I’ve always been a fighter. Most of the people I knew growing up in rural Illinois struggled just
like my family did. Outside of farming, there wasn’t much of a local economy. If you weren’t a pig
farmer or corn farmer, you’d be down at a diner or truck stop flipping eggs, an auto mechanic
working in a shop in your backyard or a bartender pouring drinks. The best you could hope for, if
you wanted new horizons, was to latch onto a skill or career that could take you out of there.
【題組】31.aAccording to the passage, people growing up in rural Illinois struggled because _______________.
(A) they had to fight to survive
(B) the local economy is limited to farming only
(C) there are only limited jobs aside from farming
(D) there are no skilled workers
