[简答题] A survey of 25 cities, produced for the US Conference of Mayors in 2003, reported that families make up 40% of the homeless population. Nationally, the situation is even worse. In 2000, the Urban Institute found that children under the age of 18 make up 39% of homeless people. Tragically, some estimates indicate that youth are the fastest-growing segment of those without homes. These kids and teens face incredible obstacles in all aspects of their lives, including their education. As the National Coalition for the Homeless notes, "School is one of the few stable, secure places in the lives of homeless children and youth — a place where they can acquire the skills needed to help them escape poverty." But despite many successful efforts to improve their access to schooling, homeless youth continue to face financial, bureaucratic, and practical barriers to getting a quality education.

[简答题] According to a survey in the US, age and gender have great influence on the frequency of heart attacks.
Less than 6% of all heart attacks occur in the 29 to 44 age group. The number of women who suffer heart attacks in this group is negligible(微不足道的)——only 3000 per year, compared to 123,000 men.
However the proportion of men and women with heart attacks rises dramatically between 45 and 64, with over half a million per year. Over 420,000 men a year in this age group have heart attacks. The incidence amongst women increases——women have one heart attack for every three men in this age group.
Over the age of 65, the number of men suffering heart attacks only increases slightly. However there is a huge increase in the number of women with heart attacks——they comprise over 40% of all victims.
From the survey, it is clear that men are more likely to be the victims of heart attacks at all ages, but women are increasingly likely over the age of 60.
