18、f my local supermarket, reading the country of origin labels, I am bewildered by the geography of it all. That the fruits of the earth should all be laid out on tidy shelves in this provincial corner of Britain would have been unthinkable a few years ago, yet now it is taken for granted.Once strange
19、 and exotic fruits that only the rich could afford, if not now part of everyones diet, are certainly part of our everyday shopping experience.

Reading Comprehension (38 points)Passage 1I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in th
22、e country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself that it werent for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But how realistic is the dream?Cities can be frightening places. Th
23、e majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervouscooped up at home
24、 all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks dont even say hello to each other.Country life, on the other hand, differs
25、 from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together.

28、g of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things, and that life doesnt come to an end at half-past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two; they have expressed their preference
29、for the “quiet life” by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling
30、original inhabitants of the villages.What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning” to the locals as they pass by? Im keen on the idea, but you see theres my cat, Toby, Im not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass, I mean, ca
