A new study out of Columbia University reveals a downside of these services. I

28、t turns out that ridesharing trips cause an increase in the number of accidents involving motorists and pedestrians at pick-up and drop-off locations.Previous studies on the relationship between ridesharing services and vehicle crashes compare cities where ridesharing services are available with cit

29、ies where they are not, and this makes results somewhat ambiguous. In this study researchers analyze individual trips to make the picture a little clearer.Researchers analyzed data from 372 million ridesharing trips in New York City between 2017 and 2018. Whenever a crash occurred in the city, they

30、calculated the number of ridesharing trips that began or ended in the area at the time of the accident. They compared this with the number of trips that took place in the same location one week before and one week after the crash. Researchers did the same calculations for regular taxi rides as part

31、of their analyses. Also, separate analyses were performed based on the type of people injured in the crash: pedestrians, motorists or cyclists.The results of the analyses show that the rise in ridesharing trips is associated with an increase in the number of accidents involving pedestrians and motor

32、ists, but not cyclists. Furthermore, they did not find this same association between taxi trips and accidents.“Ridesharing is changing the way we move around cities/ says first author Christopher Morrison. /zlt is becoming clear that the technology reduces alcohol-related crashes, but these benefits

33、 do not seem to extend to the overall number of crashes. These findings help explain why that might be- because the reductions in alcohol-related crashes are offset （抵消）by increases in other types of crashes.”Researchers hope that cities and ridesharing services will use the results of this study to

34、 take measures that might reduce the number of crashes. zzln crowded areas with large numbers of rideshare pick-ups and drop-offs, cities could consider building taxi-rank style infrastructure （基础设施）to protect pedestrians and prevent crashes, ''concludes Morrison.28. What do we know about pr

39、ecember and early January a massive amount of plastic packaging is discarded （丢弃）worldwide. In Britain alone households generate 30% more waste, an extra 3m tonnes, in the month over Christmas. Most is destined for landfill. Lithuania will do less damage than many, though. The country now recycles a

40、t a record level. Almost three- quarters （74%） of plastic packaging waste was recycled there in 2017, the highest proportion in Europe.Much of Lithuania1 s success is due to a deposit refund scheme （方案）.Customers pay 0.10 extra when buying drinks containers. After use, these can be fed into reverse

41、vending machines （反向自动售货 机）installed in shops, which spit the deposit back out. The machines' contents are sent directly to recycling centers. By the end of 2017, 92% of all bottles and cans sold in Lithuania were being returned. The overall plastic packaging recycling rate increased by almost 2

42、0%.The Lithuanian government says the scheme has fueled a potential love for recycling in its citizens. Nearly 90% of Lithuanians have used the machines at least once. However; Lithuanians do not generally describe themselves as eco-fighters. A 2017 survey by the European Commission found they were

43、less likely than most other Europeans to regard environmental issues as “very important”.The eagerness of Lithuanian recyclers may stem not from a love of the Earth but from a low net worth（资本净值）.A tenth of the population live on less than 245 a month. In big cities it is common to see people scoopi

44、ng recyclable items out of bins to take to the machines.Less litter and money for people who need it seems like a win-win. But it might not in fact be best for the environment in the long run. In Germany -where a similar; widely used refund deposit scheme has been in place since 2003 - the earnings

45、from keeping the deposits from unreturned bottles seem to have discouraged producers from switching to more sustainable packaging.32. What might most Lithuanian customers do under the deposit refund scheme?A. They send their drinks containers directly to recycling centers.B. They spend more on drink

46、s than other European customers.C. They return their used drinks containers.D. They use vending machines to buy drinks.33. What did the 2017 survey find out?A.
