As I began to feel completely sick of the cold North American winter, spring break finally arrived! What made me even more excited was that we were going to Florida to enjoy the warm weather!

Just imagine wearing T-shirts or a swimsuit under the hot Florida sun!

Before the vacation started, we had a little episode(插曲) at the airport. The alarm sounded when my host mom and me were walking through the security check. We were taken away to have further checks, but when they finally told us that we could go, we felt relieved and amused. It was just because of the decorations(裝飾品) on my pants and the tinfoil(錫紙) around my host mom’s chewing gum! —Just as a reminder, no overly fashionable pants or tinfoil on a plane!

Of course, I had a lot of first experiences during this special vacation. Since eight of us were living in a house, we had to share bedrooms, I, fortunately or unfortunately, had to share a room with my 4-year-old host sister. She is tiny compared to me, but she took up about two thirds of the bed. Moreover, because I was not used to sleeping in the same room with others, I was afraid of waking her up and hardly slept at all.

Luckily, except for that, everything went really well. My host family were really warm hearted, and they wanted me to try everything new. With their “persuasion”, I was “forced” to go kayaking(劃皮艇), which turned out to be really fun. We went through some canals and I saw manatees(海牛) and dolphins with my own eyes for the very first time!

When we finally landed in Wisconsin again, everyone looked tanned and full of energy!

1. What happened to the author and her host mom at the airport?

    A. They lost their passports.          

B. Their luggage was overweight.

    C. They quarreled with the other passengers.

    D. The decorations and tinfoil brought them trouble.

2. What does the underlined word “they” in Para 3 most probably refer to?

    A. The author and her host family people.

    B. People in charge of security at the airport.

    C. People sharing the same house with the author.

    D. The author’s host mom and the host sister.

3. We can learn from the first paragraph that the author    .

    A. hated going to Florida               B. had no sense of weather

    C. disliked the cold winter         D. didn’t like living in North America

4.From the passage, we can infer that    .

    A. the author thought little of her host family

    B. the author didn’t like her 4-year-old host sister

    C. the security check at the airport was very strict

    D. the author didn’t get along well with her host family

Recently I gave my adult students homework. It was “go to someone you love and tell them you love them.” It has to be someone you have never said those words to before or at least haven’t shared those words with for a long time.
It sounds like very tough homework since most of the men were over 35 and were raised in the generation of men that were taught expressing emotions is not “macho (陽剛之氣).” Showing feelings or crying was just not done. So this was very threatening homework for some.
At the beginning of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to share what happened when they told someone they loved them. I fully expected one of the women to volunteer, as was usually the case, but on this evening one of the men raised his hand, quite moved and a bit shaken.
As he unfolded out of his chair (all 1.85 meters of him), he began by saying, “Dennis, I was quite angry with you last week when you gave us this homework. Who were you to tell me to do something that personal?”
“But as I began driving home my conscience (良心)started telling me that I knew exactly who I needed to say ‘I love you’ to.”
“Five years ago, my father and I had a severe disagreement and really never settled it since then. We avoided seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings. But even then, we hardly spoke to each other.”
“So last Tuesday by the time I got home I had convinced myself. I was going to tell my father I loved him. It’s strange, but just making that decision seemed to lift a heavy load off my chest.”
