Most of us trade money for entertainment. Movies, concerts and shows are enjoyable but expensive. (78) If you think that you can't have a good time without spending a lot of money, read on. A little resourcefulness and a few minutes of newspaper—scanning should give you some pleasant surprises.
People may be the most interesting show in a large city. Stroll through busy streets and see what everybody else is doing. You will probably see people from all over the world; you will certainly see people of every age, size, and shape, and you'll get a free fashion show, too. Window—shopping is also a safe sport—is the stores are closed.
Check the listings in your neighborhood paper. Local colleges or schools often welcome the public to hear an interesting speaker or a good debate. The film or concert series at the local public library probably won't cost you a penny. Be sure to check commercial ad vertisements too. A flea market can provide hours of pleasant brow sing. Perhaps you can find a free cooking or crafts in a department store.
Plan ahead for some activities. It is always more pleasant not to have people in front of you in a museum or at a zoo. You may save some money, too, since these places often set aside one or two free admission days at slow times during the week. (79) Pretend that you are a tourist from time to time, and get to know your city all over a gain including the indispensable (不可错过的) sights that people travel miles to see. If you feel like taking an interesting walk, find a free walking tour, or plan one yourself. You will see your city in a new perspective (视角) once you know more about its history or its architectural treasures. With imagination and a spirit of adventure you can quite easily find good entertainment at no cost at all.

A．There are many kinds of amusements you can enjoy without spending much money.
B．Local colleges often hold meetings to debate the issues people are interested in.
C．The film shown at the local public library is often free of charge.

City traffic jam—one of the least wanted effects of the motor vehicle—is something with which we're all familiar and for which most of us have an answer. But which solution is best？
Some people suggest for better roads, others for cars to be banned (禁止) from city centers and yet others say better public transport would attract drivers from their lonely and boring journeys.
But the important question is what natural power creates a big city center. We are, after all, in an age of electronic communication; our big shopping areas have moved out of city centers, and our living areas moved out of them long ago.
Yet some force causes offices and service industries related to them to gather in London or New York or Tokyo. This suggests that far from the problems of a crowded environment forcing companies and people to move out, there is a critical (重大的) size beyond which more companies are attracted to move in. Nobody seems to know why, yet the answer is important to the way traffic jam is dealt with.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as the cause of the traffic problem？
A．The poor public transport.
B．The over-concentration of shopping centers.
C．The great number of cars in the city centers.
D．The bad road conditions.
