B. Read the text about Britain and circle the best answer (1.0 pt)
Besides its beauty, the countryside of Britain is well known for many contrasts: its bare
mountains and moorland, its lakes, rivers and woods, and its long, often wild coastline. National parks
which are protected from development by the government have the most beautiful and picturesque
scenery. British people often associate the countryside with farmland, open spaces like fields of wheat
and barley, green fields enclosed by hedges or stone walls in which cows or sheep are raised. Most
farmland is now owned by individual people or independent companies. However, the government
has built a network of public footpaths across the farmland.
Many British people enjoy the peace and relaxation of life in the countryside where they can
spend their free time walking, cycling, or going for a picnic or a pub lunch. In summer they can pick
strawberries and other fruit in fruit farms. Nowadays, few rural people work on farms. Many of
them commute to work in towns. Many others wish to live in the countryside so that they would have
a better and healthier lifestyle.
