阅读理解。     I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower
of Pisa.But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza. I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza.
It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought.
     Many years later finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that is was Pisa and no pizza. But there was
still something special about it for me.The tower got its name because it really does lean to one side. Some
people want to try to fix it. They are afraid it may fall over and they don`t like it leans over the city.
     I do not think it`s a good idea to try to fix it.The tower probably will not fall down, it is 600 years old. why
should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. To me it is a very human kind
of leaning.Nothing is perfect, it seems to say.
     And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let`s
take the tower in Pisa. Why is it so famous? There are many other older,more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa
tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it. 1. This passage is about ________.A. Italian pizza

        In England, we call Mother"s Day Mothering Sunday, because it"s always on a
Sunday. I don"t really know the origin of it but I remember that my mother had a
cup of tea early in the morning. And then we would go to church. And at the end
of the church service, the children would collect a daffodil (水仙花) and take it
back and give it to our mother who would normally be sitting in the service in the
church. And really that"s all we did to celebrate the day.

     The history of the United States is a history of people on the move. The Native Americans came to
North America thousands of years ago. Some of them built villages and stayed there, but many moved from
place to place.   
     The first travelers from Europe came to live in an unknown land. At first, they stayed near the coast,
but then a few brave men went west, far into the country. Two of them were Meriwether Lewis and William
Clark. In 1804, they started on their long journey from St. Louis, Missouri, to the Pacific Ocean. They
followed the Missouri River west, went across the Rocky Mountains, and followed the Columbia River to the
Pacific. Then, they turned around, and traveled back to St. Louis.
     During the next 150 years, millions of poor people came from the old cities of Europe. They built the new
cities of US, and farmed the land. But they did not always stay in their new cities or on their farms. Many
people moved on, deeper and deeper into the new land. Some followed religious leaders (宗教领袖) like
Joseph Smith. He and his followers built Salt Lake City in Utah. Others went to look for gold. After the
California Gold Rush in 1849, San Francisco grew from a village to a city in only a few years.
     People are still moving to the US and finding new homes there. Up to one million people come into the
US from Mexico in one year. At the same time, many more arrive from the Pacific nations and regions-from
the Philippines, Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan and also from Central and South America. The history of the US is
still on the move.
