In common with many countries, Britain has serious environmental proble ms. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.
Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.
Part of the problem is the new ‘out of town’ shopping centres. In the past, people often walked to shops near their home or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centres. As a result, the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping.
Critics say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport. Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600km) can cost about
￡100, for example. A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over ￡1.00.
Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost. |

This animal is the fennec fox.
Fennec foxes have ears that are 5 to 6 inches long. That"s big for an animal that weighs less than four
pounds. Their ears help shed (去除) body heat. And, as you may have guessed, they also provide great
hearing.
It"s also interesting to think about the hair of fennec foxes. Why would a fox that lives in the desert
need a thick, fur coat? Actually, the desert isn"t always warm. During the nighttime, a desert can be
terribly cold! A fennec fox"s fur keeps them warm during those desert nights. They also have long bushy
tails that they use as a blanket. And the hair on their feet protects them from the hot sand in the daytime.
Fennec foxes live in small communities of dens (兽穴).They spend most of the day sleeping in their
dens, out of the hot sun. Then, when night comes, they come out in search of food. In addition to their
great hearing, fennecs also use their great sense of smell and big eyes to track down dinner.
Like other foxes, fennecs are omnivores. This means they eat both meat and plants. They like eating
birds, eggs, insects, snails, fruit and leaves best.
Fennec fox mothers have one to five babies at a time. The lifespan of a fennec fox is 10 to 12 years.
The cream coloration of fennec foxes help them blend into their desert habitat. Still, they have to watch
out for predators (捕食性动物). These include caracals ( a type of wild cat ) , jackals, eagle owls,
hyenas and humans. Humans catch them for their fur and to sell as pets. | |
