Five years ago, my mother gave birth to a brother for me when I was 8. I have learned a lot from getting along with him.

After he was born, I almost became a babysitter. I had to amuse him after school. I would make faces and sing to him when he was crying. Sometimes I even carried him everywhere in our yard to refresh him while my parents were busy. What I liked to do best was to feed him when looking after him. How cute he was as he tasted his favorite food!My parents often praised me happily. As an elder brother, you've made contributions to looking after your younger brother. "

I have got happiness from sharing. When I was young, I was the only child in my family. I could get what I wanted from my parents and get my parents' whole love. I was a" Little Emperor".

But now, as long as I get something good, I will share it with him. I remembered the year when he was three, he was fond of Rubik cubes(魔方）I bought one for him with my lucky money as a birthday present. When he got the toy, he was so happy that he laughed, hugged me and said,

" Brother, I love you ! "

Thanks for spending these years together with my family. It has taught me what responsibility means, what unselfishness means and what friendship means. Not only should I look after myself, but also I should pay attention to my family and my friends.

A few years ago, I went to China with my parents. The five-day trip left me with a deep impression.

As the capital of China, Beijing is a very beautiful city with fresh air and clean streets which make the travelers feel very pleased. To my surprise, many people there were learning English. Later I was told that they did so because Beijing would hold the 29th Olympic Games and they wanted most foreigners to understand them. They strictly kept the traffic rules. When there was a red light, no one was seen crossing the street.

Of all the places I visited, I liked the Summer Palace best. To our surprise, although it was winter when we were there, we still saw green trees and many fresh flowers. The whole park was very beautiful.

We visited a very modern football field. We were told the buildings where the Olympic Games would be held were even better than that. I also enjoyed skiing in Xiangshan. Skiing is an interesting and exciting sport liked by many people.

In my eyes, China is a nice place and Chinese people are very kind. In Beijing Station, there were so many people, and most of them were going home to spend the Spring Festival—the most important Chinese festival, with their families. Passengers helped each other carry luggage（行李）, and they were very kind to foreigners. We were given a card by the hotel we stayed at, on which was the address of the hotel. With the card we never got lost in the city.

The five days passed quickly, but the trip left me a lot of sweet memories.

根据短文，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳答案。（10分）

1.From the passage, we know the Summer Palace ______ .

A.has flowers only in summer

B.is worth visiting all the year round

C.is a place where people visit only in summer

D.is a place where many people ski in winter

2.The writer enjoyed ______ in Xiangshan.

C.on the Mid-Autumn Day    D.before the Spring Festival

4.The foreigners were given a card each by the hotel ______.

A.so that they could easily find their hotel

B.in order to go shopping

C.so they could get something freely from the hotel
