What do you think Americans in the early twentieth century (1900--1925) did on weekends? What do they do on weekends now?
Then
Once upon a time, people spent lots of time at home on weekends. Then new inventions changed the weekends. People used electric（電動(dòng)的） streetcars to travel in cities. On weekends, they rode the streetcars to parks. Young people liked roller coasters.（過(guò)山車）The first movie lasted only one minute. Soon movies lasted longer. In the 1920s, movie theaters sold millions of tickets each week. In 1927, movies eventually（最終） had sound. Sometimes, people stayed at home instead, and listened to another new invention—radio. People in cities worked indoors during the week, so they wanted to be outdoors on weekends. Bicycling became a popular activity.
Now
With more time, money and inventions, people have many more choices.
They can visit large parks like Disney World and ride modern roller coaster that go higher and faster than ever before. They can choose from lots of different movies at a multiplex (a building with many movie theaters) or watch a video at home. Many people jog （慢跑）, bicycle, work out at the gym, or play sports. Others turn on their TV and watch sports.
小題1:Before the early twentieth century, Americans used to spend their weekends       .
A．a(chǎn)t homeB．in the theaterC．outdoorsD．in the park
小題2:What do you know about the first movie ?
A．It had no soundB．It got longerC．It sold wellD．It lasted minutes
小題3:The best title of the text is     .
A．Many More ChoicesB．The New Invention
C．The Popular ActivitiesD．The Changing Weekend

小題1:A
小題2:A
小題3:D

試題分析：短文以表格的方式，介紹了以前和現(xiàn)在美國(guó)人是如何度過(guò)周末的。隨著時(shí)間、金錢(qián)、發(fā)明的越來(lái)越多，人們不再是宅在家，看無(wú)聲電影，騎電動(dòng)車玩公園了；而是逛著主題公園，在多廳影院享受著不同的電影，做著各種健身運(yùn)動(dòng)。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從短文第一句話Once upon a time, people spent lots of time at home on weekends從前，人們周末的大量時(shí)間是在家度過(guò)的，可以看出應(yīng)該選A。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文中有這么一句話：In 1927, movies eventually（最終） had sound.在1927年，電影才最終有了聲音。我們可以看出以前電影是沒(méi)有聲音的，所以應(yīng)選A。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。這個(gè)題目需要我們通讀全篇才能正確得出結(jié)論，短文第一句話實(shí)際上就是文章的中心句。短文以表格的形式比較了美國(guó)人以前和現(xiàn)在度過(guò)周末的不同方式，所以應(yīng)該選D。

When I was small, my mum used to give the family something special for meals — she would make breakfast food for dinner. 
I still remember one night my mum        some bread in front of my dad, something very burnt. I waited to see if anybody noticed. To my surprise, my dad just took his       , smiled at my mum and then turned to ask me how my day at school had been. I’ve       what I told him that night.        I do remember watching him put some butter on that bread. He       as usual, every single bit. 
After dinner, my mum said        to my dad for burning the bread. And I never forget what he said, “I        burnt bread, dear. It doesn’t matter at all. ”
     , I went to kiss Dad good night.I asked him if he really liked his bread burnt. He held me in arms and      , “Your mum worked very hard all day. She's really    . And you see—a bit of burnt food never hurt anyone!”
Now I know life is not perfect.        is perfect, either. As for me, I often forget birthdays or some other special days. But I’ve learned something        over these years. What we really need is the understanding of each other, whether between a husband and wife, a parent and         or just between two friends. This is the key to a happy      .
So don’t get angry if the bread gets burnt. Remember,        bread never hurt anyone. Be kind to those around you and a happier life will surely come closer to you.
