The difference between life in one country and another is quite often not so great as the difference between city life and village life in the same country. In an English village everybody knows everybody else; they know what time you get up, what time you go to bed and what you usually have for dinner. If you want any help you will always get it and be glad to help anyone else in return. In a large city like London, there are many things to see and many places to go to.However, people often do not know each other well. It sometimes happens that you have never seen your next door neighbour, don't know his name or anything about him. People living in London are often very lonely, particularly after work. This is because the people they are with all day are scattered（分散）over large areas in the evenings and weekends. If you walk through the streets in the centre of London on a Sunday, it is almost like an empty town. One is sorry for old people who do not live with their children and have no work to go to during the day.
(   )1.This article is about the difference between life in one country and another.
(   )2.Life in cities and villages in the same country is often very different.

What Causes Waves(波浪)?
Waves are beautiful to look at, but they can do great harm to s        (1)at sea, as well as houses and buildings near the shore. What causes waves? Most waves are caused by winds blowing over the s        (2)of the water. The sun h       (3) the earth,causing the air to r       (4) and the winds to blow. The winds blow across the sea, pushing little waves into bigger and bigger o       (5) .
The size of a wave is d       (6) by how strong the wind is, how l       (7) it blows, and how large the body of water is. In a small bay(海湾)big waves will never build up. But at sea the wind can build up giant, powerful waves.
It is believed that the height of a wave(in meters)will usually be no m       (8) than one-tenth of the wind's speed(in kilometers). In other words, when the wind is blowing at 120 kilometers an hour,most waves will be twelve meters high or less. Of course,some waves m       (9) combine to form giant waves that are much h       (10) .
