The world has become a world of cities. With the present rate of urban growth(3. 8% in the Third World) , the majority of the population of the world will be living in cities by the year 2000. This will transform the rural-urban equation which has marked the history of mankind up to now and will call for new example and a great deal of innovation to face this phenomenon. This being so, one must accept the fact that for some years to come, no policy will be capable of stopping or reversing the present migratory trend from the rural areas to the cities in the Third World. In Africa, the urban population will reach 330 million people by the end of the century as against 150 million in 1995. The number of people living in shanty-towns (贫富窟) will inevitably increase in spite of the efforts to improve housing conditions. Africa alone needs to build 12 million housing units between now and the year 2000 to meet its most basic needs. In an ILO study, M. S. V. Sethuraman estimates that in 70 Third "World cities the proportion of people living in shanty-towns varies from 15% to 70% and that about US $ 116 billion is required to give minimum comfort to these people by the turn of the century—less than US $ 10 billion per year. The world population is growing at a rate of about 90 million people per year, with the Third World accounting for 80 million of them. The pressure on cities can only go on increasing. The urban population of the developing countries will exceed 2 billion people by the year 2000 and since the main reason for the high demographic (人口统计的) growth is poverty, the additional population will be mostly made of people of very limited means. If the urban population of the developing countries exceeds 2 billion people by the year 2000, the main problem the additional people will face is______.
A.housing
B.food
C.poverty
D.limited land
First of all, people spend less time working now than they used to, mostly due to the introduction of new industrial technology. The normal British working week is Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., although some people regularly work a few hours' overtime each week. Secondly, all working people get a minimum of two weeks' paid holiday a year. In addition, there are six or more bank holidays a year when all banks and businesses are closed. In some cases the dates of these national holidays change from year to year and in different parts of Britain.
Another reason is that, thanks to modern medicine and higher living standards, people live longer now. This means that after retirement, people have quite a few years of leisure left. Nowadays a much higher proportion of the population is over sixty, but in this group there are more women than men.
Finally, fewer babies are born each year and the average family in Britain has two children. This is one result of changing social attitudes. For example, many more married women now go out to work. The money they earn influences their leisure time. Even married women who do not go out to work have more time for interesting hobbies because most British homes have washing machines, vacuum cleaners and other labor-saving gadgets.
The best title of this passage can be ____.
A. Time for relax
B. Time for refreshment
C. British working hour

听力原文：W: In Britain we are often told that people are leaving the big cities to live in the countryside but is this tile case worldwide？
M: Not at all. If you look at the biggest cities in 1950, seven out of the top ten were in the developed countries. However, by the year 2000, the developing countries will have eight out of the top ten.New York, which in 1950 was number one with a population of around 12 million, will only be the sixth largest city in the world with an extra of 2 million.
W: And London？
M: London, which was number two, won't even be in the top ten. Its population in 1950 was about 10 million.
W: Why is this happening？ Why are people moving to tile big cities from the country in developing countries？
M: The reasons are complex but many are moving to look for jobs. And the problems this creates are enormous. Just imagine the kinds of difficulties this is going to cause in terms of health, transport and education.
W: Yes. What about the cities of Asia？ Will they be experiencing a similar sort of growth？
M: In some cases, yes. Calutta in India which was No. 10 in the league in 1950 is expected to be the fourth biggest city in the world with a population of 16 million, four times in its size in just 50 years.
W: What about Japan？
M: Ah! Well, Tokyo was number three in 1950; at the beginning of the next century, its population will increase by 18 million, three times of the year 1950.Looking at the other major cities in Asia, Shanghai and Seoul will be in the top ten as well but, perhaps surprisingly, not Beijing or Hong Kong.
