What's the greenest place in America? If you answered something like the warm sunlight of Santa Barbara, you'd be wrong. The greenest place in America has almost no sign of nature-- the buildings outnumber the trees-- and the air isn't all that great. What it has is density and efficiency-- the twin qualities that finally define green in the global warming time. Applying those standards,the greenest place in America is New York City-- particularly,the overcrowded,overpriced island of Manhattan, which produces 30% less per-capita greenhouse gas than that of the nation. It's that density that makes Manhattan so green. Manhattan's population density is 800 times the national average. Density comes with negatives,certainly-- small living spaces,air pollution-- but it also enables amazing efficiencies.Over 80% of Manhattanites travel to work by public transport, by bike or on foot-- compared to an average of about 8% everywhere else in the country. Manhattan's apartment buildings are far more energy-efficient than the houses in the suburbs. What's true of New York City is more or less true of other American urban areas, which explains why a growing part of the environmental movement now focuses on greening cities, hoping to attract more Americans back downtown. There's an effort to make cities more sustainable ,by improving public transport,reducing air pollution and upgrading energy efficiency. But even more important, it is quite urgent to change decades of government policies that have been in favor of the suburbs,with disastrous consequences for energy,the environment and the climate. That's exactly the difficult point. For all the high efficiency and convenience and richness of living in a city,there are disadvantages too.New York,for example,has some of the highest childhood asthma rates in the U.S. So it's welcome news that New York has continued to push its P1aNYC scheme, a long-term program to make the city greener and more sustainable over the next decades. Recently _ announced an update to the plan that... We can infer from the passage that _ . A) New Yorkers have urged the city government to carry out green policies B) the public transport and living space are quite satisfactory in New York C) life in the countryside is more comfortable and energy efficient than that in cities D) the significance of making cities greener is gained in promoting energy efficiency

Going to school means learning new skills and facts in different subjects. Teachers teach and students learn, and many scientists are interested in finding ways to improve both teaching and learning processes. Sian Beilock and Susan Leving, two psychologists at the University of Chicago, are trying to learn about learning. In a new study about the way kids learn math in primary school, Beilock and Levine found a surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn: If a female teacher is uncomfortable with her own math skills, then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math. "If these girls keep getting math-anxious female teachers in later grades, _ ," Levine told Science News. The study suggests that if these girls grow up believing that boys are better at math than girls are, then these girls may not do as well as they would have if they were more confident. Just as students find certain subjects to be difficult, teachers can find certain subjects to be difficult to learn--and teach. The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone. The new study involved 65 girls, 52 boys and 17 first-and second-grade teachers in primary schools in the Midwest. The students took math achievement tests at the beginning and end of the school year, and the researchers compared the scores. The researchers also gave the students tests to tell whether the students believed a math superstar had to be a boy. Then the researchers turned to the teachers: To find out which teachers were anxious about math, the researchers asked the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math, such as when reading a sales receipt . A teacher who got nervous looking at the numbers on a sales receipt, for example, was probably anxious about math. Boys, on average, were unaffected by a teacher's anxiety. On average, girls with math-anxious teachers scored lower on the end-of-the-year math tests than other girls in the... What is the finding of the new study? A) No male students were affected by their teachers' anxiety. B) Almost all the girls got lower scores in the tests than the boys. C) About 30% of the girls thought boys were better at math than girls D) Girls with math-anxious teachers all failed in the math tests.
