At a certain time in our lives we consider every place as the possible sites for a house. I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one after another, and I knew their prices.
The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what I gave for it.
The real attraction of the Hollowell farm to me was its position, being about two miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded on one side by the river, and separated from the highway by a wide field. The poor condition of the house and fences showed that it hadn’t been used for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apple trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.
I was not really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I don’t think I was ready for a large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted. It makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What do we know about the speaker?
27. Why did the speaker decide to buy the Hollowell place?
28. Why did the speaker want to buy the farm in a hurry?
29. What does the speaker believe as important in life?
选项
A、He made money by buying and selling farms.
B、He made a study of many farms before buying.
C、He had the money to buy the best farm in the country.
D、He wanted to buy the oldest farm near where he lived.
答案
B
解析
选项中的He,buying,buy the oldest farm表明,本题考查He买农场的相关情况。短文开始提到I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live,接着从说话者买Hollowell农场可具体得知说话者在买农场之前进行过大量的勘察和研究,故答案为[B]。
