             I guess the best place V ve ever been is Marrakech. I first went there many years ago. I was living and working in Casablanca,which was about four or five hours from Marrakech. We had a long weekend,and Dave and I were looking for something to do. 36                

             So we all left Casablanca on a Tuesday evening after work. Maiik’s family lived in a fantastic house very near to the main square with the market,Djemaa el-Fna. His mother cooked us dinner and then we all went to the square. We sat on the roof of a cafe,drinking tea and watching the people in the square below us. 37 There were people buying and selling absolutely everything. You could also listen to story-tellers,watch snake charmers,acrobats (杂技演员) ,and so on. 38 Their faces were blue and they had come from the desert in the south of the country.

             There's so much to see and do. Koutoubia Mosque is spectacular and all the tourists go there. The views are wonderful,with the Atlas Mountains in the distance. And the town has great restaurants.   39

             But it's the square,Djemaa el-Fna,and the shopping streets around it,that make Marrakech really special. Every time I go back to Marrakech,I go straight to the square and sit at my favorite cafe. 40 But right now,I dont even have a job and the last time I went was three years ago.

   A. In fact,everything about it is great.

   B. Dave was my best friend at the time.

   C. It really was such an interesting place.

   D. I have only visited Marrakech once.

   E. On Saturday,I even saw a group of men on camels!

   F. If I ever have the money,I'd love to buy a house there.

   G. A guy we worked with,Malik,invited us to come and stay with his family.

              All around the world,people are working hard to make their cities safer and more pleasant for pedestriand(行人) .Cities have painted crosswalks on their streets,made streets narrower,put in traffic lights and speed bumps(减速带) and made plans to help more kids walk or bike to school.

              Many people have learned from a man from Brisbane, Australia,named David Engwicht. His  book Reclaiming Our Cities and Towns has a simple!message. 36  Kids played there,and neighbors stopped there to talk.

              But now,streets are just for cars and trucks,j People stay inside to get away from the noise and dangerous traffic,and we lose contact with our neighbors. 37  People need to take back their streets. Engwicht travels around the world,helping people think differently about pedestrians,streets,and neighborhoods. 38 He has worked in neigh?borhoods from Honolulu to Scotland. 

              While Engwicht was writing his book,he learned how neighbors in the city of Delft,in the Netherlands,stopped dangerous traffic on their street. They put old couches,tables,and planters in the street. 39 When the police arrived,they saw how these illegal actions made the streets safer. Soon city officials started planning ways to make cars slow down,and “calm” the traffic.

              Engwicht says we should think about streets as our “outdoor living room”. 40 In the future,streets will be safe places for children again,and our neighbors will become our friends.

   A. Cars and pedestrians crowded the street.

   B. Calming the traffic is just the beginning.

   C. Cars could still pass,but they had to drive slowly.

   D. He says that in the past,streets belonged to everybody.

   E. It's hard to take measures to solve the traffic problems.

   F. Besides his books and articles,he gives many speeches.

   G. Engwicht says that we should use streets for more than just transportation.
