Being at home calls for some creativity to take the kids on an adventure(冒险). How can you make a fun indoor camping experience?
Sleep in a tent. To make the camping real, try and sleep in a real tent. If you don't have one, then you can always set up a simple tent out of blankets(毯子) and your dining room table. Fill the inside of your tent with sleeping bags and a torch(手电筒). The kids may want to bring their fairy lights and soft toys to the inside of the tent, too.
Make a pretend campfire(假篝火). Get the kids to make a pretend campfire with some coloured card and shine a torch. You can also add some "firewood" around it. If you are lucky enough to have a real fireplace, then use this instead! The best thing about a campfire is that your family can sit around it to tell scary stories, make shadow puppets(影子木偶) or play campfire games.
Bedtime stories by flashlight. Children will enjoy reading bedtime stories by flashlight in their tent. Somehow reading by flashlight always makes stories seem more exciting for kids. Your little ones will fall asleep from their indoor camping adventure. And it's time for you to relax and enjoy watching them sleep.

B
When I tell people that drawing saved my life, they think I'm joking. But, honestly, this hobby has helped me survive(生存) some of the darkest days in my life.
I lost my job five years ago. I had been a magazine editor(编辑) for more than twenty years, but the internet changed my world—at first slowly and then quickly—until I was completely out. Jobless middle-aged men are not just a danger to themselves; they could put anyone around them at risk. I knew I needed something to keep me going, and I thought of drawing.
I had been drawing in my free time for years, practising on my way to work. Now that I was out of work, spending more time in drawing was suddenly easy. I found that even drawing common things, like a pair of shoes, could help me feel peaceful.
I liked to cook and felt comfortable in the kitchen, so I started drawing my dish rack(碗碟架) every night.
Now I have more than a thousand drawings of my dish rack. Every time I start drawing, I feel like every line is out of place. But that's okay because it frees me. When I'm done, I feel like a new man.
I draw not for the result but for the process(过程). But because I've been at it long enough, the results aren't too bad, either. Now I have sold prints of my work to people all over the world and published(出版) three art books. When you start practising your hobby often, who knows what you'll achieve?

()6. Which of the following is the right order of the story?

【分析】
1. 第4题：为细节理解题，需定位原文中绘画对作者失业时的帮助作用。原文第一段明确提到绘画帮助作者度过人生中最黑暗的日子，对应选项中“度过艰难时期”的表述。
2. 第5题：为词义猜测题，需结合上下文语境判断代词指代内容。画线词所在句前半句围绕“开始画画”展开，因此代词指代的是前文的“绘画”这一行为。
3. 第6题：为细节排序题，需梳理事件发生的先后顺序。先明确各事件的时间节点：作者失业前有业余画画的习惯→失业→失业后花更多时间画普通事物→通过绘画取得成就（卖画、出书），据此匹配选项。
4. 第7题：为情感推断题，需结合作者现状判断情感倾向。原文最后一段提到作者通过绘画卖作品、出版书籍，体现出对绘画的感激与当下的开心情绪。
【解析】
4. 定位原文第一段“this hobby has helped me survive some of the darkest days in my life”，“survive”意为“度过、幸存”，与C选项“Live through hard times”（度过艰难时期）语义一致，故选C。
5. 分析画线词所在语境：前半句说明每次开始画画时虽觉得线条不对，但“it”能让作者解脱，此处“it”指代前文的“drawing”，故选A。
6. 梳理事件顺序：作者失业前（b）就有业余画画的习惯→五年前失业（a）→失业后花更多时间画普通事物（d）→通过绘画卖作品、出版书籍（c），顺序为b-a-d-c，故选B。
7. 从最后一段可知，作者因绘画实现了价值，对绘画充满感激，且当下心情开心，对应选项B，故选B。
