Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

Radha is a little sweet girl，who is 7 years old.Radha is a bit curious about everyone and everything she sees or hears.

One morning，she told her mother that she wanted a new friend for herself.On hearing that，her mother said，“Dear，you already have so many friends.” But Radha exclaimed，“Oh，Mum，these friends you are talking about go to their house as the sun sets.I want a friend who stays with me.”

The next morning Radha's mother got a mango (芒果) plant from the market and called Radha.Radha saw her mother within the front yard with the mango plant.She curiously asked，“Mum，what are you doing with the mango plant？” Her mother told Radha that she was making space for the new friend of Radha.Radha didn't understand what her mother wanted to say.

Observing Radha's confused expression，her mother said，“My dear，you want a friend with whom you can stay all the time，but your friends also have a mother who would worry about them.So I have brought this mango plant.”

Radha understood what her mother's point was，but she didn't understand the role of the mango plant.She questioned，“Mum，I understand but then again why do you have a mango plant？”

Her mother replied，“Dear，this plant will be always with you as your friend.He will grow up beside you.Share your thoughts and secrets with him.Water him.This friend will not only provide you with shade but will give you fruits.”

Radha happily watered the mango plant and promised to cherish (爱护) it.This was Radha's new friend...

Well now you can discover the answer to all these questions and many more at the Fame Hotel in California.Ten miles outside Los Angeles，the Fame Hotel promises to answer the question “What if？”．When you check into the hotel，you choose a room.Each room has a name.There's Clint Eastwood on the second floor and Elvis Presley on the third floor.In total，the Fame Hotel has 32 rooms，most of which are named after stars of Hollywood or music.But there are also famous writers and even some scientists and sports stars，such as Mike Tyson.

When you enter the room，you enter the life of that person.There are pictures everywhere.The owner of the hotel has tried to fill the room with objects，clothes，even food that he thinks the star would have liked.Marilyn Monroe's wardrobe is full of beautiful white dresses.Albert Einstein doesn't have any socks in his wardrobe because the real Einstein never wore them! If you choose Mike Tyson's room，you'll be able to practice boxing (拳击) in one corner of the room.And there's even a skipping rope，too!

I spoke to one guest staying in the Elvis Presley room.“I love this hotel，” he said to me.“I wanted to know ‘What would Elvis Presley eat for breakfast？’and now I know.” That guest eats pancakes and strawberry ice cream every morning，just as Elvis liked to do.At the next table，the Einstein room's guest is eating cabbage soup!
