问题     The young people who talk of the village as being "dead" are talking nothing but nonsense, as in their hearts they must surely know.
    No, the village is not dead. There is more life in it now than there ever was. But it seems that "village life" is dead. Gone forever. It began to decline (衰落) about a hundred years ago, when many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left home in increasing number in search of a work, and home was where work was. There are still a number of people alive today who can remember. What" village life" meant the early years of the present century? It meant knowing and being known by everybody else in the village. It meant finding your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it. It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day. It meant going to bed early to save lamp-oil and coal.
    Then came the First World War and the Second World War. After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers. The long-established order of society was no longer taken for granted. Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make" village life" and" town life" almost alike. Now with the highly developed science and technology and high-level social welfare lor all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about "village life". It is just life, and that a better life.
    Finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes, which we have seen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid-morning; or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups. Obviously these children are better fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked the village street.  
From the passage we can see that the writer’s attitude toward"village life" is______.
选项 A、positive
B、negative
C、neutral
D、unclear
答案A
解析 态度判断题。作者在第二段说到“But it seems that’ village life’ is dead．Gone forever．It began to decline about a hundred years ago…”但现在看来，乡村生活好像已经死了，一去不复返。它是大约100年前开始衰落的……。作者用了“衰落”一词来表示他对乡村生活发生变化的态度，可见，他对乡村生活持积极态度。
