Questionsare based on the following passage．
In London， over half of the homes built between 1919 and 1980 had one garage．But many arebecoming needless．Between 2002 and 2012 the proportion of vehicles kept in garages at night droppedfrom 22% to 14%．This is in part because some households now have more cars than garage space．Butit is also because big modern cars do not fit in older garages， says David Leibling， a transport expert．
Few rust when left outside， and many are more difficult to steal: between 2003 and 2013 the number ofvehicle being stolen in England and Wales fell 76%．Instead， garages now solve a different set ofproblems．
Householders unable to move to larger homes have taken to filling their garages with unnecessaryand unwanted things．Some garages have been converted for aging parents for their convenience， says Paul Bishop， who runs a garage conversion company in Bedfordshire．Also， some young people unableor unwilling to leave home may have an option to live in the garage．In addition， a garage may be rentedto young folks fond of music．It is， more often than not， an ideal place to freely play music．
However， many publicly owned garages lie empty．Of the 6，000 garages owned by Hackney
council， around 40% are free．Over 3，000 garages owned by ten housing associations are unused and the land they take up is unfit for building homes upon， says Steve O"Connell， a councilor at the London Assembly．He thinks they could be turned into small offices．That has already happened in places such as Berlin．
Nevertheless converting garages can be troublesome， says Bill Hodgson of University College London．Few councils are enthusiastic enough to truly support the idea and put it into practice．A recent proposal to turn some garages in north London into shelters for the homeless has been rejected; councillors feared that local residents would not approve．Getting planning permission can be complex，
and developing on local authority land is often faced with various kinds of problems．Like the garages themselves， these plans may be useless and abandoned．
In the viewpoint of David Leibling， many garages are unused for velficles in that__________． 查看材料

Questionsare based on the following passage．
Workers with skills in science， technology， engineering， and mathematics （STEM） are among the mmost in demand and highest paid．They are seen as key drivers of problem-solving and economic growth， who will help shape the future．And most of them are men．Nadya Fouad， a professor of educational psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee， and her colleagues surveyed more than 5，000 women who had graduated from some of the top universities with engineering degrees over the past six decades．They found that 40 percent had either quit the field or never entered the profession in the first place．For more than two decades， women have accounted for about 20 percent of all engineering degrees．Yet fewer than 11 percent of all engineers are women．For the most part， Fouad found that what really pushed women out were uncivil workplace climates， the expectation to put in long hours of face time in the office， and the feeling that there was little opportunity to advance．Of the women who left the field less than five years ago， two-thirds pursued better opportunities in other fields——72 percent became either managers or executives．One-third said they stayed home with children because their companies didn"t settle work-life conflicts．
It is not about making the women more confident or anything．It"s really about the climate in the workplace， Fouad said．Even women who are staying consider leaving because they don"t have superior support．They don"t have training and development opportunities．And their colleagues are not civil to them， look down upon them， or talk behind their backs．The fmdings add weight and context to previous looks at why more women don"t go into or don"t stay in STEM fields．The previous studies tend
to explain that women aren"t "naturally" smart enough， and that these are careers for men．Furthermore， Fouad makes recommendations to create a good work environment．The problem should be recognized that women aren"t leaving just because they want to spend time with their children．They"re leaving because of the difficult workplace climate and lack of opportunity to advance．The company， starting from the managers， is supposed to invest in professional training which is beneficial to the women"s development and advance．
It is commonly believed that STEM workers__________． 查看材料
