Would you like to experience what going to school was like in the late 1800s? to start with, imagine everyone in school only one classroom.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, most American students went to a one-room schoolhouse. A single teacher would typically(典型地) have students in the first through eighth grades, and she taught them all. The number of students varied from six to 40 or more. The youngest children sat in the front, while the oldest students sat in the back. The teacher usually taught reading, writing, arithmetic, history, and geography. Students memorized(记忆) and retold their lessons.
The classroom of a one-room schoolhouse probably looked much like your own. The teacher’s desk stood on a raised platform(讲台) at the front of the room, however, and there was a wood-burning stove since there was no other way of heating. The bathroom was outside in an outhouse.
In Honeoye Falls, New York, there is a one-room schoolhouse where kids today can experience what it was like to the students in the late 19th century. For a week during the summer, they wear 19th century clothes and learn the way children learned more than a hundred years ago.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don't act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, "I love you" is too luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine's Day is even more out of the question. Finally my father has a bad temper. When he's very tired from the hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temper.
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat down beside her and looked at her. "Mom, I have a question to ask you," I said after a while. "What?" she replied, still doing her work. "Is there love between you and Dad?" I asked her in a very low voice. My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. She didn't answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. I was in a great embarrassment and I didn't know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
"Susan," she said thoughtfully, "Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really there. Love is inside."
小题1: Why does Susan’s father have a bad temper?
A.Because he doesn’t love the family.
B.Because he doesn’t earn much money.
C.Because he’s very tired from the hard work.
D.Because he doesn’t act in the romantic ways.
小题2: In Susan’s opinion, _______________________.
A.her mother enjoys doing chores at home.
B.her parents love each other very much.
C.love means sending flowers on Valentine’s Day and saying “I love you”
D.her parents love to make money.

One day, a young man visited a small farm in the countryside. As he got closer to the farm, he saw many chickens and an eagle (鹰) playing together.

  Peter and Paul had a permission from their parents to camp in a field close to their farm. But, being adventurous boys, they knew it would be more      to camp in the woods that lay beyond the river. Excitedly, the boys went away with their tent and food.
Carrying their heavy load, the two brothers walked along the riverbank,      noticing the distance or the sun beating down. They were eager to reach their destination before lunchtime. As they entered the cool, shadowy woods, they began to search for a suitable camping spot. Peter wanted to      close to the river at the edge of the woods, but Paul, who was older, insisted that they camp further away.      Peter followed his brother deeper into the woods. “This really is a wonderful setting!” said Paul in excitement. They      the tent, and settled down to eat the sandwiches they had made, then decided to find their way      to the river to catch some fish.
“Are you sure that this is the right way  ?” whispered Peter shakily. “I’m sure we passed that hollow tree just a while ago. ” Paul walked         silently. “Look, there it is again. We’re lost, aren’t we?” complained Peter. Paul had to admit that he didn’t know where they were.       , they were a long distance from where they were supposed to be. They were not even sure of where they had set up their camp. They set in         for a few minutes until Peter had a bright idea. “Why don’t we look for clues(线索) the way trackers do in the movies? We weren’t careful about how we walked, so I’m sure we would have left behindsome broken tree branches and leaves. ”
Carefully, the boys followed the marks that they had left, until finally they found their campsite. Hurriedly, they packed their belongings and set off       the direction of the river.
