阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填

一个单词。

For thousands of years ’ the most important two buildings in any British village have been the

church and the pub. In fact,until a place has a church and a pub,it isn ’ t really considered a

community worthy of a name. Traditionally,the church and the pub are at the heart of any village

or town, since it is where people gather to give and receive news. In fact, the word ‘ pub' is short

for 4 public house'.

That's how it used to be, but things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit

decline is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People don ’ t have lots of spare

money to spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned smoking in all pubs, and that may

also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.

This decline is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the UK government started to allow

pubs to stay open after 11 p. m. Previously,with 11 p. m. as closing time,customers would have

to drink quite quickly,meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink

slowly. The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as,binge drinking ’ (狂饮),

and it causes some long - term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for

??communities. The UK government is changing the law to discourage binge drinking, and regularly

spends money on television advertisements to warn people of the problems of drinking too much.

In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market. Now, there are

a number of different types of pubs.

As you can see, British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be

working men' s clubs, meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can

freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. Perhaps things are changing for the

better after alL

What causes traffic jams? Too many cars,right? No! Some Brits are now saying that trafficlights are to blame for much of the congestion.

They suggest that traffic lights be removed at busy roads.They believe people are a better judge of when it’s safe to go,not a traffic light programmed by an absent regulator.

A report from the Institute of Economic Affairs,a UK think tank(智囊团),argues that

abolishing traffic signals would decrease congestion,reduce exhaust(废气)emissions(排放)and improve safety.

The report said that removing lights should also prevent other bad behavior caused by signals.such、as speeding up to catch a green light It would also avoid the wasted time when drivers have to sit at a red light even if no one is using the green

The idea may sound strange,but it’s not new.Seven cities and regions in Europe are experimenting with no-lights roads.

Drachten in the Netherlands has gotten rid of 16 of its traffic light crossings and changed the other two to roundabouts under a“shared space”scheme.At crossings, cyclists dutifully raise their arm when they want to make a turn,and drivers follow a first.arrived,first.through approach and communicate by hand signs,nods and waving.The result? Typical journey time has been cut in half and accidents and congestion have mostly disappeared.

There have been small collisions but no problem,said Hans Monderman,creator of the scheme.“We want small accidents,in order to prevent serious ones.It works well because it’s dangerous.The driver has to be responsible for his or her own risk

 “The many rules take away the ability to be considerate”Monderman added.“We’re losing our responsibility for socially responsible behavior.”

 So far,Drachten’s locals have called the experiment a success.“I am used to it now,”said Helena Spaanstra.24.“You drive more slowly and carefully.but somehow you seem to get around town quicker.

    Tony Ooostward,70,was equally enthusiastic.“I am a walker and now you are the boss at the crossroads,everyone waits for you.But at the same time walkers wait until there are a number of people wanting to cross at the same time.”

    Owen Paterson,UK’s Shadow Transport Minister。visited Drachten.He said Britain should learn from the model.“The idea is to create space where there is mild anxiety among everyone so they all behave cautiously.No one drives fast along a busy street thinking that they have right of way.”

The model is being tested in London’s Kensington neighborhood.
