Question

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.
   ①    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 (厭倦) 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.   ②
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.
   ③     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.   ④    
So 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.

解析試題分析：這篇短文主要談論的是生活在城市好還是生活在鄉(xiāng)下好的問題，作者通過一些具體的例子說明了人們的這種矛盾心理，沒有給出具體結論。
【小題1】根據短文第一段描述，可知選項B不屬于人們移居到城市的原因，農村人沒有吃的東西。
【小題2】根據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。
【小題3】根據下文，兩三年后，許多這樣做的人發(fā)現(xiàn)那是一個巨大的錯誤，及下文描述可知選C，并不是所有從城市移居到鄉(xiāng)下的人都是幸福的。
【小題4】這篇短文主要談論的是生活在城市好還是生活在鄉(xiāng)下好的問題，故選C，（從城市中）搬出去還是搬進來。
