(二) Passage（共4小题，5x4=20分）

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, in the winter especially, we wear quite out

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 my life has its 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,

and the air is so that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of

traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it became 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

you taste 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 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.

56. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?

A. Staying on the farm.
