Have you ever heard the saying (谚语)—“Home, sweet home”? This is just another way of saying that it's nice to be home! In fact, a lot of people and things we love are at home.

What do you like about being at home?

Maybe you like to play with your brothers and sisters. Maybe you enjoy staying with your mum and dad. Maybe you have a pet you like to play with. Spending time with your family is one example that makes being at home special.

Your bedroom is another example that makes home special. Your toys, your books, and your favourite things are in your bedroom. Think what you like best about your bedroom. Is it how it looks? Is it your comfortable bed that you sleep on? Maybe you like to have a quiet place to read a book or to think about your day.

Dinnertime can also be a special time at home. Families sit around the table to eat the food that Mum or Dad has prepared. It's a time to share interesting stories about your day.

二、阅读理解，阅读下面短文，从每题所给的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 meaning. 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 (屋顶) 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 (欧洲), 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 time. They often move every ten years or so.”                                                —Cherry, Boston, the USA

What are features of homes in your country?

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

—Pat. Exeter, England

A. Because they need fresh air outside.          B. Because there's a fire in the living room.
