  I came to India a year ago to find a village in which I could live and write but it was many months before I settled down(定居).

  I wasted a lot of time looking for the“typical”(典型的)village. Yet no such thing exists. Often the villagers themselves were puzzled. Why had I come? I had put aside my work as a newspaper reporter because my ideas had changed. I had come to believe that what was happening in the developing countries was more important than anything else. But to understand how three quarters of the world's people live, and how their future might affect ours, I felt that I first had to try and share their way of life.

  In the end I chose a mountain village because it was a little cooler than those in down a path to the river. After this I began the climb into the hills. Every time I stopped to catch my breadth, there was a wonderful sight. After several hours' walk the village was in sight.

[  ]

A.he settled down at once

B.he spent a year writing about the place he lived

[  ]

A.the villagers liked to ask him a lot of questions

B.he was looking for a place that doesn't exist

C.all the villagers knew where it was

D.the villagers made him feel puzzled

(3) Before he came to India, the writer __________.

[  ]

A.had written for newspapers

B.had been a high official

C.had decided to do no more work

D.had been removed from his job

(4) The writer decided to change his way of life because__________.

[  ]

A.he thought living in a small village would be good for his health

B.he no longer found his work interesting

C.he wanted to live a quiet life in the countryside

D.he wanted to find out more about the developing countries
