阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

　　You may have heard of the famous saying, "East or West, home is the best．" What does the word "home" mean to you? How do you say the word in French? In Chinese? In your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation．It's not surprising, because the idea of home is different from country to country, and from person to person．A home is more than a roof and four walls．It's the cooking, eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside．And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed．

　　Homes look different in different countries．They also have different things inside．For example, in cold northern Europe, there's a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it．In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it's more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows and cool stone floors．

　　We asked some people about their homes．

　　How often do people move house in your country''．

　　"In my country many people don't stay in one place for a very long lime．They

　　often move every ten years or so．"

　　－Chery, Boston, USA．

　　What are features(特征)of homes in your country?

　　"In Britain, even in town, there's always a garden．We have separate bedrooms and living rooms．But we don't often have balconies(阳台)．The weather isn't warm enough! "

　　－Pat．Exeter, England

阅读下列短文，从所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

　　Happiness is for everyone．You don't need to care about the rich．Though they have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools, they may often feel lonely．

　　In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it．When you are in trouble at school, your teachers will help you; when you do something wrong, people around you feel unhappy; when you succeed in something, your friends will say congratulations to you．All these are your happiness．If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you．

　　Happiness is not the same as money．It is a feeling of your heart．Although you are poor, you can also say you are very happy．Money is not everything．You have something else that money can't buy．When you meet with difficulties, you can loudly say you are very happy because you have more chances to challenge yourself．So you can not always say you are poor and you have bad luck．If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person．
