Americans like to travel on their yearly holiday. Today, more and more travelers in the United States are spending nights at small house or inns(客栈)instead of hotels. They get a room for the night and the breakfast the next morning.
Rooms for the night in private(私人的)homes with breakfast have been popular with travelers in Europe for many years. In the past five to ten years, these bed-and-breakfast places have become popular in the United States. Many of these America’s
bed-and-breakfast inns have only a few rooms; others are much larger. Some inns do not provide telephones or televisions in the rooms, others do.
Staying at a bed-and-breakfast inn is much different from staying at a hotel. Usually the cost is much less. Staying at an inn is almost like visiting someone’s home.

Most of the flowers in nature are red, orange and yellow. If we have seen a black flower, it’s a chance in million. People have made a census ( 普查 ) to colors of more than four
thousand kinds of flowers and discovered that only eight of them are black. As we know, sunlight is formed by seven different colored lights. The wave length of each light is different, so the quantity of heat in each light is also different. Flowers, especially their petals ( 花瓣), are easy to be harmed by high temperature. Black flowers can take in all the light waves which cause the flowers to dry up in a high temperature. So black flowers can rarely survive sunlight. But red flowers, orange flowers and yellow flowers can protect themselves from sunlight by reflecting the red light, orange light and yellow light, each of which has a large quantity of heat.
4. It is _________ to see a black flower.
A. impossible B. seldom C. common D. no chance 5. The passage tells us that ________.
A. black flowers are so weak that it is difficult for them to grow up. B. there is only eight black flowers in nature.
C. sunlight is formed by seven different colored lights, so the wave length of each light is different.
D. black flowers can take in the light of all the wave lengths which make them dry up because of high temperature.
6. Which of the following ideas is NOT true?
A. People have found that only a few kinds of flowers are black. B. Flowers are easy to be harmed by very high temperature.
C. Red, orange and yellow flowers can also absorb the light of all wave lengths. D. The black flowers cannot protect themselves from sunlight 六.微写作（12分）
