2. Read the passage and answer the
questions.
Mike Robinson is a fifteen-year-old American boy and his sister Clare is fourteen. At the moment, Mike and Clare are in Cairo in Egypt, one of the biggest and busiest cities in Africa.
They moved here with their parents two years ago. Their father, Peter, works for a very
big company. The company has offices in many countries, and it has sent Peter to work in Germany, France and China before. Peter usually stays in a country for about two years. Then the company moves him again. His family always goes with him.
The Robinsons love seeing the world. They have been to many interesting places. For example, in Egypt, they have seen the Pyramids,
travelled on a boat on the Nile River, and visited the palaces and towers of ancient kings and queens.
Mike and Clare have also begun to learn the language of the country, Arabic. This language is different from English in many ways, and they find it hard to spell and pronounce the words. However, they still enjoy learning it. So far they have learnt to speak German, French, Chinese and Arabic. Sometimes they mix the languages. “It’s really fun,’’ said Clare.
The Robinsons are moving again. The company has asked Peter to work back in the US. Mike and Clare are happy about this. They have friends all over the world, but they also miss their friends in the US. They are counting down the days.

Africa every year.

送”。

morning.

4. They have been to many interesting places.
他们去过很多有趣的地方。
have/has been to 表示“己经去过某地”, 而have/has gone to 表示“己经去某地了”。
例如：

e.g. —Hello. Can I speak to John, please?

The train is leaving this afternoon.
列车下午发出。

Can you count from one to ten in French?
你能用法语从一数到十吗？
