But farming has always been difficult in the northeastern corner of the country, which is called New England. New England has many trees and thin, rocky soil. Anyone who has wanted to start a new farm has had to work very hard. The first job has been cutting down trees. The next job has been digging the stumps (树桩) of the trees out of the soil. Then the farmer has had the difficult job of removing stones from his land. This work of removing stones never really ends, because every winter more stones appear. They come up through the thin soil from the rocks below. Farmers have to keep removing stones from the fields. Even today, farms which have been worked on for 200 years keep producing more stones. That is why stone walls are used instead of fences around New England fields. The stone walls are not high; a man can easily climb over them. But they keep the farmers cows from joining his neighbours cows.36.New England lies _.A) in England B) in the U.S. C) to the northeast of England D) to the northeast of the U.S.37.In what order does a farmer in New England do the following things to start a new farm? a) remove the stones from the soil b) build a stone wall round his fields c) dig out the tree stumps d) cut down the treesA) a b d c B) b c d a C) d c a b D) d b c a38.New England farmers build stone walls around their fields _.A) to save the trouble of taking away the stones and keep cows on the farmers landB) to keep their neighbours from trespassing (擅自进入)C) because stone walls are easier to buildD) because stone walls are stronger than fences39.What is the greatest difficulty New England farmers have in their farming?A) Plants scarcely grow.
