My mother moved a lot when she was growing up on account of Grandpa being in the army. She hated having to adjust to new schools and make new friends. That's why I thought she was joking when she put forward the idea of moving. But she was completely serious. "For just the two of us," my mother said, "an apartment in the city will suit our needs much better." Personally, I think she lost her mind. I guess I can understand why she would want to move, but what about me and what this house means to me？ I suppose if you looked at my house, you might think it was just another country house. But to me it is anything but standard. I moved into this house with my parents ten years ago. I can still remember that first day like it was yesterday. The first thing I noticed was the big front yard. To me it seemed like an ocean of grass-couldn't wait to dive in. The backyard was full of gnarled （扭曲的, 粗糙的) and scary trees that talked on windy nights. But I grew to like them and the shadows they cast in my room. My father and I even built a small tree house, where I often go to remember all the wonderful time we had before Father's death. This house is special-maybe only to me-but special nevertheless. It's the little seemingly insignificant things that make this house so special to me; the ice-cold tile floors that make me tremble on midnight snake runs; the smell of my fathers pipe that still exists; the towering bookcases of my mother; the view outside my bedroom window. This house bears too many memories, memories which would be lost if we gave it up.
Why did the author's mother decide to move？[ ]
A. Because she hated the countryside. B. Because Grandpa was on constant move. C. Because Dad's death made her lose her mind. D. Because she thought a city flat more fit for them.
What impressed the author when she first moved into the house？[ ]
A. The tree house B. The big trees C. The cold floors D. The green grass
How did the author let us feel that the house was special to her？[ ]
A. By arguing whether the house was standard. B. By explaining why the house suited their needs. C. By describing the small things related to her house. D. By comparing the differences between country and city life.
The author describes the house with _____.[ ]
A. love B. responsibility C. promise D. enthusiasm

The meaning of the word "volunteer" may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means "one who offers his or her services." There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage （垃圾) from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don't expect any kind of pay. At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa's homes in Calcutta. The following is her story. "I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video （录像) about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks." "I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don't think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture （文化) that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world."
According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who _____.[ ]
A. is willing to help those in need without pay B. can afford to travel to different places C. has a strong wish to be successful D. has made a lot of money in life

A. after she met Mother Teresa B. after she finished high school C. when she was touring Calcutta D. when she was working in a hospital

What is Tracy's "new idea" （Paragraph 2) of being a volunteer？[ ]
A. Going abroad to help the sick. B. Working in Mother Teresa's home. C. Doing simple things to help the poor. D. Improving oneself through helping others.

Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take friendship for granted, we often don't clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, 1______. Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term "friendship". In all cases, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other change greatly. At the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. As we get to know people, 2______.
