I have lived in France for nine years. but I cannot walk down the street without being recognized(認(rèn)出) as an Englishman from 50 metres away, before I open my mouth. Why?

In France, the quickest way to recognize an Englishman is that he'll be the one with the belly(肚子) and the shirt hanging out. Englishmen often wear shapeless black T-shirts, either too big or too small. However, Frenchmen are more formal(正式)in dressing. Their T-shirts have collars(領(lǐng)子). Shorts have buttons and zips rather than drawstrings . Shoes look expensive.

Englishmen think of lunchtime as1pm. but for Frenchmen it is 12 o'clock, one hour earlier. This may explain the sad looks if an Englishman arrives at a local restaurant at 1:30 pm. At that time most restaurants don't have waiters. All the cooking and serving may be done by the boss and his wife. When you arc shown to your table, just sit there and wait. Don't wave your hands to the waiters. Englishmen think guests should do something to make the waiters pay attention to them. But in France some bread and water will come first, then the waiters will take your order according to the rhythm(節(jié)奏) of the restaurant. Have enough patience!

To me, the concept(概念) of home changes along with my age all the time.

In my childhood, home was a number of calls. It seems that I had more free time than today’s children. I didn’t have to show up in front of my parents right after school, instead I would go to play with my classmates who lived in the neighborhood. We played like mad until dinner was ready and our parents called “Come back! Come home for supper!” Days passed by as I grew up in the company of those calls which are still echoing(回響) in my ears even now.

In a short while, my childhood was gone. When a thin layer of hair(胡須) began to grow around the corners of my mouth, home became a place I tried to run away from.

As I read more and more, my world opened up, larger than before me. The bed I used to sleep in became too small, and words of care from my parents began to sound meaningless. How I wished I could have a space of my own someday! Later I was joined the army and put on the green uniform. During my service days, home was the series of letters I received one after another. My most homesick moments were when I read those letters from my family.

When I got a job, I began to get “hurt”, to rise and fall in a sea of people, and to understand that you can’t share all your pains with other people, even with your best friends. So again, another wave of homesickness came over me. When I was badly hurt, I imagined myself flying home on wings. Pushing open the door, I let tears flow down my face. At that moment I felt that as large as the world was, what I needed was only the familiar smell of home and the unchanged view outside the window of my old house…

……

Although I already have much life experience behind me, I know there is still a long way ahead and my concept of home will go on developing. But already I have come to see that home is where we can find the true meaning of all the busy rush life. What makes the concept different is that sometimes it refers to a person’s home and sometimes to the home of many, many people.

1.What does the underlined word “company” mean in Chinese in Paragraph 2?

A. 公司 B. 陪伴 C. 友情 D. 氛圍

2.From the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. He misses his life in his childhood.

B. He lives a happy life when he studies at school.

C. He enjoys himself during his service days in the army.

D. He can share his feelings--happiness and sadness-- with his buddies.

3.What is the best title for the passage?

A.Missing my parents and home

B. His home he tries to run away from

C. A changing concept of home

D. A developing home
