I have seen families on the street. But if they live , sleep , talk , and eat together , they are a family, even if they are poorly off. You don’t need a roof to make a home. The truly homeless are some of the rich people who build multi-million-dollar houses and are too busy to live in them . The truly homeless are those who have turned their home into a hotel lobby . The parents work. The children do wrong . They don’t talk and eat together every day . They rarely see each other . The truly homeless people are those with babysitters , caretakers , gardeners and maids. Parents are unaware , too busy making money outside the home that they don’t live in . This is another way of looking at the rich and the homeless . Who is to be pitied ?
Control of the computer and the Internet is also important to make a house into a home. If the computer is on all the time , the house turns into an office, even if everyone is at home . Many homes these days are just offices. Human communication has stopped . The computer eats up the time that one should be giving to others within the home . Using the computer moderately gives us time for gentleness , play and communication , not with a screen , but with a human being.

小题2:C
小题3:C
小题4:B
解析
试题分析：文章通过下定义和对比的方法阐述了作者对家的看法。家是一个充满爱、关心和温暖的地方；是一个彼此爱护、互相扶持的地方；真正没有家的人不是头顶没有屋顶的人们，而是那些住在豪宅里却整天忙忙碌碌，无暇顾及彼此的人们。
小题1:C主旨大意题。从文章开头的设问What is it that makes a house a home ? 以及A home is a place of companionship；A home is a place of companionship可知本段中心是作者阐述家的概念。
小题2:C词义猜测题。从下文Parents are unaware , too busy making money outside the home that they don’t live in .可知此处those指那些忙忙碌碌，没时间和家人在一起的人们。所以C选项正确。
小题3:C细节理解题。从文章末段Control of the computer and the Internet is also important to make a house into a home. 可知要控制电脑和网络的使用才会让一栋房子成为一个家，所以C选项正确。
小题4:B主旨大意题。文章开头提出家的概念，然后通过对比展开论述，最后说如何能构建一个和睦的家庭。所以B选项正确。

举一反三
Develop social skills
As children play pretend, they explore relationships between family members, friends and coworkers and learn more about how people interact. Playing doctor, they imagine how physicians care for their patients. Playing house, they learn more about how parents feel about their children. Imaginative play helps develop empathy(同情) for others. If children can imagine how it feels to be left out of a game or to lose a pet, they are better able to help those in need. They become more willing to play fair, to share, and to cooperate.
Build selfconfidence
Young children have very little control over their lives. Imagining oneself as a builder of skyscrapers(摩天大楼) or a superhero defending the planet is empowering to a child. It helps them develop confidence in their abilities and their potential.
Boost intellectual growth
Using the imagination is the beginning of abstract thought.Children who can see a king"s castle in a mound(堆) of sand or a delicious dinner in a mud pie are learning to think symbolically(象征性地). This skill is important in school where a child will have to learn that numerals symbolize groups of objects, letters symbolize sounds, and so on.
Practice language skills
Kids who play pretend with their friends do a lot of talking.This helps boost their vocabulary, improve sentence structure and promote communication skills.
Work out fears
Playing pretend can help children work out their fears and worries. When children roleplay about the big, bad monster under the bed, they gain a sense of control over him and he doesn"t seem quite so big or so bad. Imaginative play also helps kids vent(发泄) confusing feelings they might have, such as anger toward a parent or compete with a new sibling(兄弟姐妹)．
To encourage your youngster"s imagination, read to him every day. Books offer children the opportunity to visit other worlds and create new ones of their own.
For generations children have enjoyed reading the story of Peter Pan because Peter takes them on fascinating adventures.Reader"s Digest Young Families offers a beautiful typical Disney edition of Peter Pan, which is an iParenting Media Award winner. Click here to find out how you can get this classic story along with 2 free books-Bambi and Pinocchio.

Those whose mothers are still living often wear a pink or red rose or carnation(康乃馨)， while those whose mothers are dead wear a white one.
The idea of a day for mothers was first given by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia. As a result of her hard work, the celebration of the first American Mother’s Day was held in Philadelphia(费城） on May 10, 1908. Soon the holiday became popular all over the country and around the world.
In China, people do the same on the day for mothers. And, in some cities, people sometimes ask a song to be broadcast(广播) for his or her mother only. This might cost a little money for some of them, but, as it is said, “Love is invaluable.”
On May 8, 1999, just the day before the Mother’s Day that year, a Chinese mother was killed in criminal bombing(罪恶轰炸). Her name is Shao Yanhuan, a heroic mother. All the Chinese will remember her forever.

First, happy workers enjoy the daily activities of their jobs, and they look forward to the workday. Take Tony Hawk, for example. At age 14, he became a professional skateboarder. Now he is a businessman working on projects related to skateboarding—films and video games, but he still skates every day. He once said, “My youngest son’s pre-school was recently asked what their dads do for work. My son said, ‘I’ve never seen my dad do work.’” Tony agrees that his job doesn’t look like work. He has found a way to spend each day doing a job he enjoys.
Second, happy workers like the people they work with. Sally Ayote says, “I work with the coolest people in the world.” She and her group cook for almost 1,200 people in Antarctica. Most of these people are scientists who are doing research. Sally loves to sit and talk with them. She says, “There is no television here, no radio, so I get to know the scientists and what they’re studying.” Sally thinks she has a great job, and the best part about it is the people.
Third, happy workers know that their work helps others. Caroline Baron’s work helps people who have had to leave their home countries because of war or other dangers. She is a filmmaker who started an organization called FilmAid, which shows movies in refugee(难民) camps around the world. Caroline believes that movies can be very helpful in these camps. For one thing, entertaining movies let refugees forget their troubles for a little while. Movies can also teach important subjects like health and safety. For example, in one camp, thousands of refugees saw a movie about how to get clean water. Caroline knows that is helping other people, and this makes her feel proud and happy about her work.
Tony Hawk, Sally Ayote, and Caroline Baron all get great satisfaction from their work. Tony Hawk says, “Find the thing you love. If you are doing what you love, there is much more happiness there than being rich or famous.” Joanne Gordon would agree. She encourages people to find something they enjoy doing, find people they like to work with, and find ways to help others. Then they can be proud of what they do, and they will probably be happy at work.
小题1:Who is the book, Be Happy at Work, written for?
| A．Joanne Gordon herself. |
| B．Tony Hawk, Sally Ayote, and Caroline Baron. |
| C．People who do not feel satisfied with their jobs. |
| D．The workers who agree with the author’s ideas. |
| A．Because Tony Hawk’s job doesn’t look like work. |
| B．Because Tony Hawk always finds something enjoyable in his job. |
| C．Because Tony helps people forget their troubles while skating. |
| D．Because the best part about his job is to spend each day skating. |
| A．how to be a successful businessman |
| B．how to help people in difficulties |
| C．how to get along with the coolest people |
| D．how to become a happy worker |
| A．Some people believe that only a few kinds of jobs can really make people feel happy. |
| B．The writer of the passage tells us that many different kinds of work can be enjoyable. |
| C．The author of Be Happy at Work thinks that happiness at work is really important. |
| D．Joanne Gordon believes that people will probably be happy at work when they are proud of what they do. |

Wranglers（争吵者） and Stranglers（扼***者）
Years ago there was a group of brilliant young men at the University of Wisconsin, who seemed to have amazing creative 36 talent. They were would-be poets, novelists, and essayists. They were extraordinary in their 37 to put the English language to its best use. These promising young men 38 regularly to read and critique (评论) each other"s work. And critique it they did!
These men were merciless with one another. They 39 the minutest literary expression into a hundred pieces. They were heartless, tough, even mean in their 40 .The sessions became such areas of literary criticism that the 41 of this special club called themselves the “Stranglers (扼***者)”.
In order to 42 , the women of literary talent in the university 43 to start a club of their own, one comparable to the Stranglers. They 44 themselves the “Wranglers (争论者)”.They, too, read their 45 one another. But there was one great difference. The criticism was much softer, more 46 , more encouraging. Sometimes, there was almost no criticism at all. Every effort, even the weakest one, was 47 .
Twenty years later an alumnus (男校友；男毕业生) of the university was making an exhaustive (详尽的；彻底的) 48 of his classmates" careers when he 49 a vast difference in the literary accomplishments of the Stranglers as opposed to the Wranglers. Of all the 50 young men in the Stranglers, no one had made a significant literary 51 of any kind. From the Wranglers had come six or more successful 52 , some of national renown (名望；声誉) such as Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, who wrote The Yearling.
Talent between the two？Probably the same. Level of 53 ？Not much difference. But the Stranglers were strangled, while the Wranglers were determined to give each other a(an) 54 .The Stranglers 55 an atmosphere of argument and self-doubt. The Wranglers highlighted the best, not the worst.

Pay-as-you-go In this form, a guest enters the park at little or no charge. The guest must then buy rides one by one, either at the attraction’s entrance or by buying ride tickets. The cost of the attraction is often based on its complexity (复杂性) or popularity. The park may allow guests to buy unlimited admissions to all attractions within the park. A pass is then shown at the attraction entrance to gain admission.
Disneyland opened in 1955 using the pay-as-you-go form. Initially, guests paid the ride admission fees at the attractions. Soon, the problems of dealing with so many coins led to the development of a ticket system that, while now out of use, is still part of the amusement-park vocabulary. In this new form, guests bought ticket books that contained a number of tickets, with “A,” “B” and “C.” Rides and attractions using an “A-ticket” were generally simple, with “B-tickets” and “C-tickets” used for the larger, more popular rides. Later, the “D-ticket” was added, then finally the now-famous “E-ticket,” which was used for the biggest rides, like Space Mountain. Smaller tickets could be traded up for use on larger rides. Disneyland, as well as the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, gave up this practice in 1982.
The advantages include:
guests pay for only what they choose to experience
attraction costs can be changed easily
The disadvantages include:
guests may get tired of spending money almost continuously
guests may not spend as much on food or souvenirs
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
| A．Attractions of amusement parks |
| B．Admission fees of amusement parks. |
| C．Admission principles of amusement parks |
| D．Sources of income of amusement parks. |
| A．don’t pay at the gate of the park |
| B．must pay for each ride they take |
| C．have to pay for all rides in the park |
| D．needn’t pay after entering the park |
| A．Gradually. | B．At the beginning. | C．At last. | D．Commonly. |
| A．The other admission principle |
| B．Amusement parks’ earnings. |
| C．Some other admission principles |
| D．Users of the pay-as-you-go principle. |
