Anna is our only daughter. My wife and I have two sons, and Anna is the youngest in the family, but she is twenty-five now. Anna was not well when she was little. It was a very worrying time and she stayed at home a lot. She was seen by the local doctor, and then she was sent to a specialist in Cardiff where she was diagnosed as a diabetic. It was my wife who mainly took care of her then. I am not very good at looking after little children. I suppose I am a bit traditional in that way. But when she grew up a bit, we spent a lot of time together. We loved walking and talking and discussing life. We still love it today. We get on very well.

Although she looks like me (tall, dark hair, dark eyes and dark skin)，she takes after her mother; she is artistic and musical，and like her mother she's attractive.

She loves looking after animals- she has two dogs，three cats and a goat. She lives in a little house in the country. I like animals too. I like riding and hunting, but Anna hates hunting. She thinks it's cruel. We discuss it a lot.

She is quiet and a bit shy with strangers. I am more outgoing and I love meeting new people. But she's not boring- actually, she's very funny. She always has lots of stories of her life in the country. She's an art and music teacher in a little village school.

She is very good-natured. Anna says we brought her up well, and she's going to bring her children up to be honest and loyal. But I think she was easy to bring up. I don’t remember ever telling her off. 26. According to the passage, when Anna was a child, she_____A_____.

John Preston lives in a flat in north London. He moved there after his wife died four years ago to be closer to his daughter’s family，and because his big detached house and garden were too much work for him as he got older. It’s easier in the flat because the letting agent does everything that needs doing. The agent has had the roof repaired and got the gutter replaced, but at the moment John is not satisfied because the window frames need painting and the garden looks neglected. The agent had the windows painted two years ago，but the painters didn't do it very well，so they need doing again. John pays over￡1，500 a year for service and maintenance, and he thinks that it’s not good enough because the flats look shabby and a lot of things need repairing.

His daughter, June, and her husband, Peter, on the other hand, have to do. Everything themselves or find builders to do it. They live in a large semi-detached house further out from the centre of London than John, but they are still near enough to see him often. They live in the suburbs with a nice garden where their children play. They moved there four years ago to have more space. The only drawback is that June's husband has to commute into the centre of London every day, but，overall，they are happy with their decision. When they bought the house, a lot needed doing to it and it still does. June says, \

things to do as long as your arm--the roof needs repairing and the chimney needs mending. The bedrooms need decorating and we haven't had the broken windowpanes replaced yet in he conservatory. We need to fix the gate and repair the path--it looks dreadful when you 31. John lives in the centre of London. F
