At the age of sixteen, I went on my first volunteer program in West Virginia to repair or build homes for poor families. When we arrived, we discovered that the family we were going to help was living in a trailer（拖车式活动房）that was in poor condition, no bigger than two parking spaces. A group of people had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another appeared.
We soon decided that the only way was to build a new house. It was something unusual because normally our goal was to repair old homes. The family was pleased with their new house that was 20 by 30 feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.
On Tuesday of that week, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, “What do you want for your new room?” Kids in the families we had helped usually wanted toys or posters, so we were surprised when Josh, the oldest boy said, “We just want beds.” The boys had never slept in a bed. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.
On Friday when we saw the truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. They were very excited.
That afternoon, while we were setting up the beds, Eric ran into the house to watch us with wide eyes. As Maggie, a member of our group, put one of the pillows on the bed, Eric asked, “What is that?”
“A pillow,” she replied.
“What do you do with it?” Eric went on asking.
“When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” Maggie answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow.
“Oh . . . that’s soft,” he said, holding it tightly.
Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems very urgent（急迫的）, my dad always asks, “Do you have a pillow?” We know exactly what he means.
1.Why did the writer’s group build a new house for the family?
A. Because it was their normal work.
B. Because the family asked them to do it.
C. Because the trailer could no longer be repaired.
D. Because they thought it was a perfect gift for the family.
2.What can we learn from the story?
A. The family needed two parking spaces.
B. The boys of the family wanted toys and posters.
C. The family were excited about the beds and bedding.
D. The writer’s group made some furniture for the family.
3.What is the best title for this passage?
A. The Pillow B. A New House
C. The Family D. An Interesting Program

九年级英语单选题中等难度题查看答案及解析
In the west , some people believe that people’s character can be predicted according to the time of the year the person was born. From China comes the belief that the year of birth influences one’s character . In the past century, a new belief has come up, the idea that character is related to one’s ABO blood type. People with blood type A , for example, are considered more likely to be serious ,hard working and quiet, while people with blood type O are likely to be popular and out-going, yet often unable to finish what they start. Though this belief continues to be strong, some people doubt whether it is true.
The blood-type character theory(理论)started in Japan in 1927, when Furukawa Takeji noticed character similarities and differences among persons.The idea soon went out of fashion, but was brought back by a Japanese television host named Toshiitaka Nomi in the 1970s. The belief is still strong in Japan and is popular in neighboring countries. Some young Koreans have taken to the theory. A recent study showed 76 percent of Koreans aged 13 and 64 believing in the blood-type character connection.
Though most Asians might believe in it, for many it seems harmless and not something to be taken seriously. It is also possible that people are easy to change their characters to match the blood-type theory. Is the belief true? In the 1980s, the scientists in Asia largely negated the belief as a superstition(迷信). Most studies have failed to find any strong connection between blood and character. Generally, scientists are against making important decisions based on this theory.
1.What does the underlined word “predicted ” in the passage mean Chinese?
A. 预测 B. 提醒 C. 预告
2.In which country person predicted his character according to the year of his birth?
A. In western countries B. In China C. In Japan
3.According to the blood-type theory ,what is the person with blood type A like?
A. A person with blood type A can have many friends.
B. A student with blood type A may usually get good marks.
C. A person with blood type A is fond of talking with others.
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The blood-type character theory(理论)was started by a scientist named Toshiitaka Nomi.
B. After about 10 years,scientists in Asia proved the blood-type theory was wrong.
C. After some young Koreans took to the theory, 76 percent of Korean teenagers believed in it.
5.The best title for this passage should be _____.
A. Information about different blood types.
B. The connection between blood-types and characters.
C. The development of the character theory.

Unlike Chinese people, the ones in the West believe in star signs. Western world has a complete system(系统) of star signs, and they explain them and use them to tell a person’s characteristics and the things they like or dislike. There are a cycle of 12 of them in all. All of them are decided by the date instead of the year of your birth and each of them has its own characteristics.
Sagittarius (射手座) is one of them. Now, let’s take it as an example:
Sagittarius (November 23—December 21)
Sagittarius in short
Sagittarius are fun, loving, generous and very friendly. They seldom tell lies; in fact they’re so open about everything, They have surprising intuitions(直觉) that they should pay attention to. They are pretty clever because they are so interested in everything. They can be a bit rude, that’s only because they’re very honest and will say exactly what they think. They love travelling, fast cars and horse riding. They also love spending money.
More about Sagittarius
Sagittarius are great friends because they are interested in everything and everyone. They are attracted by even the strangest people. With their humour, they are often in a good mood. They can be hurtful to others because they cannot stop speaking what they see as the truth, but they don’t mean to. Money is not their God. Their values are spiritual(精神的) rather than material.
They are hard-working. They are very open-minded about new ideas and love to try ideas out. Usually it does end up working because they have an excellent intuition and can usually tell straight away if an idea is a good one or a bad one. One of their weaknesses is not asking enough money for all the hard work they do, because they love doing it.
