The thing I liked most when I was small was the change of seasons. Spring, summer,

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 live 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

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the question
Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise.
It can help to increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and
a stronger heart. But increasing your strength is not the only advantage of cycling.
Because you’re not carrying the weight of your body on your feet, it’s a good form of
exercise for people with painful feet or backs. However, with all forms of exercise it’s
important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing too much too quickly can damage
muscles that aren’t used to working. If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for
health reasons, talk to your doctor and ask for his/her advice.
Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be
doing you good, you should get a little out of breath. Don’t worry that if you begin to lose
your breath, it could be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart.
This is simply not true; shortness of breath shows that the exercise is having the right
effect. However, if you find you are in pain then you should stop and take a rest.
29. People with back problems might go cycling because__________.
A. it enables them to carry the weight of their body on their feet
B. it does not make them carry the weight of their body on their feet
C. it helps to make their backs become stronger
D. it helps them to relieve their backache
30. All forms of exercise must be started__________.
A. gradually
B. quickly
C. strenuously
D. violently
31. According to the writer, it is best to go cycling__________.
A. once a week
B. at least two or three times a week
C. at least two or three times a day
D. every day
32. You should not worry about the shortness of breath because__________.
A. it shows that there is something wrong with your heart
B. it shows that you should stop and take a rest
C. it is a sign of exercise having the right effect
D. it is a sign of your getting rid of your heart problem
33. Which of the following is NOT included in the advantages of cycling?
