Danielle Steel, America's sweetheart, is one of the hardest working women in the book business. Unlike other productive authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research time before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into a book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk.
Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable: 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of "Max and Martha" picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problems of death, new hobbies and new schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her son shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books have been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for one of her books being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight.
Not content with a big house, a  loving family, and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource(资源) and has kept in touch with them by e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines(女主人公) of her own invention, her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But, if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable(独特的) style. There is only one Danielle Steel.
【小题1】Children who have read "Max and Martha" picture books may know ______.

A.how to deal with affairs at school
B.what to do if Max and Martha die
C.what to do when new babies are born into their families
D.how to solve the difficult problems in their writing classes
【小题2】One of Danielle Steel's achievements is that ______.
A.some TV plays were based on her books
B.her picture books attracted a lot of young men
C.one of her books became a best-seller in 1998
D.she wrote the Guinness Book of World Records
【小题3】We can learn from the passage that Danielle Steel _____.
A.lives an exciting lifeB.value her readers a lot
C.writes about quiet womenD.is pleased with her achievements

Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(怀旧). It's fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where we ran remember pain, live, 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 glass-top 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.

1.Why does the author call her parents' bed her "safe zone"(Paragraph 3)?

A.It is her favorite place to play.

B.Her needs can be satisfied there.

C.Her grandparents' photos are lined on each side.

D.Her parents always play together with her there.

2.What can be learned from the passage?

A.The old furniture is still in the author's fist bedroom.

B.The author can still visit her first physical home in Los Angeles.

C.The author's favorite room in her first home is the dining room.

D.Many people of the author's age can still find their first physical homes.

3.Sometimes when she feels lost, the author will _______.

A.Open the window at night

B.lie down in bed to have a dream

C.try to bring back a sense of home

D.go to Los Angeles to visit her mom

4.What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?

A.To express how much she is attached to her home.

B.To declare how much she loves her first house.

C.To describe the state of her family.

D.To look back on her childhood.
