问题     The cowboys who lived in the United States of America before there were good roads or big modern cities used to live on the huge open spaces of grassland called ranges, because that was where the cows that they looked after could find plenty of grass and water. But when the time came to sell the cows, there were no buyers out on the range-they had to be taken into market.
    In the early days it was a hard job getting the cows to the markets where they were killed. It was no good killing them on the ranges because there were no lorries or railways to carry the meat. The cattle had to be driven along in a large herd to the towns where they were needed.
    The places with lots of people who needed meat were often hundreds or thousands of miles away from the ranges. The cattle were rounded up, and those to be sent away were kept together. On the trail the leader was the trail boss, who told the men which jobs to do. He decided where they should camp at night.
    Hundreds or maybe thousands of cattle were taken on the trail. The herd was not made to move too quickly-if they rushed along, they would get thin and not be worth much at market. Some cowboys rode beside them, some in front and others at the back. Cows that moved too slowly were hurried along. Cows which tried to get away were made to go back to the herd.
The cowboys used to live______.
选项 A、in big cities
B、near the market place
C、in the United States
D、on ranges
