Read the following passage and mark letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the word that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
Unlike life in the countryside, which is often considered to be simple and traditional, life in
cities is modern and complicated. People, from different regions, move to cities to seek a
better life for them and their children. The inhabitants in cities work as secretaries,
businessmen, teachers, government employees, factory workers and even street vendors or
construction workers.
The high cost of living requires city dwellers, especially those with low incomes, to work
harder or to take part-time jobs. For many people, an ordinary day starts as usual by getting
up in the early morning to do exercise in public parks, preparing for a full day of work and
study, then travelling along boulevards or narrow streets filled with motorists and returning
home after a busy day. They usually live in large houses, or high-rise apartment blocks or
even in small rented rooms equipped with modern facilities, like the Internet, telephones,
televisions, and so on. Industrialization and modernization as well as global integration have
big impacts on the lifestyle in cities. The most noticeable impact is the Western style of
