Hundreds of the vast blocks had been built before anyone began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not. Are they suitable places for people, children especially, to live in？ A well-known British architect, who personally designed many of these buildings, now believes that the high-rises may well make those people who have been housed in them suffer a great deal.
Evidence has been collected by social workers, which suggests that people do suffer. They complain about severe loneliness and deep depression living within these great towers. People also talk about lack of communication with others, no easy access to a playground for children, no chances for adults to get familiarized with each other. Many people say that they have lived next door to each other for years in the same building, but they never know who their neighbors are. Some experts say that a large number of people living in the high-rises suffer from mental disorder and even developed criminal tendencies. As a result of these new discoveries, plans for new high-rise blocks are being reconsidered. We Chinese are now building up many high-rises in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Perhaps we should also reconsider the idea too.
There was a big housing problem after the Second World War ______.
A．in London
B．in the rural areas
C．in many big cities
D．in many countries

听力原文： New York City is the largest city in the United States. Unlike most American cities, which make up only a part of a particular county, New York City is made up of five separate counties, which are called boroughs. They are Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx and Staten Island.
Manhattan, or New York County, is the smallest of the five boroughs, covering an area of 59.5 sq km (23 sq mi). It is the glittering heart of the metropolis. It is the site of virtually all of the hundreds of skyscrapers that are the symbol of the city. Among the more famous of these are the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and Citicorp Center. The 110-story twin towers of the World Trade Center were also among New York's famous skyscrapers until they were destroyed in a terrorist attack in 2001.
Manhattan is the center of New York's cultural life. Numerous stage and motion picture theaters are located around Broadway in Midtown, which includes Times Square. The borough is the home of prominent music and dance organizations, such as the New York City Opera Company, the Metropolitan Opera Association, American Bailer Theatre, and the New York City Ballet.
In 1945, the United States Congress invited the United Nations to establish its permanent headquarters in the United States. Completed in 1952, the UN complex sits in Manhattan, alongside the East River, in the city of New York.

Yet, he was known by other residents as the meanest man in the village. A fellow villager, who had known him for more than fifty years, said, "He never spent money on himself. He never bought a new suit and he even mended his shoes with sticky tape rather than buy a new pair." A woman villager added, "He got the greatest pleasure from doing his account books. He worked on them for hours. We thought he was planning to take his money with him."
Mr. Worboys died in October at the age of 85, and yesterday his will became known. He left ＄175,000 for building houses for his former employees, ＄3,000 for a new village bus shelter. The rest of his estate, more than ＄200,000, went to charity.

M: I didn't read the article, but I'm not surprised. The old proverb says lightning never strikes twice in the same place. But it seems to me that if the conditions for lightning to strike are right one time, they might be just as good another time.
W: Well, I don't take any chances. If I'm caught in a thunderstorm, I look for shelter in a building or a closed car since lightning is supposed to be attracted to the tallest or sharpest object in the area. Also, I was told that if you're stuck outdoors, the best thing you can do is to keep yourself close to the ground and avoid bodies of water. Apparently, lightning is especially attracted to water.
M: To tell you the truth, even when I'm at home I don't take baths or showers during a thunderstorm. I unplug my television and I don't use any appliances or talk on the telephone. I just avoid using anything that works electrically. Maybe I'm too nervous about these things though.
W: I wouldn't say that, According to the article, lightning starts thousands of fires every year in the United States alone. Hundreds of people are injured or even killed by lightning, and millions of dollars worth of property gets damaged. I think you're just being sensible.
What are the man and woman discussing？
A．A weather forecast.
B．Information in a news article.
C．A friend's experience.
D．Details from a recent lecture.
