Maureen and her husband Michael were moved to Paramount flight just before they left Portugal.But they were not told of the company’s no smoking policy.

The first visit to a foreign country that I can remember was when I was about seven years old. We live about 5 miles away from the Canadian border(邊界). My family and I went to Parc Safari, Quebec, a wonderful place that has animals and rides. We drove down a nice long road. My sister and I sat in the back of the car, and it was a hatchback(有倉(cāng)門式后背的汽車) so we opened it up. I remember feeding the animals snacks we had bought for ourselves.

The time we went we were told there would not be monkeys because they had escaped and had not been found. I remember thinking to myself, how cool it would be to see a monkey in our backyard.

Even though the monkeys were not there it was still so much fun. When we reached the area that had camels, giraffes and other animals, I remember one of the camels reached into the car to get our snacks. However, we were a little gross out because the camels seemed to froth(吐白沫) at the mouth and we had camel slobber(口水) all over the car and us.

It was one of the best family vacations that I can remember. It was not too far from home, it was in a different country and it was with my family. I cannot remember if we went on the rides or not but seeing many animals was a great time. Now I am grown up and have a son, and I am planning to go there again. He is 7 years old and I think he is at a great age to enjoy a trip like this. I am sure it has changed a lot over the years but it will still be a great family trip.

1.Where did the author live when he was 7 years old?

A.In Canada                             B.Near the Canadian border

C.In the central US                        D.In Parc Safari

2. We fed the animals something _____.

A.offered by people living there

B.we bought for them

C.we prepared for ourselves

D.cooked by my sister

3.what does the underlined part “gross out” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A.surprised                             B.excited

C.tired                                 D.uncomfortable

4. What does the author intend to do?

A.To revisit the place he went to at seven.

B.To take his 7-year-old son to a zoo.

C.To have a family trip in his own country.

D.To have a holiday abroad with his parents.
