6．Although most of Pakistanis live in the countryside，still many Pakistanis live in cities．Karachi has over 5million people and Lahore has over 3million people．Islamabad was built to be Pakistan's capital．The rich city people live in large，air-conditioned houses．
Pakistan has 121，000miles of roads．Bus services and minibuses are available to the public．The trains are still the most common transport of long-distance travel for Pakistanis．Pakistan also has an airline that operates  domestic and international flights．
It is difficult to identify （识别） Pakistani food because the country shares food traditions with its neighbor，India．The main difference between Pakistani and Indian food is that Pakistani food is less spicy （辛辣）．Pakistani dishes are often made with yoghurt （酸奶），which reduces the effect of the hot spices used in cooking．
Wheat is the main food for most of the people．It is eaten in the form of bread named chapattis or roti，together with vegetables in season．Sweet tea，milk，or lassi，a drink made from yoghurt，makes the meal perfect．Those who can afford to buy it eat meat，although in the countryside these are usually festival foods．Goat meat is a favourite．Pakistanis will not eat pork by the way．

5．Taking away a city's rubbish is a big job．Every day trucks come into a city to collect it．Most rubbish is made up of things we can't eat or use．If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish．
In some cities the rubbish is collected and taken outside of city to a dump．Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole．The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the  sewage system．The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets，bathtubs and other places．
To keep mice and flies away，some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish．Later，grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land．Finally，a house or a school may be built there，and then you'd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump．
In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places．The fire burns everything but the metal．Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal．The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus，which looks like black earth．It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help them grow．

In real life，robots are mainly used in factories．They do some dangerous and difficult jobs for humans．

2．In common with many countries，Britain has serious environmental problems．In 1952，more than 4，000people died in London because of the smog．The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot．
Today，London is much cleaner but there is a new problem：smog from cars．In December
1991，there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot．As a result，about 160
people died from pollution in just four days．
Part of the problem is the new‘out of town'shopping centres．In the past，people often walked to shops near their home or went by bus．Now，many people drive to the new shopping centres．As a result，the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping．
Critics say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport．Transport in Britain is very expensive．An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London （about 600km） can cost about
￡100，for example．A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over￡1.00．
Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain．Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work．Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost．
