2.Read the passage and tick True (T) False (F).(1pst)
Few Americans live in the areas of wild and beautiful scenery, like the Western states of Montana and
Wyoming. We often see small farms surrounded by hills and green areas in the New England states,
such as Vermont and New Hampshire. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other Midwestern states, there are
very large fields of corn or wheat with great distances between towns.
About a quarter of Americans live outside cities and towns because life there is harder. Shops, post
offices, hospitals, schools, etc. may be further away and it takes rural people a very long time to get
there. However, many people choose to live in the countryside because of its safe, clean, and attractive
environment. But their children often move to a town or city when they grow up.
