People of a city are often proud (自豪的) of living in it. People of Manchester believes that there is no better city than Manchester; people of Liverpool feel the same way about Liverpool. Outsiders and passing travelers may be interested in what the difference is between one city and another. Maybe they remember Newcastle because of its bridge over the River Tyne, or Liverpool because of its docks (码头). There is one difference which most people can hear; that is the different ways of speaking and also some words which are used only in one place. In Newcastle, for example, "hoy" is used instead of "throw", and "marra" instead of "friend", as is shown in the sentence "Hoy the ball to me", and "He's my marra at work in the factory."
Where do many British people hope to live to stay away from noises and dirty air?
A.In big cities.
B.In small towns.
C.In the countryside.
