Super Size Me is a 2004 film by Morgan Spurlock, in which he documents his experiment to eat only McDonald's fast food three times a day, every day, for thirty days

LESSONS FROM CURITIBA

Urban planning deals with the physical, economic, and social development of cities Today urban populations are increasing rapidly, and growing cities are putting enormous pressure on the environment For this reason, the type of urban planning found in Curitiba, in southern Brazil, is more important than ever

Trang 21

problems as many other cities all over the world, namely overcrowding, pollution, and an increased demand for services, transport, and housing How, then, did Curitiba address these problems?

By the 1940s the population of Curitiba had grown to about 150,000 as immigrants from countries such as Japan, Syria, and Lebanon came to work in agriculture and industry These people needed both housing and transportation Curitiba's leaders realised that it was not sensible to deal with these problems separately Consequently, they employed a French planner and architect, Alfred Agache, to find an overall solution Agache studied all aspects of the problem He designed a scheme which gave priority to public services such as sanitation and public transport At the same time, the scheme included centres which helped both community life and commerce to develop, and reduced traffic congestion This was the first scheme to address several problems of growing cities at the same time Unfortunately, some parts of his plan were not completed The result, as described below, was that his scheme only served Curitiba for another 20 years

By the 1960s, the population of Curitiba had grown to about 430,000 inhabitants, so the city had to rethink its needs In order to do this, the mayor put together a team of architects and town planners led by Jaime Lerner This team produced the Curitiba Master Plan This consisted of taking Agache's original plan and adding wide, high-speed roads which crossed the smaller streets Their proposals also included plans to minimise urban growth, reduce city centre traffic, and preserve the city's historic district It is clear that the Curitiba Master Plan was one of the first attempts to integrate all aspects of city planning

This integrated approach to urban design was maintained throughout the 1980s as Curitiba's population grew to almost one million inhabitants Environmental facilities were added, such as a recycling programme for household waste, and parks and 'green' spaces were protected from development However, good transportation remained central to the planning

Trang 22

changes will continue be the population of Curitiba increases, but its city planners are continually searching for solutions to the problems Question 26: What aspect of development does urban planning NOT deal with?

A physical development B technical development C economic development D social development

Question 28: What was the main cause of the increase in Curitiba's population Delore the 1940s?

A immigrants from rural areas B workers in business park

C immigrants from neighbouring countries D immigrants from Japan, Syria, and Lebanon

Question 29: In what ways was Agache’s approach different? A His scheme gave priority to public services

B His scheme included centres which helped both community life and commerce to develop

A NEW CAPITAL

When the new state of Pakistan was founded in 1947, Karachi acted as the capital city However, it was difficult for Karachi to remain in this role due to a number of drawbacks such as the climate and the state of the existing buildings Rather than try to overcome these drawbacks, the government decided to create a new capital city In 1959, a commission was established to investigate the possible locations of this new city The advisor appointed to the commission was Dr Doxiadis, a famous architect and city planner

Dr Doxiadis and his colleagues looked at the various locations They then produced a report suggesting two possible areas: one just outside Karachi and the other to the north of Rawalpindi Both locations had advantages as well as disadvantages Which site was it to be?

The choice between these two options was made after consideration of many factors, such as transportation, the availabilities of water, economic factors, and factors of national interest Finally, the site north of Rawalpindi was chosen and on the 24th February 1960, the new capital was given the name of ‘Islamabad’ and a master plan was drawn up This master plan divided the area into three different sections: Islamabad itself, neighbouring Rawalpindi, and the national park

the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, which provided funds for school districts to improve their education programs and facilities, including their libraries (20) _, many educators claim that since the legislation was passed federal spending has not increased sufficiently to meet the rising cost of new library technologies such as computer databases and Internet access

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer answer to each of the questions

An air pollutant is defined as a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or materials adversely Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled – a far cry from the extensive list of harmful substances known today As technology has developed and knowledge of health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened In the future, even water vapor might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions Many of more important air pollutants such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, are found in nature As the Earth developed, the concentrations of these pollutants were altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical cycle These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil on a global basis, nature's output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities

the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level Carbon monoxide, however, as a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm
