A
The number of people in my house has grown from six to seven recently. A boy from Spain has come to spend six weeks with us. He is no ordinary boy; he's actually my second cousin, and is here to spend time with this side of the family, and of course, to learn English.
Thankfully, he is the same age as my youngest son, and is very fun-loving. I'm sure that he will pick up a lot of English while he plays with my kids. That was actually how I picked up a lot of Spanish when I was a child. My mother would take me to Mallorca in Spain, to spend about a month in the summers. Because children play so much, and are less inhibited(拘束的) than adults, they absorb language like little sponges(海绵). Well, that's what happened to me, and I'm very thankful for the experience.
So far, we have taken my cousin to Seattle for a couple of days, and down to a local river to look for gold. Today, I plan on taking him to the museum in the town of Cashmere which is excellent. He will get his first view of Native American life, and be able to walk through some of the original pioneer houses of this area. Like most boys who are thirteen, he is very curious and constantly asks questions. Of course, I don't always have the answers! Coming to the US is a big step for him, especially being so young. Mind you, he is a world traveller. His mother is an air hostess and is able to get cheap airline tickets, so they travel internationally all the time. So he is extremely comfortable in airports, and understands the routines of getting from one place to another. I hope that his being here will encourage my children to spend time in Spain, and also become international travellers.

C. The writer's children enjoy travelling to Spain.
D. The boy has ever seen Native American life before.
B
After 7 long years since the cute cat named Chebon went missing, there had been little hope that it could be found. Robert probably already came to peace with the thought that he would never see his little friend again until he received a life-changing call. Clearly, a kind stranger reached to tell him that his beloved cat was safe and sound and couldn't wait to see him again!
The cat went missing years ago, right before Robert was planning on moving from California to Ohio. The sad owner decided to give up his plans and stayed in California for the whole year looking for his missing friend, but in vain. “I remember at one point I was praying and I said, ‘God, I'll do anything; just bring my Chebon back...’”, Robert said in a video posted on the Ventura County Animal Services. The cat seemed to have disappeared forever and Robert had no other choice than to move on.
Then 7 years later, a woman noticed a cat that looked ill, so she decided to catch the animal and take it to the vet's. Luckily, the cat she found had a microchip (微型芯片), and in an instant, they knew who the owner of the 19-year-old cat was. That's when Robert received a call saying that his cat was alive.
“I was afraid there was some kind of mistake,” Robert said in the reunion video. The man decided to ride on a plane and fly all the way from Los Angeles to see his old friend. After finally seeing the cat, Robert immediately recognized his cat and burst into tears. After all these years, the two friends were back together. The touching moment was recorded by the animal shelter and was quickly spread on the Internet, leaving so many people in tears.
5.What happened to Chebon 7 years ago
A. It was ill. B. It was hurt in an accident.
C. It was lost. D. It was taken to the animal shelter.
6.What does the underlined phrase “in vain” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Without success. B. For no reason.
C. In no time. D. At no cost.
7.How did Robert feel when he received the call
A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Peaceful. D. Hopeless.
8.What is the main idea of the passage
A.A video moved many people.
B.A cat was saved by a woman.
C.A man was reunited with his missing cat.
D.A man kept looking for his cat for 7 years.
