2.London taxis,with their friendly drivers who actually know where they are going,are ranked best in the world,according to an annual taxi survey.
The survey by travel website hotels.com found London taxis,despite being the most expensive,beat rivals (對(duì)手) across the globe to head the list for the third consecutive (連續(xù)的) years,scoring a total of 59percent in votes on several categories by travelers.
London taxi drivers were voted both friendliest and most knowledgeable.Drivers in the English capital must pass a rigorous examination called The Knowledge to earn their taxi license.
New York's yellow taxis came second in the list,scoring 27percent which was up 10percentage points from last year even though Manhattan's cab drivers tied (打成平局) with Parisian taxi drivers as the rudest.
Travelers said New York had the most convenient taxis.
Taxi drivers in Rome were voted the worst drivers in the world with almost one in ten travelers thinking the Italian capital had the world's worst taxi drivers when it came to the quality of driving.
"Traveling by taxi is one of the first experiences that many travellers have upon arrival in a new city.In fact,the research found that cabs are by far the most popular method of traveling from the airport to their hotel,"a spokesman for hotels.com said in a statement.
The global survey scored city based taxis for their levels of cleanliness,value,quality of driving,knowledge of the area,friendliness,safety and convenience.
Rounding out the top five were Tokyo with a total score of 26percent,Berlin with 17percent,and Bangkok famed for its tuktuks scoring 14percent.
The survey for hotels.com,part of the Expedia group,was conducted among over 1,900travellers between May 1128this year.

10.Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized(工業(yè)化) nations.They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000years ago.(66)C
The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly.Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses.(67)E  So they are called"diseases of civilization(文明)".Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.
Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco,probably none.(68)BHowever,a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.
Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat,which had much less fat than domestic(家養(yǎng)的) ones.They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits.They did not have milk or any other dairy products,and they made very little use of grains.(69)D We eat six times more salt than our ancestors.We eat more sugar.We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.
(70)FBut scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did,cutting the  amount of fatty,salty and sweet food.

A.Stone Age people lived a simple life.
B.But today,we enjoy eating a lot of these.
C.In that case(那樣的話),they would live much healthier.
D.Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.
E.These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.
F.People today probably don't want to live like our ancestors.
G.Modern people used to suffer from"diseases of civilization".
