Question

【題目】You may have heard of the famous saying, "East or West, home is the best.” What does the word "home" mean to you? How do you say the word in French, in Chinese, in your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation（翻譯）. It's not surprising, because the idea of home is different from country to country, and from person to person. A home is more than a roof and four walls. It's the cooking, eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.

Homes look different in different countries. They also have different things inside. For example, in cold northern Europe, there's a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it's more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows and cool stone floors.

We asked some people about their homes.

"In my country many people don't stay in one place for a very long time. They often move every ten years or so. "

1、平心靜氣審題，切忌粗心。在解答閱讀題時(shí)，千萬不要慌，要靜下心來，按照由易到難，由淺入深的思維方式，先從容易的入手，逐漸地打開思路。

2、仔細(xì)研讀語段，整體感知文章內(nèi)容。通常閱讀一篇文章，第一遍需要速讀，首先要重點(diǎn)理解文章的體裁是記敘文還是說明文。答題時(shí)切忌文章都沒完整的閱讀過，就匆匆忙忙地寫答案。最好先把文章從頭到尾通讀一遍，對(duì)文章有一個(gè)整體的認(rèn)識(shí)和理解。

3、巧妙借助"原話"，確定解題空間。在通讀全文的基礎(chǔ)上，將要回答的問題放到閱讀的文章中來，再去瀏覽所要回答的試題，經(jīng)過初步的思考，確定解決問題的閱讀空間。有些試題它要求用文中原話來回答，我們就可以用文中的原話來作答，這時(shí)就可以"從文章中直接提取信息"來回答問題。

4、合理控制答題時(shí)間，先易后難。應(yīng)瀏覽閱讀理解的全文，了解閱讀理解全文的概貌�？赐旰�，應(yīng)記住閱讀理解文章的要點(diǎn)，閱讀理解重要的結(jié)論以及閱讀理解中的一些關(guān)鍵性的人名、地點(diǎn)、定義和數(shù)字。碰到閱讀理解的難題時(shí)，千萬不要鉆牛角尖，耽誤太多時(shí)間。
