Cities can be frightened places. The majority of__1__
the population live in noisy massive tower blocks. The
sense of belonging to a community tends to appear__2__
when you live thirty floors up in a skyscraper. Strange__3__
enough, whereas in the past the inhabitants of one
street all knew each other, nowadays people on the
same floor in tower blocks even say hello to each __4__
other.
Country life, on the other hand, differs from this
kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community
generally keep the inhabitants of a small village togeth- __5__
er. People have the advantage of knowing that there is
always someone to turn to when they need help. So __6__
country life has disadvantages too. For example,
shopping becomes a major problem and for anything
slightly out of the ordinary you have to go for an expe- __7__
dition to the nearest large town. The country has the
advantage of peaceful and quiet, but suffers from the __8__
disadvantages of being cut off. The city has noise and
population which do harm to human health. But one of
their main advantages is that you are at the centre of __9__
things and that life doesn’t come to an end even at ten
at night. Some people have found a compromise be-
tween the two: they expressed their preference for the
quiet life by leaving for the city and moving to the __10__
country within commuting distance of the large city.

6.把so 改为but/yet
上文提到了村子糊口的益处，下文是转折，要用but或者yet。
