[1] Nowadays the cost of a new car has fallen in real terms so that it is cheaper than ever to own one, and better road conditions have also attracted more drivers. The result is overcrowding on the road system, which is one of the problems the local governments are faced with.
[2] When people travel to other towns, the problem might be relieved by getting them to park outside the town. Buses could be provided to take them into the centre. These Park and Ride projects are increasingly popular in the UK. At Southerton, for example, a council-funded project led to a 15% drop in city centre traffic over five months.
[3] What the council found, though, was that the project proved somewhat unpopular with shop owners in the area outside the centre. Many of their shops relied on passing car drivers for some of their trade. As the number of people driving past dropped, so did their incomes.
[4] Making car driving expensive is another way of ____________. Road taxes tend to mean that people use their cars less. Fining drivers who are in areas where cars have been banned can also tend to encourage them to leave their cars behind.
[5] However, one thing has to be got right for any solution to succeed. If we expect people to give up the habit of driving, we must give them an alternative they can rely on. Constant delays, unannounced changes to the timetable and sudden cancellations all discourage people from using public transport. People will only see it as a real choice if the buses and trains are on time.

   As an old saying goes, "Surround yourself with the people you want to be like. " 【小题1】 Here are four signs that you are surrounded by good friends who care about you but not just what you can do for them!

Your friends care about you.

【小题3】They also take time to be there when you need them, and want to help you be the best person you can be.

You feel like your friends have your best interests at heart.

You may not always agree with what your friends say or their perceptions of a situation. 【小题4】 This can be a tricky line to walk, and sometimes you should ignore the advice of others. Nevertheless, a good friend will be less worried about sparing your feelings than looking out for you.

Your friends check in on you.

Good friends care about the people close to them. If they don't hear from you periodically, they will pick up the phone or even send an email, "Dude, where you at?Everything okay?"This doesn't mean they constantly worry about you, because sometimes people get sick or busy and life happens. 【小题5】

   More primary care doctors in a community (社区) appear to lead to improved life expectancy for people living there,though a lack of such physicians across U.S. could be a cause of concern for overall population health in years to come.

For the study, researchers looked at physician counts per 100,000 people in a range covering 2005 to 2015 in the U. S.,along with life expectancy and specific causes of death. They found that an increase of 10 primary care physicians per 100,000 population was associated with a 51. 5-day increase in life expectancy, while an increase of 10 specialty physicians per 100, 000 population increased life expectancy by 19. 2 days. An increase in primary care physicians also was associated with reductions of many deaths including heart diseases and cancers.

Along with those findings, though, the study said many communities did not have primary care physicians in 2015,with the decline in supply more prominent in rural areas than their urban areas. Many believe that a well-functioning health care system requires a solid foundation of primary care, however, payment difference between primary care and technical specialties continue to dispirit the U. S. primary care physician workforce.

“Higher pay and lifestyle preferences lead most students to choose non-primary care fields, even when their hearts say primary care,” the study said. “We must turn this trend around with practical changes in physician payment policy; no amount of superb primary care training or creative practice reform will prevent further declines in primary care physician, which will lead to worsening health for the United States. ”

The study’s researchers conclude that future research should focus on the “quality and cover of primary care,types of primary care physician training and service offerings, and effective access rather than just supply”.
