Look how tall you’re getting!” But my grandfather would always tell me，“Stand straight and tall.” Later I understood his advice was about more than just height. ［2］My grandfather grew up in war-torn Europe.When German soldiers occupied his hometown，the beautiful city of Tarnow，Poland，he fought for his country’s freedom.“Stand straight，stand tall,” meant something else back then. ［3］After die war，he boarded a boat for America，arriving in Manhattan.All alone in a new country，he was frightened about his future.Still，he marched head-on into the streets of New York.Soon he met other European immigrants，each of them trying to find his or her own way.If they could do it，why couldn’t he? “Stand straight，stand tall,” he would remind himself. ［4］ the help of a loyal and trusting friend，my grandfather acquired a jewelry stand on Canal Street.He once told me how nervous he was on that first day of work.He was not only trying to learn this tough new business，but also a new language. ［5］To his surprise，the men in the neighboring stands—who could have taken advantage of him—offered their help and advice.Within months，my grandfather was commanding his spot behind the counter，selling diamonds and all kinds of cultured pearls as if he’d been doing it his whole life. ［6］I trusted my grandfather more than anyone else in my childhood.And whenever I was afraid of something，he would tell me stories of his life.My grandfather’s remarkable experiences have changed the way I view my own life.His advice tells me to be proud of who I am. 1.What’s the trouble of the author as a child? （no more than 8 words） 2.What does the word “them” （Line 6，Paragraph 3） probably refer to? （no more than 3 words） 3.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with proper words.（no more than 5 words） 4.How did the men around the grandfather treat him at the beginning of his business? （no more than 8 words） 5.What did the author learn from her grandfather? （no more than 15 words） 答案： 1.She was afraid of/worried about her height.

Passage 2 ［1］Finnish people can now go to a Naphouse，a place where visitors can enjoy a free afternoon sleep.This idea is new for the Finnish people since they are not used to taking a rest in the middle of the day.Naphouse is one of the newest ideas in the world of comfort.It has been invented in Finland by a civil society organization that calls for a lifestyle based on comfort. ［2］Frenchman Jeremy Mast is behind the project.“We managed to rent this place very cheaply and we actually built it from recycled material and donations.We have been putting a list of the things we need and people have been giving us lots of things.We have been working with a second-hand shop.They allowed us to take things from them，so somehow we have managed to get lots of things for free.” He said. ［3］Shirts，on which Jeremy’s name is written，are sold in the shop and they are considered a good source for income for the place in order to buy furniture.After taking a nap，visitors can write their dreams down in the book of dreams.The project founders say they will publish the book someday. ［4］Studies show that napping ， such as improving performance，and reducing mistakes and accidents.A study at NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) on sleepy military pilots and astronauts found that a 40-minute nap improved performance by 34 percent and alertness by 100 percent. ［5］However，napping is not considered to be a big part of everyday Finnish culture. 1.What is the main idea of the passage? (no more than 5 words) 2.According to the passage，who started the Naphouse? (no more than 3 words) 3.What does the underlined word “it” (Para.2) probably refer to?
