一、阅读理解
Nowadays there are many people going from villages or small towns to big cities to realize their dreams，but there are also people doing the opposite.
Janet Lincoln moved to St. Louis five years ago. Here's what she said. "I used to live in a small town called Bertrand. I grew up there. After I graduated from high school，I worked in a supermarket. There were about 800 people in my town，and I knew most of them. Most of them knew me，too. At the age of 21，I got a chance and moved to St. Louis. I love it. I don't know as many people now as I used to，but that's OK.I live in an apartment and have a few good friends. There are a lot of fun things to do in the big city.”
Troy Henson has the opposite experience. He，his wife and their two children moved from St. Louis to Bloomfield three years ago. Here's what Troy said. “Both Darla and I grew up in St. Louis. We met at college and got married. Then the kids came along and life got difficult.
We didn't know any of our neighbors. We both had good jobs, and we were always very busy. But it seemed there was never enough money. That all changed when we moved to Bloomfield. We don't make as much money as we used to, but we don't have as many expenses as we did and we are relaxed. It's good.”

三、阅读问答
People have some useless or old things and they no longer want them. Yet it seems wasteful to throw them away. So they may say，“Let's have a yard sale.”
They put them outside their houses and put on a“For Sale”sign. This is called a yard sale. In some other parts，it might be called a garage sale. Sometimes the sellers put an announcement（布告）in a local newspaper. It tells when and where the yard sale will take place. It also lists some of the things to be sold. These sales are very popular during weekends in spring，summer and autumn. Sometimes，there are more clothes than anything else. Cooking equipment（炊具）is also popular. So are books，tables and chairs. Then there are objects such as old toys or tools which are called “white elephants”.A white elephant is something that you think is extremely（极其）expensive and useless.
Usually，the seller puts a price on each object at a yard sale. However，that price may not be the final price. A table marked "Ten Dollars" may be sold at five dollars at the end of the day. Some people go to the yard sale because they enjoy the hunt.
