Ⅰ.阅读理解

(2017·北京东城区期末)

I left home to support my sister in her efforts to present a music festival.She lives on the other side of the world，and I went to visit her，not wanting to leave and feeling like I was leaving home against my will.However，I wanted to show her my support because she is my only sister.

So I boarded the plane in mid-August，and hated the long flight.I arrived，tired and hungry.I had left my husband for 2 years，alone，in our old New Orleans house.

I was all set and ready to perform for my sister for the music festival on Sunday morning when I received a call from Chicago.The hurricane was predicted to hit our city，and many people had already evacuated，but my husband chose to stay behind.He could not get a call to me on the other side of the world，but he could call his cousin in Chicago.He gave his cousin a message for me，that he would be just fine，and not to worry.

As the day wore on，I finally took the stage in front of hundreds of Europeans，and I realized，thanks to CNN，that New Orleans was under water.

I performed，hoping that my husband would survive.And I performed perfectly.The audience stood and applauded.I left the stage and went straight to the TV.I saw the street sign near my home，of Humanity Street，but nothing below it，except water.

In the days that followed，I found out that my house，my car，my clothes，my furniture，everything that I’d left behind was gone...but not my husband.He survived by riding on the rear bumper(后保险杠)of a VW bus，holding on to the overhead luggage rack，in the pouring rain，down the highway from New Orleans，half-way to Baton Rouge.The rest of the journey was a long walk，but he survived.

By the first week of September，I flew back to the Baton Rouge airport，and hugged my husband.Since then，our relationship has grown deeper；we have completely rebuilt our house，bought a new car，bought new furniture and new clothes and joined an inspirational，spirit-filled community.

The concept of a working holiday is fairly simple.It is a vacation which normally lasts for

B.Struggled. D.Hid. B.Worried. D.Unwilling.

several weeks or even months，during which you divide your time between work and recreation.The typical working holiday includes some manual labor and sightseeing.You can usually get room and board in exchange for a few hours of work.For instance，Australia and New Zealand encourage working holidays by offering one-year visas to people between the ages of 18 and 30.Countries all over the world offer the chances to work or volunteer and live in a new environment.All you need is a return ticket and enough cash to live on.

While some people choose to work in restaurants or hotels，others may do fruit picking which is perhaps the most popular type of work.Be prepared for long working days in the orchard，which may last up to ten hours a day.If you are not ready for this，a more leisurely job with shorter hours is possible，but you will not make as much money.Another option is volunteering in foreign countries.For example，you can work with disabled children in Bolivia and practice your Spanish，research dolphins and whales in Italy，or build schools in rural towns in Ghana.

A working holiday is a great way to broaden your horizons since it gives you the chance to explore a country，practice a new language，and meet people from all over the world.These kinds of adventures sometimes have a really big impact on those who have experienced a working holiday.They often say that it was one of the best memories of their lives.Be aware! Even though some working vacation programs pay，not all of them do sometimes you end up paying to go on working vacation.However，a working holiday can get you off the beaten track and into spots the average tour bus would never go near.
