Some people think the government should move the big companies and factories in cities to the countryside. To what extent do you agree?
Due to the increased urbanization, there appears a bunch of heated social problems. Some people have noticed that there are many big companies and factories in the city and they believe that moving those big companies and factories into countryside could be a good way to solve many of the city problems, such as traffic issues and housing problems. However, I hold an opposite opinion to them and I will explain it as below.
Cities have much more advantages than countryside. There are more cinemas, restaurants and shopping malls in cities, let alone better education and health care. Living in cities makes life more convenient and enjoyable. Thus not everyone is willing to move to countryside in spite of their companies’ moving. They have got cars, which transfers them easily between work and home. Therefore, the pressure of traffic will not be released due to such solution. As for the available empty places spared by the big companies, the newest small companies will take good care of them—with the realization of the benefits that running a business in cities will bring to them. In other words, situation of housing will not be improved much.
Besides, there will be more problems if big companies and factories move out. Where there are big companies and factories, there will be cities sooner or later. Consequently, countryside is to be disappearing. What’s more, industrial pollution is not an easily mended problem.
In conclusion, moving big companies and factories out of cities is never a final solution. It tackles(解决) no problem but causes lots of them. Just imagine. The traffic is still terrible, and there is no more scenic countryside. We should look into other ways to solve the problems.
1.What is the passage mainly talking about?
A. Moving big companies out of cities.

A. A number of factories and companies.
B. The rapid development of the cities.
C. The sharp increase of vehicle quantity.
D. The serious need for more houses.
3.What does the author want to tell in the fourth paragraph?
A. It is more convenient to live in cities than countryside

Holiday gift buying can feel a little empty, when all of those endless lists, long lines at the shopping center and dollars spent lead to a 5-miute excitement of flying wrapping paper. 1.The following tips can help make gift giving more meaningful for both the giver and the receiver.
1.Know the person
The most important thing in the exchanging of gifts is that it shows you really know the person well, and you really care about them. 2.
2.Donate in their name
3.Research suggests that happier people give more to others, and that giving more makes people happier. Moreover, charity-related happiness is highest when people give in a way that promotes social connection. So, try giving to the less fortunate in someone’s name this holiday season.
3.Give handmade goods or hand-me-downs
4.A study suggests that people feel that homemade items show more love, and love is what they want to express to the gift receiver.
Family heirlooms(传家宝)may be another good girl option. A 2009 study found that when families hand down even a very depersonalized thing—money—through the generations, the symbolic value of the cash is greater than the numerical value alone.
4.Provide chances for participation
If there’s a golden rule of girls, though, it's this:5.People who receive experiential girls, such as concert tickets or a zoo membership, feel more connected to the girl giver than people who received material girls.
A. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
B. Give experiences rather than objects.
C. New and store—bought is not always best.
D. That is always beyond their expectation.
E. That means catering to another’s pleasure.
F. Giving gifts to friends or to charity is linked to happiness.
G. Start listing every person you plan to give a holiday gift

I used to believe courtesy was a thing of the past. Very seldom have I encountered a courteous human being in this modern era.
Recently, I had to change my thinking, when I came face to face with just such a human being in a coffee place, with my two daughters. The place was crowded as usual and we had to climb steep stairs in order to find an empty table. After enjoying coffee and snacks, we went down the narrow stairs, where there was hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down.
Just as I was in the middle of the stairs, a gentleman entered the main entrance of the restaurant which was right in front of the staircase. I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man going up. I kept coming down as fast as I could. My daughters were already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping I would reach them before the stranger started walking up the stairs, knowing I was a nervous sort.
Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man still standing near the door. I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open. I looked back thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt bad that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up.
Such well mannered people are hard to find these days, when pushing is very common in our advanced but aggressive society. We applauded for his chivalry(骑士精神).
1.What did the author think of the man at the first sight of him?
A. He was in a hurry. B. He would wait for her.
C. He would cross her rudely. D. He was a man with good manners.
2.Why did the author’s daughters worry about her?
A. She was too old to walk fast. B. She was easy to be disturbed.
C. She took up too much space. D. She focused too much on the man.
3.What can we learn about the man from Paragraph 4?
A. He might be a waiter of the café.
B. He might have an urgent business to do.
C. He fell in love with one of the author’s daughters.
D. He would hold the door open for all.
