About a year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me. I never heard any noise from the children, but the parents were always yelling at them.
We often met. I always spoke, but the only answer I ever got was a hello from a four-year-old girl. One day when I returned, they were just coming back to their apartment and the little girl was holding the door in the hall open for the others. I remained in the car doing unnecessary things. The parents were telling her to hurry. I looked up and saw the little girl was still holding the door open, waiting for me. I hurried as much as I could and thanked her. She was smiling from ear to ear.
That afternoon I was at the K-Mart and saw a white teddy bear. I thought of the little girl and said to myself, “I bet she would like it.” So I bought it for her.
The next day there was a knock on the door and it was the little girl and her father. She was so proud of her bear and thanked me. Then I noticed her mother and the other children were there in the hall, too.
Now when we meet in the hall, we all speak in a friendly manner. Last night we had about four inches of snow. The temperature was below zero. When I opened the outside door, there was my car with all the snow removed. The man next door was the only person I knew in the whole building, so when I saw him the next day, I asked him if he was the nice person that removed the snow. He said NO. He wanted to, but his wife said she wanted to do it.
Isn’t it amazing that the small kind act of a four-year-old girl can change so many things for the better?
1.Why did the author do unnecessary things in his car?
A. His neighbor yelled at him.
B. He did not know how to kill time.
C. The weather was cold outside.
D. He did not wanted to be embarrassed.
2.The underline word “yelling” in the passage probably means _____________.
A. knocking B. shouting
C. beating D. laughing
3.What the four-year-old girl did made the author feel _____________.
A. warm B. sad
C. upset D. angry
4.The passage mainly tells us__________.?
A. Children should be polite to their neighbors.
B. People should be kind and communicate with each other.
C. Your neighbors are not as bad as you think.
D. Things can be changed by removing snow.

About a year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to mine. I never heard any noise from the children, but the parents were always shouting at the kids.
We often met in the hallway when we were coming or going. I always spoke, but the only answer I got was a hello from the four-year-old girl.
One afternoon when I returned, they were just coming out of their apartment and the little girl was holding the door open for the others. I remained in the car doing unnecessary things. But when I looked up I saw the little girl was still holding the door open, waiting for me. I hurried as much as I could and thanked her.

Now when we meet in the hall, we all speak in a friendly manner. As time passes, I don’t hear that yelling as often as before.

I have learned something about myself since I moved from Long Island to Florida three years ago. Even though I own a home in Port St. Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Florida’s mild winters, I willingly endure the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years.
I’m like a migratory bird (候鸟) that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season.
So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display of colors -- first in the fall trees, and then in the lights around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate too, but can’t create the special feel of a New England winter.
I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I haven’t seen in months. What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors children excitedly open gifts on Christmas? Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snow-covered branch. (My wife and I spend winters at a retirement community in Ridge, and I’m grateful that I don’t have to shovel.)
While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I come back. Who says you can’t go home?
1.What does the underlined word “reluctance” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Coincidence. B.Expectation. C.Unwillingness. D.Motivation.
2.Which of the following words can best describe the author?
A.Imaginative and outspoken. B.Hard-working and serious.
C.Homesick and easy-going. D.Anxious and painful.
3.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To describe his dream to be a free bird.
B.To explain the reasons for moving from his hometown.
C.To praise the beauty and warmth of his hometown.
D.To express his feeling of missing his hometown.
