American cities are similar to other cities around the world: In every country, cities reflect（反映）the values of the culture. American cities are changing, just as American society is changing.
After World War Ⅱ, the population of most large American cities became smaller; however, the population shifts（转移）to and from the city reflect the changing values of American society. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, city residents（居民）became richer. They had more children so they needed more space. They moved out of their flats in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs（郊区）.
Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults. Many, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older ones of the Northeast and Midwest. Many young people are moving back into the city. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; or they just enjoy the excitement and what the city offers.
This population shift is bringing problems as well as some advantages. Countless poor people must leave their flats in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make flats for sale instead of for rent（租金）. In the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.
Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying. Some city residents now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems. One thing is sure: many dying cities are alive again.

For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping--watching TV and buying things by phone. Now teleshopping is starting in Europe. In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, food, toys and many other things.
Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made 100 million dollars. In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about 20 million dollars a year buying things through those channels.
In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open telebusiness, including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. German businesses are hoping that this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
Some people like teleshopping because it allows（允许）them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason. But at the same time, other Europeans don't like this new way of shopping. They call teleshopping “junk（垃圾）on the air.” Many Europeans usually worry about the quality（质量）of things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.
The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyer can not touch or see in person.
l. Teleshopping is ________ in Europe.
[ ]
(2)People like teleshopping because it is ________.
[ ]
(3)Some Europeans don't like teleshopping because they ________.
[ ]
A．don't like to buy things
B．don't watch TV
C．believe the things sold on TV are expensive
D．think the things sold on TV are of bad quality
(4)In Germany, teleshopping may ________.
[ ]
A．help businessmen get more money
B．keep the shops open longer
C．have fewer buyers
D．bring better TV programmes
(5)The best title of the passage is ________.
