問題詳情：
Britain’s high streets are dying slowly
Twenty years ago, the prosperous high street(繁華商業區) was the heart of most cities. It was crowded with customers. __36__ Nowadays, high streets are declining, with very few shops and shoppers. With about 14 shops down every day, Britain’s high streets are dying little by little.
__37__ It’s fairly easy to understand. To start with, people are spending less because of the economic recession(衰退). On top of that, more and more people are using the Internet to do their shopping. And it is not easy for shopkeepers in the high streets, either. __38__ Finally, there are the out-of-town retail parks with free car parking that sell just about everything at very low prices.
What can be done? Prime Minister David Cameron has hired Mary Portas, a British business woman and star of TV show Mary Queen of Shops, to bring some life back into Britain’s high streets. She's talked about creating “magnets(磁石)” to attract people back to the centre. ___39___ In one town, a bicycle rickshaw(人力車) service is delivering people's shopping to their homes. __40__, where children can be cared for while parents are shopping.
Members of the public have also voiced their opinions. “My ideal shopping center is one where there’s a wide selection of attractive looking shops, with cheap parking and good public transport links,” said a 28-year-old man. “I’d like to see Night Shopping evenings where shops are open through to 10 pm or later,” said a 22-year-old girl.
