                                     Moving out, moving back
       In the countries all over the world, people are leaving the countryside in large numbers to find jobs in
the cities. They leave because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn't much work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in cities than they are in the country. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.
       But in the big cities of Europe and America-London, Paris, New York, people are moving out of
the city. These are usually families who have some money, and want to live a quieter life. They are tired of
the noise and the dirt of the city, tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don't want
to sit in traffic any more. They want a house with a garden, and clean air that isn't polluted.
       So they move out. 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 and 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 to do. Country people 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 crowded in the streets and cinema lights," they say, "I'm so glad back in the city !"
1. Is there often much work to do in the countryside?
                                                                                   
2. What kind of families are moving out of the city?
                                                                                   
3. What are they tired of about the city? (答兩點(diǎn)即可)
                                                                                    
4. What do they think of the people in the countryside?
                                                                                    
5. What can we learn from the sentences "It's wonderful to see crowded in the streets and cinema lights" ?
                                                                                    
  
1. No, there isn't.  
2. The families who have some money and want to live a quieter life.  
3. The noise, the dirt, the crowded streets, crowded trains, buses and polluted air. (符合上述
任何兩點(diǎn)即可)
4. They are different. And they aren't always very friendly.  
5. They like/love/enjoy the city life better. /They prefer to live in the city. /They are glad to be back
in the city.

     Tibet is among the most popular places for Chinese tourists. The number of travelers to Tibet has

from Xining to Lhasa, more and more people have been going to Tibet.

keeps the environment clean. All the windows on the train can protect people from the bright sunlight.

     Washington D.C. is the capital of the United States. It's the center of national government. It's a busy, working city with a large population. But what is more, Washington is also a city of history and culture. It is
  home to many famous and interesting public buildings and monuments, many of which are connected with
  the federal government.    
     Washington was created in 1790, when Congress (the highest lawmaking body of the United States)

 Building. This is the house of the Congress. Another world-famous building in Washington is the White
 House. This is the home and office of the President of the United States. Most visitors are, however,
  surprised by how small the White House actually is.
