【单选题】What was the author always dreaming of when he was a little boy(). A. living on the farm forever. B. Leaving home for the city. C. Moving to the rural area. D. Dropping out of the school.

A.
When I was a little boy, I often dreamed of leaving home and escaping to a big city. We lived on a farm, and we always felt that we were quite cut off from the outside world, especially in the winter. As soon as I graduated from school, I packed my bags and moved to Shanghai-known as a sophisticated metropolis. However, I soon found that life in the city had its own problems too.
B.
There are several disadvantages in the city, First and foremost, it usually costs too much, especially with the soaring price like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. As I suffered from asthma (哮喘) when I was young, I am afraid of awful weather or polluted air, which makes it impossible for me to go outing. Travelling is also one of the problems. Although I have a car, I seldom used it because of the bumper-to-bumper traffic.
C.
As is known to all, every coin has two sides. It holds true for city life. First, we can do a lot of interesting things here. You can enjoy all kinds of creativity or entertainment. Besides, people in the city are more easily provided with good jobs and have more opportunities to get advanced. Finally, if you like shopping, there are a variety of goods for you to choose from, What’s more, shops can be seen everywhere and are often within walking distance.
D.
Is life better in the city than that of countryside or rural areas Perhaps it is, when you are young. However, as you gradually get older, and especially when you have children, the tranquility of the countryside may seem more attractive to you. I really hope I can move back where I grew up soon.
