What do you think Americans in the early twentieth century (1900--1925) did on weekends? What do they do on weekends now?
Then
Once upon a time, people spent lots of time at home on weekends. Then new inventions changed the weekends. People used electric(电动的) streetcars to travel in cities. On weekends, they rode the streetcars to parks. Young people liked roller coasters.(过山车)The first movie lasted only one minute. Soon movies lasted longer. In the 1920s, movie theaters sold millions of tickets each week. In 1927, movies eventually(最终) had sound. Sometimes, people stayed at home instead, and listened to another new invention—radio. People in cities worked indoors during the week, so they wanted to be outdoors on weekends. Bicycling became a popular activity.
Now
With more time, money and inventions, people have many more choices.
They can visit large parks like Disney World and ride modern roller coaster that go higher and faster than ever before. They can choose from lots of different movies at a multiplex (a building with many movie theaters) or watch a video at home. Many people jog (慢跑), bicycle, work out at the gym, or play sports. Others turn on their TV and watch sports.
小题1:Before the early twentieth century, Americans used to spend their weekends       .
A.at homeB.in the theaterC.outdoorsD.in the park
小题2:What do you know about the first movie ?
A.It had no soundB.It got longerC.It sold wellD.It lasted minutes
小题3:The best title of the text is     .
A.Many More ChoicesB.The New Invention
C.The Popular ActivitiesD.The Changing Weekend

小题1:A
小题2:A
小题3:D

试题分析:短文以表格的方式,介绍了以前和现在美国人是如何度过周末的。随着时间、金钱、发明的越来越多,人们不再是宅在家,看无声电影,骑电动车玩公园了;而是逛着主题公园,在多厅影院享受着不同的电影,做着各种健身运动。
小题1:细节理解题。从短文第一句话Once upon a time, people spent lots of time at home on weekends从前,人们周末的大量时间是在家度过的,可以看出应该选A。
小题2:细节理解题。文中有这么一句话:In 1927, movies eventually(最终) had sound.在1927年,电影才最终有了声音。我们可以看出以前电影是没有声音的,所以应选A。
小题3:细节理解题。这个题目需要我们通读全篇才能正确得出结论,短文第一句话实际上就是文章的中心句。短文以表格的形式比较了美国人以前和现在度过周末的不同方式,所以应该选D。

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice       a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Certainly , sometimes we need to be alone. We don’t always want people

When I was small, my mum used to give the family something special for meals — she would make breakfast food for dinner. 
I still remember one night my mum        some bread in front of my dad, something very burnt. I waited to see if anybody noticed. To my surprise, my dad just took his       , smiled at my mum and then turned to ask me how my day at school had been. I’ve       what I told him that night.        I do remember watching him put some butter on that bread. He       as usual, every single bit. 
After dinner, my mum said        to my dad for burning the bread. And I never forget what he said, “I        burnt bread, dear. It doesn’t matter at all. ”
     , I went to kiss Dad good night.I asked him if he really liked his bread burnt. He held me in arms and      , “Your mum worked very hard all day. She's really    . And you see—a bit of burnt food never hurt anyone!”
Now I know life is not perfect.        is perfect, either. As for me, I often forget birthdays or some other special days. But I’ve learned something        over these years. What we really need is the understanding of each other, whether between a husband and wife, a parent and         or just between two friends. This is the key to a happy      .
So don’t get angry if the bread gets burnt. Remember,        bread never hurt anyone. Be kind to those around you and a happier life will surely come closer to you.
