But as

19、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 busa group of kids, supervised by an adult or

20、 two, who make the trek 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 school district, bus bills total 5 percent of the budget. As administr

21、ators 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 delighted to see their kids walking to school, p

22、artly 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 bullying, but with organized adult supervi

23、sion, 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 routes and to turn off the engine while idlin

24、g. They are also using 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 winbut if too many of their parents decide to drive them instead, the

25、 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 fewer accidents and withstand them better due to their size. And some st

26、udents complain about the long morning hikes, particularly when the route contains a really big hill. 31. The “walking school bus” _. A. does not consume fuel B. aims to keep children fit C. seldom causes traffic jams D. is popular with school kids32. In America the responsibility for busing kids to

30、 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 example, described in the seventeenth century. How

31、ever, 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 may raise the risk of heart disease and alcoholism. Sociologists also tell us that women are encouraged to be less adventurou
