1. 根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

    I live in a big city. I love my house because it is in a very good place just outside of the city. It is very quiet here. The houses here are all big and beautiful.

    There are no houses on the left or behind my house. To the right of my house is a big bungalow. There is a small park across the street. When I want to walk or relax, I usually go there.

    I am happy with my neighborhood except for one thing: There is no hospital near my house. That sometimes causes problems for the people living here. I think there should be a hospital in my neighborhood. Two days ago, one of my neighbors had a high fever and we had to travel 30 kilometers to the nearest hospital.

    I like to meet new people and make friends with them. I feel very happy because there is a club in the neighborhood. It is a great place to meet and know new people.
