What makes a house a home?Not size，of course.Ive been in some of the grandest houses in America，and its clear that no one lives there.Earlier this year，I had dinner in a mud hut in Ethiopia，where we sat on chairs next to the hostess beda home that had more warmth than any house Ive been in since.Now John Edwards is exploring what makes a house a home in his just-released(发行)Home.The Blueprints of Our Lives.There Edwards writes，“This isnt a book about houses；its a book about homes.About the values they rest on，the dreams they are filled with，and the people they have shaped.”Edwards writes，“The houses and circumstances are different，but much of what you find inside will be familiar.”Whether youre sitting in an airport right now，waiting to fly to your childhood home for Thanksgiving，or in your own home waiting for the s to arrive，you know what hes talking about.Weve lived in our townhouse for 21 years.Its home now.The loose windows that shake in the wind.The fireplace so shallow it holds only one log.The kitchen window that offers a view of the world passing by.Its where friends sit on the kitchen counter drinking wine while dinner is being fixed.I lived there for only 18 years，but it will always be my true home.Even the lamp in the west living room window，which I could see far down the road when driving home late at night，still shines.While all this talk about childhood memories can be warm and comforting，home is whom youre with，not where you are.As Edwards writes，“Home is family.Home is safety.Home is faith.”Happy homecoming.41According to the author，what makes a house a home?AAll the belongings in the house.

You may complain that there are too many tests on the way to college entrance, but an increasing number of students want to take one more. That is the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT, an American test for students who intend to apply for college admission.Chen Huanlu, aged 18, from Shandong Province took part in the SAT subject tests （SAT 2） in Hong Kong on June 2. She has also been scheduled to take the SAT reasoning test （SAT 1） in October.“I hope to study environmental engineering at an American university, where I may have more opportunities to get cutting-edge （前沿的） knowledge in this area,” said Chen.However, not all SAT test takers want to apply to American universities.“I wanted to see how I would do when faced with plenty of stress and also to evaluate （测评） my scholastic level by an American standard. The SATs made my school life more diverse,” said Senior 2 student Zhou Yuxiang from Sichuan Province.Zhou, aged 17, a top student in his school, was inspired by some of his friends. They have taken this test and been admitted to American universities, including Harvard and Yale. Last winter vacation he took a 20-day SAT course at Chengdu New Oriental School.“As I prepared for the test in the following months, I was forced to balance my everyday schedule better. Fortunately I was optimistic enough to have undergone the most difficult time,” he said.In May and June, Zhou flew alone to Hong Kong to sit for the SAT1 and SAT2.“They are both the standards which have been set for us to reach. What we should do more sensibly is to try harder to prepare for them. Survival of the fittest （适者生存） is true both in America and in China. That is something I have learnt beyond the SAT itself,” he said.1. The SAT is a test designed mainly for _.A. Chinese students who want to go to college in AmericaB.
