Dire statistics show that in the years since 1998, Japans suicide numbers have topped (居于 最高) the 30,000 mark (标记)annually. Newsweek and Time magazines have
15、both covered the phenomenon, and each time one of the regular Japanese language newspapers comes out with a higher unemployment figure, they tie them together with the growing suicide problem, and with a great deal of justification(理由).There is an unhappy little spot near the base of Mount Fuji call
16、ed the Aokigahara woods which happens to be one of the most infamous places in Japan for suicidal people to do themselves in. According to figures released by the Fuji-Yoshida police station in Yamanashi Prefecture this year, approximately 78 suspected suicide victims were found hanging from the tre
17、es, an increase from the former record of 73 found back in 1998.Statistics from the World Health Organization show that the majority of suicide victims are males from age 40 to the mid-60s.

22、gh 45.32 “Avoid the rush-hour“ must be the slogan of large cities the world over. Whenever you look, its people, people, people. The streets are so crowded, there is hardly room to move; when a bus arrives, its so full, it cant take any more passengers. The extraordinary thing is not that people put
23、 up with (忍受,容忍) these conditions, but that they actually choose them in preference to anything else.Large modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on the people who inhabit them. It is possible to live such an air conditioned existence in a large city that you a
24、re barely conscious of the seasons. What is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant.

29、living in cities(B) peoples preference for living in cities is wrong(C) the living conditions of cities are worse than those of countries(D)measures should be taken to improve the living conditions in cities37 What is the authors attitude towards living in cities?(A)Unconcerned.(B) Critic.(C) Sympat
