阅读理解练习题（一）Nowadays there are many people going from villages or small towns to big cities to realize their dreams, but there are also people doing the opposite.Janet Lincoln moved to St. Louis five years ago. Here’s what she said:“I used to live in a small town called Bertrand. I grew up there. After I graduated (毕业) from high school, I worked in a supermarket. There were about 800 people in my town, and I knew most of them. Most of them knew me, too. At the age of 21, I got a chance (机会) and moved to St. Louis. I love it. I don’t know as many people now as I used to, but that’s OK. I live in an apartment and have a few good friends.
