15、ed to school on Bus 59. But as fuel prices rose， the school district needed to find a way to cut its transportation costs. So the schools busing company redrew its route map， eliminating Nias bus altogether. Now Nia and her neighbors travel the half mile to school via a “walking school bus ” 一a grou

16、p of kids， supervised by an adult or two, who make the walk together。Like the rest of us, school districts are feeling pinched by rising fuel costsand finding new ways to adapt. The price of diesel fuel has gone up 34 percent in the past two years。 For the typical American school district， bus bills

17、 total 5 percent of the budget. As administrators look to trim, busing is an inviting target, since it doesnt affect classroom instruction （or test scores). More than one third of American school administrators have eliminated bus stops or routes in order to stay within budget。Many parents are delig

18、hted to see their kids walking to school，partly because many did so themselves: according to a 1969 survey， nearly half of school kids walked or biked to school, compared with only 16 percent in 2001. Modern parents have been unwilling to let kids walk to school for fear of traffic, crime or simple

19、bullying， but with organized adult supervision, those concerns have diminished。Schools and busing companies are finding other ways to save. In rural areas where busing is a must，some schools have even chosen four-day school weeks。 Busing companies instruct drivers to eliminate extra stops from route

20、s and to turn off the engine while idling。 They are also using computer software to determine the most fuel-efficient routes， which arent always the shortest ones.There could be downsides， however, to the busing cutbacks. If every formerly bused student begins walking to school, its an environmental

21、 winbut if too many of their parents decide to drive them instead，the overall carbon footprint can grow. Replacing buses with many more parent-driven cars can also increase safety risks： A 2002 report concluded students are 13 times safer on a school bus than in a passenger car, since buses have few

26、eason， women are living longer than men. A baby boy born in the United States in 2003 can expect to live to be about 73,a baby girl， about 79。 This is indeed a wide gap， and no one really knows why it exists. The greater longevity （长寿）of women， however， has been known for centuries。 It was，for examp

27、le, described in the seventeenth century. However, the difference was smaller then-the gap is growing。A number of reasons have been proposed to account for the differences。 The gap is greatest in industrialized societies, so it has been suggested that women are less susceptible to work strains that

28、may raise the risk of heart disease and alcoholism. Sociologists also tell us that women are encouraged to be less adventurous than men (and this may be why they are more careful drivers，involved in fewer accidents）。 Even smoking has been implicated in the age discrepancy. It was once suggested that

29、 working women are more likely to smoke and as more women entered the work force， the age gap would begin to close, because smoking is related to earlier deaths。 Now, however， we see more women smoking and they still tend to live longer although their lung cancer rate is climbing sharply.One puzzlin

30、g aspect of the problem is that women do not appear to be as healthy as men. That is， they report far more illnesses。 But when a man reports an illness， it is more likely to be serious.Some researchers have suggested that men may die earlier because their health is more strongly related to their emo

31、tions。 For example, men tend to die sooner after losing a spouse than women do。 Men even seem to be more weakened by loss of a job. （Both of these are linked with a marked decrease in the effectiveness of the immune system.） Among men, death follows retirement with an alarming promptness。Perhaps we

32、are searching for the answers too close to the surface of the problem. Perhaps the answers lie deeper in our biological heritage。 After all， the phenomenon is not isolated to humans. Females have the edge among virtually all mammalian （哺乳动物的)species, in that they generally live longer. Furthermore， in many of these species the differences begin at the moment of c
