高一下学期英语阅读理解练习题A Nowadays, most of us live a busy life. What do you do to keep yourself relaxed? Besides spending time with family, having a glass of wine with friends or reading a book, how about a hobby? Personally, Im a collector. I like blue and white pieces the best-blue and white anythingPlates，jars，vases, cups, bowls-I love them all. Collecting items is like something you cant get enough of. You get one, and you want to have more. I find collecting to be a fun and inspirational hobby. In many ways, its like a puzzle Im never tired of solving. I look high and low for new pieces to add to my collection. I can often be found visiting Marshells, looking over their inexpensive offerings. In fact, I found one of my favorite pieces there. Ive mixed inexpensive pieces from Marshells with more expensive finds. A lot of times, its the piece Im not looking for that falls into my lap; I find a way to make it part of my blue and white family. What I love about my collection is that when I get inspired, I can move them around the house, mix and match and make things look fresh and new.Ever since I was a little girl, blue has been my favorite color. I think I got it from my aunt in Mexico. Some of my earliest memories are visiting her in Mexico and sitting on a chair in her kitchen, which had blue and white tiles(瓷砖)from the floor to the ceiling.

My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.“Look down, Elsa,” father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of twisting, turning streets leading to the square. “ See, my dear,” father said gently. “ There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you cant get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.When I turned to father for help, he didnt say anything. Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.At school the next day, I secretly poured my luncheon（午餐）soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered（喷溅出） “ The cook must have gone mad！” Quickly I told her what I had done, and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson father taught me.

About 65% of Americans said they have sleeping problems a few nights each week, according to a recent study by the National Sleep Foundation.
