and one of the most beautiful cities in the world. In Sydney, the
buildings are higher, the colors are brighter and the nightlife is
more exciting. There are over 20 excellent beaches close to Sydney
and its warm climate and cool winter have made it a favorite city
for immigrants from overseas. There are two things that make
Sydney famous: its beautiful harbor, the Sydney Harbor Bridge,
which was built in 1932 and the Sydney Opera House, which was
opened in 1973.

the question about the passage.
Living in the country is something that people from the city often
dream about. However, in reality, it has both advantages and
disadvantages.
There are certainly many advantages of living in the country. First,
you can enjoy peace and quietness. Moreover, people tend to be
friendlier. A further advantage is that there is less traffic, so it is
safer for young children.
However, there are certain disadvantages or drawbacks to life
outside the city. First, because there are fewer people, you are
likely to have few friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to
find, particularly in the evening. Furthermore, the fact that there
are fewer shops and services so it is quite hard to find jobs. As a
result, you may have to travel a long way to work, which can be
extremely expensive.
In conclusion, it can be seen that the country is more suitable for
some people than others. On the whole, it is often the best place for
those who are retired or who have young children. In contrast,
young or single people who have a career are better provided for in
the city.
1. According to the passage, living in the country has
.
A. both good and bad points
B. only bad points
C. only good points
D. no disadvantages

A. Two
B. Four
C. Three
D. No

city.

Tokyo is a famous city. There are a few good buildings and
impressive temples; there are a few parks worth visiting.
Everything has to be small in Tokyo: houses, rooms, shops.
Long-side streets consist of tiny houses only, and this often creates
a toy-like, with small women tip-toeing along in their kimonos.
Tokyo at night is a very different place from Tokyo in daytime.
Millions of neon lights are switched on and nowhere in the world is
more attractive.
A town is not its buildings alone; it is an atmosphere, its pleasure,
its sadness, its madness, and above all its people. Tokyo may lack
architectural beauty but it has character and excitement; it is alive.
I found it a mysterious and lovable city.
1. …….There are many beautiful buildings in Tokyo.
2. …….There is nothing to see in the parks in Tokyo.
