15.Most of my friends are moving outside the city..to avoid the noise,smog,traffic,and crime of the city.
One friend says,"The air is heavily polluted in the city,so I prefer to live outside,where the air is clean."
Another friend is unpleased with the traffic,"Downtown is crowded with cars!You can't find a parking place,and the traffic jams are terrible."Everyone is worried about crime,"The city is full of criminals-it's too dangerous."
For them,the rural(乡村的) life is a cure for all problems,green grass,flowers,swimming pools,barbecues,and so on.Yet after they have lived there for a year or so,they realize that rural life is not so pleasant as they were expecting.Why?Their gardens!They soon learn that the main part of rural life is yard work.After they work all weekend in their gardens,they're too tired to swim in their pools or cook some meat on their barbecues.And they can't live in the countryside without a car.Most of them moved to the countryside to avoid traffic,but now they're blocked on a busy freeway two hours every day to drive to work downtown.
My opinions about urban life are different-I love to live downtown!Why?First,in the city,I can enjoy nature.I can walk through the park.smell.the flowers,sit on the grass and visit the animals in the zoo.Yet I don't have to do yard work or feed the animals.Also,I can get everywhere by bus; if there is a traffic jam,I can walk home.I think the criminal life will reflect changes in society too; if people are buying homes outside the city,the criminals will soon follow.Criminals want to avoid noise,smog,and pollution,too.Then,overcrowding and crime will be problems of the suburbs instead of the city!

16.I'd planned to spend my weekend in the sun,potting flowers outdoors.But that was before the pair of crows (乌鸦).Out of nowhere,they had set up their base camp in our backyard.
We first discovered our feathered enemies on Friday morning.It was early,and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood.I figured they'd go away soon.But,no.They were getting louder and probably annoying my neighbors nearly as much as us with the noise.I admit I got a little desperate.
Then,on Sunday afternoon,I looked out the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi staring at something on the ground.I went to explore and found a small coal-black bird in the grass.Its eyes were milky,and it stayed perfectly still as my dog walked towards it.Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away.I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera.
It never occurred to me that the young would be hanging out on the ground,growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above.The second I saw this little creature I forgave the crows.
To be honest,I've never been much of a bird person.I also have a healthy respect for birds.They're basically living dinosaurs.
I wish they'd chosen another backyard.There are only so many sunny days in Seattle,and I still can't do any gardening out there.But I'm also grateful that I got to see this little bit of nature unfold up close.It's pretty amazing.
The experience has also strengthened my desire to create a beautiful backyard garden that attracts lots of bees,butterflies,and yes,birds.They are welcome here.

C.disturbed the author's life

A.She wanted to take some photos.
B.She wanted to protect the little bird.
C.The dog kept making loud noises.
D.The parent crows were to attack the dog.

A.decided to help look after it
B.planned to drive the crows away
C.fell in love with the pair of crows

11.Still seeking a destination for your weekend break?There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.
King's Art Centre
A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere.This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.
You could attend a class teaching you how to"learn from the masters"or get more creative with paint-free of charge.
The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.
The Botanic Garden
The Garden has over 8,000 plant species;it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.
The multibranched Torch Aloe here is impressive.The African plant produces red flowers above bluegreen leaves,and is not one to miss.
Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula,a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.
The Garden is also a place for wildlifeenthusiasts.Look for grass snakes in the lake.A snake called‘Hissing Sid'is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.
Byron's Pool
Many stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University.Arriving in 1805,he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of"mess and drunkenness".However,it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough.I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms.He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.
It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake,which is now known as Byron's Pool.A couple of miles past Grant Chester in the south Cambridge shire countryside,the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields.The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea.If you don't trust me,then perhaps you'll take it from Virginia Woolf-over a century after Byron,she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.
