Manners nowadays in big cities like London are particularly non-existent. It’s 21 for a big, strong schoolboy to push an elderly woman aside for the last 22 seat on the bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her, as he ought to. In fact, it is a 23 to note that if a man does offer his seat to an older woman, it is nearly always a man of the older 24 .

This question of 25 seats in public transport is much argued by young men, who say that, since women have claimed 26 , they no longer deserve to be treated 27 and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rat race like anyone else. Women have never claimed to be 28 as strong as men. Even if it’s not 29 that young men should stand up for older women, however, the fact remains that good manners should be shown to the old, the 30 and the burdened. Are we really so lost to all ideals of 31 that we can sit there calmly reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves “First come, first served”, while a gray-haired woman, or a mother with a young child stands? 32 this is too often seen.

Older people, tired and easily 33 from a day’s work, aren’t angels, either. Many a sudden argument or a fierce quarrel 34 as the tired people push and pull each other to get on buses or tubes.

If cities are to remain pleasant places to 35 in at all, however, it seems necessary, not only that communication in 36 should be improved, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and 37 . Shop assistants won’t bother to 38 , taxi drivers shout at each other as they drive dangerously round corners, bus conductors pull the bell 39 their desperate passengers have had time to get on or off the bus, and so on. It seems to us that it’s up to the young and strong to do their small 40 to stop such “worsening”.

A

Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. To this end, we walk the dog, play golf, go fishing, sit in the garden, drink outside rather than inside the pub, have a picnic, live in the suburbs, go to the seaside, buy a weekend place in the country. The most popular free time activity in Britain is going for a walk. And when joggers jog, they don’t run the streets. Every one of them automatically heads to the park or the river. It is my firm belief that not only do we all need nature, but we all seek nature, whether we know we are doing so or not.

But despite this, our children are growing up nature-deprived (丧失). I spent my boyhood climbing trees. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.

The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD (多动症). Those whose housing had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.
