One night, he decided to find out why. After it had got dark, he hid near his barn and watched. At last, a man came near with his own bag of grain. At first he didn't know who he was.

China covers large areas and has a big population. Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese has become a hot one: the way people shop at markets.
People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0. 25 kilograms of beef at a time.
However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying enough vegetables and meat for a week is normal. Also, you can buy a small amount(数量) of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.
The difference could be due to the different weather.
Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing(储存) food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.
( )70. Many northern Chinese have the habit of keeping food because____.
A. the weather there is hot and wet
B. food goes bad quickly
C. the weather there is cold and dry
D. they live far away from markets
( )71. The underlined words “due to” mean “____” in Chinese.
A. 所以 B. 但是 C. 然而 D. 因为
( )72. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Different Weather in China
B. Different Living Habits in China
C. Southern Chinese and Northern Chinese
D. Southern China and Northern China

Great Changes in My Hometown
In recent years, great changes have taken place in my hometown. I have experienced the changes myself.
Three years ago, there were fewer flowers or trees here. The river was dirty and smelt terrible because some factories poured the waste water into the river. We didn't dare to drink the water any more.
But now everything has changed a lot. The flowers and trees are here and there. The air is fresh and the water is clean. And you can see bees and butterflies dance. Most of the people have realized the importance of protecting the environment. To save energy and reduce air pollution, they often walk or ride bikes to work instead of driving cars.
Now people are living a comfortable life.
