单选题In Mount Berry, Georgia, people find a group of schools built specially for mountain children. The schools, as well as the mountain itself, are named after Martha Berry herself, a daughter of a Georgian mountaineer. Martha Berry was born in 1866. Luckier than most Georgian mountain children, she received an education. But she never forgot other children of the mountains whose parents couldn' t afford to spend them to school. In 1902 Martha Berry started a school for these children. It was housed in a single small log cabin and was attended by only five pupils. Now, eighty years later, there are a score of Berry Schools in the area, with a total of over one thousand students and a waiting list of about five thousand. Martha Berry in her later years received many medals and honors for what she had done for the poor mountain children of Georgia, and in 1931 she was named one of the twelve most important women in the United States. She never stopped working for the mountain children till her death in 1942.

单选题When I was a little boy, I often dreamed of leaving home and escaping to a big city. We lived on a farm, and we always felt that we were quite cut off from the outside world, especially in the winter. As soon as I graduated from school, I packed my bags and moved to Shanghai-known as a sophisticated metropolis. However, I soon found that life in the city had its own problems too. There are several disadvantages in the city, First and foremost, it usually costs too much, especially with the soaring price like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. As I suffered from asthma (哮喘) when I was young, I am afraid of awful weather or polluted air, which makes it impossible for me to go outing. Travelling is also one of the problems. Although I have a car, I seldom used it because of the bumper-to-bumper traffic. As is known to all, every coin has two sides. It holds true for city life. First, we can do a lot of interesting things here. You can enjoy all kinds of creativity or entertainment. Besides, people in the city are more easily provided with good jobs and have more opportunities to get advanced. Finally, if you like shopping, there are a variety of goods for you to choose from, What's more, shops can be seen everywhere and are often within walking distance. Is life better in the city than that of countryside or rural areas? Perhaps it is, when you are young. However, as you gradually get older, and especially when you have children, the tranquility of the countryside may seem more attractive to you. I really hope I can move back where I grew up soon.
