四、班会的最后，Lily 老师给大家展示了一组图片，记录了她家乡近十年来的变化。阅读Lily老师的发言，给下列图片排序并回答问题。
Ten years ago, my hometown was just a small village near a clean river. Life was very simple then. Most of the people fished on the boats. They got up early and came back late. Fishing was the main way for them to make money. Later, the only school in the village was built and children walked to school.
Now, the small village has become a big city. It has many tall buildings and department stores. Most people work in the office now. I love the city because there are many things to do. But sometimes I miss the quiet life before.
