READING COMPREHENSION I. Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage.(1m) The thing I like most 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. Now in the city, you can buy flowers summer in winter and eat the same vegetables all the year round. Whereas, in the country, I could only eat things at certain time of the year, for example, strawberries in June and turnips in winter. I lived my childhood with the seasons. We also 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 may think people in the country miss a lot of things about modern life. In fact, in my opinion they miss a lot more than people in the country, they miss real life. 19.What did the writer like most about living in the country? A. Flowers in Spring. B. Leaves in autumn.
