Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. “What are you going to be when you grow up?” is a question that you may have been asked. You may not even know there are a variety of geography-related jobs. The Association of American Geographers lists nearly 150 different geography jobs. So, if you are interested in people, places, and environments, consider a job in geography. Your work will not be limited to maps—it might range from 1 data to planning projects, or making decisions about the environment. Processing Geographic Data A geographer’s main activity is analyzing geographic information to answer geographic questions. Jobs processing geographic data begin, of course, with collecting the information. One on-the-ground job in data collection is that of a surveyor. Surveyors 2 and measure the land directly. They may mark boundaries, study the shape of the land, or even help find sewer(下水道) and water systems beneath the Earth. High-tech information-gathering jobs include working with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data. Some examples of these jobs include remote sensing specialists and GIS analysts. Data analysis jobs require the ability to think 3 , high-level computer skills, and a college education. Once data have been processed, a geographer may study the information to use in planning projects such as a new urban area, a(n) 4 evacuation(撤退) plan, or the placement of a new highway. Planners can also help determine how to make a neighborhood a better place to live. These jobs, too, require good critical thinking, writing, and computer skills, as well as a college education. Planners are 5 to the success of a community. Advising Businesses and Government About half of jobs using geography are in business and government. All kinds of 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 2 businesses use geographic information to help build and 6 their operations. A location analyst studies an area to find the best location for a client. The client might be a large retail store chain that wants to know which location would be best for opening a new store. The location analyst can study GIS reports on such elements as transportation networks or population in an area and give the business owners the positive and 7 points about a location being considered. In 1967, the Mexican government was looking for a location to create a new international tourist resort. They used location analysts to find an area that had good beaches and was easy to reach from the United States. The 8 was Cancún, today one of the world’s most desirable vacation sites. Businesses connected with natural 9 such as forests also rely on geographers. Geographers help them understand the relationship between their business and the environment where their business is located. In 1967, Cancún was a small island on Mexico’s Caribbean coast. It had white sand beaches, many birds and mangrove(红树) trees, but few people. After it was selected as a resort site, it was quickly 10 . Today, Cancún has more than 100 hotels and 500,000 permanent residents. Many work in the tourist industry that serves the millions of visitors who come each year from all over the world. Physical and Human Geography Physical geographers are sometimes called earth scientists. Some study such topics as geomorphology (地形学), that is, the study of how the shape of the Earth 11 . Others study weather and climate. Still others study water, the oceans, soils, or ecology. Jobs in these fields require 12 scientific training. Some geographers study economic, political, and 13 issues as they relate to place or region. Human geographers are usually hired by government agencies to analyze a specific problem. These geographers work 14 with political scientists, economists, and sociologists. Together, they provide possible solutions to problems from many different aspects of life in an area. And, of course, geographers teach the subject at all levels of 15 , from elementary schools to universities.

For this study,912 adult men and women between the ages of 25 and 74 completed short daily telephone interviews about that day's experiences over an eightday period.The interviews focused on the participants' psychological and emotional distress (i.e.，whether they were nervous，sad，etc.) and if they had experienced any stressful events that day. The participants were also required to answer questions such as，“How would you rate your relationship with your mother during the years when you were growing up？”and “How much time and attention did your mother give you when you needed it？”The same questions were asked about fathers. People who reported they had a good motherchild relationship reported three percent less psychological distress compared to those who reported a poor relationship，according to Mallers. Men who reported having a good relationship with their father during childhood were more likely to be less emotional when reacting to stressful events in their current daily lives than those who had a poor relationship，according to her findings. Also，the quality of mother and father relationships was significantly associated with how many stressful events the participants faced on a daily basis.In other words，if they had a poor childhood relationship with both parents，they reported more stressful incidents over the eightday study when compared to those who had a good relationship with their parents. Mallers theorized why healthy or unhealthy relationships may have an effect on how people handle stress as adults，“Perhaps having caring parents equips children with the experiences and skills necessary to more successfully navigate their relationships with other people throughout childhood and into adulthood.”she 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 said. 【语篇导读】 最新研究发现，孩提时的父母与子女的关系会影响孩子成人以后的处理压力 的能力。 36．What can we know about the recent study from the passage?

Experts suggest a possible model way may be reinventing a “garden city”． China's megacities are bursting at the borders and the country is now undergoing the quickest and biggest urbanization in the history of mankind. It is estimated that by 2025, China will have 400 million more people living in its cities, raising its urban population to 900 million. Besides, new satellite towns are mushrooming on the urban fringes while city ring roads are rippling outwards into the countryside at amazing speed. Satellite maps collected by Professor Joshua Bolchover at the University of Hong Kong bring the problem sharply into focus. They track the changing ruralurban framework in the past 30 years, and suggest that cities are cruelly destroying surrounding rural land and rapidly reducing the amount of arable(可耕种的)land, which gives way to new residential blocks, new industrial zones, new financial centers and the other inevitable signs and signatures of economic growth. This, however, is not sustainable growth pattern, especially when China has the world's largest population to feed. So concerned urban planners are starting to note the social and physical effects of diaspora(大移居)when replaced rural communities are forced into the cities. On the other hand, a trend of thought is gradually taking shape and this is the concept of the “garden city”， a combination of country and city that is being 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 9 proposed by architects and city planners. Hua Li, from Tao Architects, is among the many professionals with such a voice. His argument is supported by a longterm study on this subject. As Hua says, the answer is to preserve patches of productive farmland within urban boundaries. Less transportation means we have fresh agricultural products at lower costs and less carbon emission in the city. And urban farmland can also be showcased for agricultural tourism and education. The concept is already practiced at grass roots level.Agriculture has gone into the air, up to roof and balcony in some communities in the cities. It's common to see organic “hanging garden” on the roof of some traditional courtyard home. According to some people, the rooftop project translates into practical benefits, such as safe, nutritious vegetables and a cooler home in summer. Some say thanks to the tomatoes they plant that are natural insect killers, there're fewer mosquitoes. Apart from these, it also contributes to better bonding with neighbors. Zhang, a doctor in Beijing, began creating his hanging garden five years ago. Since his garden became home to 30 kinds of vegetables and fruit—all enough to feed his family, neighbors have enjoyed dropping by for a relaxing chat or just to see how well the lovely vegetables and fruit are growing. Although people like Zhang are still rare and the greening of roof space with vegetables and fruit takes skill and energy，with more positive media exposure and advanced technology there is the prospect that garden city will become common practice in the near future. By then, cities will no longer look so gray when seen from the satellites. 【语篇解读】 中国的城市化进程不断加快，这是一个我们不得不面对的现实。如果不 能较好地应对，这对我们来说将是个灾难。城市和农村将如何融合共生？ 16．Some experts suggest reinventing a “garden city” because________.
