问题    Greenspace facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-evident statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of greenspaees in the urban environment is a first step on the fight way, this does not mean, however, that sufficient details are known about the functions of greenspace in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants are using these spaces. As to this rather complex subject i shall, within the scope of this lecture, enter into one aspect only, namely tile recreative function of greenspace facilities.
   The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town-and-country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportionate attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas there was relatively little attention for improvement of recretative possibilities in the direct neighborhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street-door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect.
   The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets, because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shop ping you can nowhere find a spot for enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street-door of your house is closed after you.
The author suggests that the recreative possibilities of greenspace should be provided______.
选项 A、in special areas
B、in the suburbs
C、in the neighbourhood of the house
D、in gardens and parks
答案C
解析 第二段中作者认为不重视改善住宅周围地区的娱乐设施是不对的，而且“So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street-door of the house．”，所以提供娱乐的绿化地带应建在“住宅的周围”，[C]是正确答案。
