(A)
We had rather a small house, with only one spare bedroom. You can imagine our surprise when Aunt Clara wrote to say that she was coming to stay with her family for the weekend. Her family, I should explain, is rather big, with four boys, all under the age of 12.
I called her at once, telling her that our house must be far too small for her family. But Aunt Clara said in her sweetest voice, “I forgot to explain in my letter that the boys will be bringing some tents with them. They like to be close to nature.”

Even so, my wife was still worried. It is true that we have a large garden, but there was the problem of feeding four growing boys. “And what if it rains?” my wife said.
But Saturday morning turned out to be bright and clear when I went to the station to meet Aunt Clara. It was a great trouble to push three of the boys, together with the luggage, into the back of the car. The youngest sat in the front, with Clara and me.
My wife was waiting at the gate for us. As soon as we got out of the car, my wife said to David, the eldest boy. “I didn’t see any tents.”

(B)
Do you like to eat out? Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like inexpensive food? Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners（路边小餐馆）for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.
A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. It wasn’t really a diner. It was only a food cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to but food. These carts served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diners with counters and stools, and people sat down while they ate.
Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in a diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast
menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.
Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner.
Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonald’s and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.
6. A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. Why is diner in quotation marks（引号）?
A. Because it is spelled differently from “dinner”. B. Because the first diner was not a real diner. C. Because diner was a new word. D. Because it is a special kind of restaurant. 7. What meals did the first diners serve?
A. Only breakfast. B. Only lunch. C. Only night-meals. D. All of the above 8. According to paragraph 3, diners changed in ______.
A. two ways B. three ways C. four ways D. five ways 9. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A. Diners existed before fast-food restaurants.
B. The menu included more food than sandwiches and coffee. C. Burger King is a fast-food restaurant. D. Sandwiches became bigger.
10. The main idea of the passage is ______.
A. the diner is a traditional, popular place to eat in the United States
