III. Read the following passage and choose the item (a, b, c, or d) that best answers each of the questions about it.
Living in a big city today is very different from living in a small town long ago. Today if you want to go to the city center, it takes you a long time by bus or by car. If you ride a motorbike, you breathe all the exhaust fumes and feel sick. However, if you become ill, there are hospitals close by. Also if you like music and dancing, the discos and pubs offer a wide variety.
Long ago life was different. If people traveled, they used horses and carts. If they went a long distance, the journey took days, not hours. If they were ill, they didn’t go to the hospital, there were none. If there is a wedding or holiday, they sang and danced.
exhaust fumes (n) : khói thải horse and cart (n) : xe ngựa
