Banford now has a population approaching 100,000 .In 1950 it was only a village, but under the Planning Act of 1955 it was scheduled as the site for a new town with a population of 300,000 by 1990. It was planned as a growth area for light industry, which the Government attracted by providing interest-free loans to companies willing to move there. The town has several new housing estates, good school and plenty of built-in green spaces. As with many new towns, however, it lacks leisure facilities. There was so much basic building required that the building of entertainment facilities had to be neglected.

Because the housing, school and parks are good, Banford is popular with younger married couples with children. The older residents, however, are not so impressed with what the town has become; they remember when Banford was a village with calm and rural charm and they do not see what they have gained by it’s expansion to offset the noise and other urban problems. For them, the new Banford lacks character, warmth, and any real focal point. They say that it is more difficult to meet people now and that they are even afraid of going out at night because of gangs of teenagers. The young people, for their part, express their boredom-complaining that there is nothing for them to do in Banford. They feel that the town has a population of a big city but none of its attractions; a town with more night life, amusement centres, and sports facilities would better suit their needs.

1. The government attracted industry by providing

A. financial incentives B. a large labour force C. good housing D. green spaces.

2. When was the new town built?

A. the green spaces were built on B existing parks were left.

C. parks were included in the design D. green spaces were attracted to the schools.

3. Young couples like Banford because

A. it satisfies their needs. B. it has many housing estates.

C. there are plenty of jobs D. it has rural charm.

4. The old people think that

A. Brandord has no real center B. the town is badly heated

C. The townspeople dont want them C. the young people are bored

5. Teenagers would like to Branford to be

A. more like the village it was B. more like a big city

C. less populated D. more friendly

MY VILLAGE

We are Khmer Krom, one of the biggest ethnic groups in the south of Viet Nam. We live by farming - mostly rice - and fishing on the Mekong River. Life is sometimes hard as our work depends heavily on the weather. When it is not harvest time, the men of the village go fishing from early morning and don't return until late afternoon. By the time they return, most of the village women will be waiting for them on the river bank. They wait to buy the fish, which they will later sell at the local market or bring to the nearby town for a higher price. We children will be there too. We love running around the beach and waiting for the boats to come in.

Our most important festival of the year is the Chol Chnam Thmay, which celebrates the New Year. It falls mid-April. Every family tries to prepare well for the festive activities. The community also visits and helps poor families so that everybody has a happy New Year.

1.What does the Khmer's work depend on?

2.What do the men of the village do when it is not harvest time?

3.Who will be waiting for the fishing boats to return at the end of a fishing day?

4.When do the Khmer Krom celebrate New Year?
