A、gloomy study has just been released that says that the international trend towards living alone is putting an unprecedented strain on our ecosystem.
For a number of reasons--relationship breakdown, career choice, longer life spans, smaller families—the number of individual households is growing.And this is putting intolerable pressure on natural resources, and accelerating the extinction of endangered plant and animal species.And there is worse news. Running a refrigerator, television, cooker, plumbing system just for selfish little you is a disastrous waste of resources on our over-populated planet. "The efficiency of resource consumption" is a lot higher in households of two people or more, simply because they share everything. Well imagine that. Just when you thought living alone was OK, you would find that all the time you were the enemy of mankinD、Every time you put the kettle on the stove for a cup of coffee you were destroying MotherEarth. Indeed, it is not just your mother who is a bit worried by your continuing single status—you are letting down the entire human race by not having a boyfriend or girlfrienD、The trouble is that society has a group instinct and people panic and hit out when they see other people quietly rebelling and straying away from the "standard" of family and coupledom.
The suggestion is that singledom should be at best a temporary state. Unless you are assimilated into a larger unit, you can never be fully functional.
Try "communal living." There are all these illustrations of young attractive people having a "great time," laughingly bumping into each other. It looks like an episode of the TV series "Friends. "
And the message is clear: Togetherness is good, solitude is bad, and being single on your own is not alloweD、

4题:Do you know that all human beings have a "comfortable zone" regulating the distance they stand from someone when they talk This distance varies in interesting ways among people of different cultures.
Greeks, others of theEastern Mediterranean, and many of those from SouthAmerica normally stand close together when they talk, often moving their faces even closer as they warm up in a conversation. NorthAmericans find this awkward and often back away a few inches. Studies have found that they tend to feel most comfortable at about 21 inches apart. In much ofAsia andAfrica, there is even more space between two speakers in conversation. This greater space subtly lends an air of dignity and respect. This matter of space is nearly always unconscious, but it is interesting to observe.
This difference applies also to the closeness with which people sit together, the extent which they lean over one another in conversation, how they move as they argue, or make an emphatic point. In the United States, for example, people try to keep their bodies apart even in a crowded elevator; in Paris they take it as it comes!
Although NorthAmericans have a relatively wide "comfortable zone" for talking, they communicate, a great deal with their hands--not only with gestures but also with touch. They put a sympathetic hand on a person’s shoulder to demonstrate warmth of feeling or an arm around him in sympathy~ they nudge a man in the ribs to emphasize a funny story; they pat an arm in reassurance or stroke a child’s head in affection, they readily take someone’s arm to help him across a street or direct him along an unfamiliar route. To many people—especially those fromAsia or the Muslim countries—such bodily contact is unwelcome, especially if inadvertently done with the left-hanD、 (The left hand carries no special significance in the U. S. ManyAmericans are simply left-handed and use that hand more. )

B.stand farthest apart
C.feel ill at ease when too close
D.move nearer during conversations
