in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. as soon as i left school, i packed my bags and moved to the capital. however, i soon discovered that city life has its problems too.one big disadvantage 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. one choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.of course there are advantages. first, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances if you like shopping, the variety of goods 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) or twenties. however, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. i certainly hope to move back there soon.56what was the writer always

been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earths natural conditions. some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside. it may be one hundred times worse.indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. some pollutants（污染物）can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.people have paid more attention to the problem now. it is true that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. to do this they build buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. they also began using man-made building materials. these materials are now known to let out harmful gases.as the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. they discovered a natural pollution control system for buildinggreen plants. scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution. they believe that a plants leaves absorb or take in the pollutants. in exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and tiny organizations on its roots. scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square meters of space. studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. so the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and more healthy place.63 generally speaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful than the air outside because _ .aindoor air pollution can often make people seriously illbthere may be more harmful gases outside the buildingscman-made building materials give off dangerous gasesdthe air indoors is polluted, which is very harmful64 some kind of indoor pollution can be found in _.aevery old house bevery modern house

energycthe building things that are made of man-made materialsdthe limit of the flow of air between inside and outside66 the reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that _.aplants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoorsbplants may take in more oxygen which people needcplants can make our houses prettier and more healthydplants can absorb all kinds of harmful indoor chemicalsdif youre tired of the mediterranean and dont want to head to disney again, perhaps its time for a summer holiday in space. russia has declared plans for its first floating hotel, 217 miles above earth, and it is something of an offering with good service.hosting just seven guests in a four cabins, the accommodation will boast(夸口) huge windows with views back to earth and tasty microwave meals will be served instead of the ones often used by astronauts.just getting there will be an adventure in itselfit will take two days aboard a soyuz rocketand it wont exactly be a budget holiday: a five-day stay will cost you100, 000 to500, 000 for your journey. the hotel is due to open by 2016 and, according to those behind it, will be far more comfortable than the international space station (iss) used by astronauts and cosmonauts.in the weightlessness of space, visitors can choose to have beds that are either vertical or horizontal. tourists, who will be accompanied by experienced crew, will dine on food prepared on earth and sent up on the rocket, to be reheated in microwave ovens. many kinds of delicacies（佳肴） will be available.iced tea, mineral water and fruit juices will be available, but alcohol will be strictly prohibited. toilets will use flowing air instead of water to move waste through the system. waste water will be recycled.sergei kostenko, chief executive of orbital technologies which will construct the hotel, said: “our planned module inside will not remind you of the international space station. a hotel should be comfortable inside, and it will be possible to look at the earth. the hotel will be aimed at wealthy individuals and people working for private companies who want to do research in space.” the hotel can also be used as an emergency bolthole (避难处) for astronauts aboard the international space station if there is a crisis.67which can be the best title of the passage?a. russia declares the design for its first space
