One measure of a robust transportation system is the diversity of travel modes. US cities are dominated by a single mode: the private car. On average, each person in the US cities sampled in 1990 logged 10,870 kilometers (6，750 miles ) of city driving more than a round trip across North America. Growth in car use in the US cities between 1980 and 1990 was 2,000 kilometers per person, nearly double the increase in the Canadian cities, which have the next highest driving level. In industrial countries, urban car use has tended to rise as population density has declined. US cities have led the trend toward dispersed, low-density development. Between 1983 and 1990. the average roundtrip commute to work in the United States grew 25%, to 17 kilometers (11 miles). As cities sprawl, cars become essential while transit, bicycling, and walking become less practical. Compact Asian and European cities thus have the highest levels of non-motorized transport.

As car use rises, car-related problems mount. Fatal crashes, for example, increase. The exception is cities in developing countries, where low car use is offset by poor signals and safety regulations. Nonetheless, highly car-reliant US cities exceed even developing Asian cities in per capital traffic fatalities. Worldwide, traffic accidents kill some 885,000 people each year -equivalent to 10 fatal jumbo jet crashes per day – and injure many times more.

Sdemists continue to find new ways to insert genes for specific traits into plant and animal DNA. A field of promise- and a subject of debate- genetic engineering is changing the food

we eat and the world we live in.

Just what are genetically engineered foods, and who is eating them? What do we know about their benefits— and their risks? What effect might engineered plants have on the environment and on agricultural practices around the world? Can they help feed and preserve the health of the Earth’s burgeoning population?

In the past decade or so, the biotech plants that go into these processed foods have leaped from hothouse oddities to crops planted on a massive scale— on 130 million acres in 13 countries, among them Argentina, Canada, China, South Africa, Australia, Germany, and Spain. On U.S. farmland, acreage planted with genetically engineered crops jumped nearly 25-fold from 3.6 million acres in 1996 to 88.2 million acres in 2001. More than 50 different “designer” crops have passed through a federal review process, and about a hundred more are undergoing field trials.

国科学家在沿海省份大面积试验用海水灌溉农作物，以供养众多的人口，这些人口面临 土地匮乏、淡水短缺的压力。早在20世纪90年代，在沿海地区（包括山东省，河北省， 广东省和海南省）的近300,000公顷的盐碱地和滩涂上，种的不是小麦、水稻，就是油料 作物，这在全世界都是不曾有过的。人们相信，发展海水灌概农业是增加农田和降低灌溉 费用的有效途径。中国人口占世界总人口的五分之一，而可利用的耕地面积只占世界总耕 地面积的7%。另一方面，海水灌溉对中国这样一个人均淡水占有量只占世界人均淡水占 有量四分之一的国家，将大有裨益。自古以来，几乎所有的农作物都得用淡水灌溉。然而， 随着杂交技术和基因技术的发展，中国的科学家培育出了—组能在盐碱环境中生长的盐土 植物。
