“Before I came here,” one child said, “I thought swimming was running through an open fire hydrant(消防龍頭).”

“Here” is a summer camp that’s only an hour from New York City—but a world away. This camp is run by the Fresh Air Fund(基金會). Since 1877, the fund has helped poor children from New York City spend summers in the country. Each year, over one thousand children, age 6—18,take part in the program. Some stay at the camp; others live with host families. The fund pays all money.

The camp is for 8 to 15-year-olds. At camp, children can learn about the stars, see deer and cows and other animals, and go hiking, fishing, and of course swimming. The children learn responsibility(責(zé)任) by helping out with chores like making beds and waiting on tables. They also learn a lot from teachers, who are often college students from around the United States and from other countries.

Host families from thirteen states and Canada offer to have children spend the summer with them. Many of these families have their own children. The visiting children become part of the family. They go with the family on picnics, to the pool or beach, and on trips. The children are from 6 to 12 years old when they make their first visit, and most are invited back. Some of the children and families become friends for life.

1. We can see from the passage that the summer camp ________.

A. is in the city of New York

B. makes lots of money each year

C. doesn’t have any teachers

D. can help children learn a lot

2.The last paragraph(段落) mainly tells us ________.

A. where the host families are from

B. how children get on with host families

C. what children do with host families

D. why host families invite children back

3.The purpose of this passage is to _______.

A. introduce the summer camp to people

B. get people interested in the Fresh Air Fund

C. encourage people to visit poor children

D. find host families for the summer camp

I was 10 the year my cousin Marley’s parents gave her a painful Christmas surprise: they were getting a divorce(離婚). My aunt went to California, but my uncle decided to get her back. There was one matter: where to put his young daughter. Luckily, my mother loved Marley, giving her more attention than her family ever did.
