1930s, gave women access to university education in the days before they were admitted as students. It was so popular that it survived long after women wereadmitted as full students to St Andrews in 1892.Ms Jcx-Blake went on to

48、help establish the London School of Medicine for Women in 1874. She was accepted by the University of Berne, where she was awarded a medical degree in January 1877. Eventually, she moved back to Edinburgh and opened her own practice.59. Sophia wrote a letter to St Andrews University because she want

49、edA. to carry out a research project thereB. to set up a medical institute thereC. to study medicine thereD. to deliver lectures there60.

51、at siblings(兄弟姐妹) can turn out so diffcrcntly? One answer is that in fact each sibling grows up in a different family. The firstborn is, for a while, an only child, and therefore has a completely different experience of the parents than those born later. The next child is, for a while, the youngest,

52、 until the situation is changed by a new arrival. The mother and father themselves arc changing and growing up too. One sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few years; another might be raised in a family crisis, with a disappointed mother or anangry father.Sibling competition

53、 was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918. But more recently, researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each others lives. Dr. Annette Henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings. The reason

54、 for this might be that the later children arent getting the same one-on-one time with parents.But that doesnt mean that the younger children have problems with language development. Later-boors dont enjoy that much talking time with parents, but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and

55、 sisters, learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between I and me.A Cambridge University study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of play that helped them grow socially. Love-hate relationships were common among the childr

56、en. Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs.One way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings, particularly if they are close in age. Researchers have found that the first two chi

57、ldren in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third. Girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being more feminine than girls with sisters. A 2003 research paper studied adolescents from 185 families over two years, finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their parents.63. The underlined part in a different family (in Para. 1) means_。A. in a different family environmentB. in a dif
