外研版英语八上 Module 11.4 Way of life Unit 3
阅读理解
My holiday with Grandma and Grandpa was great! They moved to?Arizona?when I was five. Dad usually visits them, but not this summer! Dad sent me to stay with them for two weeks.
This was my first time to travel by myself. On the plane, I studied a picture. It was a picture of Walpi, an old Hopi village where Grandma and Grandpa live. The village is on top of a tall hill. I wasn’t sure I could climb that high. I also wondered (想知道) if Grandma and Grandpa would act differently in this village than they did in our apartment (公寓) in New York.
Grandpa met?me at?the airport. As we drove away from the city, I enjoyed the beauty of the desert (沙漠). Soon we arrived at Walpi. I looked down and found that we were so high up. I felt like a bird!
Grandma was?waiting for us. Grandma and Grandpa’s rooms were cool under the hot sun. Grandma said the building was made of stones (石头) and the stones kept the rooms cool.
After eating?lunch,?we took a walk outside. We visited the “kiva”: it is a large room where the Hopi people go for special events.
I really?liked?the Hopi people. They were friendly to me. One man helped me make a gift to take home to Mum. The children and I played ball games. It seemed that I was part of the big family in the village. It was hard to leave my grandparents when my two weeks were over. I wish I could live in Walpi for two more weeks!
