READING COMPREHENSION
A few years ago I moved with my family from the city to the country, and we now live in an old
farmhouse on the edge of a village. The house itself was built in the 1800s and looks like something out of a
novel. It’s an old stone house with very thick walls. These walls make the house slow to heat up in the winter,
so we always have a fire in the living room fire place in the winter months. And it is always cool inside in the
summer – too cool, actually, as the English summers never get that warm!
In the first paragraph, which of the following is TRUE about the farmhouse?
A. It is situated in the village center.
B. It needs a long time to get warm in the winter.
C. It is unusually cold inside during the summer.
D. It was built by the narrator’s family.

… For an old house, the ceilings are quite high, but they are also very thin. They are just the wooden floors of
the upstairs rooms. When the lights are on in the kitchen, they shine through the floorboards into the
bedroom above! And when you walk around upstairs, you can hear every step downstairs. Downstairs, the
floor are made of black stone and are old and uneven. In fact, the whole house isn’t straight. If you put a ball
in the middle of the dining room, it rolls immediately into the far right-hand corner.
Read the passage below and ANSWER the following question.
What does the word “they” in the passage refer to? _________________________________________.

READING COMPREHENSION
… The best thing about the house is the living room. It is a lovely, light room and I can spend hours looking
out of the window. The view is made even more interesting because the window has the original glass in it,
and each small pane of glass is different and alters the view outside. From the sofa you can look straight into
the garden, and to the fields beyond. The scene is always changing and there is always something to see,
including lots of different wildlife.
According to the third paragraph, in the living room, ______.
A. The sofa is put in a very good position.
B. The view outside is always the same.
C. It is quite dark because of the small door.
D. There is nothing to see outside the windowpanes.

Read the passage and choose the correct answer to the following question.
… It has taken me a while to appreciate this view, though. For a long time, I missed the noise and the bustle
of city life. I preferred to see people, shops and buses on my way to school, not fields and trees. And it took
me a long while to be able to sleep well at night – it was too quiet! Now I’ve got used to country life. I cycle
everywhere and I like the space and freedom. But I never wait too long before going back and visiting my old
friends in the city!

A. quiet  B. beauty C. view  D. hurry
