33、he centre.Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.I have been living in London for more than 60 years, but still, when Im driving and take some clever back-street short-cut, I catch myself thinking how extraordinary it is that I am doing this ! For a moment the town mouse I have become

34、 is being seen by the country mouse t used to be. And although, given a new start, I would again become a town mouse, when I visit relations in the country, I envy them.Recently, I stood beside a freshwater lake in Norfolk, made by diverting a small river, near where my brother lives. As he was iden

35、tifying some of the birds we could see, in came seven swans. They circled, then the haunting sound of their wing beats gave way to silence as they glided into a splash-down.It is not a “ picturesque“ part of the coast, but it has a definite character of line and fight and color. “You do live in a lo

41、e you are living in and on personality- your own and that of your neighbors. In my brothers Norfolk village, social life seems dizzying to a Londoner.

42、n the most dashing bargain breaks in Krakow or Prague or Venice, and are always going into Norwich for a concert or to Kings Lynn for an exhibition. The boring country life that people from cities talk about is a thing of the past-or perhaps that was only ever an impression.This is very unlike livin

43、g in a London street for 50 years and knowing only the names of four other residents. In these 50 years I have made only one real friend among them.
