III. Circle best option A, B, C or D to answer following questions (1.0pt)
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 turnipsin winter. I 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 may think
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 real life.

D. the author takes frozen and tinned food now

Tape trasncript: (track 21 -CD ENGLISH )
Are you looking for a cheap, clean, effective source of power that doesn’t cause pollutionor waste
natural resources? Look no further than solar energy from our sun. At present , most of our
electricity comes fromthe use of coal, gas, oil, or nuclear power. This power could be provided by
the sun. One percent of the solar energy that reaches the Earth is enough to provide for the total
population.
Many countriesare already using solar energy. Solar panels are placed on the roof of a house and
the sun’s energy is used to heat water. The energy can be stored for a number of days, so on cloudy
days you can use solar energy too.
Sweden has an advanced solar energy program. There, all buildings will be heated by solar
energy and cars will use solar power instead of gas by the year 2015.
