【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 1-5
M: Grace, what's interesting to you about living in the city? Why do you like it?
W: Well, I'm just a city girl! One time I bought a house in the country to escape from the urban ills, and then found myself totally bored with country life, because you have to drive everywhere and there's not much to do. I'm used to the fast pace of the city. There's a whole variety of museums, movies, coffee shops, and places to interact with people. But sitting alone in the country, you know, unless you like to grow, or garden. Or putter around and build things with your hands.
M: OK, but what about for vacation? I mean lots of city people rent vacation houses in the country.
W: But to me, going to the country for a vacation makes no sense at all. There's so much work to do. First you have to get there, and then… I don't know, I think I can relax better in the city. Besides, the country has bugs. There you are supposedly enjoying yourself, in the fresh country air, but you' re being eaten alive by a variety of different bugs. You can't enjoy yourself. You're being stung and eaten to death. You can't relax. Let's put it this way, if you like boredom, you'll like the country. People who like a lot of stimulation, you know, can't hack it. And then there's the transportation thing. I mean, to get a carton of milk you have to drive three miles. So the whole ear culture thing kicks in. Give me the city anytime!
M: Well, what would you say is the one thing you like most about the city?
W: The interactive social life. People get together. I like it when you call up and people say, come on over, and you hang out together, and it's just fun.
M: Yeah, and what about the suburbs?
W: Well, that's even more hateful than the country to me.
M: Why?
W: Well, the suburbs don't even have any of the good country air. There's nothing to do. You're just stuck there. And for young people, there are all sorts of problems--alcohol, drugs, you have to drive everywhere. Look, I go to my friend's house in the suburbs. Do you ever see anyone walking in the street? No. It's totally zero. There's nothing going on. What can I say, you know? It's not for me. I do have one or two suburban friends who like it, because they make a barbecue, and the birds are chirping, but not me! And then there's another thing I really hate. In the city, you can make mistakes, but you always get a second chance. But in the country and the suburbs, you' re labeled, you feel like wow, that's it, you're labeled. And that label doesn't come off easily.
M: Well, do you think the city is lonely? Or dangerous?
W: No! In the city people live in little communities. They have interactive social lives. And I don' t think the city is particularly dangerous.
