题目大意：作为一个城市的领导想要保障城市的繁荣，要做以下

三项：为失业人员提供就业机会，降低食物价格，提供经济适用房。

波波建议选择为失业人员提供工作，证明其重要性，然后另外一段将

两个选项的不必要性阐述明白。

In a society changing amazingly, that how to gurantee

the prosperity and success of a city， the common target of

all citizens，has always been brought under the spotlight of the massive media. When talking about which factor plays the most crucial role in ensuring city's smooth development, among creating job vacancy, lowering food price or adjusting housing price, people’s notion va ries from one to another. From my perspective, providing job opportunities for the unemployed is the best choice.

To be specific, with the accruing wealth, an increasing number of people will purchase a private car to commute to their office, with the result that the whole industry of automobiles will experience a booming period. The same logic can also be true of other industries and fields.

Furthermore, there are obvious disadvantages of the other two policies, lowering the food price and making the price of house affordable. Despite the fact that keeping the food price low and providing affordable housing will lessen the financial burden of the dwellers in the city in a short term, these two practices would hinder the future success of the whole society. To illustrate, the low price of food will definitely decrease the income of food producers, especially the farmers who support their family by selling what they plant and raise. As a result, they are likely to have great difficulty in making their ends meet, thus ending up becoming homeless or jobless. Also, in a long run, increasing housing affordability wi ll put a damper on the citizens’ passion for creating wealth and thus decrease the dynamics of the whole
