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? In your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation. It’s not surprising, because the idea of home is "different from country to country, and from person to person. A home is more than a roof and four walls. It’s the 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, 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 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 time. They often move every ten years or so. "
--Chery, Boston, USA.
What a e features (特征) of homes in your country ?
"In Britain, even in town, there’s always a garden. We have separate bedrooms and living rooms. But we don’t often have balconies(阳台). The weather isn’t warm enough !"
--Pat, Exeter, EnglandThe word "home" sometimes has no exact translation because________.
A.people can’t find this word in the dictionary |
B.no one knows what it is |
C.it has different meanings in different countries |
D.people can’t understand each other very well |
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 |
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 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. |

Giving a gift can mean a lot. It can be a way to deepen (加深) a friendship. Before you get a gift for someone, spend time really thinking about what makes him or her special. Think about their interests, hobbies, needs and happiest moments. For example, friends and families with children might love a special calendar that contains everyone’s birthday and other special dates and events.
For music fans, a CD filled (填充) with their favourite music always makes a special gift.
Spending time with loved ones is also a way to give them a gift. You might take that special person out for a birthday dinner at your favourite restaurant.
Making a gift for someone using your own skills is very special. It is much more meaningful than a store-bought gift and shows how much you care!

Hi Vince,It's been a while since we got in touch last time.

I've already been here for several weeks, and I feel like I am finally adapting (适应)to the culture. I'm also speaking the language better.I arrived here on September 1st. The weather has been very nice. Even though it's October, it's still rather sunny and warm. In fact, I went to the beach and swam in the Mediterranean Sea(地中海)earlier today.I am living with a very welcoming host family. I have my own private bedroom. We eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. On Sundays, we have a big home- cooked paella for lunch. In Spain, lunch is usually the biggest meal of the day.

Tomorrow, October 12th, is Spain's National Day. We will have a five-day holiday. A group of my friends and I are going to travel to France for four days.

If a snake bites you, take a photo with your mobile phone! It save your life. This is the surprising advice of a British cook. One day Henry Jackson was working in a restaurant kitchen. He picked up a dish from a table, and suddenly a snake appeared and bit him on the hand. A few days earlier, the snake came to the restaurant from Asia in a box of bananas. It climbed out of the box and hid under the dish. “ I tried to pick it up and it bit me. I threw it away, but it landed in the fridge. So I closed the door.” Jackson said.
