When I was 8 years old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.
My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.
“What’s that you’re carrying ” she asked.
“Some clothes and food,” I replied.
“If you want to run away, that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.”
I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.
“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.”
This infuriated me. I tore my clothes off — shoes, socks, underwear and all — and shouted, “Can I go now ”
“Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”
I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches (树枝). A pile of dried-up brown needles (针状物) were beneath the tree, and you can’t imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body.
After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.
“It’s Billy! Let me in!”
The voice behind the door answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.”
Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I said, “Mom! I’m sorry. I’m still your son. Let me in!”
The door opened and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your mind about running away ” she asked.
“What’s for supper ” I smiled back.
24. When the author was leaving home, his mother ordered him to _____.
A. stay at home B. take some sandwiches
C. leave everything behind D. check his suitcase carefully
25. The underlined word “infuriated” probably means “_____”.
A. surprised B. warned C. encouraged D. angered
26. Why did the author jump under the low-hanging branches
A. To avoid being seen. B. To find some needles.
C. To play a joke on the two girls. D. To attract the two girls’ attention.
27. The last sentence “What’s for supper ” mainly shows that the author _____.
A. changed his plan to leave home
B. felt very hungry at that time
C. wished to eat something before leaving
D. wanted to know what his mother prepared for supper

Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self conscious (难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places—and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.
Don’t forget the clock—or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12 inch plate instead of a 10 inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake (摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we will pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
28. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____________.
A. their home comforts B. their body shape C. house buying D. healthy diets
29. A home environment in blue can help people ______________.
A. digest food better B. reduce food intake C. burn more calories
D.regain their appetites
30 What are people advised to do at mealtimes
Eat quickly. B. Play fast music. C. Use smaller spoons.
D. Turn down the lights.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Is Your House Making You Fat B. Ways of Serving Dinner
C. Effects of Self Consciousness D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing
D
The common cold is the world’s most widespread illness, which is probably why there are more myths about it than any of the other illnesses.
The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected (感染的) people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.
At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be doused (浸入) with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty (通风的) rooms. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.
If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.
No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors (止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms.
32. What does the fact that the Eskimos don’t suffer colds show
A. Colds are really full of myths.
B. Viruses are the factors causing colds.
C. Colds are more severe than other illnesses.
D. The idea that cold leads to colds doesn’t stand up.
33. What did the experiments mentioned in Paragraph 3 prove
A. Being doused with cold water did harm to one’s body.
B. Taking hot baths made the volunteers easy to be tired.
C. It was viruses not wet and cold that made people have colds.
D. People who would like to exercise in the rain got colds more easily.
34. Why are colds commonly seen in winter, according to the passage
A. Staying together indoors makes it easier for viruses to pass on.
B. People are usually weak because of the extreme cold in winter.
C. Viruses can go into people’s warm bodies more easily in winter.
D There is great difference between indoor and outdoor temperature.
35. What does the passage mainly discuss
A. The myths about colds. B. The experiments on colds.
C. The continued spread of common colds. D. The reason and the way people catch colds.
