阅读理解 As a girl who has lived in both places, I can tell you that country living certainly beats the city life! Living in a village has advantages that simply can't be bought at any price. In the city, I was tired of the sounds of horns blowing and sirens blaring (警报声). In the country, I'm surrounded by the singing of birds, along with the pleasant sound of a cool breeze flowing through the trees. On congested city streets, I had to deal with tired drivers and careless pedestrians (行人). On winding country roads, I have to try my best to ignore the postcard—like beauty of the farmland and forests so I can keep my eyes on the road. Yes, country living is the lifestyle that I, like most people who have had the opportunity to experience it, prefer. Instead of salespeople knocking on my door hoping to leave with some of my money, I have warm, friendly neighbors dropping by with baskets of fresh vegetables from their gardens — not to sell of course. They simply enjoy sharing the rewards of their country lifestyles with others. Living in the country means that I can get up at 8: 00 in the morning and enjoy a leisurely jog down a path or simply sit on a riverbank under a big tree with a fishing pole in my hand. Yes, I do enjoy my country lifestyle! Having spent much of my life living in many cities around the world, I can now enjoy the peace and quietness of my country home. For me, a country lifestyle makes it easy to look forward to the next day! （1） The passage mainly tells us why__________.
