9．Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia（懷舊）．It's fun to come home．It looks the same．It smells the same．You'll realize what's changed is you．Home is where we ran remember pain，live，and some other experiences； We parted here； My parents met here； I won three championships here．
If I close my eyes，I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home．I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table．To the right of the living room is my first bedroom．It's empty，but it's where my earliest memories are．
There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays，and where I cried on Halloween-when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me．I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong．If I sit at this table，I can see my favorite room in the house，my parents'room．It is simple：a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side．Their bed is my safe zone．I can jump on it anytime-waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning．
I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists．It exists in my mind and heart，on a physical property（住宅） on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles．It is proof I lived，I grew and I learned．
Sometimes when I feel lost，I lie down and shut my eyes，and I go home．I know it's where I'll find my family，my dogs，and my belongings．I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom．But I don't mind，because I want to hear her say my name，which reminds me I'm home．

分析 本文屬于散文題材，表現(xiàn)了作者對家的依戀．小時候，家對于作者來說是自己快樂童年的地方，在家里，自己可以得到最大的滿足；長大之后，家已經(jīng)搬遷到了作者的心里，每當作者迷茫和疲憊的時候，總會閉上雙眼，感受和回味家的溫暖．
解答 24．B 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第三段最后兩句Their bed is my safe zone．I can jump on it anytime-waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning．可以推測出在她父母的床上，作者可以做自己喜歡的事情，因此選B．
25．B 細節(jié)理解題．從Paragraph 2 的最后一句話可以看出，my first bedroom is empty now．故A 選項錯誤．從Paragraph 3 的第三行可以看出，If I sit at this table，I can see my favorite room in the house，my parents'room．故C 選項錯誤．從Paragraph 4的第一句話可以看出，I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists．說明大多數(shù)人的第一所房子都已經(jīng)不復存在，故D 選項錯誤．而從Paragraph 4可以看出，作者在Los Angles 的家仍然幸存．根據(jù)文章第四段I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists．It exists in my mind and heart，on a physical property（住宅） on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles．It is proof I lived，I grew and I learned．可以得出作者孩提時代住的房子還在，因此選B．
26．C 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章最后一段第一句Sometimes when I feel lost，I lie down and shut my eyes，and I go home．可以得出作者不是真正的回家，而是在腦子里回味家的味道，因此選C．
27．A 寫作意圖題．根據(jù)文章第一段第一句Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia（懷舊）．以及最后一段第一句Sometimes when I feel lost，I lie down and shut my eyes，and I go home．可以推斷出作者對家很依戀．選A．
