【正确答案】

【答案解析】 City Life
City life is a preferred way of life, especially in developing countries.
Firstly, the city provides one with a better background for development. There are so many opportunities to learn new things and new skills. And only in a city can one obtain access to the best modem education.
Secondly, the city offers the best stage for people to demonstrate their abilities. City life can be very challenging and demanding, and it calls for one's utmost display of mental and physical power. It is here that humans can fully realize their ambitions.
Thirdly, city life will never make one feel dull. There is always somewhere to go and something to do. One can wander a day in a commercial center, and the next day, he/she can go to a park or a culture street. Today one goes to the cinema, tomorrow he/she goes to the concert.
Frankly speaking, it is impossible to list the advantages that a city offers. It is not far from the truth when some people say that the city is an important aspect of human civilization.
