But over the past decade, graffiti has all but disappearedfrom Britain s cities. Between 2007 and 2012 the number of incidents of graffiti recorded bythe British Transport Police fell by 63%. A survey by the Environment Ministry shows that fewerplaces are blighted by tags than ever. Graffiti are increasingly confined to sanctioned walls,such as the Stockwell ball courts. In time the practice may die out entirely.The most obvious reason for the decline in tagging and train-painting is better policing.Numerous CCTV cameras mean it is harder to get away with painting illegally. And punishmentsare more severe. A generational shift is apparent, too. Fewer teenagers are getting intopainting walls. They prefer to play with iPads and video games. Some have gone to art schooland want to make money from their paintings. The Internet means that painters can win far moreattention by posting pictures online than they can by breaking into a railway yard.Taggers and graffiti artists mostly grew up in the 1980s and 1990s. Those menand almost allare menare now older and less willing to take risks. Graffiti may eventually disappear. Butfor now the hobby is almost respectable. The former graffiti artists paint abandoned warehousesat the weekend. It has become something to do on a Sunday afternoona slightly healthieralternative to sitting and watching football.1. Teenagers are not afraid of being caught by security guards when they put their names ontrains and buses. 答案 F2. Less tags can be found in public places nowadays. 答案 T3. Because of better policing graffiti decreases. 答案 T4. Some teenagers go to art school in order to learn to paint walls. 答案 F5. Taggers and graffiti artists are still willing to take risks. 答案 F选择题Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory(印第安人保护区) that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim,and play games outdoors. He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education.In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympicgold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old.

The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping andthrowing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and thedecathlon.

It means quietness, privacy, harmonyand peace for me.Living in the country requires an active lifestyle. It involves activities like doing dailychores, preparing firewood for winter heating, feeding animals including pets and livestock,tending the garden, or securing fences, etc. For me, the most attractive activities are fishing,hunting and hiking. I enjoy seeing what nature has to offer everyday through a simple walkdown the little trail, or a relaxing drive along the country road with patches of green grassornamented with wildlife sightings of birds, moose, bears, deer, etc.Living the country life helps us appreciate some of the simpler things, things that make usfeel good about ourselves and the world.

I have participated in a few community projects, like dealing with out-of-control grassfires, a roof that collapsed from a large snow fall, or even helping a recent widow with firewood for the winter. Sometimes I am surprised by how much benefit we receive from helping othersand as for this community I can t say enough.I really enjoy living the country life.

FOR MANY STUDENTSB. A MAJOR BARRIERC. EQUALITY IN ACCESS TO EDUCATIOND. DIFFERENT PEOPLEE. NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENTSThe National Union of Students (NUS) welcomes the news that greater numbers of black and disabledstudents are studying at UK universities, but there is still a lot of work to be done on wideningaccess, writes the union s president, Gemma Tumelty.A recent Department of Communities and Local Government (DCLG) equalities review showed thatsignificant numbers of potential students felt their disability was答案 Bto accessing highereducation (HE) .
