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 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 Paris, 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 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.Which is NOT the reason for people moving to the cities in China?

What’s right about the people who move to the countryside?
A.All of them feel happy. |
B.None of them feel happy. |
C.Only a few of them stay at the countryside at last. |

What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph show?
A.They are happy to move back to the city. |
B.They miss their friends in the countryside. |
C.They still want to move to the countryside. |
D.They are tired of the noise and the crowded streets in the city. |
May 20,2021 Dear Principal, I think the students in our school should wear uniforms.Many schools already have them.Uniforms will help our families save money,since we would have to buy only one or two uniforms for the whole year.Uniforms could also give us more pride in our school.And best of all,if we all wore uniforms,kids wouldn't tease each other about their clothes. I know some students think uniforms are ugly and uncomfortable.But maybe we can pick a uniform that everyone likes.I think this is a wonderful idea for our school. Sincerely, Justin Jones |

Mary Armstrong was a pretty little girl,but she did not pay attention to her things.She usually left her books and playthings everywhere,and it gave her mom much trouble in picking them up and putting them in the proper places.Some of her books and toys became spoiled(损坏).Her mom had often told Mary the bad result of being so careless.The growing habit of carelessness would make her unhappy,and sometimes annoy her friends.Even worse,it would be of great harm to her all her life.But Mary didn't listen to her mom.So they argued a lot.
