We decided the only reasonable was to build a new house-something unusual but under these circumstances. The family was with their new house.
While we ate lunch together, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan,“What do you want for your new ?”we were when Josh responded,“I just want a bed.”
The boys had slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. we decided beds would be the perfect . A few volunteers drove to the nearest city and beds and new bedding.

As we the frames of the beds together, Eric ran into the house to us. As my father slipped a pillowcase (枕套) onto one of the pillows, Eric asked,
“What is that?”
“A pillow,”he replied.
“What do you it?”Eric continued to ask.
“When you go to sleep, you put your on it,”I answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as he handed Eric the pillow. “Oh . . . that’s soft,”he said, it tightly.

In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never very far away.
We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom's vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn't care much about my bedtime.
Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess(混乱). I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel(桶) of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when I made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.
Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did! I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me. 1 hadn't turned 5 yet.
As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue ( 舌头 )on a metal handrail at school?
As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder (驾雪橇者), I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was, but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped (包裹) heavily and well sheltered (保护) from the freezing and blowing weather.
In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d'Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.
1.What can be inferred about the author's family?

2.What happened when the author was 4?
A. He learned to smoke.
B. He was locked in a basement.
C. He was arrested by the police.
D. He nearly caused a fire accident.
3.Which of the following is true?
A. Leonhard was good at driving dog sleds.
B. The author spent his whole childhood in Alaska.
C. Leonhard often visited the author's family after 1950.
D. The author suffered a lot while taking the dog sled in Alaska.
4.What is the author's purpose of writing the text?

If you dream of going to someplace warm to escape the cold winter weather, a trip to a recently discovered planet would certainly warm you right up. The planet, named OCLE-TR-56b, has temperatures of more than 3,000 °F. “This is the hottest planet we know about,” says Dr. Dimitar Sasselov, a scientist who led the discovery team, “It is hot enough to have an iron fog and to rain hot iron droplets(细沫)”
The new planet is 30 times farther away than any planet discovered by scientists before. It is in the Milky Way(银河)but it is not in our solar(太阳的)system The new planet moves around a star much like our sun, however. Scientists discovered the planet by using a new planet-searching method, called“transit technique” They were able to catch sight of the planet when it moved in front of its star, causing the star’s light to dim(变暗).Scientists compare the method to discovering the shadow of a bee flying in front of a searchlight 200 miles away. “We believe the door has been opened wide to go and discover planets like Earth,” says Sasedlov.
1.We can infer from the passage that_________.
A.there is iron on the new planet
B.we could go to the new planet in winter
C.the star could block our view of the new planet
D.scientists are studying the weather on the new planet

Do you like to eat out? Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like inexpensive food? Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners(小餐馆)for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.
A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. It wasn’t a real diner. It was only a food cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diners with counters and stools, and people sat down while they ate.
Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.
Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner.
Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonald’s and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.
1.A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. Why is the word “diner” in quotation marks(引号)?
A. Because it is spelled differently from “ dinner”
B. Because diner was a new word
C. Because the first diner was not what it is now
D. Because it is a special kind of restaurant
2.According to paragraph 3, diners changed in __________
A. Two ways B. four ways
C. three ways D. five ways
3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Diners existed before a fast-food restaurant
B. The menu included more food than sandwiches and coffee
C. Sandwiches became bigger
D. Burger King is a fast-food restaurant
4.The main idea of the passage is that ______________.
A. Samuel Johns built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside
B. The diner is a traditional , popular place to eat in the United States
C. American diners serve many types of food 24 hours a day to their customers
D. Diners are different from fast-food restaurants in many ways
