VI. Choose the word or phrase among A, B, C or D that best fits the blank in the following passage.

I live in a small village ealled Northville. There are about 2000 people here. I love the village 31 _________ it is very quiet and life is slow and easy. The village is always clean; people look 32 _________ it with great care. The air is always clean, too. People are much more friendly here than in a city because everyone 33 _________ the others, and if someone has a problem, there are always people who can help.
There are only a few things that I don't like about Northville. One thing is that we have not got many things to do in the evening; we haven’t got 34 _________ cinemas or theaters. The other thing is that people always talk about 35 _________, and everyone knows what everyone is doing. But 1 still prefer village life to life in a big city.

VII. Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage.

The thing I liked 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 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. 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.
