Even though I own a home in Port St. Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Florida39。s mild winters, I willingly endure the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years. I39。m like a migratory bird that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season. So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display o163。 colors — first in the fall trees, and then in the limits around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate too, but can39。t create the special feel of a New England winter. I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I haven39。t seen in months. What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors39。 children excitedly open gifts on Christmas? Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snowcovered branch (My wife and I spend winters at a retirement munity in Ridge, and I39。m grateful that I don39。t have to shovel.） While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I e back. Who says you can39。t go home?（1）What does the underlined word snowbird in Paragraph 1 refer to? A.A person spending winter in a warmer climate.B.A bird seen chiefly in winter.C.A person permanently living in a foreign country.D.A bird flying to the south in winter.（2）What39。s the difference between Florida and Long Island?

A.To praise the beauty and warmth of his hometown.B.To describe his dream to be a free bird.C.To explain the reasons for moving from his hometown.D.To express his feeling of missing his hometown.【答案】 （1）A（2）C（3）C（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，介紹了作者自己獨(dú)特的習(xí)慣，喜歡家鄉(xiāng)寒冷的冬天，而不愿享受佛羅里達(dá)溫和的冬天；因?yàn)樽髡呦肽罴亦l(xiāng)的冬天，想念家鄉(xiāng)的景色，想念家鄉(xiāng)的親朋好友。 （1）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第一段中的“ Even though I own a home in Port St. Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south.

That statement is probably made in parison to training for work straight after school, which might not be so encouraging. But is it actually true? Jessika Golle of the University of T252。bingen, in Germany, thought she would try to find out. Her result, however, is not quite what might be expected. As she reports in Psychological Science this week, she found that those who have been to university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have spent their immediate postschool years in vocational (職業(yè)的) training for work. However, it was not the case that university broadened minds. Rather, work seemed to narrow them. Dr. Golle came to this conclusion after she and a team of colleagues stu
