閱讀理解（共 4 小題；每小題 5 分，滿分 20 分）

• 1．With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation，more families are choosing to live together.
     The doorway to peace and quiet，for Nick Bright at least，leads straight to his mother-in-law：she lives on the ground floor，while he lives upstairs with his wife and their two daughters.
     Four years ago they all moved into a three-storey Victorian house in Bristol - one of a growing number of multigenerational families in the UK living together under the same roof.They share a front door and a washing machine，but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen，bathroom，bedroom and living room on the ground floor.
     "We floated the idea to my mum of sharing a house，" says Kathryn Whitehead.Rita cuts in："We spoke more with Nick because I think it's a big thing for Nick to live with his mother-in-law."
     And what does Nick think？ "From my standpoint，it all seems to work very well.Would I recommend it？Yes，I think I would."
     It's hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him，but research indicates that the numbers have been rising for some time.Official reports suggest that the number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325，000 in 2001 to 419，000 in 2013.
     Other varieties of multigenerational family are more common.Some people live with their elderly parents；many more adult children are returning to the family home，if they ever left.It is said that about 20% of 25-34-year-olds live with their parents，compared with 16% in 1991.The total number of all multigenerational households in Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million.
     Stories like that are more common in parts of the world where multigenerational living is more firmly rooted.In India，particularly outside cities，young women are expected to move in with their husband's family when they get married.

      Peter woke up early in the morning.He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
      "Why are you in such a hurry，early bird？" Mum asked him. "We will have an English spelling test today，Mum，" Peter said. "Mr.White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores.I've been studying the word list since last week.Although the words are difficult，I am well prepared for them."
      Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school.At last，it was time for the students to have a test. "Responsibility，" Mr.White started.Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
      "The second word：contribution，" Mr.White said.
      "So easy，" Peter thought .He quickly wrote the word down.
      Thirty words later，the test papers were collected by Mr.White. "I am to mark your papers now，" he told the class.After marking the test papers，Mr.White said，"three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores.Peter，David and Mary got 100 percent on the spelling test!"
      Mr.White praised them.Meanwhile，he gave the three students each a dictionary.Peter's was an English-Chinese dictionary - the one he liked best.Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. "This is my happiest moment，" Peter thought.
      After Mr.White gave the test paper back，Peter had a look at the words，feeling proud of his spelling.All of a sudden，the word "contribution" confused him.It didn't seem right.Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. "C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n，" he whispered.He had spelled it wrong.
      "What am I to do？" Peter said to himself. "I expect my classmates to think I'm a master in spelling.If I tell Mr.White one of my spelling words is wrong I'll have to give my prize back，or I will become an example for telling a lie".
      Staring at the red sign "100%" which was written at his test paper，Peter was lost in thought.After a while，he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him， "We ought to be an honest person."
  Paragraph 1：
  Slowly，Peter raised his hand.__________
  Paragraph 2：
  Peter looked around and found many of his classmates were smiling at him.___________
