My parents and two older brothers arrived in Queens from Cuba in 1967, squeezing into a one-bedroom apartment that got even more cramped when I showed up two years later. Suspicious of everyone and unable to communicate in English, my parents weren’t about to let their kids hang out in the streets. And since they both worked, we boys spent a lot of time at home.
The main public library on Merrick Boulevard was the first place I was allowed to visit on my own. I started going there when I was eight. Everything I needing was located on what seemed to me an endless single floor. Wandering around that building aimlessly on a Saturday afternoon offered a sense of freedom I’d never experienced before.
Once my father dropped me off, it didn’t really matter what I did so long as I could explore. I find it interesting that people today say that libraries are no longer about books; they weren’t really about books for me back in the 1970s, either. It was more about being around other people who looked like they were being productive-turning pages, making copies, patiently waiting for items. All this was attractive to me.
I felt a certain level of dignity and self-respect at the library. I didn’t borrow books from the library despite spending practically every Saturday of my childhood there. I certainly went over hundreds and hundreds of them during my walks around the building- sports, politics and the solar system were my favorite sections. But I felt no great need to bring books home. We had no room for books in our apartment anyway. I felt like a poor kid when I read books at home. I felt like everyone else when I read books at the library.
1.The underlined word “cramped” in Paragraph I probably means “________”.
A. dangerous B. shabby C. messy D. crowded
2.What did the author appreciate most about the library?
A. The atmosphere it provides. B. The books he could explore.
C. The productive people in it. D. The seemingly endless floor.
3.The author didn’t borrow books from the library because ________.
A. he had finished reading all the books he preferred
B. he felt like reading at the library to enjoy freedom
C. he didn’t want to lose his dignity and self-respect
D. he was too poor to afford the cost of borrowing books
4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. How a Public Library Set Me Free
B. Culture Shock Is Never a Barrier
C. My Aimless and Boring Childhood
D. A Building Shaped a Nation’s Spirit

When a storm is coming, most people leave the area as quickly as possible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometer-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.
“Storm chasing(追逐)” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.
Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for vacations during the storm season.
Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure and excitement. “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm-chasing. “Sometimes you can sit around for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”
However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It is the greatest show on Earth.”
1.For storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to _______.
A. get quickly into their cars for safety
B. wait patiently for the storm to develop
C. head straight for the center of the storm
D. collect information about a coming storm
2.Beginners of storm chasing are advised _______.
A. to do it in an organized way B. to spend much more time on it
C. not to get too close to a storm D. not to drive in a heavy rain
3.By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that _______.
A. storm chasing costs a lot of money
B. efforts in storm chasing are well paid
C. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting
D. a storm presents the greatest show on Earth
4.What is the purpose of the author?
A. To appeal to more people to take the adventures.
B. To give people advice when a storm is coming.
C. To introduce a hobby called storm chasing.
D. To present difficulties of storm chasing.
5.What can we learn from the text?
A. Storm chasing is only fit for young people.
B. Some storm chasers were killed during the storms.
C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world.
D. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment.
