     In some parts of the United States, farming is easy. 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 there
has had to work very hard. The first job has been cutting down trees. The next job has been digging
the stumps 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 farmer's cows from joining his neighbor's cows.

1. This selection explains _____.

A. how to make a stone wall in New England

A. the winter is very long there
B. the farms are very old

3. This selection says that the work of removing stones _____.

A. must be done again and again
