2、and the overall purchases are divided by two categories:age and,gender.,It is exhibited in the graphs that the pop and rock music CDs are sold,more than classical music.Whats more,as shown from the charts,that men are the bigger consumers compared to their counterpart,women when it comes to music.It
3、 is also worth mentioning that,people ages 16 to 24 and from 35 to 44 are more fond of pop and,rock.On the contrary,those who are older than 45 are more,interested in classical music,and their consumption accounts for 20,%,ranks the first,then the next is 17%consumed by people ages 25,to 34,followed
4、 by 3%and o.5%purchased by those who are 35 to,44 and 16 to 24,respectively.Finally,it must be pointed out that the,biggest buyer of these three kind of music is the group ages 25 to 34.,3,To sum up,younger people are keen on pop and rock,while classical enjoys more popularity among those who are ol
5、der than 45.Nevertheless,people who are from 25 to 34 seem to appreciate all three music types.,4,The bar chart below shows the three main causes of land damage in four different areas.,5,The bar chart shows information about the areas of land damaged,by human activities in four major continents of
6、the world.,The areas of land damage in Africa and Asia are similar,totaling,approximately 1,200 million hectares for each,while in Australia,and Europe the numbers are considerably lower,averaging,between 300 and 400 million.,Looking at the causes behind land damages,it can seen from the,chart that
7、in Africa,Europe and especially Australia,breeding is,the leading cause of land loss,damaging approximately 500,110,and 380 million hectares of land respectively.Next comes tree,cutting which takes away slightly larger areas of land than farming,in all the three regions.,6,Asia shows a slightly diff
8、erent picture,where,tree-cutting activities have led to the largest,amount of land loss(450 million hectares).,Breeding and farming account for the,remaining damage,(380 and 420 million,hectares)respectively.,Overall,breeding causes the most pervasive,damage to land around the world,7,The charts bel

13、million versus 1 million.We also find that the year 1980 divorces and meanwhile,the number of divorces in 2000,To begin with,witnessed the greatest number of,drew even with that in 1970,.,12,第二,纵览另一图表所示的美国成年人婚姻状况,我们看到:决意不结婚者和离婚者在,2000,年的百分比都要高于,1970,年,两组数据的对比分别是,20%:14%,,,9%:3%,。在结婚和丧偶两项上,,1970,年的数据

18、 33%to,10%respectively.Similarly,the percentage of people,taking bus dropped after 1970 but increased before that.,However,cars percentage use sharply boomed year after,year.,17,Traveling by bike or on foot were most popular in 1950,but percentage of car users was much smaller.After two,decades,with
19、 the decrease of bike users and travelers on,foot,bus and car gain a lot of popularity.Bus reached its,peak at 27%.In 1990,over one out of three people drive to,and from work.,All in all,as the economy increases gradually,people,prefer to go to work and come home by driving rather,than taking bus or

29、8-30 and those aged 45-60,and,shows factors affecting their work performance.,26,The bar chart indicates a survey on two different age groups on the factors contributing to make their environment pleasant for working.,These factors are divided into external and internal factors.The internal factors
30、are team spirit,competent boss,respect from colleagues and job satisfaction.The external factors are chance for personal development,job security,promotional prospects and money.,27,On the internal factors above 50%in both age groups agreed that team spirit,competent boss and job satisfaction are es
31、sential to make their environment pleasant.Whereas on the external factors,there are contrasting results.On the chance for personal development and promotional aspects,80%to 90%of the younger groups were in favor while only less than 50%of the older group thought so.A similar pattern is also noted o
32、n job security.With regards to money,69%to 70%on both age group said it is essential.,In conclusion,the internal factors have similar responses from the two age groups while they had dissimilar responses on the external factors.,28,The chart shows the number of mobile phones and landlines per 100 pe

34、es.,Most European countries have high mobile phone use.The biggest users of mobile phones are the Italians,with almost 90 cell phones per 100 people.For example,Italy has twice as many mobile phones as landlines,with 90 mobiles per hundred people compared to 45 for landlines.Mobile phone use is low
35、in Canada,with fewer than 40 phones per 100 people.Denmark is also unusual because it has slightly more landlines than mobile phones.,30,However,in some countries,the number of landlines is higher than the number of mobile phones.One example is the USA,where the number of mobiles,at 50 per 100 peopl
36、e,is much lower than the number of landlines,at almost 70 per hundred.A similar pattern can be seen in Canada.The highest number of landlines in the graph is in Denmark,with about 90 per 100 people.In contrast,the lowest figures for fixed lines are in Italy and the UK.,In conclusion,it seems that mo
