What makes a house a home
Not size，of course.I’ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve been in some of the grandest houses in America，and it’s readily apparent no one lives there.Earlier this year，I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia，where we sat on chairs next to the hostess’s bed—a home that had more warmth than any house I’ve been in since.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Now John Edwards ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is exploring what makes a house a home in his just released Home：The Blueprints of Our Lives.There Edwards writes，“This is a book about homes，the values they rest on，the dreams they are filled with，and the people they have shaped.The houses and circumstances are different，but much of what you find inside will be familiar.”【出处：21教育名师】
Whether you’re sitt ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing in an airport right now，waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving，or in your own home waiting for the relatives to arrive，you know what he’s talking about.
We’ve lived in o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ur townhouse for 21 years.The loose windows that make noise in the wind.The fireplace so shallow that it holds only one log.The kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by.It’s where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed.I lived there for only 18，but it will always be my true home.Even the lamp in the west living room window，which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night，still shines.
While all this tal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )k about childhood memories can be warm and comforting，home is whom you’re with，not where you are.As Edwards writes，“Home is family.Home is safety.Home is faith.”
1．What would be the best title for the passage
A．Home Means Everything
B．What’s Inside Makes Us Feel at Home
C．Home：The Blueprints of Our Lives
D．The Importance of Houses
2．The purpose of the second paragraph is to _____________.【版权所有：21教育】
A．mean the author likes living in grandest houses
B．prove the author got along with the hostess
C．mean the feeling of a home isn’t related to the size21*cnjy*com
D．show the author’s different feelings about houses
3．We know that Home：The Blueprints of Our Lives ________.
A．is the description of Edwards’s houses
B．is mainly about houses
C．helps us understand the concept of home
D．is written by the author of the text
4．According t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o the passage，which of the following can make a house a home
A．The atmosphere you feel.
B．The color of the walls.
C．The number of family members.
D．The position of the home.

Personal computer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s and the Internet give people new choice about how to spend their time.Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members，but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about.I know this from personal experience.21世纪教育网版权所有
E mail makes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) it easy to work at home，which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings.My working hours aren’t necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office.This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she’d been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.
The Internet also ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends.Say you do something funny—see a great movie perhaps—and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it.If you call each one，you will get tired of telling the story.With e mail，you just write one note about your experience，at your convenience，and address it to all the friends you think might be interested.They can read your message when they have time，and read only as much as they want to.They can reply at their convenience，and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.21·cn·jy·com
E mail is also a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away.More than a few parents use e mail to keep in touch，even daily touch，with their children off at college.
We just have to k ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch.They don’t eliminate(排除) any of the old ways.www.21-cn-jy.com

D．introduce basic knowledge about computers and the Internet 21*cnjy*com

A．spend less time working
B．have more free time with his child
C．work at the office on weekends

A
As an only child，I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) wanted sisters more than anything.When I turned seven，my parents made a decision that delighted me beyond measure: they chose to adopt.2-1-c-n-j-y
It was Christm ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as time when my two new sisters，aged 6 and 3，arrived from Columbia.They came with a great flourish of celebration，as friends and relatives visited us，bearing gifts to welcome them.That evening our guests went home and we were left to ourselves.My sisters and I went to the bedroom we were to share.Our parents came to each of us，saying goodnight.They whispered to my new sisters in Spanish，“I love you.”
From the beginning the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )se newcomers were like my own flesh and blood; we played and bickered and learned just as if we had always been sisters.From the beginning we all were my parents’ daughters equally，as they supervised，scolded and encouraged us.
Life seemed great.How ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ever，as we girls were approaching our teen years，my parents divorced.
My sisters had b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )een hurt before.They had to deal with a great wound when their birth mother abandoned them，and none of us understood the depth of their inner agony.It was a pain that came to the surface again.
We all strugg ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )led during this time.By the time I left for college，my family was in disorder.
During my college y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ears，my outlook on life evolved (逐渐形成) into significant ways.This personal transformation led my parents and sisters to re evaluate (重新认识) their own lives and make changes that finally brought us together as a family.My mother and father have again become great sources of encouragement for us three sisters.One of my sisters has recently married，and family gatherings are now occasions of happiness and renewal.
36．What can we learn from the second paragraph
A．The newcomers were from one of the states of the USA.
B．My new sisters were warmly welcomed by my family.
C．My new sisters were older than me.
D．My relatives didn’t like the two new sisters.
37．According to the passage，we know that my parents ________.
A．adopted two children who were related to them
B．divorced because they shouldered heavy burdens
C．treated me and my new sisters equally
D．left us alone and we lost our comfortable situation
38．What does the underlined word “agony” in the fifth paragraph mean
A．Pain. B．Excitement.
C．Pressure. D．Hope.
39．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.
A．when the writer went to college，the family was in confusion

I began working in j ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ournalism when I was eight.It was my mother’s idea.She wanted me to “make something” of myself，and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.
With my load o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue.The crowds were there.There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union.For several hours I made myself highly visible，making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST.When it was supper time，I walked back home.
“How many did you sell，my boy？”my mother asked.
“None.”
“Where did you go？”
“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”
“What did you do？”
“Stood on the corner w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”
“You just stood there？”
“Didn’t sell a single one. ”
“My God，Russell！”
Uncle Allen put ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in，“Well，I’ve decided to take the Post.”I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel(五分镍币)．It was the first nickel I earned.【版权所有：21教育】
Afterwards my moth ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er taught me how to be a salesman.I would have to ring doorbells，address adults with self confidence，and persuade them by saying that no one，no matter how poor，could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
One day，I to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ld my mother I’d changed my mind.I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.
“If you think ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) you can change your mind like this，”she replied，“you’ll become a good for nothing.”She insisted that，as soon as school was over，I should start ringing doorbells，selling magazines.Whenever I said no，she would scold me.
My mother and I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )had fought this_battle almost as long as I could remember.My mother，dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life，determined that I would not grow up like him and his people.But never did she expect that，forty years later，such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.

While I was vi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )siting my parents，a question about my grandparents made my mother leave the room.Both of them had died before I was born.My grandfather died in war and my grandmother was taken by cancer in the early 1960s.My mother always got emotional when the subject of her parents was brought up.www.21-cn-jy.com
When she returne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d，I expected to see her wiping her eyes，but there were no tears this time; there was a box.It was an old brown shoe box. “I want you to have this，” she said. “I’ve had these since my mother died，but I could never bring myself to read them.These are all the letters that my mom and dad wrote to each other during the war.”21·世纪*教育网
I couldn’t believe my ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) ears. “Why hadn’t I ever heard about them before？” My mind was racing.Then it hit me that she had kept them secret in case I destroyed them in my youth like so many of her other memories of her mother.21*cnjy*com
She said，“In fac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t，some of these letters have never been opened.Because the War Department took two months to finally inform my mother of my father’s death，and during that time she was writing a letter a day as usual.” She started to cry a little.
When I returne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d to my home，I began to read the letters.I did have some trouble reading my grandmother’s writing at first.But as I got through the letters，I found out why—she couldn’t afford to get a pen and had no way to sharpen the old school pencil，so the writing was not clear.
I spent three da ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ys finishing reading those letters full of love.It was a great experience to know my grandparents.

A．his mother didn’t want him to know about his grandparents
B．his mother worried those letters would make him sad 【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
C．his mother worried he might destroy those letters
D．his grandparents kept those letters secret
47．What can we infer from the passage
A．The writer’s mother had never read the letters.
B．The writer’s grandparents loved each other very much.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
C．The writer ne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ver thought he would be interested in reading the letters.

Have you ever started ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )reading a book，and within minutes you just know that you are going to end up recommending it to everyone？That doesn’t happen to me very often，but I just couldn’t put Little Princes down.
When the book begins， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Conor Grennan is planning a year long trip around the globe，a journey that began with a three month period volunteering at the Little Princes Children’s Home，an orphanage(孤儿院) in Nepal.
When he arri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ved at the orphanage，Conor was immediately welcomed by all of the children even though he had no previous experience in working with children.He quickly grew to love working with the children.But it wasn’t long before Conor came to learn that the children were not orphans at all—they were children who had been separated from their parents by a child trafficker(贩子)．This child trafficker had taken large sums of money from families in remote villages，promising to protect their children from the civil war and to give them education.
This realization mad ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e Conor end up his global journey.He tried to find a way to reunite the children from the Little Princes Children’s Home with their families.When Conor was back in America，he started up a non profit organization called Next Generation Nepal(NGN)，raising money in order to buy a house in Nepal for another children’s home.Then，back in Nepal，he began a life changing trek (长途跋涉)into the remote villages.
It was really a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mazing to read about Conor interacting with the children.He made me truly care about the kids.I wanted them to be able to reunite with their families，too！Unfortunately，this was simply not possible for some of the children.
If you want a fa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )scinating read，buy Little Princes.When you find yourself moved by the reality of thousands of children living in dangerous circumstances far from their families，perhaps you will be moved to donate some money to Next Generation Nepal like me.
48．From the passage we can learn ________.
A．the author liked to read fairy stories
B．Conor found the child trafficker traded orphans
C．Conor worked with children at the orphanage for the first time
D．the child ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )trafficker provided the children with education but treated them badly

Nowadays，the grow ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing concern over microblogs has been brought into focus.As a matter of fact，the microblog，which is more and more popular among young people，has become a real part of our life.
The advantages of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) microblogs are not far to see.First and foremost，microblog is extremely convenient.What’s more，it is microblog that provides us with a place to release our inner stress.Last but not least，using the microblog，we can share our feelings and become familiar with our friends.However，microblog also has their dangerous aspects.A good case in point is that microblog can give away our private information as well as significant information.
All in all，many adva ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ntages as microblog has，we should use it carefully.Only if we use it carefully，can we lead a safe life.

My dear classmates，
There is no denyi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng that safety plays an important part in our daily life.Recently our school has carried out a program aimed at making our campus a safe place to stay on.
I consider this as in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )deed a good practice，which will make us aware that safety should always come first in our daily life，whether when we stay at school or outside it.When we are doing sports，we should attach importance to the safety and avoid being hurt.Furthermore，when we get into trouble with our classmates，we should remain calm and avoid any form of fighting，which may only bring suffering and pain to us mentally and physically.
As far as I’m co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ncerned，I feel all the students and teachers should work hard and creatively to keep the “Safety at School” activity in mind.Besides，we are supposed to serve the law discipline where we are at any moment.
Thanks!

When I was five ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) years old，my mother was washing the kitchen floor one day.I was telling her about a new girl in my school，and she suddenly looked up at me and said，“Who are your two best friends？”I was not sure what to say.I’d been friends with Jill since I was three，and I really liked Jaime，a friend in kindergarten.“Jill and Jaime.”I said.My mother stopped doing it.“What about Karen and Cindy？”“My sisters？I don’t know who their best friends are，”I said.“No，”she said，“I’m saying，why aren’t they your best friends？”She seemed upset，like I hurt her feelings.“But they are my sisters.”“Yes，but they can still be your best friends.Friends may come and go，but your sisters will always be there for you.”

It was Mother’s Day ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ).I was so busy with my work that I couldn’t __1__ back home.When I passed by a flower shop，a(n) __2__ came to my mind，“I’ll send Mum some roses.”
While I was __3__ my flowers，a young man went inside.“How many roses can I get for only five dollars，Madam？” he asked.The assistant was trying to tell him roses were as __4__ as forty dollars a dozen—Maybe he would be happy with carnations(康乃馨)．“No，I have to have red roses，” he said，“my mum was __5__ ill last year and I didn’t spend much time with her.Now I want to get something special，roses，as rose is her __6__.”21教育网
After hearing it， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )I said I would pay the rest of the money for the young man.__7__ by both of us，the assistant said，“Well，lovely young men，thirty dollars a dozen，only for you.” Taking the roses，the young man almost jumped into the air and ran out of the shop.It was well worth twenty five dollars I paid to see the exciting __8__.Then I paid for my dozen of roses and told the assistant to __9__ them to my mother.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
As I walked out，I f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )elt __10__.Suddenly I saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park.But soon I realized it was not a park __11__ a cemetery(公墓)．Crying，the young man carefully __12__ the roses，“Mum，why didn’t I tell you how much I loved you？God，please help me find my mum and tell her I love her.”
Seeing this，I turn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed and quickly walked to the shop.I would take the flowers home myself.

A
Even before fathe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r left us, our mother had to work to support our family.Once I came out of the kitchen，complaining，“Mom，I can’t peel potatoes.I have only one hand.”
Mom never looked ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )up from sewing.“You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes，” she told me.“And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again！”
In the second ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )grade，our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars(吊杠)，swinging from one high steel rod to the next.When it was my turn，I shook my head.Some kids behind me laughed，and I went home crying.
That night I tol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d Mom about it.She hugged me，and I_saw_her_“we’ll_see_about_that”_look.The next afternoon，she took me back to the school.At the deserted playground，Mom looked carefully at the bars.21cnjy.com
“Now，pull up with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )your right arm，”she advised.She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook(钩住)the bar with the other elbow(肘部)．Day after day we practiced，and she praised me for every rung(横档) I reached.I’ll never forget the next time，crossing the rungs，I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.
One night，after a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dance at my new junior high，I lay in bed sobbing.I could hear Mom come into my room.“Mom，” I said，weeping，“none of the boys would dance with me.”
For a long time，I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) didn’t hear anything.Then she said，“Oh，honey，some day you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.”Her voice was faint(虚弱的)．I peeked(偷看)out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks.Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf.She had never let me see her tears.【版权所有：21教育】
1．Which word best ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )describes Mom’s attitude when she made the child peel potatoes
A．Cruel. B．Serious.
C．Strict. D．Cold.
2．What does the u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nderlined sentence “I saw her ‘we’ll see about that’ look ” in Paragraph 4 imply
A．Mom believed every aim could be achieved if you stuck to it.www.21-cn-jy.com
B．The race a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cross monkey bars was not difficult enough for a child to give up.
C．Mom was det ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ermined to prove she herself was better than the teacher.
D．What the child had said brought Mom great attraction and curiosity.
3．When the child ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) looked down at the kids，they were standing with their mouths open because ______.
A．they felt sorry for what they had done before
B．they were afraid the author might fall off and get hurt
C．they wanted to see what the author would do on the bars2-1-c-n-j-y
D．they were astonished to find the author’s progress
4．The most probab ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le conclusion we can draw after reading the passage is that ________.
A．the last incident was sad enough to make Mom weep【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
B．the child’s experience reminded Mom of that of her own21·cn·jy·com
C．Mom could solve any problem except the one in the last paragraph
D．in fact Mom suffered more in the process of the child’s growth
B
The survey showed ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that the top choice for both parents and teens was to go out for a family meal.This is ideal for those who don’t have much time to spare because the occasion can be made to feel special while the whole family can stay together for a couple of hours or less.Make sure that everyone has a say in where they’d like to eat.In case you don’t go to one person’s suggested restaurant this time then avoid disputes by suggesting you go there another day.
The second favori ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )te choice for spending quality time was to go on a family holiday.This can be one of the most effective ways to engage with your teen in a fun and relaxing setting away from the distractions(使人分心的事) of normal daily life.What’s more，you’ll return home with shared memories to cherish forever.21*cnjy*com
If you’re looking f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or something slightly less expensive and time consuming than a holiday，plan a day trip instead.Day trips were considered by more teenagers than parents in the survey as a good way to spend quality time.Unsurprisingly，more teens than parents also said that they’d like to go to a theme park.But if the thought of roller coasters and long queues leaves you feeling uncomfortable，perhaps consider a day out to another town or city，going shopping or catching a movie at the cinema instead.
If you’ve got a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sporty teen，try taking part in physical activity with him.Whatever it takes to get your blood pumping，having fun will be well worth it.Although if you’re rather athletically challenged，try something a bit more sedate，like bowling(保龄球)．Also，energetic and curious teens often enjoy outdoor activities，such as camping，so why not put yourself to the challenge and see where the spirit of adventure takes you both
But don’t wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rry if the thought of such exertion(努力) makes either of you break out in a cold sweat.Time spent one on one at home just enjoying each other’s company can be equally—if not more—valuable as any other.
5．If you plan to eat out，it is better________.
A．to go to your favorite restaurant
B．to finish eating within two hours
C．to choose the best food they like
D．to give kids a chance to choose the restaurant
6．If you go to a theme park，what may bother you
A．Too many park goers.
B．Too expensive tickets.
C．The long distance.
D．Busy schedules.
7．The underlined word “sedate” in Paragraph 4 probably means________.
A．rough B．tiring
C．adventurous D．quiet

Once a year we show o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ur love for our fathers by celebrating Father’s Day.This is the time when you have the chance to show your dad how much you love him.On Father’s Day，children usually give gifts to their fathers and take them out for a nice meal.But when and how did Father’s Day get started 【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Father’s Day was intr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oduced in the early part of the 20th century.It was to show love for our fathers in the same way that people did to mothers on Mother’s Day.This tradition began in Spokane，Washington，from an idea of a woman named Sonora Smart Dodd.
Mrs.Dodd was raised ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )by her father after her mother died.Looking back on all the things that he did for the family made Mrs.Dodd realize just how special her father was.She realized that her father was a very loving man who should be honoured and praised for all the things that he did for his family.Since her father was born in the month of June，Mrs.Dodd decided to celebrate Father’s Day on June 19th，so the first Father’s Day was held in June,1910.
By the year 192 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )6，a committee was formed in New York City to honour Father’s Day，and in 1956，it was recognised as a day of celebration.President Nixon made Father’s Day a national holiday in the year 1972.This is when it was decided that it would always be celebrated on the third Sunday of every June.
1．What is the best title for this passage
A．The History of Father’s Day
B．The Story of Sonora Smart Dodd
C．Something About Mother’s Day
D．How to Show Your Love to Your Father
2．According to Pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ragraph 1，what do children usually do on Father’s Day
A．Spend the whole day with their fathers.
B．Say aloud that they love their fathers.
C．Cook something nice for their fathers.
D．Prepare gifts for their fathers.
3．We learn that Father’s Day________.
A．started from a story made up by a woman
B．is celebrated on the first Sunday of every June
C．is surely only celebrated by children in America www-2-1-cnjy-com
D．started from a woman’s wish to honour and praise her father
4．Americans have be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en celebrating Father’s Day as a national holiday since ________.
A．1910 B．1926 C．1956 D．1972
B
My mom is always at wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rk and my sisters are never around，so I have nothing to do.My house is boring.The train lets me escape and explore.21*cnjy*com
I have been takin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g the train for five years.I’ve learned that it’s fast and convenient.I live about two miles from the Blue Line Imperial Station.I like taking the train because it gives me freedom.
My favourite pl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ace to go is downtown.I take the train to Macy’s Plaza in front of the 7th Street Station to do some shopping at Borders or Victoria’s Secret，or to get something to eat at the food court.With 25 cents，you can take the DASH bus from the station to get to the Fashion District.Since I like making accessories (首饰) like earrings，I love going there because of all the deals on jewellery supplies.I also go to the American Apparel factory because the clothes there are cheaper and the store is huge.
I take the tra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in to the Museum of Contemporary Art with friends on the first Sunday of every month since we can get in for free.We tour around the museum and get to do an art project at the end.I like going to the museum because there are a lot of wonderful things.
The cool thing about t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he train is that it connects to other train lines，which lets you see different parts of the city.The Gold Line runs from Union Station northeast to Pasadena and now east to East L．A.The Red Line goes from downtown to Hollywood.The Purple Line goes from Union Station to Koreatown and the Green Line goes from Norwalk to several beaches.When I don’t know how to get somewhere，I go to ，type in my starting point and end point and get times and routes.I hardly ever get lost.
