In China, many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities, because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn’t much work there. Services such as hospital and transport (交通) are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city. But in the big cities of Europe like London or Pads, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt (尘土) of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don’t want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there. So they move out of the cities. Some don’t go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends. Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don’t make so much money and there isn’t much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and aren’t always very friendly. As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. "It’s wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights," they say. 小题1:Which is NOT the reason for people moving to the cities in China?A.The countryside is much poorer than me city. | B.People in the countryside have nothing to eat. | C.People in the countryside don’t have much work to do there. | D.Services in cities are usually much better than those in the countryside. | 小题2:Why do some rich families in Europe move to the countryside?A.Because they will find good jobs. | B.Because they are tired of living in the city. | C.Because they can make more money there. | D.Because they like feeding sheep and cows in the green fields. | 小题3:After moving to the countryside, some people in Europe feel unhappy.

这篇短文主要谈论的是生活在城市好还是生活在乡下好的问题,作者通过一些具体的例子说明了人们的这种矛盾心理,没有给出具体结论。 小题1:B。根据短文第一段描述,可知选项B不属于人们移居到城市的原因,农村人没有吃的东西。 小题1:B。根据These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of (厌倦) the noise and the dirt of the city, 描述可知选B。 小题1:D。根据倒数第二段,两三年后,许多这样做的人发现那是一个巨大的错误,及下文描述可知选D,并不是所有从城市移居到乡下的人都是幸福的。 小题1:A。根据倒数第二段可知许多城市居住的人厌倦了乡下的生活,所以此句说他们很高兴的回到了城市,故选A。 小题1:C。这篇短文主要谈论的是生活在城市好还是生活在乡下好的问题,故选C,(从城市中)搬出去还是搬进来。 |

In Britain you may often hear “Drop in any time” or “Come to see me soon”, but you can’t really do that. People just say those things to make you feel welcome. It is better to telephone before visiting someone at home. If you receive a written invitation to an event that says “RSVP”, you should reply to let the person who sent the invitation know whether or not you plan to go. You should never accept an invitation unless you really plan to go. You may refuse by saying, “Thank you for inviting me, but I will not be able to come.” If, after accepting, you are unable to go, be sure to tell those who are expecting you as soon as possible that you will not be there. Although it is not necessarily expected that you give a gift to your host, it is considered polite to do so, especially if you have been invited for a meal. Flowers, chocolate, or a small gift are all appropriate(合适的).
