23、the young people in these communities graduate from high school and don*t come back. They go to college, whatever, they dont come back,“ said David Bridges, head of its Center for Rural Prosperity and Innovation in Tifton.Meanwhile, Georgias cities are growing, having no problem drawing people from

Atlanta grew more than 1% in the past year and is now nearing the half-million-resident mark.The trend of people moving from rural to urban areas is hardly a new one-ifs been going on worldwide for more than a century. But continued population losses have raised questio

25、ns about whether rural areas can do anything to reveise the tide.Rural residents can face a number of challenges including access to good jobs, transportation and health care.

31、w.D. Others will follow the lead of these bright spots.CThe other day, my sister and I were sitting in the restaurant, trying to have a conversation, but her children, four-year-old Willow and seven-year -old Luca, would not stop fighting. The arguments-over a fork, or who had more water in a glass-

32、never stopped.Then my sister reached into her handbag, produced two shiny iPads, and handed one to each child. Suddenly, the two were quiet. They sat playing games and watching videos, and we continued with our conversation.After our meal, as my sister stuffed the iPads back into her bag, she said,

33、I dont want to give them the iPads at the dinner table, but if they keep them occupied for an hour so we can eat in peace, I often just hand them over. I am afraid that its bad for them. I do worry that it makes them think its OK to use electronics at the dinner table in the future.1Dr. Gary Small,

34、director of the Longevity Center at the University of California, Los Angeles says that the brain is highly sensitive to stimuli （刺激物）,like iPads and smartphone screen, and if people spend too much time on one technology, and less time interacting （互动）with people like parents at the dinner table, th

35、at could prevent the development of certain communication skills.nConversations with each other are the way children leam to have conversations with themselves, and learn how to be alone/ said Sherry Turkic, a professor of science, technology and society at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

36、 She fears that children who do not learn real interactions, which often have imperfections, will come to know a world where perfect, shiny screens give them a false sense of intimacy （亲密） without risk.

40、nic devices.DWhen I was a child, I often saw my Grandma throwing bread that was no longer fresh to birds. Not surprisingly, this attracted few birds. Later on, we discovered bird food at the local store. Feeding garden birds in the UK has come a long way since then. Today, the birds can enjoy many k

41、inds of food: from plant seeds to sunflower hearts and from cakes to meat balls. All this comes at a huge cost of about 200m a year. Sometimes, I wonder if we might be feeding oui ga】den birds better than our kids. But maybe its worth it, Our generosity is having an important effect on the behavior

42、and even evolution （进化）of these birds.Take the goldfinch for example. In the 1960s, this was a rare bird. Today, goldfinches can be seen in many gardens. Other new visitors include the sotted woodpecker, which has left its usual woodland for food on bird tables. Evolution is meant to progress slowly

43、: over thousands of years. Yet during the past few decades, the beaks （鸟喙）of many kinds of birds have become longer because birds with longer beaks can get more food, and then are more likely to live on.Actually, the British habit of feeding garden birds goes back much further. During the sixth cent

44、ury, St Serf of Fife fed a robin in his garden; during the winter of 1890, workers in London were seen giving their lunches to songbirds. The real change took place in the 1980s, when a few farsighted businessmen realized that encouraging the British to be more generous to garden birds can help them

45、 make money. Therefore, various kinds of bird food and modern bird feeders were produced. As a result, the number of species using garden feeding stations increased very quickly, from about 10 to over 100. Then, in 2005, Springwatch came, which turned our love of garden birds into an entertainment s

46、how,Is bird feeding completely good for birds? Not everyone thinks so, Studies by the Zoological Society of London have shown that by bringing together many birds, bird feeders may help the spread of disease. In Australia, some bird experts believe-probably wrongly-that bird feeding creates a ndepen

47、dence culture.But we shouldnt forget one major benefit of feeding garden birdsit connects millions of people to the natural world. This is especially important for people who seldom reach the wider countryside. As I write this, there comes some noise outside my window: several birds were singing and

48、 flying around in my garden. Its a sight I could only imagine years ago, when feeding garden birds just meant throwing hard bread to them.42.
