Its the most important to help the children in AfricaBWhat does the word “home” mean to you? How do you say the word in English? In Spanish? In your language? Although people usually know what the word means it often has no exact translation. Its not surprising really, because the idea of home varies from country to country, and from person to person. A home is more than a roof and four walls. Its the cooking, eating, talking, playing and family living that go on inside, which are important as well. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.But its not just that homes look different in different countries, they also contain different things and reveal（显示）different attitudes（态度） and needs. For example, in cold northern Europe, theres a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south, where the sun shines a lot and its more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows, cool stone floors and often no carpets. We asked some people about their homes. How often do people move house in your country? “In my country many people dont stay in one place for a very long time. They often move every ten years or so.” Cheryl, Boston, USAWhat are typical features of homes in your country? “In Britain, even in town theres always a garden and sometimes a basement. We have separate bedrooms and living rooms. But we dont often have balconies. The weather isnt warm enough!” Pat, Exeter, England61.

Why is it important to keep the heat out of the houses in southern Europe?A. Because they want to breathe fresh air outside.B. Because theres a fire in the living room.C. Because they wear heavy clothing all day long.D. Because the sun there shines a lot in the daytime.64. How often do people move home in the United States?A. Once every year.B.

People in Britain seldom have balconies because its so hot outside.B. “Home” is a place where people feel safe, relaxed and comfortable.C. Though homes look different in places, they have the same needs.D. Houses in Europe always have big windows and cool stone floors. CCyril was a small town. The houses there were all made of wood; almost everything in the houses such as cupboards, tables and chairs were made of wood, too. And all the houses faced south. The town was never peaceful. Fire broke out once a week on summer afternoons. People there were puzzled who the real firebug was.One day a big fire broke out. It was said that a black had jumped out of the house on fire, so the police arrested all the blacks in the street. However, fire never stopped to breaking out when the blacks were in prison.Watson, a physics teacher didnt believe that the blacks were the firebugs, for he really knew about those blacks. He made up his mind to find out who the real firebug was.One day he was invited to drink in a pub and happened to notice that many bottles and plastic plates were baked by the hot sunrays. Suddenly he realized what the actual fact was. He jumped with joy, saying, “Ive got the answer!”Watson dashed out of the pub to his friends house nearby, which also faced south. He made an experiment there to prove his idea.The next Saturday afternoon, Watson asked some policemen and newsmen to come to the house. They were told that the real firebug would be shown there. At that time the sun was shining full into the house and it became hotter and hotter inside the room.Someone wanted to draw the curtains together, while another was going to use a bottle to drink water, but neither got permission from Watson, who wanted to let the firebug in.“Now,” said Watson, “this house will soon catch fire.” People looked at each other in surprise. Watson asked them to look at the bottles and focus on the table cloth. After a while the cloth gave off a burning smell and began to catch fire!The mystery of fire was discovered, but the police wouldnt believe him and insisted that blacks had been the firebugs. Instead they arrested Watson and put him into prison. But Watson said he would never turn against science.66. The town was never peaceful, for fire broke out .

It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week. Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Getting material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long-hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Donald and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny （保姆）. Most evenings Donald wouldnt get home until eight or nine oclock, and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by. Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm here,” says Donald, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. Its taken some getting used to, but its
