Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(怀旧)．It’s fun to e home.It looks the same.It smells the same.You’ll realize what’s changed is you.Home is where we can remember pain，love，and some other experiences：We parted here；My parents met here；I won three championships here.
If I close my eyes，I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home.I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glasstop wooden table.To the right of the living room is my first bedroom.It’s empty，but it’s where my earliest memories are.
There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays，and where I cried on Halloween－when I didn’t want to wear the skirt my mother made for me.I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong.If I sit at this table，I can see my favorite room in the house，my parents’ room.It is simple：a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side.Their bed is my safe zone.I can jump on it anytime－waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.
I’m lucky because I know my first home still exists.It exists in my mind and heart，on a physical property(住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles.It is proof I lived，I grew，and I learned.
Sometimes when I feel lost，I lie down and shut my eyes，and I go home.I know it’s where I’ll find my family，my dogs，and my belongings.I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I’ll be blamed by Mom.But I don’t mind，because I want to hear her say my name，which reminds me I’m home.

(答案→)B
解析：本文是一篇记叙文。全文记叙了作者对家的怀念和依恋。
【小题1】解析：选B。细节理解题。由第三段最后两句Their bed is my safe zone.I can jump on it anytime－waking...until the morning.可知，她的需要能在那儿得到满足，所以B项符合题意。A、D两项文中都没得到，而C项只是对房间摆设的介绍，而不是题干的原因，所以这三项均可排除。
【小题2】解析：选B。细节理解题。文章第一段讲到，作者回到了她的第一个家，以及倒数第二段中的．..on a physical property(住宅)on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles.可知，作者现在仍然能够参观她在洛杉矶的第一个家，故B项正确。由第二段的最后两句可知，作者的第一个卧室里面空了，所以A项错误；由第三段中的If I sit at this table，I can see my favorite room in the house，my parents’ room.可知，作者最喜欢的房间是父母的房间，而不是餐厅，故C项错误；D项文中没有提及。
【小题3】解析：选C。细节理解题。由最后一段可知，当作者感到迷茫的时候，她会躺下，闭上眼睛，然后想象着回家的情景。所以C项“尽量找回一种家的感觉”符合题意。A项只是作者想象情景中的一个片段；B项“躺在床上做一个梦”，其实作者并不是真的做梦；D项“去洛杉矶看她的妈妈”文中没有提及。
【小题4】解析：选A。推理判断题。通读全文可知作者写本文的目的是想表达自己对家的依恋之情。而B、C、D三项只是对文章内容的表述，不是写本文的目的。故选A项。
