Americans with small families own a small car or a large one. If both parents are working, they usually have two cars. When the family becomes large, one of their cars is sold and they will buy a van.
A small car can hold four persons and a large car can hold six persons but it is very crowded. A van can hold seven persons easily, so a family of three children could ask their grandparents to go on a holiday travel. They could all travel together.
Mr. Hagen and his wife had a third child last year. This made them sell a second car and buy a van. The sixth and seventh seats are used to put other things, for a family of five must carry many suitcases when they travel. When they arrive at their grandparents’ home, the suitcases are brought into the two seats. The van can then carry the grandparents.
Americans call vans motor homes. A motor home is always used for holidays. When a family are traveling to the mountains or to the seaside, they can live in their motor home for a few days or weeks. All the members of a big family can enjoy a happier life when they are traveling together. That is why motor homes have become very popular. In America there are many parks for motor homes.
1.The word “van” in this text probably means ________.
A. 住房汽车 B. 机动车辆 C. 移动家庭 D. 大型卡车
2.Before Mr. Hagen and his wife bought a van, they ________.
A. sold their old house B. sold their second car
C. moved to their grandparents’ home D. built a new place for a van
3.A motor home is usually owned by a family with ________.
A. a baby B. much money C. more than two children D. interest in vans
4.Americans usually use motor homes ________.
A. to visit their grandparents at weekends
B. to drive their children to school every day
C. to travel with all the family members for holidays
D. to do some shopping with all the family members
5.Motor homes have become popular because ________.
A. they can take people to some other cities
B. big families can take more things along
C. some people think motor homes are cheap
D. they can bring families a much happier life

It’s 8:30, time for John to start work. So he turns on his radio. Then he eats breakfast. As he eats, he reads his e-mail and reviews his to-do list. Then he sits on the sofa and thinks about an article he needs to write ... Wait a minute! Radio? Breakfast? Sofa? What kind of workplace is this? Well, actually it is John’s house, and he is a telecommuter — he works at home, communicating with the workplace through the Internet.
Like John, millions of people — and their employers — are finding that telecommuting is a great way to work. Telecommuters can work on their own schedule(预定表). They work in the comfort of homes, where they can also look after young children or elderly parents. They save time and money by not traveling to work. Their employers save, too, because they need less office space and furniture. Studies show that telecommuters change jobs less often. This saves employers even more money. Telecommuting helps society, too, by reducing pollution and traffic problems.
Jobs that are suited to telecommuting include writing, design work, computer programming and accounting. If a job is related to working with information, a telecommuter can probably do it.
1.From the passage we can learn that John does his job ___________.
A. by telephone B. in his office C. away from home D. through the Internet
2.One of the advantages of telecommuting is that you can _________.
A. get along well with other workers
B. follow your own timetable

A. they can get more work experience
