Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.
Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go to their offices, factories or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up earlier in the morning and reach 1 later in the evening.
One benefit of living outside London is that houses are 2 . Even a small flat in London without a garden cost quite a lot to hire. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of 3 own.
Then, in the country one can be free from noise. 4 one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night, and, during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh clean air of the country.
Some people, however, take 5 in country things; for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants, such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live outside London. A 6 in one of the parks and a visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want.

It seems that a family just isn’t complete (完整的) without a pet. But if pets aren’t suitable to a family’s lifestyle or environment, they can quickly lead to problems such as stress or arguments (争执). To save yourself and your family such problems, treat this decision seriously.
When choosing a pet, people must consider the family’s health. Many people are allergic (过敏的) to cats and dogs. Perhaps a dog or cat with short hair will be fine. And a dog might not be the best choice for a child who is naughty (顽皮的) because the dog might bite him or her. Some people can also have problems with certain pets. It’s a good idea to spend a little time with the pet around each member of the family before making your decision.
Consider the quality of life of the pet, too. If a pet is used to having space to run around, it can quickly develop psychological (心理的) problems when it is kept in a small flat all day. If pets are allowed to run about in areas with lots of traffic, they can meet an early end. Cats shouldn’t be brought into homes that already have large dogs because they won’t be able to get along well with each other.
The decision as to what kind of pet to choose is very important. If you find the right one to suit (适合) everyone in the family and their lifestyle, then it’s time to choose one. Remember that your decision is important because it can have effects that last for many years.
