One of London 2012's promises
to
the
local community is to be mindful of the effects of construction on the environment and on the people living around the Olympic Park.
Before we start working on the Olympic Park site，we produced a report called the Environment Statement which was part of the approved planning application for the Olympic Park.The Environment Statement mainly focused on the following aspects: the likely significant effects of the Olympic Park project on the environment and the measures necessary to manage its effects.The report took issues such as air quality，noise，ecology，water quality，flooding and transport into consideration.
As part of the report，we also began to carry out several surveys
to
understand
fully
the
existing
environmental conditions on the site.These included surveys of plants and animals，noise，water and air quality.
We have recorded noise and dust levels around the Olympic Park and will publish our results on the website.We are taking measures to help manage and control dust and noise levels across the site.
We are protecting the waterways which run around and through the Park from the effects of construction.For example，we are storing chemicals and oils offsite so that they do not pollute the waterways.
We have relocated a number of wild birds and other animals to new habitats so they will not be affected by the construction.They will be brought back to the area after the construction ends.
We have also produced a Code of Construction Practices which contractors must follow for any construction activity in the Park.It includes information about working hours and how to manage the effects of construction like noise and dust.
Note：
contractor n．承包商

Researchers from France and Italy discovered that Canadian parents are less strict with their children than mothers and fathers in France and Italy.
“Our most important finding was the difference between Canadians and the others，” said Professor Michel Claes，the lead author of the study.“Canadians focus on independence and negotiation.On the other hand，Italians，for example，exercise more control.We found Canadians seem to focus on negotiation in case of a conflict.”
Claes said Canada，France and Italy were selected for the study because they share important cultural and social factors.“We chose FrenchCanadians because they share the same language as France，and originally came from France and share certain values.Italy was included because it was considered to have similar，strong and important family values，” he explained.
The researchers examined the emotional ties between parents and their children by questioning 1,256 students aged 11 to 19 years old.
Canadian students reported less control and more free actions，according to the study.Italian parents were stricter and French parents were somewhere in the middle.
Claes explains that the differences lie in education in Canada，France and Italy.
“North America has its own educational values，which promote individualization.Tolerance and comprehension are encouraged.Italy，on the other hand，promotes respect of authority，control，and the need for permission，” he said.
Children from all three countries described their mothers as warm and communicative.Italian and Canadian children had similar feelings about their fathers，and reported high levels of emotional ties.But French fathers were generally thought by their children to be more distant and cold.
“We were surprised by this，” Claes admitted.“It seems as though the relationships between French mothers and their children were becoming closer over time，while fathers maintain a form of distance and coldness，which is more of a source of conflict in France than in the other countries.”
Note：
individualization n．个性化
