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 （塵土） 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.
小題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.
小題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.
小題3:After moving to the countryside, some people in Europe feel unhappy.

A．they can’t make much money

小題1:B。根據(jù)These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of (厭倦) the noise and the dirt of the city, 描述可知選B。

You may have known several kinds of police --- traffic police, fire police and street police. But have you ever heard of energy-saving(節(jié)能) policeman?
A group of 22 energy-saving policemen went to work last week in Beijing. They go around the city to see the use of energy in hotels, office buildings, shopping centers and other public places. One of their aims is to make sure that these places have set their air conditioning(空調) no cooler than 26℃.
They also set up a special phone line so that people can tell them which buildings fail to follow the rule.
“If everyone sets their air conditioning at 26℃, Beijing will save 400 million kilowatthour of electricity in one summer. That’s one-third of all the usages of the city in the season,” said a TV advertisement.
Other Chinese cities, like Wuhan in Hubei Province and Yangzhou in Jiansu Province, are going to follow Beijing’s steps in setting up a similar police team.
As one of the fastest developing countries, China is using a lot of energy. This has a great effect on the country’s environment and limited(有限的) energy.
From 1986 to 2005, the country experienced 20 warm winters continuously(連續(xù)). Numbers show that Chinese cities have to spend billions of yuan solving environmental problems every year.
At the beginning of this month, China made its first action plan to fight pollution. It aims to reduce energy usage by 20% and increase renewable(可更新的) energy up to 10% from 7% by 2010.
To introduce the public to a green life, last week Beijing held a show on energy-saving technology and productions. Environment-friendly machines, such as a vending machine that helps collect used bottles, have attracted lots of attention. “We want to tell people that there are certain ways to protect the environment. Each of us can find effective ways to do it on our daily lives,” said Liu Qianguang, an environmental engineer in Beijing.
小題1:The job of the energy-saving policemen is ______.
A．to set up a special phone line
B．to set the air conditioning cooler
C．to check the use of energy in public places
D．to make sure that more energy will be produced
小題2:Beijing uses ______ million kilowatt-hour electricity in summer.
A．1200.
B．800.
C．400.
D．133.
小題3:Which of the following years’ winters were all warm in China?
A．1968—1988.
B．1999—2003.
C．2002—2006.
D．2005—2009.
小題4:In the year 2010 China’s energy usages is going to be cut by ______.
A．7%.
B．10%.
C．17%.
D．20%.
小題5:According to Liu Qianguang, ______.
A．there are few ways to protect the environment
B．it’s difficult to find good ways to save energy
C．it’s easy for one to do something good for the environment
D．it’s difficult for one to do something good for the environment
