You may have heard of the famous saying, "East or West, home is the best." What does the word "home" mean to you? How do you say the word in French? In Chinese? Or in your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no right translation(翻译). It's not surprising, because the idea of home is different from country to country, and from person to person. A home is cooking, eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.

Homes look different in different countries. They also have different things inside. For example, in cold northern Europe(欧洲), there's a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it's more important to keep the heat(热) out, there are small windows and cool stone floors.

We asked some people about their homes.

How often do people move house in your country?

"In my country many people don't stay in one place for a very long lime. They often move every ten years. " —Chery, Boston, USA.

What are features(特征) of homes in your country?

"In Britain, there's always a garden. We have bedrooms and living rooms. But we don't often have balconies. The weather isn't warm enough!" —Pat. Exeter, England

47. According to the passage, at home, you can do everything except ▲ .

A. making friends B. cooking and eating

C playing and talking D. sleeping and relaxing

48. Why is it important to keep the heat out of the houses in southern Europe?

A. Because they like fresh air outside.

B. Because there's a fire in the living room.

C. Because they wear heavy clothes all day long.

D. Because the sun there shines a lot.

49. From the second paragraph, what kind of homes people want to have depends on(依赖于)

▲ .

A. whether(是否)they are rich or not

B. the climate(气候) they have

C. how old they are

D. whether they live in the city or countryside

50. Which of the following is true?

八、书面表达(共1题;满分11分)

How to be a good friend?

If you want to make good friends with others, be one. But how can we be good friends? First, I think a good friend should be helpful and polite. Nobody like unhelpful students. We should try to help our friends when they are in trouble. Second, a good friend should be generous enough to share his or her things with others. And finally, a good friend should work hard at lessons. If he or she does well in lessons, he or she will make friends more easily.

I hope all these will be helpful to us.
