(E) Changing places

Julie Willis is an artist from San Francisco(旧金山) who moved to London in 1988. We asked her to compare(对比) life in San Francisco and

London. Here's what she told us.

1.The cities

San Francisco is a lovely city in a beautiful bay(海湾) in the USA. It's got lots of great buildings and places. It's smaller and much more modern than London, but it's less interesting. London has a lot more theatres and museums. The Americans are usually more interested in money than culture! The buildings and streets in London are very great, and the parks and markets are wonderful. London isn't as dangerous as San Francisco. I feel much safer living here—nobody carries a gun. The police don't carry guns either.

2.The living

People have a higher standard(水平) of living in San Francisco because it's much less expensive than England. For example, petrol is less than half the price and things like food, clothes, and cameras are much cheaper. It's a shopper's paradise(天堂) and I always spend a lot of money buying things before I go back to London! It's

a bit more expensive to rent(租) a house in London and my bills(帐单) are much bigger than they were in San Francisco. So, although my salary(薪水) in London is about the same as it was in the United States, I have to work harder to get the same quality of life as I had before.

3.Public transport(公共交通)

In San Francisco you can walk everywhere because it,s a small city.There,s less traffic than in London, and the public transport is great. There are cablecars to go up all the hills and electric buses which make the city much cleaner. Public transport in London is terrible and really expensive. It takes me an hour to get to work and the journey is usually stressful. London's dirtier too and much more polluted(污染). The traffic is bad, because there are too many cars and the streets are narrow. But English drivers aren't as bad as American drivers!

4.The food

Food in the United States is much better. It's fresher, cheaper, and there's much more choice. Restaurants(餐厅) aren't as expensive as in London and the service is much better. In some restaurants they put a clock on the table when you arrive, and if they haven't served your meal in five minutes, they'll give you the food free!

回答59—65题的问题：

59.From the whole article(文章), which city does Julie Willis like better, London or San Francisco?

60.What is Julie's job?

61.Why do the American people have a higher standard of living than people in London?

62.In what way does Julie always save her money in London?

63.How far is it from Julie's home to her office?

64.Why is the traffic bad in London?

65.On what occasion(场合) can you get a free meal in San Francisco?

阅读下列66—70题的陈述，然后判断其正误。如正确请划“”，如错误，请划“×”,并在框内进行改正。

例：San Francisco lies in England.

× San Francisco lies in America.

66.San Francisco is safer than London.

66___________________________________

67.Julie likes the drivers in London very much.

67____________________________________________

68.The people in San Francisco always go up the hills by electric buses.

68_______________________________________________________________

69.Julie sometimes likes walking in San Francisco.
