课时作业(2)　B卷　素能提升 Ⅰ.阅读理解 Some people say that city living in the 21st century is stressful and offers no advantages, but I don't agree with them completely. With the development of high－tech and the improvement of living qualities, more and more people crowded into city, which leads to the uncontrollable urbanization (城市化).

In terms of entertainment, city residents are usually spoiled for choice, from amusement park to sport stadium, whoever you are will find exactly you need. Maybe going to concert tonight and visiting museums tomorrow. City always contains various activities and full of energy. City also provides better opportunities with so many choices and challenges. Cities with universities offer high－standard education so that graduates from these places always get ideal job with considerable salary. Every day in the business district, you can see a fierce competition among those large companies, while there are exactly places that may give birth to talents.
