Unit 3 Environment 环境Dialogues and the vast population outflow from cities into rural areas blurred the difference between urban and rural. Thus, a new word-“rurban“-has been coined to describe this condition. Most of us now work indoors or in an office, and even if we are involved in our primary industries, we are far more likely to be staring at a computer than communicating with the landscape. Human life has turned generally into a monoculture by work, sleep, shopping and TV-all actually identical whether performed in town or country.
