When I was in Grade Seven, I got into a fight with a boy in my class. When we saw our teacher, I said "I was right and he was wrong" and he was sure "I was right and he was wrong". The teacher decided to teach us a very important lesson.
She brought us up to a desk, placed him on one side of the desk and me on the other. In the middle of the desk was a large, round ball. I could clearly see that it was black. She asked the boy what color the ball was. "White," he answered loudly.
I couldn't believe his words! We had a fight again, this time about the color of the ball.
The teacher told us to go to the different places. I stood where the boy was standing and the boy came to my place. And this time we found different colors. I had to say "It's white now."
It was a ball with two differently colored sides. One was black and the other was white. From the boy's viewpoint(视角) it was white. Only from my side it was black.

Imagine you are living in a moving house. Inside the house, there is a kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom. Although they are much smaller than those at your home, they are easy for you to use.
Nowadays you can see these moving houses on the road in China. They are called recreational vehicles (RVs). People call them "houses on roads". When it's holiday time, the whole family will get into the small home and hit the road for a trip across the country.
Compared to a real house, this "home" on the road is useful for a family. The best thing is that you can do everything you like freely. You can drive as long as you like without worrying about finding hotels and restaurants. Or you can just stop somewhere nice and stay for a few weeks. You may also meet other families that are on road trips. Together, you put up your tents. It's camping time with lots of talk and laughter.
However, RVs are not always convenient(方便的). They can sometimes break down and don't work. You have to spend time fixing them. But many people still like this kind of vehicle because they can go anywhere they want whenever they want.
23. What is special in the RVs
A. The rooms are as big as those at home.
B. The rooms are a lot smaller than those at home.
C. The rooms are much nicer than those at home.
D. The rooms are a little cheaper than those at home.
24. Why do people call the RVs "houses on roads"
A. Because people can live in the RVs when they travel.
B. Because people can fix the RVs by themselves when they travel.
C. Because people can drive the RVs easily when they travel.
D. Because people can see the RVs in the streets when they travel.
25. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about
A. The RVs can help people make more friends.
B. The RVs can help people find the hotels.
C. The RVs can help people travel freely.
D. The RVs can help people to cook food.
26. Who will probably buy an RV according to the passage
A. Mr. Wang, a man who likes staying at home.
B. Mr. Li, a man who likes seeing films in the cinema.
C. Mr. Zhang, a man who likes talking with friends.
D. Mr. He, a man who likes traveling with his family.

Dear Worried,
I'm sorry to know you have problems about the coming winter vacation. I'm glad to help you. Here are some ideas for you.
We know there are many educational activities during the vacation. I think reading is the most educational. If you spend more time reading different kinds of books, you'll know more about the world and you'll become an excellent person. In the cold vacation, why not go outside instead of staying at home You could play sports with your friends or visit museums with your family. If you do, I believe all of you will have a wonderful time.
I hope my ideas are useful for you. I wish you a great winter vacation!
Mr. Li
