阅读短文，回答下列问题。
Mrs Li is over seventy years old. She has lived in Beijing all her life. She is being interviewed about life today and in the past.
What was your life like in the past?
My family lived in a small house. There were no electric lights, only candles(蜡烛). My father was a postman, and he often worked for long hours. My mum was a farm girl before she met my father. She didn’t go out to work. There were five children in my family.
I still remember the family meals. The food was simple. We could only eat meat once or twice a year. I didn’t go to school because my parents couldn’t afford(付得起)it.
How has your life changed?
Transport and travel are easier today. When I was young, I went here and there on foot or sometimes by bike. Now I can take the bus everywhere, and there’s also the underground for people to take. And quite a few people can take a plane to anywhere in the world. The only thing I don’t like, though, is that there’s so much more traffic.
Of course, we didn’t have televisions when I was a child. I really enjoy watching TV today in my free time. There are so many good programmes. But some of the shows are too noisy for me, so I don’t like them.
Generally speaking, I think life is much better today. We eat better and we live longer.
1. Why didn’t Mrs Li go to school?
2. How did Mrs Li use to travel?
3. What do you think of Mrs Li’s life today?

### 六、任务型阅读
阅读短文，回答下列问题。
李太太已经七十多岁了。她一生都住在北京。她正在接受关于现在和过去生活的采访。
过去你的生活是什么样的？
我家住在一个小房子里。没有电灯，只有蜡烛。我父亲是一名邮递员，他经常工作很长时间。我妈妈在遇到我父亲之前是个农村姑娘。她不出去工作。我家有五个孩子。
我仍然记得家庭聚餐。食物很简单。我们一年只能吃一两次肉。我没有上学，因为我的父母负担不起学费。
你的生活发生了怎样的变化？
如今交通和出行都更便捷了。我年轻的时候，我步行或有时骑自行车到处走。现在我可以乘公共汽车去任何地方，也有地铁供人们乘坐。而且相当多的人可以乘飞机去世界上的任何地方。不过，我唯一不喜欢的是交通变得拥挤多了。
当然，我小时候没有电视。我现在真的很喜欢在空闲时间看电视。有很多好节目。但有些节目对我来说太吵了，所以我不喜欢它们。
总的来说，我认为现在的生活好多了。我们吃得更好，寿命也更长。
1. 李太太为什么没有上学？
因为她的父母负担不起学费。
2. 李太太过去是怎么出行的？
步行或骑自行车。
3. 你觉得李太太现在的生活怎么样？
她现在的生活好多了，也更舒适了。（言之有理即可）
