Boys and girls, here I will tell you something about my first trip to the USA.

When I get to Kennedy Airport, I begin my visit to the USA. First, I go to Roy Senior high School. I’m happy on the first night in America because I live with a kind family, the Edwards. It’s a big family. They are very friendly to me. They help me do many things. When I want to write to my friends, they buy stamps for me; when I lose my camera, they help me buy a new one.

After some days, I go to another school in New Haven. I live in the Palumbos’ house. There are three people in the family. I’m surprised that the parents are from two countries.

It is a nice trip and I’m happy to be with the two families. They will be my friends for ever(永远).

1.Where does the writer live for the first night?

2.文中划线单词 “stamps”的中文意思是 “_________”。

3.How many school does the writer go to?

4.Why is the writer surprised when he gets to the Palumbos’ house?

5.What’s the best title(标题) of the passage?

It’s Tuesday afternoon, and I’m in Rheinburg, Germany, visiting the Extra Future Store. The “store of the future” is attracting a lot of attention these days– but not for it’s prices. Instead, people are coming from all over to experience a new way to shop.

   The experience is less like shopping in a supermarket and more like playing some kind of high–tech game. It starts as I enter the store and choose a shopping cart(购物车). First, I swipe my store ID card through a computer on the cart. The computer’s screen comes on, a map of the store shows, and the journey begins.

   As I shop, antennas(天线) around the store send information about different specials to the computer on my cart. Attracted by one of the ads, I choose a box of cheese. I hold up the box to the computer. It displays the price and also suggests that a certain type of bread would be good with it. The map on my chart shows me where to find the bread. It’s like the store is helping me to shop.

   How does the store make this kind of shopping experience possible? The answer is radio frequency identification chip (or RFID射频识别). Each chip has a special number. Using an RFID reader on the computer, we can get information from a chip about the product(产品). RFID will help shoppers find the things in a store more quickly– products that are just right for them. In addition, people won’t have to wait in long lines to pay. The things in your cart will be read by the computer and the money will be paid by your store ID card automatically(自动地). So you can simply walk out of the store with your shopping bags.

  Sounds good, right? Maybe you will experience the new shopping soon in your city.

1.Why are so many people coming to the Extra Future Store?

A. They hope to buy a new kind of computers.

B. They want to play some new high– tech games.

C. They expect to experience a new way of shopping.

D. They plan to learn how to use the FRID readers.

2.What is the right order to shop in this store?

①Look for the things you want to buy and find them.

②Swipe your store ID card through the computer.

③Walk out of the store without waiting in lines.

④The computer shows you a map and some ads.

A.②①④③⑤   B.①②⑤③④   C.②①⑤③④   D.②④①⑤③
