Green-space facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-evident statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of green-spaces in the urban environment is a first step on the right way; this does not mean, however, that enough details are known about the functions of greenspaces in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants (居民) are using these spaces.

The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportionate (不成比例的) attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas (但是）there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obivous that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory (強(qiáng)制性的) activities can also have a recreative aspect.

The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets, because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot of enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street door of your house is closed after you.

1. According to the author, the importance of greenspaces in the urban environment _______.

A. is still unknown                     B. is being closely studied

C. is usually neglected                 D. has been fully recognized

2.The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation has led to _______.

A. the disproportion of recreation facilities in the neighborhood

B. all of the recreation facilities far from home

C. relatively little attention for recreative possibilities

D. the improvement of recreative possibilities in the neighborhood

3.The author suggests that the recreative possibilities of greenspaces should be provided _______.

A. in special areas                     B. in the suburbs

C. in the neighbourhood of the house        D. in gardens and parks

4. The author says “more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect” to _______.

A. suggest that obligatory activities don’t need to serious

B. show that recreation activities are very important

C. show how recreation activities have spread wildly

D. suggest how to offer recreation activities around home

5.Why would someone only feel himself at home according to the last paragraph?

A. One lives the very best standard of living.

B. There are too many distractions outside his home.

C. There are few recreations around his house.

D. One needs the street door of his house to be opened always.
