Visions of the city
Jo is 15 and lives in Parkville. When Jo’s grandparents first came to Parkville 50 years ago, it was a quiet country village in the centre of the country. At that time, they had a small house on the hills in the distance.
But Parkville was close to a big city, Arnwick, with about 200,000 people. From the countryside began to arrive in Arnwick to find jobs and have a better life. And of course they needed somewhere to live. However, it was expensive to live in the centre of Arnwick, so the city government decided to build flats around the edge of the city. And soon, Parkville became a suburb of Arnwick. It now has over a million people. Jo’s family live in one of those new flats—there’s no room for small houses any more.
The small local school in Parkville closed down five years ago. Jo goes to a school close to the centre of Arnwick, with2,000 pupils. No one knows all their names.
It takes Jo an hour to get to school, and this adds to the traffic and pollution. But it’s not her fault. She liked her old school.
Arnwick needs larger hospitals and more doctors, better public transport and fewer private cars. There need to be more shops and offices. It also needs clean water and no rubbish in the streets. It’s difficult to run a big city, and to protect people from crime. So it also needs more laws and more police, and more taxes to pay for everything.
Well, what do you think of all this? Do you like the things which are happening in Parkville? In fact, “Visions of the city” is just a story. But does your town have the same problems as Arnwick?

我和你的选择是一样的。
It takes Jo an hour to get to school, and this adds to the traffic and pollution. But it’s not her fault. She liked her old school.
翻译过来是，到学校花费Jo一个小时，而且这附加了交通和污染的负担，但这并不是她的错，她还是喜欢老学校。
说明他并不想增加污染，所以选择A。
