原文+答案解析

050.
Ladies and gentleman,
Welcome. Now let me introduce my home town to you. I hope you will enjoy the beautiful countryside with me, as your guide.
My hometown is a very ordinary place, no different from any other small town in the area. There are about two thousand people living here, many of whom go to the big cities to do odd jobs. What then makes this place a famous resort? You can find the answer in the beautiful scenery in the countryside. It is a place where you can see many tall trees, where wide roads run alongside big farms, and where a big river flows. You can see a lot of ducks on the river's white sheet of water which opens out into a big bay by the sea.
Every morning, we jog, enjoy the fresh air and meet our neighbors on the roads. People who are fond of walking their pets will also be found along the roads in the morning, often in groups, talking pleasantly to their friends and neighbors. You can also see people involved in other recreation activities such as playing badminton, dancing and flying kites.
Besides these, some experts say there are many valuable minerals under the ground. They predict if some day we begin to mine our countryside, we will become richer and richer by exporting the minerals to other countries. I think many countries are bound to begin using these minerals soon.
