下面的五个家庭都想租房，请根据他们的爱好和需求为他们选择合适的住房。（有一项多余）
Sam and Kelly are both very busy and they need to live somewhere close to their offices in the city. They do not have any children now, but they would like to have one in the future. Right now, they only have a dog and a cat. Kelly enjoys growing flowers.
Kate doesn’t spend much time at home. She works a lot in the city. She wants a small place downtown（市中心）. There she can get to her office easily and have meals in the nearby restaurants.
Jack and Nancy have three children. They want to live a quiet life away from the busy city. They are looking for a large building good enough for the kids to play at home.
Mr. Smith works in the countryside, but his wife and children really like city life. So they’d like a house in the center of the city but not very far from the subway station.
Mr. and Mrs. Lee think it is a better way of life to live in the countryside. There they can enjoy fresh air and clean water in a calm environment. And their son can play in the open air, with trees and grass all around. But they don’t want to walk a long way to the bus stop.

The world has many beautiful sounds. We can hear the songs of birds and the laugh of people. We can listen to the cool music and news reports. And it’s all because of our ears! They bring us a world of sounds.
But some people can’t hear any sound at all. Some are born deaf. Others can hear well in their childhood, but too many loud sounds hurt their ears later on.
Many people in China can’t hear ordinary sounds clearly. A large number of them are children. Most of them are born with good hearing. But six children of every 1,000 have hearing problems when they are born. And if a child has hearing problems, he or she usually will also have some learning problems at school.
A lot of things can cause hearing problems. For example, too much earwax is not good for our hearing. And noise louder than 85 decibels (分贝) can hurt our ears and make us lose our hearing for a short time or even for ever.
Hearing is important for all of us. So we should do our best to give our ears special care. Don’t forget to do the following:
● Try to stay away from places with too much noise. If you have to go, wear earplugs. A pair of good earplugs can cut the noise by 30 decibels.
● When swimming, remember to put earplugs into your ears to stop water from getting in.
● Never put anything sharp into your ears. If you think you have too much earwax, ask your mum or dad to help you clean it out.
Keep these things in mind! Then you won’t be saying “WHAT? WHAT?” when you are older.
What does the underlined word “earwax” mean in the passage?

A．耳膜

B．耳鸣

C．耳垢

D．耳疾

In the first paragraph, the writer wants to ___________.

A．when you get older, you know it’s not polite to ask “What?”

B．when you get older, you still have good hearing

My parents divorced when I was 8 years old. Their marriage was a mistake of World War II. And about 50 years ago, I was the only child I knew who didn't have a father at home on Father's Day. Divorce was very uncommon back then.
So when my friends were in town shopping for presents for their fathers, I decided since my mother was both Mother and Father, no one else was like her, who better deserved(be worth) a present on Father's Day than her?
I bought her a little set of tools, just a few things, hammer, pliers(钳子) and screwdriver(螺丝起子) and a box to put all these things in. I got some ideas from my grandfather and named it Mother's Tool Box. She was excited, more at the thought of being cared for on Father's Day than of the present. She always said she liked her Father's Day memories better than the Mother's Day ones. It made her feel special — and she was. I have noticed in the past few years, greeting cards are even made for "Mother on Father's Day". Ever since then, my mother has got cards on Father’s Day. By the way, she knew just how to use those tools and others she had ever used over the years.
