He imagined how great it would be to live there. If they could afford golden windows, then they must have other nice things.” He then promised himself “Someday I will go there and see this wonderful place.”Then one morning his father would go to the town and told him to stay at home for a rest.Knowing that this was his chance, he took a sandwich and headed across the field towards the house with golden windows.As the afternoon went on, he began to know how wrong he was. The house was much farther than he had expected. As he got to the house. he saw no golden windows but instead a place in bad need of a painting surrounded by a broken down fence. He knocked at the door. A small boy very close to his age opened the door.He asked him if he had seen the house with the golden windows. The boy said, Sure, I know.” and he was invited to sit on the porch(门廊). As he sat there, he looked back from where he just came. There he saw the sunset turned the windows of his house to gold. Now he understood that everyone had his own house with golden windows.16. During his break every morning. the small boy would A. fix the fence B. eat sandwichesC. climb up the fence D. walk around the farm17. When did the boy have a chance to see the house? A.

Nobody lived in the poor house. B. No golden windows were in the house.C. The house was as old as he expected. D. The house was the same as what he thought.BSomeone once said that only change itself never changes. That certainly seems to be the case with me.I can measure(测量)my life by the changes that have taken place, And now I am deciding on another change. We are selling our boat after fifteen years of summers on the water.We bought the boat shortly after we moved to Canadas west coast. We then joined a boating club and we enjoyed cruising among the Southern Gulf Islands, meeting friends who likes doing cruising on the sea. Skukum, as well we call the boat, has carried us safely through both smooth and very rough water. At about ten meters long it is large enough to be comfortable to live on for days at a time. Also, the scenery in our part of the world is fantastic with sea birds, dolphins and even whales.We feel it is time. however, to do something different. Admittedly, this change will be made partly because boating is an expensive hobby. Boats require a lot of maintenance(维修), use lots of gas and cost a lot even when they are sitting still(静止的). Beyond the cost is the feeling that we have done just about everything we want to do with the boat. We could continue to spend summer weekends on the water or we could make a change in our lifestyle and start doing road trips to places we havent seen across North America. As we have children and grandchildren on both the east and west coasts, driving trips will be more necessary. So its time to make a choice and, having now made it, it s time to make a change.Like most changes there will be both benefits and regrets but we feel the time has come. There is no doubt that we will miss the boat but we will also open a new door in our lives. Hopefully, we have made the right decision.19. What change did the writer decide on? A.
