Meeting the English Family

  Rosa and her classmates were in a street in West London. The sky was dark. This was Rosa's big day, her first day in England.

  Rosa got out of a taxi. The driver carried a very heavy bag for her. They walked through the rain to the front door of a big Victorian house.

  A small girl opened the door. She was four years old. Her brother stood behind her. He was only two years old. One minute later, a young woman came to the door.

  “Welcome to Wembley!” she said and she offered Rosa her hand.  “These are my two children, Elisabeth and Isaac” “Pleased to meet you, Mrs. Frost! said Rosa with a strong Spanish accent.

  The two children ran back into the living room.

  “Don't worry about them! They're a little shy. And please call me Diana! Now let me show you your room and then we can have a nice cup of tea. Or would you like some coffee?”

  “I'd like to try a cup of English tea, made in England.”

  “This is your bedroom. There's a nice view (視野) of the football stadium (露天體育場) and here's a little desk where you can study. The bathroom and toilet are just opposite your door. Now I'll go and put the kettle on.”

  “Excuse me. What's a kettle?”

  “In England, we use a kettle to make hot water, we can then put the hot water in a teapot or use it to make coffee.”

  Rosa was happy with her new home, but she was a little puzzled (困惑的). Perhaps her mother Maruja was right. The British were not normal people. They did not kiss when they met and they lived in large Victorian palaces. Their favourite drink was tea and they used strange metal kettles to make the water hot. What was she going to say to Elisabeth and Isaac? How could she make friends with two shy English children? Perhaps the answer was in the big, black psychology (心理學) book.

(1) It was Rosa' s big day. She and her classmates were in

[  ]

A. the west part of London
B. the middle of Spain
C. a big Victorian house
D. the living-room

(2) Rosa's hostess (女主人) was called

[  ]

B. Isaac Frost

D. Maruja Frost

(3) What could Rosa see through the window when she was in her bedroom?

[  ]

A. A garden.
B. A football stadium.
C. A desk.
D. A bathroom.

(4) In this passage the underlined (下劃線的) word “it” means

[  ]

A. a cup
B. hot water
C. a teapot
D. milk

(5) After reading the passage, we know that

[  ]

A. Rosa had some trouble in getting on well with the hostess

B. the two children didn't like Rosa

C. Mr. Frost offered Rosa much help

D. Rosa was happy with the new family, but she couldn't understand some of their customs(習俗)
