綜合類C級(jí)：完形填空The Recreative Function

The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to (14) 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 shopping you can nowhere (15) 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.
