In the countries all over the world, people are leaving the countryside in large numbers to find jobs in
the cities. They leave because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn"t much work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in cities than they are in the country. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.
But in the big cities of Europe and America-London, Paris, New York, people are moving out of
the city. These are usually families who have some money, and want to live a quieter life. They are tired of
the noise and the dirt of the city, tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don"t want
to sit in traffic any more. They want a house with a garden, and clean air that isn"t polluted.
So they move out. Some don"t go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, other people move to the real countryside with sheep and cows and green fields!
There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.
Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many
people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don"t make so much money and there isn"t much to do. Country people are very different and aren"t always very friendly.
As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. "It"s
wonderful to see crowded in the streets and cinema lights," they say, "I"m so glad back in the city !"

Green Olympic.
"Which seasons see more precipitation (江水) in Beijing?" "Summer and winter."
This was a simple conversation between Zhou Youhong-a member of the Beijing Olympic Green
Action Promotion Group (北京奥运会绿色行动宣传团) and some school kids during Zhou"s speech
on environmental protection.
The interesting activity carded the message that is trying to tell the future generations (几代人) as
they jointly launched (发起) a water-saving campaign among the kids.
As a part of the plan to promote "Green Olympics", the campaign called on students of over 1,000
primary schools in the city to take part in it this year.
During the launch ceremony of the campaign, the students were given water-saving materials. They
posted water-saving tips at every comer of the school to remind other people to cherish (珍惜) the water
resources.
Students were encouraged to bring the message to their family members and show their feedback
(反馈) on schools" blackboards.
"We hope that through this campaign, the young people will increase the awareness (意识) of
environmental protection," said Xu Xiaoxuan, director of BOCOG (北京奥组委) Environmental
Activity Dept. "Such practice is of great meaning not only for the kids, but also for every member o2"
the society," he continued.
Don"t circle your plate with your arms. If you do so, you will become the focus (焦点) of the table.
Everyone would wonder, "Is there anything wrong with the food?" This may give a wrong message that
you don"t like the food or something like that.
Don"t push the plate back when finished. Leave it where it was. Do you want to let the hostess (女主人)know that you"ve just done a labour?
Don"t lean (倚靠) back and say "I"m through" or "I"m full". Just put the fork and knife across the plate.
That"s all.
Don"t cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one or two bites (块) at a time. Never take
a huge mouthful of anything. Do you want to show how hungry you are? Don"t do that. It"s not so good.

Washington D.C. is the capital of the United States. It"s the center of national government. It"s a busy, working city with a large population. But what is more, Washington is also a city of history and culture. It is
home to many famous and interesting public buildings and monuments, many of which are connected with
the federal government.
Washington was created in 1790, when Congress (the highest lawmaking body of the United States)
decided to place the nation"s new capital in the east of the country. It was built half way between the
northern and southern states of America. And of course it was named after George Washington, the first
President of the United States.
