My city has been changing since the municipal authority had a plan to renovate the canal systems. The
project cost a huge amount of money which was from the support of the world bank and the city’s budget.
Before the renovation, the canal was the dirtiest place full of rubbish along its sides. Many ramshackle shacks
were built to be shelters of the impoverished working families migrating to this city to earn their living.
Household wastes were directly dumped into the canal, resulting in the very contaminated environment. It
was said that the very unpleasant smell releasing from the canal was unable to be eliminated, and the living
condition there would not be better. However, thanks to the advanced technology and methods as well as the
city authority’s effort, everything has been changing. There is no longer the disgusting smell or shabby houses
along both sides of the canal. Instead, the road running parallel to the canal is now full of shade of greenery
and the water now is so clean that it is a friendly habitat for a variety of fish. The residents now can walk or
do morning exercise on the sidewalks along the banks to enjoy the fresh atmosphere. Former inhabitants are
also relocated in new apartments with much better living conditions than before. The canal creates not only a
beautiful urban landscape, but also brings a lot of economic benefits to local dwellers. Because of its
reformation, the city is changing fast too.
Question 26. The main topic of the passage is about _________.
A. the bad condition of the city canal
B. the modern look of the city
C. the change of the city because of the canal renovation
D. the reason why the local authority renovates the canal
Question 27. The word ‘impoverished’ in line 7 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. wealthy B.disadvantaged C.poor D.homeless
Question 28. People living there used to believe that _________.
A. the canal would not become better
B. the canal could be more improved
C. the canal was the best investment for the economic development
D. the unpleasant smell is the main pollution
Question 29. Which of the following is false about the residents?
A. They have better living conditions than before.
B. The advanced technology contributes to the better changing of their lives.
C. They can go for a walk along the canal without suffering from the unpleasant smell.
D. Many of them still live in shanty houses.

Blues is a kind of slow sad music with strong rhythms, It was developed by African-American musicians in

African Americans. Many elements of the blues have grown from the music of Africa and religious music.
The blues started at the end of the 19th century and the first blues sheet music appeared at the beginning of
the 20th century. Since then, it has developed into many styles such as country blues and urban blues. Several
