The most unforgettable experience I had there was joining the Boy Scouts (童子军) of America. It was there that I got to face a great challenge: camping in the rain.One Saturday, we went hiking in the rain for more than six hours. When we finally reached the camping site, my shoes, my clothes, my bag and all the things inside it were totally soaked.Then, an even worse thing happened. Our guide teacher stepped out and said: “Todays hiking is a test. Were not going back home tonight! We have to live here tonight!” Soon we began to accept the truth and went to work. We just covered ourselves with a kind of plastic sheet and lay down by the campfire. While sleeping, I woke up several times. But to my surprise, I adapted (适应) to the environment quickly. Many others didnt even fall asleep.The sun finally rose and our hope returned. The bus came at 6 am and sent us back to our lovely home.Many in China say that children in the US were born with an adventurous spirit. But I think they were born with nothing different. Instead, they make differences by facing troubles positively. The camping adventure was a gift they gave themselves. Many Chinese children are over-protected when they are growing up. Therefore, when facing troubles, how can it be possible for us to react positively?（1）How is the passage organized?A . /B . /C . /D . /（2）Whats the meaning of the underlined word “soaked” in paragraph 2?A . dirtyB . brokenC . wetD . tidy（3）During the camping, the writer_.A . couldnt fall asleep like othersB . complained all the time and refused to accept the teachers testC . arranged everything well and soon adapted to the environmentD . enjoyed sleeping outside and had a deep sleep（4）Which is the best title for the passage?A . The Boy Scouts of AmericaB . My Experience in the Boy ScoutsC . An Unforgettable Day with My Host FamilyD . The Differences between American Children and Chinese Children14. （8分）根据短文内容, 选择正确答案。CBeiJingHeavy haze still.
