问题 What did the man have to do in the morning?
  
Now, you want to know about life in the past. Right? I can tell you. When I was a boy, things were different. I had to get up at six every morning. That was not very bad in summer, but in winter it was cold. And we didn’t have any hot water in the house. We had to wash in cold water. We didn’t have a bathroom. My dad had some chickens. I had to feed them every morning and then I had to walk to school with my little sister. It was two miles to school and two miles back in the evening. But it always seemed longer in the morning when we were going to school. There was a bus, but we didn’t have the money. And we had to go to bed at seven o’clock every night. We couldn’t watch TV because there wasn’t any. On Sundays we had to go to church three times — morning, afternoon and evening. And we couldn’t play outside on Sundays. But it wasn’t all bad. We had some good times. We could go out and our parents didn’t have to worry about us. There weren’t so many cars on the roads then, so the streets were safe to play in, And there were not many robbers and thieves in those days. We had to work hard and we weren’t able to buy all those things in the shops today. Life was hard, but it was simple and people were happier. I don’t think I’d like to be young today.

选项 A、He is a retired teacher of history.
B、He thinks children were happier in the past.
C、He lives on a farm far away from cities.

答案B

解析 由独白的最后两句可知,作者认为过去的人比现在快乐,他不想在现在变得年轻。这有两层意思:一是说话者现在不再年轻;二是由于他前面描述的都是自己的童年,因此他所说的“人们”实际上应当更侧重于孩子。对比选项可知应选[B]。
