There are some similarities and some differences between growing up in Australia and China.
I lived in a small town of about 20,000 people, called Gympie on the east coast of Queensland. It is not as crowded in Australia, so people can live in houses that have front and back yards. I always enjoyed playing on the grass in the front yard.
Each weekday morning I would wake up at about 7 a.m. and get ready for school. My favourite cereal(谷物) was called Weet-Bix. I often ate nine or ten Weet-Bix to copy my favourite sports stars that I saw on TV!
As well as playing sports, I also played the saxophone. Some mornings I went to school early for band practice and played my saxophone, before classes started at 8:30 a.m. English and PE were my favourite subjects at school. My friends and I played tag(捉人嬉戏) or handball during our lunch breaks.
School finished at 3 p.m. After that I would usually go to sports training. In summer I played cricket and in winter I played hockey. Sometimes I played tennis too!
When I finally got home I was very tired. For a special treat, my mother sometimes cooked my favourite meal: apricot(杏子) chicken! Then I did my homework and read a book. I always went to sleep before 9 p.m.
On the weekend I played sports, visited a friend's house or watched TV.
Gympie was a great place to grow up!

A.A house without yards.

2. How long should the writer stay at school on the weekday?
A.For 8 hours.

C.For 6.5 hours.
D.For 6 hours.
3. How many sports does the writer talk about?

It was a cold night in Washington,D.C.and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat. I’d read the signs: “Don`t give money to panhand lers(乞丐)” So I shook my head and kept walking.
I wasn’t prepared for a reply, but with resignation, he said,“ really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!”But I kept on walking. The incident bothered me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldn’t have killed me to hand over a buck or two even if he had been lying. On a frigid, cold night, no less,I assumed(呈现) the worst of a fellow human being. Flying back to Anchorage, I couldn`t help thinking of him. I tried to rationalize my failure to help by assuming government agencies, churches, and charities were there to feed him. Besides,you`re not supposed to give money to panhandlers. Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Bean`s Café, the soup kitchen in Anchorage, feeds hundreds of hungry Alaskans every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens dedicated to Bean`s? Dedicate a row and take it down to Bean`s. Clean and simple.
We didn’t keep records back then,but the idea began to take off. Folks would fax me or call when they book something in. Those who only grew flowers donated them. Food for the spirit. And salve for my conscience.

Still in shock! I moved around the house purposelessly trying to decide what to put into the suitcases(行李箱). Earlier that evening, I'd received a call telling me that my brother was killed in a car crash. “Come as soon as you can,” cried my mother.
I wanted to hurry to her at once. But my husband, Larry, and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle. Our house was in total mess. Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table. Toys lay everywhere. I purposelessly picked things up and put them down. Mother's crying went through my head again and again.
Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened. Someone asked to speak to me. “If there's anything I can do, let me know.” But I didn't know what to ask for.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was Emerson. He and his wife Donna lived in the block nearby.
“I've come to clean your shoes,” he said.
I asked him to repeat.
“Donna had to stay with the baby,” he said, “but we want to help you. I remember when my father died, it took me hours to clean our shoes for the funeral(葬礼). Give me all your shoes.”
I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen. Emerson got to work right away. Watching him devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order.
I told myself to wash clothes first. Then, Larry and I bathed the children and put
them to bed. One job after another.
When we returned to clear the dishes, Emerson had left. All our shoes stood in a line against the wall, clean, shining. I couldn't help crying. Early next morning, we left for the airport with all the jobs done.
Now whenever I hear of a friend who's lost a loved one, I no longer call with the polite offer, “If there's anything I can do…” Instead I try to think of one specific task that suits that man's need, like taking the dog to the boarding kennel, or house-sitting during the funeral. If the person asks, “How did you know I needed that done?” I reply, “Because a man once cleaned my shoes.”
1.The writer didn't know what to put into the suitcases because .
A.she couldn't do it on her own
B.she was too sad to do anything
C.she wanted to take everything to Seattle
D.she was not good at housework

Which of the events should go in the empty box above?
A.Emerson came to clean the shoes.
B.The couple bathed the children.
C.They cleared the supper dishes.
D.The writer found the shoes cleaned.
3.If one of her friends has lost a loved one, what will the writer probably NOT do?
A.Call her friend to ask what she can do.
B.Look after her friend's young children.
C.Take her friend's dog to the boarding kennel.
D.Offer her friend house-sitting during the funeral.
4.Which sentence best expresses the theme of this story?
