When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm and in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.
One big disadvantage is money—It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising—and , what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is , when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.
1.What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?
A.Staying on the farm. B.Moving to the countryside.

2.Which of the following is true about the writer?
A.He is very old now. B.He is in good health.
C.He prefers driving a car. D.He lives in the city now.

A.express his opinions about way of life B.describe his life in the countryside
C.show an interest in the outside world D.persuade the reader to live in the city
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Mother's Gift
I grew up in a small town when the primary school was a ten-minute walk from my house. When the noon bell rang, I would race breathlessly home. My mother would be standing at the top of the stairs, smiling down at me.
One lunch-time when I was in the third grade will stay with me always. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had rehearsed my lines so hard with me. But no matter how easily I acted at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator's (旁白的) part to the play, and asked me to change roles. Her words, kindly expressed, still hurt, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn't tell my mother what had happened when I went home for lunch that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard.
It was a lovely spring day and the rose vine (藤蔓) was turning green. Under the huge trees, we could see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) in the grass in bunch, as if a painter had touched our landscape with gold. I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion. ''I think I'm going to dig up all these weeds,'' she said, ''pulling it up by its roots. From now on, we'll have only roses in this garden.''
''But I like dandelions,'' I protested. ''All flowers are beautiful---even dandelions.''
My mother looked at me seriously. ''Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn't it? '' She asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. ''And that is true of people too,'' she added. ''Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.'' Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled.
