26、onsiderate.BDear Sir,There is a plan to build a new supermarket on the edge of the Whitefields housing estate （住 宅区）,on the land where the local library now is. I live at Whitefields, and I would like to express my concern about this plan. It is not that I am completely against the idea of building

27、a supermarket I just think that as a community we need to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages before committing ourselves.It is clear that the library is under-used and in poor condition. It is also clear that there are very few shops near here and a supermarket would be a good thing to have.

28、But the people who want to build the supermarket seem to think that no one wants the library any more, and that it isn ' t a must because of the Internet and so on. Is this necessarily true, especially for elderly people? What about young people who don ' t hInverthet at home and need to go

29、to the library to do their homework? Where can they study if they have to share a room with a younger brother or sister?On the other hand, there is an argument that a new supermarket would not only bring more choice of shopping and more convenience for local people, but it would also bring some much

Certainly local people, including me, will find shopping a lot easier and more convenient. But there will also be extra traffic. In a few

31、years from now, the roads in and around will be full of cars in the daytime and delivery lorries at night, and not only that we will have got used to it, too. Are more jobs and more convenience worth such an influence on our daily lives? Perhaps, but this is what we have to ask ourselves.I believe t

32、hat all the people of Whitefields, and the authority, need to discuss this question in an open-minded way and I hope that by the time a decision is taken, we will have had a full and fair discussion of the issues involved, and that the local authority will have really listened to everyone ' s vi

33、ew. Is that too much to ask?Yours faithfully, Tom Watkins44. The supporters of the supermarket probably think.A. the library is no longer neededB. the library is too poor to be rebuiltC. the supermarket brings down goods priceD. supermarket increases local workers' income45. What does the underl

34、ined "it " in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Shopping convenience.B. Job opportunity.C. Life quality.D. Traffic condition.46. What is the author ' s attitude toward the plan?A. Approving.B. Neutral.C. Negative.D. Confident.47. Why is the letter written?A. To promote effective public reading.B

35、. To call for concern over an urban project.C. To discuss ways of improving life quality.D.
