PAGE  江苏省苏州市2014高考英语阅读理解寓乐于练 阅读理解 (2013·四川，D) Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia (怀旧 ). Its fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. Youll realize whats 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.

I purposely leave the window open at night because I know Ill be blamed by Mom. But I dont mind, because I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me Im home. 文章大意：家是让人感觉到和平、安宁、安全、祥和的地方，是能够让人的心灵完全放松的地方。 9．Why does the author call her parents bed her “safe zone” (Paragraph 3)?
