All big cities are quite similar. Living in a modern Asian city is not very different from living in an American city. But it is different from living on farms however.
In many parts of the world, farmers and their families live in villages or towns. In the United States, however, each family lives on its own fields and often can't see any neighbor. Instead of traveling from a village to the fields every morning. American farmers stay on their land all the week. They travel to the nearest town on Saturdays for shopping or on Sundays for church. The children ride on horses to large schools which serve all of the farm families living in the area. In some areas there are some small schools serving a few families and the children walk to school.
Of course, life keeps changing for everyone including farmers. Today there are cars, good roads, radios and TV sets. And of course, there are modern machines for faming now. All these have greatly changed farmers’ life.
Before, farming in America was often a lonely way of living for a long time. Farmers had to deal with their own problems, instead of getting help from others. They learned to try new ways, and thought of their own ideas instead of following old ways.

2.Why do the farmers in America travel to the nearest town on Saturdays?

C.Because they want to go church D.Because they want to sell fruit
3.What are the lives of the farmers in America like today?
A.They have a modern life B.They don’t change their lives
