二、阅读理解（共5小题；每小题5分，满分25分）
15 years ago, my parents bought a small house in the countryside, which they used for holidays. After I was born, we started to go to the holiday house more. We used to drive 3 hours to get to our lovely house every Friday evening. During the week my parents worked in London. My two brothers and I went to expensive private schools and we were all very busy. We hardly saw each other. We had several babysitters(临时保姆) as my parents had to work long hours. The only time we could be together was the weekend, and that was my happiest time.
However, every Sunday morning was torture because we had to leave the house then. We all hated the idea of leaving our village friends and the beautiful countryside.
Last year my dad had had enough. He sold our big house near London and my parents gave up their jobs and long working hours. They bought a smaller car. We are now living in our holiday house—two adults, three kids and a dog. My parents got jobs that allow them to work from home. We never have babysitters.
The best change for me is that now I go with my brothers to a small local(当地的) school. Afterschool we get on our bikes and ride around to see friends. My life is just so different. We feel calm(平静的) and happy. We have fewer things but for me it seems like we have so much more. I am so glad we have changed our way of life.
11.How did the writer's family use to go to the holiday house
A.By bus. B.By train. C.By car.
12.The underlined word "torture" in Paragraph 2 means “______” in Chinese.
A.折磨 B.机遇 C.风险

A. The writer got a new dog.

A. They just have one babysitter.
B. The writer goes to a private school.
