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 is 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.

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

AThe countryside is much poorer than the city.

BPeople in the countryside have nothing to eat.

CPeople in the countryside don't have much work to do there.

DServices in cities are usually much better than those in the countryside.

26. Why do some rich families in Europe move to the countryside?

ABecause they will find good jobs.  

BBecause they like feeding sheep and cows in the green fields.

CBecause they can make more money there.

DBecause they are tired of living in the city.

27.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph shows __________

Athey still want to move to the countryside 

Bthey miss their friends in the countryside

Cthey are happy to move back to the city

Dthey are tired of the noise and the crowded streets in the city

Children usually love dogs. And even those who are afraid of them at first grow to love these lovely animals once they get to know them. So let’s find out which small dogs is the most suitable as a pet for your child, in case your little one is asking for a dog of his/her own.

   When you choose a dog for children, a number of factors need to be kept in mind. People usually choose a dog based on its looks. However, looks can be cheating, as a lovely looking dog might be aggressive, and a strong looking dog might be gentle. Therefore, it is very important to choose a dog based on its character, rather than its looks. Some dogs are known to be very amicable and gentle, while other dogs are unfriendly and rude. However, one should not choose a dog based only on its breed either, as there are always exceptions. The character of a dog depends on the individual dog, as much as it does on the breed it belongs to.

   Another factor that needs to be kept in mind, while you choose small dogs for your child, is the character of the child who is going to be with the dog. If the child is active, the dog should be energetic, strong, and patient, so that it can take all the actions the child gives it. On the other hand, if the child has a quiet nature, a dog that is gentle, calm and sensitive will be more suitable.

   It is also good to have a dog that is easy to train, so that it can be taught to behave properly with children. This will ensure that the child is safe with the dog. However, it is not a good idea to leave a young child alone with a dog.

33. what does the passage mainly talk about?

A Different dogs have different characters. B. The best ways to keep your dog.

C. Dogs are the most friendly animals.      D. How to choose a dog for your child.

34.The underlined word “ amicable” in Paragraph 2 probably means____.

A. dangerous       B. friendly      C. small         D. strong

B. it is a bad idea for parents to give a dog as a pet for children
