阅读理解-细节理解一1、    Jimmy Doolittle was a scientist, an airplane engineer and a general in the United States Army.    At one time, he held the record for flying faster than any other person. He was the first pilot to cross the United States in less than twenty-four hours. He was the first pilot to fly “ blind’’,using only instruments to guide his airplane.    And, when his country entered World War Two, he led one of the first successful attacks against the enemy.    Jimmy Doolittle was bom on December, 14th, 18%,in the western state of California. His family soon moved to Nome,Alaska. Jimmy was a small boy. He never grew to be very big. Yet larger boys made a mistake if they thought being small also meant being weak. Jimmy would fight if someone tried to hurt him. And he almost never lost.    As a young man he became a boxing champion. When the United States entered World War One, young Jimmy Doolittle joined the army. He also asked to be trained as a pilot. On March 18th, 1918, Jimmy passed the tests and graduated from flight school. He had hoped to go to France and fight in the war. The army, however, had him train other pilots. When the war ended, Jimmy chose to stay in the army. He thought this would give him a chance to combine his flying skills and his interest in engineering.    For most of the years between World War One and World War Two, Jimmy Doolittle was involved in the growth of the airplane industry.

My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
    I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.
    Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.
    After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.
    Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and I returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

Well, I'm happy to tell you what I know.    When I started school here, it had already been a week since the school opened. At this school, freshmen usually go on a trip for about three days at the beginning of school. Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip, which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates. I was really sad. I wished I d known about it earlier.    Despite the disappointment, however, I gradually adapted to my new life and school.    There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other. As we do not always have the same classrooms and classmates, the school wants us to get to know each other there. Students usually come to school early, sit in that space and have fun. Around the space, there are many lockers for students to leave their books in, so that students do not have to carry a heavy schoolbageverywhere.    It really surprises me that we have almost no textbooks. We only have textbooks for World History and Algebra and they are big and heavy,like bricks. For other classes,we only need binders(活页夹) with paper in them. Without textbooks, students learn things freely and actively. For example, my humanities teacher just teaches us what is in her mind at the time. We never know what we will learn.    Another difference between American schools and Chinese schools is that American schools care about students' morality more than their academic studies. For example, if you do not finish your homework, you will just be asked to do it later, but if you cheat or lie, you will get a warning or even be kicked out.    I think that most students here are good at schoolwork as well, but compared to Chinese students, they can make learning a more joyful experience. I think we should take the good points from our two different kinds of education to perfect our approach to studying.1.What was the writer sad for?
A.He was late for school.
B.He missed the trip at the beginning of school.
C.He didn’t know anyone.
D.American students looked down upon him.
2.Why do students go to the basement of the teaching building?
A.To attend class.
B.To share a classroom.
C.To have fun.
D.To meet teachers.
3.According to the passage, in American high schools, _______.
A.you are likely to be kicked out if you cheat
B.you'll be punished if you do not finish your homework
C.students are better at schoolwork than Chinese students
D.students care much about the grades they get 5、    One year ago,I paid no attention to English idioms,though my teacher emphasized(强调) their importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.    One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished.    Gently shaking his head,shrugging his shoulders,he said, “You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought perhaps this was not an appropriate topic. I’d better change the topic. So I said to him, “Well,shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way,have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent. ’’ He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide.    “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it. Soon I was interrupted again by his words “You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well,I didn’t ask you to do so,” he answered,greatly surprised. I said,“Didn’t you say ‘You don’t say! Hearing this,the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain,“‘You don’t say! ’ actually means ‘Really! ’ It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don't pay attention to English idioms. " Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.1.At first, on hearing “You don’t say!” I thought the foreigner meant __________.

That's where the similarities ended.    I was tall and she was small. I was one of the oldest in the class while she was the youngest. I was awkward(笨拙的) and shy. She wasn’t. I couldn’t stand her,considering her my enemy. But she wanted to be friends.    One day, she invited me over and I said yes —I was too shocked to say no. Actually,no one had invited me over to play before. But this girl, who wore the latest fashions, wanted to see me.    She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother, her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister. When we got to the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies—which was my next surprise. I would have thought she’d outgrown(长大而放弃)them. I had never played with them. But we sat on the floor of a walk-in cupboard laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies. That's when we found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older. We both had wild imaginations.    We had a great day that afternoon. Our jaws(下巴) ached from smiling so much. She showed me her outfits(外套), which had almost come from a designer clothing store down the block. The woman who owned it used her as a model sometimes for her newspaper ads and gave her clothes in exchange.    Paris had the whole neighborhood charmed (使入迷). The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines, the movie theater gave her free passes and the pizza place let her have free pieces. Soon I was included in her magic world. We slept over at each other's houses, and spent every free moment together. My dark hair grew out and I learned to love being tall.    Paris, my first real friend since childhood, helped me get through the tough teenage years and taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: your “worst enemy” can turn out to be your best friend.1.The writer and Paris were similar in that ________.
