Malls are popular for Americans to go to. Some people spend      　much time at malls that they are called “mall rats”. Mall rats shop until they visit hundreds of stores.
People like malls for many      　. They feel safe because malls have police stations. Parking is usually      　, and the temperature inside is always fine. The newest malls have beautiful rest areas with waterfalls and large green trees.
The     　 mall in the United States is the mall of America in Minnesota. It covers 4.2 million square feet. It has 350 stores, eight night clubs, and a large park! There are parking spaces for 12,750    　. About 750,000 people shop there every week.
The first mall in the United States was built in 1965 in Edina, Minnesota. People love doing all their shopping in      　 place(s). More malls are built around the country. Now malls are like town centers where people come to      　many things, they shop, of course, they also eat in food courts that have food from all over the world. They see movies at theaters. Some people even get their daily      　 by doing the new sport of “ mall walking.”       　 go to malls to meet friends.
In some malls, people can see a doctor or a dentist and even go to the church. In other words, people can do just about       　 in malls. Now people can actually live in their favorite shopping center.

(1)I was only an 11-year-old girl when my parents told me that we would soon move to America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear(忍受）the thought of never hearing the radio program for school children again which I listened to every morning.
In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving, I even felt a little excited because I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.
The first four years in America taught me the importance of optimism（樂觀）, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools and I (2)________most of my time(2)_________learning the English language.I hardly had any time for fun. Sometimes I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried(再婚), and things became even harder for me. It took me some time to get used to my stepfather(繼父). I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.”
I had to do many things for the family since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated(翻譯）all kinds of information and took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there.
Luckily, things got better and better later and almost all common troubles went away at last  From those experiences I have learned one important rule: Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little!
小題1:將（1）句譯成中文：_________________________________________________________
小題2:在（2）處填入兩個合適的詞，使句意完整，上下文通順：__________; __________
小題3:回答問題：Why did the writer feel excited when they were leaving?

Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other.

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容，在文章后第56-65小題的空格里填入一個最恰當?shù)膯卧~。
注意：每個空格只填一個單詞 
People visit other countries for many purposes. Some travel on businesses; others travel to visit interesting places that are only found in other countries.
Wherever you go, and for whatever purpose, it’s important to be safe. A tourist can attract a lot of attention from local people. While most people you meet when travelling are sure to be nice, there are dangers—theft being the most common. So prepare for your trip in advance.
As you prepare for your trip, make sure you have the right paperwork. You don’t want to get to your destination （目的地）only to find you have the wrong visa, or worse, that your passport is about to expire (到期). Also, make sure you travel with proper medical insurance, so that if you are sick or injured during your travels, you can be treated. If you want to drive while you are abroad, make sure you have an international driver’s license.
If you need to take medicine with you—such as travel-sickness pills—keep it in its original container（容器）. If you don’t, you may find yourself doing a lot of explaining to customs officials at your destination.
Buy a guidebook and read about the local customs of the country you are going to. Also, try and learn a few basic words and phrases—don’t assume that the local people will speak your language.
When you get to your destination, you’d better use official transport. Always go to the bus and taxi stands, don’t accept rides from strangers who offer you a lift. If there is no meter in the taxi, agree on a price before you get in. If you prefer to stay in cheap hotels while travelling, make sure you can lock the door of your room from the inside. If you are travelling with valuables such as jewelry, or a lot of money, you should ask about a safe for storing them in. Finally, remember to smile. It’s the friendliest and most sincere form of communication, and is sure to be understood in any part of the world!

If you want to get the most out of the study of a language, you must also read for pleasure: novels, plays, travel books, and so on. And in reading books of this kind the important thing is to get on with the reading; to try to catch what the writer is going to tell you in the book as a whole. This is impossible if you stop and think over the meaning of every single word which happens to be unfamiliar. You can not enjoy a story if you stop a few times on every page in order to look up words in the dictionary. You may even prevent(妨礙) yourself from understanding the story as a whole by doing this.
When you are reading books of this kind, therefore, you will usually have to depend mainly on the context (上下文) to help you. If you meet an unfamiliar word, do not let it take too much of your attention from the main idea of the story. In all probability you will meet the same word again a few pages later on in a slightly different context, and each time you see it that your understanding of it will become more exact.
小題1:To read for pleasure means _____________.
A．to take pleasure in reading
B．to be satisfied in reading book
C．to read such books as novels, plays, travel books, etc
D．to go on with reading pleasantly
小題2:The phrase “to get on with reading” in the passage has the same meaning as “     ”.
A．to try to grasp the meaning of every sentence in the book
B．to try to catch the meaning of every word in the book
C．to try to understand all the writer is going to tell you
D．to try to understand the main idea of the book
小題3:The best title for this passage is “___________”.
A．Read for PleasureB．Get on with the Books
C．Reading SkillsD．The Importance of Reading

Mr. Brown’s house was less than two miles from his office, so he could drive home every day for lunch.
