influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and
more important to camp unobtrusively (不引人注目的) and leave no mark.
Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are,
find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on
camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland, but in England
you must ask the landowner"s permission, except in national parks.
Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without
modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite (野营地) seems to go against this, so seek out smaller,
more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no
road access: Walking in makes a real adventure.
Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night"s sleep. Choose a campsite with
privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously
camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees. Which
may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you
have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always
consider what influence you might have on the nature word. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found,
not made-changing it should be unnecessary.

If they do not have enough cash or a working credit card, their vehicles will clamped (扣留) until they
pay law takes effect, because the money would be returned if the driver went to court and was found not
guilty. In practice, very few foreign drives are likely to return to Britain to deal with their eases.
Foreign drivers are rarely charged because police cannot take action against them if they fail to appear
in court, Instead, officers often merely give warnings.
Three million foreign-registered vehicles enter Britain each year. Polish vehicles s make up 36 percent,
French vehicles 10 percent and German vehicles 9 percent.
Foreign vehicles are 30 percent more vehicles entre Britain each year. Polish vehicles make up 36 percent.
French crashes caused by foreign vehicle rose by 47 percent between 2003 and 2008. There were almost
400 deaths and serious injuries and 3,000 slight injuries form accidents caused by foreign vehicles in 2008.
The new Law is party intended to settle the problem of foreign lorry drivers ignoring limits to weight and
hours at the wheel. Foreign Lorries are three times more likely to be in a crash than British Lorries. Recent

hours" are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week
have become irrelevant (不相关的). A half century ago in the United states, most people experienced strong
and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the
boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.
The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used
to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week
should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more "flexible" is often debated. How should
we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we
live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?
These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the "law of
time" even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number
of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years-but unless we meet the truant officer (学监),
we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents" demand rather than to the
law. As adults we are familiar with "extra pay for overtime working.", but less familiar with the fact that what
constitutes (构成) "overtime" is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight-
saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves; "Here is the law in action"? As we shall see, there is a lot of
law that has great influence on how organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and
daylight-saving law-as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on.
Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.

variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what"s happening in their lives. When groups of
men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can
either talk or watch the screen-they can"t do both-and they don"t understand that women can. Besides,
women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships-not
just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.
During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship
between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that
reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other
women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to
maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships
and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.
Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but
a woman sees it as a means of bonding. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend
and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.
There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls" mothers talked them more,
is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author of Social Behavior and
Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more
often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias of their children. Since
a girl"s brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we therefore talk to them more. Consequently,
mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply.

C. think they can have a good time and develop relationships

to _____.

B. Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.
C. Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts.
D. Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.

C. Women Love to Talk
D. Men Talk Differently from Women
