B

    When old Mr Chow was a young man, he went to visit his uncle in the city. His wife and children met him at the train station when he arrived back in the countryside. When he got off the train, his wife asked, "Did you miss us?"

    "Yes, I missed you all. There's no place like home. Life in the city was strange. Uncle Tom lives in a modern neighbourhood (居住区), People go up to their homes in a big box." Mr Chow said.

    "You look tired." said Mrs Chow.

    "Yes, I need to sleep. I couldn't sleep at night because the light was much brighter (更亮）than the candle in our house."

    "Why didn't you blow it out?" asked Mrs Chow.

    "I tried (尝试）to, but it was in a glass ball." said Mr Chow.
