Looking at his beautiful green lawns, Ed Adams can’t help smiling – thanks to a bit of bravery and a lot of hard work, he’s now enjoying the life that is just a fantasy for most of us.

Five years ago, Ed and his wife Laura, along with their three children, moved from their narrow house in the city to the a much larger and more peaceful property in the country. Having grown up on a farm, Ed, a video producer, longed for a more rural lifestyle. Then, in 2016, a new job came up for Ed in the US. They were about to set off when the whole deal was canceled. Although disappointed, it inspired them to buy a new home in rural north Buckinghamshire.

Soon, the whole family moved to their new home, Church End Cottage. They also came up with a plan to turn some of their extra space into an attractive home hotel to increase their family income, which meant lots of building work to create two extra guest rooms.

Besides, with all the building work, the garden had become a mess. To get it back into shape, he had to reseed all the lawns. In time the lawns grew back, but Ed admits keeping them clean and tidy is a big job, especially on top of his daily commute to work in London and the responsibilities of running the home hotel.

Now, there comes a cutting-edge robotic mower. Rather than spending hours working up and down, he is delighted to find he can relax himself while the mower does all the hard work. For Ed, who also has a dog and keeps chickens, the biggest attraction is being able to get so much time back. He says: “Instead of spending boring hours pushing the mower, I can take time to plant the flowerbeds or help out with the hotel. It also means I can spend more time with the kids.”

1.What does the word “bravery” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A.The decision to move to a rural area. B.The decision to open a home hotel.

C.The chance to move to the US. D.The dream of living in a rural area.

2.Why did they decide to open a home hotel?

A.They wanted to serve guests.

B.They wanted to add to their income.

C.They wanted to make full use of their space.

D.They wanted to have more people in their house.

3.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A.Ed finds it easy to keep the lawns tidy.

B.Ed is completely running the home hotel now.

C.The robotic mower can do the work by itself.

D.With the help of the robotic mower, Ed can do fewer other things.
