课时作业(九)　UNIT 3　THE INTERNET [对应学生用书P443] 一、阅读理解 (2021·全国甲卷)When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning． Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me． Without my beloved beaches and endless blue­sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place． Until I made a discovery. Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing．I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language． And my favorite: Safe． Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don't worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe． A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “Safe!_Safe!_Safe！” And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater. When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming． Within a couple of years, I'd given it up. When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there． I've traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring． The day was cold but clear; tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭) among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail­thin teenager, in a baggy white T­shirt, skidded(滑) up to the beam. He sat next to me． He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago，” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head． “Safe, man. Safe．” “Yeah，” I said． “Safe．” [语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了作者自己的经历，起初搬到伦敦很不适应，后来找到了玩滑板的地方，结识了玩滑板的朋友。再后来，作者搬到华盛顿，但因当地人不太热情，作者放弃了玩滑板。20年后，作者回到伦敦之后，去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆，在与一个玩滑板的孩子打招呼的时候，终于找到了自己久违的熟悉感。 1．What can we learn about
