Reading — Farm vs city
Choose the correct answer.
The thing I like most about living on a farm when I was small was the change of seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. I could see them all come and go and each one was completely different. If I hadn’t been born and raised in the country, I would have never been able to tell the difference. Now in the city, you can buy summer flowers in winter and eat the same vegetables all the year round. Whereas, in the country I could only eat things at certain times of the year. For example, strawberries in June and turnips in winter lived my childhood with the seasons. Also we made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food. Everything was fresh, so it must be better than the type of food I am taking now in the city. City people think that people in the country miss a lot of good things about modern life, but in my opinion they miss a lot more than them. They miss a real life.
What is the main idea of the passage?
- The author used to live in the country.
- Food in the country in comparison to that in the city.
- There are four seasons in the countryside.
- Comparison between life on a farm and that in the city.
The word “them” in line 2 refers to
- modern things
- city people
- four seasons
- country people
According to the author, the seasons on a farm were
- very different from one another
- different from those in the city
- the same as those in the city
- very beautiful but boring
What can be inferred about the experience of seasons in a year for the city people?
- They can see different seasons come and go.
- It may be hard to tell seasonal difference.
- Food is similar in all four seasons.
- Seasons in a year are similar.
