II - Read the following passage and answer the questions. 
I live in a small village called Northville. There are about 2000 people here. I love the village because it is 
very quiet and the life is slow and easy. The village is always clean; people look after it with great care. 
The air is always clean, too. People are much friendlier here than in a city because everyone knows the 
others, and if someone has a problem, there are always people who can help. 
There are only a few things that I don’t like about Northville. One thing is that we have not got many 
things to do in the evening; we haven’t got any cinemas or theaters. The other thing Is that people always 
talk about other people, and everyone knows what everyone is doing. But I still prefer village life to life 
in a big city. 
1. What is the name of the village?
