20、 19 people at base camp.

27、d me with just 320 a month to live on.” She needed 4,000 to move home, including the deposit(押金). “I just didnt have the money.”Research found that in the UK one out of three low earners have borrowed money to pay their rent, either from family and friends or through credit cards. A full 70% of low

28、earners are either struggling or falling behind with rent payments, barely managing to have somewhere to live.Someone argues that people who cant afford their rent should move elsewhere, but low pay is widespread and there are more job opportunities in the places with higher rents.

29、 afford to save 10 a month, then the rental deposit, first months rent and removal fees are far beyond your resources unless you deliberately fall behind on your rent.Increasingly, organizations that deal with poverty and housing are shouting for a housing solution that deals with affordability, not

30、 just supply.

35、xtreme happiness or sorrow.While all tears are made up of enzymes, antibodies and oils mixed with salt water, the composition of each kind is unique. In a previous study performed on reflex and emotional tears, scientists discovered that the former contained primarily water while the latter included
