阅读理解。     My first experience of modern city life was quite impressive. I was very curious when I arrived in
London. First, I noticed so many people were on a trip in a busy way.  When I first saw the machine on
the underground where you are expected to feed your ticket in and have to run through moving barriers (拦板), I was completely fascinated (被迷住了) at it. Flashing with the light, the little green man, telling
you when to cross the road, was also quite interesting, and so were those street advertisements which
kept changing subjects as you look.
     In my native place, my life is so different from people’s here. I am a market gardener from Makono,
a village which is led by a market-managing group. People there usually walk two hours a day to get
water from a well. What’s more, I am used to going, for many hours, without drinking , so it was strange
to be offered cups of tea all the time here in London.
     In my native place, on market days, I usually walk for several hours with my basket full of fruits and
vegetables on my head, carrying them to the market for sale, to earn ￡1per basket. Without the produce
from my garden, I could not pay for education or healthcare for my children. Gardening is not a hobby
for me - it’s survival . But here people are planting something only to kill their leisure time.
     During our visiting-time in Britain, we visited some local government agencies, schools, churches and
farms in Sussex, Scotland, Yorshire, Loncolnshire and Cambridgeshire, meeting people who were of the
same profession as we are. Children in Burley-in-Wharfedale, Yorkshire, prepared a special get-together
to greet us and we were also asked a lot about our life which was quite fascinating to them. For example,
how we make our houses out of mud and how we get our water for our daily necessities, as well as for
