Last spring, Marta finally did something she had been thinking about for years: she left her office job in the capital and moved to a small town in the mountains. Her friends thought she was making a mistake. "You'll be bored within a month," they warned her. At first, they seemed to be right. The town had one supermarket, no cinema, and the bus to the nearest city ran only twice a day. Marta missed her colleagues and the noise of the city more than she expected.

However, things slowly changed. She started teaching online in the mornings, which gave her a steady income, and in the afternoons she helped at a local farm in exchange for fresh vegetables. She joined a hiking group, where she met people of all ages who shared her love of the outdoors. After six months, when a former colleague offered her a well-paid position back in the capital, she surprised herself by refusing it without hesitation. "I sleep better, I spend less, and for the first time in years I know all my neighbours' names," she wrote on her blog. "Why would I give that up?"

Question: What do we learn about Marta's income after the move?

A She was paid for her work on the farm. B She received financial support from her friends. C She earned money by teaching over the internet. D She lived off her savings from her office job.

Twenty years ago, the fishing village of Portelo appeared in few guidebooks, and its narrow streets belonged to the 800 people who lived there. Then a budget airline opened a route to the regional airport, a film crew used the harbour as a location, and photographs of its painted houses began to spread on social media. Today Portelo receives close to 9,000 visitors a day in high season — more than ten times its population.

The effects have been dramatic. Souvenir shops and cafés have replaced the bakery, the pharmacy and the fishmonger, forcing residents to drive to the next town for basic shopping. Rents have tripled as landlords convert apartments into holiday lets, and younger families, unable to compete, have moved inland. The village school, which had 70 pupils a decade ago, now has 23.

The local council is trying to regain control. Coaches must now park outside the village, day-trippers pay a small entry fee in July and August, and new holiday-rental licences have been suspended. Critics say these measures arrived a decade too late, and that Portelo has already traded its identity for tourist income. Supporters reply that without tourism the village would have declined anyway, as fishing alone could no longer support it.

Question: What does the falling number of school pupils suggest?

A Children now travel inland to better schools. B The school has failed to attract good teachers. C The entry fee has made the village unaffordable. D Young families have been leaving the village.
