听力原文: If you only need to travel a short distance, the quickest way to travel in most cities is to walk. During working hours (between approximately 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday), tile traffic is very heavy on most city streets, sometimes, coming to a complete stop in places. As a result, many people prefer to walk. You should therefore be aware of some of the traffic laws. It is against the law in many cities to cross tile street at any place except at the corner. These rules may not be followed as closely, because the traffic is usually not so heavy. However, the purpose of the laws is to provide for the safety and protection of the people. Remember to look both ways for auto- mobiles when you cross the street.

First of all, the winter season usually begins in December and ends in early March. The coldest month is January, and temperatures can drop below freezing for most of this month. The city usually averages about 30 inches of snow during this entire, 3-month period. Occasionally, we have snow storms that can drop a foot of snow in a very short period of time. Winter activities during this season include sledding, skiing, and snowshoeing.
Spring usually arrives in late March, and the temperatures hover around 50 degrees during the day. It is a beautiful season because the flowers start to bloom. It is sometimes, windy, and this is great for flying,kites. People in my city often like to go on picnics, stroll through parks, and play outdoor games.
Next, summer starts in June, as temperatures slowly rise to around 80 degrees. The summer is very dry with little rain throughout the season. Popular activities are hiking, fishing, camping, and outdoor sports including soccer.
Finally, summer changes to fall in late September when the weather cools off, and the trees begin to change colors. A lot of people enjoy driving into the mountains and viewing the fall colors. It is also a time when people clean up their yards and gardens in preparation for the winter season.
So, as you can see, my city has a lot to offer no matter when you visit this area.

The five parts, or boroughs, of New York City are Manhattan, Queens, Bronz, Richmond and Brooklyn. Al- though Manhattan is not all of New York, it is the heart of the city. It is an island, which is only about 13 miles long and 2 miles wide. From the air its shape looks like a long finger, and from the sea it’s just like the picture we all know. Those tall, straight buildings -- the skyscrapers -- packed so close together on that island of rock are some- times seen in the distance through a veil of early morning mist. You have imagined it so often that now it’s difficult to believe this beautiful sight is real, and unless your heart is as hard as stone, excitement will mark it beat a little faster. Perhaps "greatest"," tallest"," longest", "biggest"," brightest", are the words you will find most often in the city guide books.
______ places in America are mentioned in this passage besides New York City.
A.4
B.5
C.6
D.7
