My parents moved to Mississippi when my brother and I were small children, and we were separated from our Oklahoma grandparents by some 600 miles. This geographic distance allowed us to only visit our grandparents once a year, either at Christmas or during summer vacation.

Most of my classmates lived near their grandparents, and I would routinely hear stories of extended families(大家庭) regularly spending time with one another, fishing at "grandpa’s" house or going over to "grandma’s" for her famous fried chicken. We were disappointed that we did not get to spend more time with our grandparents, but our love for them remained deep and strong.

We always expected a road trip to Oklahoma. We would count the days, and when the day came, the entire family would pile into our car at four o’clock in the morning. Crossing the Mississippi River into Louisiana, the landscape(風(fēng)景) changed. Crossing the Red River in Oklahoma, we were in a foreign world.

Every trip to see my grandparents can’t be without bringing delight. We jumped out of the car in their driveway to be met with bear hugs. My grandparents wanted to know everything about their grandchildren, and we would sit for hours and tell story after story. Grandma had a meal planned, and you could bet she fixed her grandsons’ favorite foods. Of course the best part of the visit was that we were able to do whatever we wanted without punishment from our grandparents. Grandma and Grandpa always had presents for us, neat scenic trips planned and lovely surprises, such as the time we got to go to a local restaurant and eat the world’s largest hamburger.

1.The family don’t visit the grandparents often because .

A.they seldom have a vacation

B.they have a bad attitude to them

C.they are all busy with their work

D.they live far away from each other

2.When hearing his classmates’ stories, the author .

B.would call his grandparents

C.felt a bit jealous at heart

D.would feel sorry for his poor life

3.Whenever the author and his brother met their grandparents, they .

A.were full of great excitement

B.found they were in a foreign world

C.shared cooking skills with each other

D.seemed not to be familiar with each other

4.What can we infer from the author’s story?

A.Distance can’t break the bond of love.

B.Physical separation hurts the heart deeply.

C.Distance leads to the most beautiful scene.

D.Family life is filled with love and understanding.

For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school. _1.__ Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.

The disease, known as “March Madness”, refers to the yearly 65-team US men’s college basketball tournament(錦標賽). _2.__ Teams compete against each other in a single-elimination(單局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.

_3.__ The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends. Husbands against wives. Colleagues against bosses.

Big-name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little-known universities. This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little-known George Mason University was one of the final teams. __4.__

College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. _5._ About $4 billion will be spent gambling on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post-season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.

A. Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival Madness.

B. The players will go all out for the games.

C. But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.

D. College students will ignore piles of homework.

E. People are willing to spend more money on watching it.

F. It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.

G. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.
