Think of Thailands capital city, Bangkok, and the noisy tuktuks may come to mind. Think of San Francisco and you might see the citys cable cars.Imagining what these cities would look like without those is difficult. They are symbols of these cities that make them different. However, these city symbols are not always so well loved by their city leaders. City leaders want what is best for their city, which often means the most modern transport.In Bangkok, city leaders have banned(禁止) tuktuks because they consider them noisy and polluting. However, the ban has largely been unsuccessful as it has not changed Thai peoples love for the cheap tuktuks over taxis.In London the citys first ever mayor(市长)removed the red doubledecker buses, which he thought were old fashioned. His plan worked, but Londoners were unhappy to lose the nice old buses they believed represented the best of their city. They made their unhappiness felt when the mayor came up for reelection. Most Londoners voted for his competitor, who promised to bring the bus back.As for San Francisco, several cable cars are still in use but mainly as tourist attractions. They are too slow to be used for anything other than scenic trips.City transport symbols may have a place in their city peoples hearts, but it seems they are increasingly out of step with the modern world. As Londoners have proved, their continued life depends on peoples willingness to fight for their survival.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了不同城市的标志性的交通工具， 以及和这些交通工具相关的趣事。1Whats the authors purpose of writing the first paragraph?

For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress levels and blood pressure in people (half of them were pet owners) while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic(算术) or held a hand in ice water. People completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems that people feel more relaxed around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets dont judge.A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog may also have an effect on your body weight.
