(4) H　　　　　, it was expensive to live in the centre of Arnwick, so the city government decided to build flats around the edge (边缘) of the city. And soon, Parkville (5) b　　　　　 a suburb (郊区) of Arnwick.

Bigger cities mean more (9) p　　　　　 sometimes. For example, Arnwick needs larger hospitals and more doctors, more buses and fewer private (私人的) cars. It’s difficult to run a big city and to (10) p　　　　　 people. So it also needs more laws and more police, and more taxes (税收) to pay for everything.

Dear Mayor (市长),
I am a college student from Lizhen. I’d like to say something about the bridge you’re going to build (1) a　　　 　 the Lijia Lake.
The lake has (2) b　　　 　 the mother lake for many thousands of local people for centuries. And it is also a home for many (3) r　　　 　 birds. People have shared the lake with birds (4) s　　　 　 long ago.
I remember that when I was in (5) p　　　 　 school, the lake was famous for its clear water and beautiful birds. But as the place develops, the (6) e　　　 　 around the lake is getting worse and worse. There is more and more (7) w　　　 　 in the lake. And as a (8) r　　　 　, the water is getting dirtier and dirtier. At the same time, it has (9) b　　　 　 more and more difficult to see rare birds here. What’s worse, I hear that the government is planning to build a bridge here. I don’t think it is a good plan because the air and noise (10) p　　　 　 will kill the lake. It won’t be a quiet place any more. And, birds will lose their home and food.
So I do think maybe the government can build the bridge somewhere else.
