重庆市2014高考英语阅读理解一轮(精品)训练题(14)附答案
When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and in the winter especially(尤其), we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed up my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems, too.
One disadvantage(不利) is money—it costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of travelling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams(交通堵塞). One choice(选择) is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course, there are advantages(有利). First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture(文化) or entertainment(娱乐). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety(多种) of goods(货物) is very surprising—and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens(十几岁) twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace(宁静) of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.
