Shared life has become part of the lives of the old people in some communities（社区）in Beijing in recent years.

“The shared kitchen appeared in the community service center for the old in Shunyi several years ago,” said Zhang Mei, a young woman heading a volunteer group.

She set up the kitchen after she and her workmates found that the old people were sometimes hungry when they came to the service center to have a rest or take part in some activities.

Each person can bring his or her own cooking tools, fresh and tasty ingredients and good recipes（食谱）to the kitchen. It is open from 7：30a.m. to 5：30 p.m.

“I brought my oven and noodle press（压面机）to the kitchen for two reasons. Firstly, I have some more at home, and I don’t want to leave them unused. Secondly, these can make our cooking much easier. At times, we make biscuits and they turn out to be very tasty,” said 64-year-old Guo Qiuling.

Mrs. Wang, a 70-year-old woman, has a special deep feeling for the kitchen. In her eyes, it is more than a place where she can have something to eat. “Last year, my husband died. That made me feel sad and lonely for a long time. I’m glad to have such a place to allow me to communicate with others,” said Wang.

The kitchen is to improve the communication among the old and help them lead a happier life.

11．Zhang Mei set up the shared kitchen probably because ________.

A．she often felt hungry when she worked B．she wanted to do something for the old

C．she hoped to make herself famous D．she was interested in cooking

12．What does the underlined word “ingredients” mean?

A．原料 B．收藏 C．电器 D．气味

13．What can we learn from Guo Qiuling’s words?

A．She wasn’t good at making biscuits. B．She wanted to live in the shared kitchen.

C．She lived a richer life than other old people. D．Her cooking tools gave the old people much help.

14．Why did the writer write about Mrs. Wang?

A．To introduce a poor woman to us. B．To explain why she lived a lonely life.

C．To show the shared kitchen means a lot to her. D．To advise us to go to the shared kitchen to talk with her.

15．What’s the best title for this passage?

七、阅读回答问题

Have you ever heard the saying " There is no place like home! " This is just another way of saying that home is a very special place. Our bedroom, our family, our pets, and all of the things we love are at home.

Is home a place where you can relax and have fun? Is home a place where you get all of your best thinking done? Being at home means different things to different people. As people grow older, home usually represents more responsibility (责任) because it needs care inside and out. Who takes care of all of these things in your home? How do you help out?

There are many different kinds of homes. Some people live in apartments, condos, or single-family homes. Homes have different rooms that are used for different purpose. The kitchen, the bedrooms, the living room and the bathroom each have their own use. Suppose your house does not have a roof and you are a bird flying over it, what does your house look like? Think about it.

Some people might say that family and food are two of the best parts of being home. At home, you can tell your parents about your day, play with your pets, and grab a snack from the cupboard of fridge. You can relax in your room and read a book or play a game. You can ask friends over to play. Home is a place to take care of and be grateful for. Even though you are young, you can help to make a nice place to be. After all, home is where the heart is!

Great changes in my hometown

In the past, my hometown was very small. People lived a poor life. The houses were old and small. Pollution was very serious, and there was rubbish everywhere. The traffic was not convenient, so few visitors came here.

Now great changes have taken place in my hometown. The environment has become more beautiful. The mountains have turned greener, the rivers clearer and the sky bluer. There are trees, flowers and grass everywhere. People live a better life. Their houses are large and bright. Many people have their own cars. Every year, thousands of people come to visit our city.

I’m sure my hometown will become better and better in the future.
