VIII. Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D.
Back in the 19th century, on the Iowa frontier, most homes had to produce nearly all their own needs. They lived on farms that raised much of their own food, and children became an important part of the family team. They learned to contribute to the family's survival at an early age. They gathered eggs, worked in the garden, carried in wood and water and perhaps cared for younger brothers and sisters. As girls got older, they learned to cook, sew, preserve food for the winter, do the washing and care for the sick. Boys helped their father with the livestock, planting and harvest, hunting, and maintenance of buildings and fences. Their opportunities for education were limited to whatever a nearby school offered. When there were heavy demands for their help on the farm, like during corn picking, older boys had to stay at home to help.
However, life for Iowan children has changed a lot. It has become much easier in many ways. And with the invention of computers, the internet and cell phones, children have greater opportunities to connect with friends and the outside world.
Note: Iowa is a state in the upper Midwestern region of the United States of America.
