小镇生活英语阅读

I used to live in a small town with trees all around. There were no tall buildings. People there lived a poor life. Now great changes have taken place in my hometown. You can see tall buildings and factories everywhere. Many people have their own cars. But air and water pollution is becoming more and more serious. The mountains are not green, the rivers are not clean, and the sky is not blue. I think we must do something to stop pollution. I hope my hometown will be more beautiful in the future.

D. 有关生活方式的英语阅读题（带答案）

As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni Indians of North America were building with adobe－sun baked brick plastered with mud. Their homes looked remarkably like modern apartment houses. Some were four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps a thousand people, along with store rooms for grain and other goods. These buildings were usually put up against cliffs, both to make construction easier and for defense against enemies. They were really villages in themselves, as later Spanish explorers must have realized since they called them “pueblos”, which is Spanish for town.
The people of the pueblos raised what are called“the three sisters” - corn, beans, and squash. They made excellent pottery and wove marvelous baskets, some so fine that they could hold water. The Southwest has always been a dry country, where water is scarce. The Hopi and Zuni brought water from streams to their fields and gardens through irrigation ditches. Water was so important that it played a major role in their religion. They developed elaborate ceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain.
The way of life of less settled groups was simpler and more strongly influenced by nature. Small tribes such as the Shoshone and Ute wandered the dry and mountainous lands between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. They gathered seeds and hunted small animals such as small rabbits and snakes. In the Far North the ancestors of today's Inuit hunted seals, walruses, and the great whales. They lived right on the frozen seas in shelters called igloos built of blocks of packed snow. When summer came, they fished for salmon and hunted the lordly caribou.
The Cheyenne, Pawnee, and Sioux tribes, known as the Plains Indians, lived on the grasslands between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River. They hunted bison, commonly called the buffalo. Its meat was the chief food of these tribes, and its hide was used to make their clothing and covering of their tents and tipis.

I would like to live in the city
I prefer living in the city to country. Fire of all,the traffic is important.If you live in the country,you may walk most of the time,that's really tiring.In the city , there are different kinds of transportations for us to choose, such as taxi,bus and subway.It's very convenient.Then, you can find good schools for study and you can find jobs more easily in the city ,but you can't do these in the country.I think country is a good place to relax and city is a good place to work and study.

Many people appreciate the conveniences of the city.People in the city can seefilms,visit exhibitions and watch games every day if they like to.Furthermore,if they want to Become scholars,scientists or artists,they can find what they need in the city:libraries,colleges,museums,and so on.The last But not the least important thing I'd like to say is that they can get to know as many people as they want in the city.
But some other people are attracted by the beauty of the country.First,if one is in the country he feels he is closer to nature:small streams,high mountains,fresh air,green grass and so on,all this makes people happy and stirs up the love of life.Second,in the country,people seem to have more freedom.They can sing high in the field,ride horses along a brook and do some interesting farm work.
Of course,both the city and the country have their disadvantnges.As for the city,there is pollution,noise and heavy traffic.And as far as the country is concerned,its inefficient transportation,delayed news always make people feel isolated.
Compared with cities,the country is relatively backward,but nothing can be com pared with the clean atmosphere and the gentle pace of living.Living in the country is very good for your health.With the deveJopment of economy,it is a trend that people will migrate from the city to the country.
