One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz.They used to work in central London.He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank.They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs，leaving their two children with a nanny.Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings.They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.

　　Nowadays，they run a farm in the mountains of Wales.“I always wanted to have a farm then，” says Daniel，“and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift.It’s taken some getting used to，but it’s been worth it.We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays.However，I think it’s made us stronger as a family，and the children are a lot happier.”

　　Liz，however，is not quite sure.“I used to enjoy my job，even though it was hard work and long hours.I’m not really a country girl，but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals.One thing I do like，though，is being able to see more of my children.My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”

　　1．The passage tells us that ________.

　　A．people seldom work long hours to make money
