About big cities

  New York, London, Paris and other big cities are wonderful places to live in. There are many nice things to see and to do. You can go to different kinds of museums, plays and films. You can also go shopping to buy things from all over the world.

  But there are serious problems in big cities, too. The cost of living is high, and there are too many people in some places. Every year many people move to the cities because there are more chances to find jobs, to study at good schools and to receive good medical care. But sometimes these people can not find jobs or good places to live in. Also, too many people in a small space make it hard to keep the cities safe and clean.

  Some people enjoy staying in big cities, others do not. Before people move to a big city, they should think about the problems of staying there.

High in the mountains, and deep in the forest, lives a lake with many plants and animals in and around her. The plants and animals have enough food and clean water to keep them healthy. The wind carries pure air, and the rain comes down clear and clean.

But recently, Lucy Lake and her friends haven’t been feeling very well. All the plants and animals get together to talk about the problem. “Why are we sick?” “What can we do?” ask all of them. No one has any answers.

Just then two hikers appear. The animals tell them about their problems. “Can you help us?” they ask. “Yes,” one hiker says. “I think it’s because of acid rain.”

“Acid rain comes from chemicals(化学物质) in the air. The pollution comes from factories, cars and trucks.”

“So, although I don’t want to, I help the pollution travel through the air!” says the wind. “And I carry it to the land!” cries the rain. 

“If you can help us think of some solutions(解决方法), we will send a message to tell people how to clean up our environment,” one hiker says. 

With the help of the plants and animals, the two hikers make a list of ideas for saving Lucy Lake and her friends.

Time passes, and the forest and lake begin to feel a little better.

The next time the hikers climb up the mountains to Lucy Lake, they smile at what they find. “We’re glad things have started to change,” one hiker says. “And we’re glad you helped us make a difference,” says the other.

A.polluted

2.The two hikers are most probably ____.

A.scientists

B.teachers

C.doctors

D.reporters

3.____ have (has) nothing to do with the cause of acid rain.

A.The rain

B.Human beings

C.The wind

D.The plants and animals

4.The underlined word “you” refers to (指) ____. 

A.Lucy Lake

B.the plants and animals

C.one of the two hikers

D.the wind and the rain

5.Which of the following is NOT true?
