B
As a sculptor,Gregory Kloehn often felt his sculptures that stayed in one place for years on end,lacked a meaningful purpose. So he decided to channel his artistic energies into creating homes.
Over the years,he built lots of small houses,bars and restaurants from recycled shipping containers. But the thought of doing the same for the homeless never occurred to him. That idea hit in 2013 when a homeless couple in search of a tarp(防水布) ，knocked at his door. While Gregory did not have a tarp,he did have a small wooden structure complete with a water tank and built-in kitchen that he offered them. They were so grateful for his generosity that Gregory decided to build more for other people in similar situations.
Since starting the Homeless Homes Project in 2013,Gregory has donated ten homes to the most needy. The brightly colored houses that are the size of a regular sofa,are not fancy,but they do provide a safe place for the homeless to sleep in.
Gregory often goes hunting for raw materials by digging through dumpsters(垃圾箱) in an industrial area of Oakland. Everything he finds is usable — refrigerator doors become house doors,pizza delivery bags turn into insulators (隔热层) , while washing machine doors often serve as windows. Wheels at the bottom allow the homes to move around easily,while pitched roofs (斜屋顶) help make the shelters rain-proof. Gregory says that each mobile shelter which is built with a team of volunteers,costs between $30-$50 in screws,nails,glue,and the gas that he uses to search for materials.
Like any other project,Gregory has seen his fair share of challenges. The original house which inspired the whole movement was firebombed,while another was stolen. One homeless recipient (接受者) sold his home for $80,which has since been used as a dog house. But those incidents are few and far between. Most are thrilled with their houses. A woman named Wonder calls her new home,which is made from an unwanted picnic table,the best one she has had in five years.
6. Gregory decided to create homes because.
A. he had no house of his own
B. he was inspired by other artists
C. he wanted to become an architect
D. he would like to try something different
7. How did Gregory treat the homeless couple who knocked at his door?
A. He invited them to dinner.
B. He gave them some money.
C. He provided a house for them.
D. He offered them what they wanted.
8. The houses Gregory has donated .
A. are made of high-quality material
B. can move around with their owners
C. are built completely by Gregory himself
D. have refrigerators and washing machines inside
9. What can we learn about the Homeless Homes Project?
A. It receives much support from the public.
B. Its (Jonations are all kept in good condition.
C. It was actually created by a homeless couple.
D. Its donations are unpopular with the homeless.
10. How does Wonder feel about her new home?
A. It needs improving.
B. It truly meets her needs.
C. It isn't worth a penny.
D. It should be sold at a good price.

阅读理解阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D) 中，选出最佳选项。
★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
There's nothing more disappointing than arriving at an airport overseas to discover that your baggage has been left behind. At best you will have to put up with wearing the clothes you stand up in for hours or days,until the airline reunites you with your baggage. At worst,you may be in a different climate zone,thousands of miles from home and forced to wear wholly unsuitable clothes.
No airline is free from mistakes. Although airlines,rarely reveal(透露) how many cases they lose,it's a fact of life that sooner or later regular travelers will be parted from their baggage. Even the best airlines slip up from time to time,and it's impossible for any carrier to guarantee that a passenger，s checked baggage will go on the same flight,particularly when a journey calls for one or more changes of aircraft.
Although airlines make special efforts to avoid errors,unexpected events can still result in baggage going missing. In normal circumstances the baggage system works well. But extra security checks at airports and problems with air traffic combine to cause delayed flights. All this can cause the baggage system to fail. Then there is the possibility of human error,or an accident in which the destination(目的地) label is tom off.
Busy airports are likely to have more problems. These problems can become extremely frious,at large transfer(换乘) airports,known as“hubs”, because of the large number of bags that are processed. Last year,for example,London's Heatlxrow airport handled more than 41 million passengers,of whom nine million were changing planes. British Airways alone handled two million transfer passengers at Heathrow.
No airport can guarantee the safe handling of baggage. Even efficient transfer airports have their bad days. The risk of baggage being lost when changing planes is higher than average at most airports. Miami airport is well known for baggage going missing when transatlantic passengers make immediate connections for destinations in Latin America.
You should choose direct flights whenever possible and check in well before the official time.If a change of plane is unavoidable,or makes your flight less expensive,then try to fly the same airline throughout. Make sure you label your baggage inside and out with your home and holiday addresses.
1. What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 1 ?

A. find a problem B. make an error
C. keep a secret D. know a fact
3. What do we learn about Heathrow airport?
A. It is a very busy hub.
B. It mainly processes large bags.
C. It seldom has ba^gageproblems.
D. It serveq nine million planes last year.
4. Passengers’ baggage is more likely to lose when .
