课时作业 8.阅读理解AThirteen hours later we just arrived in Paris after many dramas (戏剧性事件)I rented a car, filled it up and moved ahead to Bristol airport that morning. We set off at 8：00 am. and all was going well until we got to the turn for Bristol airport. The airport sign (指示牌) suggested we went out from the M5, but Suri asked me to continue going straight ahead, so against my better judgment, I let the airport turn pass us by.Next we left for South Wales, the car was back and we had a plane to Paris to catch in a couple of hours. It was about then that I realized we were heading for Wales on a sixroad highway. I felt very bad. We turned off the highway and turned into a country road, as directed by Suri and there was a sign saying that the road to the airport was closed. I saw a lady watering her garden and asked her about the best way to the airport. She said we were at least 30 minutes from the airport, but she couldn't help us with the right directions (方向)I was so worried as we really were out in the country without any guidance. All I could think of was to turn Suri off and follow the signs myself.Then finally after many_butterflies_in_the_stomach and feeling like my heart was going to burst (爆裂) out of my chest, there was a proper green sign to the airport and we followed it with so much joy.Driving from the airport into Paris was a shock, Lots of homeless people were sleeping under the highways with rubbish everywhere.Anyway we're now in Paris. The experience of getting lost is now almost laughable. In another 24 hours will be my 50th birthday. I have a big party planned for myself in Paris.【语篇解读】本文记述了作者开车前往机场，然后飞抵巴黎途中所发生的事情。1When did the author most probably arrive in Paris?AAt about 9：00 pm. BAt about 8：00 am.CAt about 13：00 pm.

You might notice the barking only happens when the owners are at work, or during thunderstorms.After two to three weeks of observing (观察), go to your neighbors with the facts. Wait for a time when the barking is over. “Since you're trying to keep a good relationship, you can't go when you're angry and upset，” says Schweitzer. Besides, your neighbors might not even realize the barks are a problem, especially if the worst barking happens when they're not at home.Politely explain the times when the barking gets bad, and then suggest a way of solving the problem. Ask if the dog can stay inside during storms, or offer a dog training class.Making friends with the dog could help you gain some peace and quiet. If your neighbors introduce you to their dog, you should give the dog a treat. “If they become more comfortable seeing you, they're less likely to bark when they see you or when they're in the backyard，” says Schweitzer.Whatever you do, don't talk with your other neighbors about the problem or start a petition (诉状) to get the dog to quiet down. “Those make people feel angry，” says Schweitzer. “That's when things escalate.”If weeks go by and you still aren't seeing a difference, follow up with a note. Tie a dog treat on the note to build trust with your neighbors, and make a copy before dropping it off. That way, you'll have evidence (证据) that you've discussed it before and followed up politely if you need to bring in a third party, says Schweitzer.【语篇解读】本文是说明文。如果邻居家的狗总是叫个不停，影响到了你的生活，你该怎么做呢？5What should people do first according to Schweitzer?ARecord when the dog barks.BFind out why the barking happens.CFind out if the dog is really dangerous.DRecord when the neighbor is usually out.答案与解析：A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Before you take action, you should record the dates. says
