   Our first winter in Canada was the happiest we have ever experienced. We were living in the countryside then and had just arrived from Hong Kong that autumn. One evening in mid December snow began to fall. When we looked out of the window and saw that it was snowing, we all cheered. It was the first snow we had ever seen and we were excited. We could hardly wait for the snow to stop so that we could go out to play. Next morning when we woke up, it was still snowing. We turned on the radio and learned that more than ten inches of snow had fallen during the night and that since the roads were blocked there would be no school that day. We jumped up and down for joy and begged mother to let us go outside to play in the snow. She said we could go out after breakfast and promised to come back as soon as we felt cold. When we went out, the snow had almost stopped. The roads, paths, gardens, and playing grounds were all hidden under a white blanket of soft snow. It was the most beautiful scene we had ever seen. Just then, we saw some neighbours' children coming out to play. We ran over to join them. Together we built a snowman and a snow house. After that, we took turns sliding down a hill on a large piece of card-board (厚纸板). We were having so much fun when supper time came. Mother almost had to force us go in and eat.

   Two boys, both of the same weight, sit on each side of a see-saw (跷跷板). How far must they be from the centre in order to keep the see-saw balanced(平衡的)?

The bus had been ordered to arrive at the rest-house at seven thirty, and by eight thirty we thought we should be well on the road. It was clear that we were new to Africa. At ten o'clock we were pacing (漫步) round and round our mountain of luggage at the gate of the rest-house. At eleven o'clock a cloud of dust appeared in the distance and in the middle of it was the bus. Then it stopped in front of us. I noticed that there had been twelve passengers sitting in the back of the bus, talking to each other with their goats and chickens. They enjoyed their travel. I went to have a talk with the driver, and it was then that I learned that it was better not to ask why a bus was late: I was treated to at least six different reasons, none of which satisfied anyone except the driver. Wisely leaving this subject, I turned my attention to the crowd in the back of the bus. I was told that this was the driver's wife, this was the sister of the driver's wife, this was the father of the conductor, and so on. Then our luggage was loaded quickly and carelessly, which was frightening me, and, as I watched, I wondered how much of our equipment would be left undamaged.

    A. Because he was too tired.

B. Because he had much luggage.

C. Because he dared not make the driver angry.

    D. Because he was much more interested in the crowd.
