【4】 If you rid(去除）your home of useless things, you might find you don't need so much space. I'm not saying you should live on a boat, but if you can be comfortable in a smaller home, it will not only be less expensive, but easier to maintain(維護(hù)),and greatly simplify your life.

【解析】

本文主要講述過簡單的生活的方法。

【1】句意：你怎樣度過你的一天？

根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容可知，本段建議列一個清單，看從你醒來到入睡，你做了什么？并評估它們是否有必要。如果不是，把老婦人放在一邊，專注于重要的事情。所以此處內(nèi)容與每天做的事情相關(guān)。結(jié)合選項，故選B。

【2】句意：如果你不去管它們，它們會占用你一整天的時間。

根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容可知，如今我們的生活充滿了各種交流方式——電子郵件、手機、紙質(zhì)郵件等等。建議我們限制自己的交流，只在一天的特定時間處理郵件。否則這些事情會占用一整天的時間。結(jié)合選項，故選D。

【3】句意：如果我沒有孩子，我會這么做。

根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容可知，本段建議試著過沒有車的生活，步行、騎自行車或乘坐公共交通工具。根據(jù)“OK, this isn't something I've done, but many others have.”可知，作者不能這么做，結(jié)合選項，推測可能是因為作者有孩子，沒有車不方便。結(jié)合選項，故選C。

【4】句意：考慮一個小一點的房子。

根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容可知，本段建議如果你可以舒服的在一個小的家庭，它不僅便宜而且易于維護(hù)，并極大地簡化你的生活。結(jié)合選項，故選E。

【題目】Read the passage and fill in the blanks with suitable words（在短文的空格內(nèi)填入適當(dāng)?shù)脑~，使其內(nèi)容通順。每空格限填一詞首字母已給）

Each Indian tribe（部落） had different language. Many Indians never learned any language e【1】 their own. Do you know how Indians from different tribes talked to each other？They had two ways to talk without sound. One way was by sign language; the other was by signals.

Sign language is way talking by signs. Indians used it when they met strangers. In this way, they could find out w【2】 the stranger was a friend or an enemy. Indians usually used signals when they wanted to send messages to someone far away. To make signals, an Indian might use a pony（小馬）. He might use a blanket. Or he might use smoke, a mirror or fire arrows.

To signal that he had seen many animals, an Indian r【3】 his pony in a large circle. Sometimes the Indian gave a signal like this and then went away to hide. This meant that there was danger.

The blanket signal was visible from far away. An Indian held two c【4】 of a blanket in his hands. Then he began to swing the blanket from side to side in front of him. An Indian could send many different signals with his blanket.

He could also send many signals with a mirror to w【5】 someone of danger or to get the attention of a person far away. But he also used it to send message in code. Of course, mirrors could be used o【6】 when the sun was shining. At night, Indians use fire arrows for signaling.

An Indian also sent signals with smoke. He made a small fire of dry wood. Then he put grass or green branches on it. He held a blanket over the fire for a minute. When her r【7】 the blanket from the fire, there was a cloud of smoke. The number of clouds of smoke told his message in code.

Now you can see that Indians didn’t need to learn each other’s language. They could talk to one another by using signals or sign language.
