My childhood was fairly idyllic. I grew up in southern suburbia, we could play outside nearly year round. We almost played outside every day. Our days were filled with bike rides, jumping on the trampoline, playing in the sprinklers, and also imagination games. Countless afternoons were spent in the side yard of our home, where our imaginations were the limit to our fun. One of our favorite games was “Lost Children.” Oddly enough, the parents in the game were always deceased or fighting in a foreign war. The source of this game likely stemmed from the books we read.
My mother’s old, rusty, orange wheelbarrow was perpetually propped up against the fence, to serve as the base for our makeshift range. The metal braces beneath the wheelbarrow bin provided the perfect resting place for a pair of burners, hastily sketched on a flat board. Old paint buckets became a sink and a stained picnic table was scrubbed to a relative state of cleanliness. Our visitors, who were often kings and queens, were served heaping helpings of mud and grass pie, possibly adorned with a side helping of flowers. Household chores were far more fun to do in our imaginary world, and we would eagerly sweep and dust our humble home. Even covered in leaves, we loved our outdoor kitchen.  
Other days, we would scamper around the neighborhood park, sometimes venturing into the woods to go exploring. One time we borrowed my little sister’s wagon and flew down the sides of the ditch. Although we had a grand time my mother was not pleased when she had to replace the broken axle. On adventurous days, we would pretend to be statues on the entrance sign to our neighborhood. But, the most perfect afternoons were spent biking up to the local corner store. With spending money burning a hole in our pockets, we would peruse the convenience store shelves, and after carefully picking our selections, we would pedal home. Our plastic shopping bags hung from the handlebars, rustling in the wind.
The bite of crisp fall evenings would barely phase our childlike fantasies. But, to our dismay, twilight would inevitably seep into our childhood world. Mother would call us in for dinner and a bath, if needed. Tired, beds were welcomed. I would often fall asleep to the gentle rhythm of my mother’s voice.

"Our visitors, who were often kings and queens," is the best choice because “who were often kings and queens” is a parenthetical element and can be removed without changing the meaning of the sentence.

My father is recently retired from his career asa Hollywood stunt performer. When I was a child, hewould do more death-defying tricks in a week than I’m(10) sure I will ever do in my lifetime. My father’s extremecareer and energetic lifestyle made him the coolest dadin town, and I had to live up to him.For American boys, no piece of plywood is safe;it has “ramp” written all over. We would prop some(15) plywood up on a cinderblock and see how high it couldlaunch us on a bike or skates. That was sufficiently funfor years, but eventually my father’s reputation caughtup with me. Soon, my friends wanted to go biggerwith the idea of a homemade launch pad. They urged(20) me to seek my father’s help. At first, I resisted, sinceI didn’t want to start a trend of hair-raising stunts onmy neighborhood street. Who knows what the old ladyacross the street would think?As it turned out, my father was more eager than(25) I was to introduce some stunts to my group of friends.Instead of building a giant ramp, he suggested, whynot build a platform high in the ponderosa pine treeout back from which we could rappel to the ground?It sounded crazy to me, but I yielded to my father.(30) He loved the cliche appeasement, “Trust me; I’m aprofessional.” So, that afternoon, my friends, father,and I piled in the truck and headed for the lumberyard.By this time, I was starting to warm to the idea of arappelling platform in my backyard. My friends could(35) hardly contain their excitement. After all, they wereabout to do something crazy under the supervision ofa real stuntman!My father cruised the aisles at the lumberyard withamazing deftness and efficiency. As he waited for some(40) plywood to be cut, he filled his cart with all kindsof materials that little boys love: nails, screws, glue,chain, cable, nuts, and bolts. This would be the firsttime my friends and I had built anything out of shiny,new parts. No doubt this would be the most awesome(45) stunt in town!When we returned home, we unloaded all of thesupplies near the base of the tree. Looking up thetrunk, my friends and I realized we had a lot of coolbuilding materials but no way to get them up the tree.(50) At that moment, my dad emerged from the garage.“Here’s the last piece.” He held a climbing harness andrope in his hands. “Now I’m going to go up thereand build the structure, then two of you can come upand help with the rigging.” For the next hour, we sat(55) in stunned silence. My father threw one end of hisrope around an upper limb, secured it, and started theslow process of drawing on the two mechanical ascen-ders. Before long, he had reached the notch in the tree,braced himself, and sent down a length of cord to us.(60) “Put a quarter-inch bit in the drill and send it up,”he cried. We prepared the drill and tied it to the line.My father hoisted it and bored the boltholes into thetree. We repeated this process with two-by-fours, bolts,nuts, and finally the plywood square that would become(65) the platform. My father built it with lightning speed.One of my friends gaped at how quickly my fathercould drive screws. Before long, Dad called down say-ing everything was finished and ready for “preliminarytesting.” I didn’t know what he meant by that. “Stand(70) back, guys,” my dad called. We hastily obliged.My father, already standing on the platform, lookedstrangely comfortable so high in the ponderosa tree.Granted, he was still in his harness roped to the tree, butnerves have a funny way of ignoring appeals to logic.(75) Satisfied with his handiwork, my dad began bounc-ing lightly on the balls of his feet. The platform didn’tbudge. Next, he started jumping up and down violently.This shook the platform and made the tree sway, buteverything seemed soundly built and tightly secured.(80) “All right, now we learn to rappel.”My father slid down his rope and called us to joinhim in the attic of the garage. I had only seen what wasup there a few times, and it mostly bored me. Behindan old armoire, though, was a dusty black trunk that(85) I had never seen before. My father began pulling ropesand harnesses from it, then carabiners and rappellingdevices. We eagerly grabbed the equipment and took itto the backyard. My father fit us for the harnesses andbegan an impromptu lesson on the critical safety rules(90) of climbing and rappelling.In a few hours and after a little practice off theroof of the house, we were all ready to tackle the hugetree in the back yard.Q.It can reasonably be inferred from the passage as a whole that the narrator views his father’s reputation as one that developed

The cartoon series enjoyed by young and oldalike revolved mostly around the misadventures of this(5) loveable bear and his sidekick Boo-Boo as theyattempted to snag “pic-a-nic” baskets in the made-upland of Jellystone Park. It’s not often that people thinkabout where the ideas for these cartoons characterscome from, which brings up an interesting point: do(10) bears actually search for food left in picnic basketsand unattended campsites? Anyone who has watchedan episode of Yogi Bear can see that the bears’ behav-ior goes far beyond the limits of what is natural. Thething which must be explored, then, is which of those(15)humorous antics were license on the part of Hanna-Barbera, and which were actually based on the bear’snormal behaviors.Remarkably enough, bears have been known toseek out food from some unlikely sources, including(20)picnic baskets, on top of their usual diet of berries,insects, and fish. Bears work throughout the summerand fall to build up fat stores so as to have energyenough to last them through their winter hibernations.Related to this is their need to replenish their depleted(25)reserves when they wake up in the spring. Food is gen-erally scarce in the early spring, and consequently theywill gladly indulge in any foods that are high in pro-teins or fats. This is the main reason for many incidentsinvolving bears entering campsites in search of food.(30)Although this behavior may seem strange, it isno more than the result of nature equipping bears witha variety of traits that allow them to remain well fedin increasingly human-populated habitats. Specifically,the American black bear, Ursus americanus, has color(35)vision and has been observed by scientists using itscolor vision to distinguish between varying food itemsat close range. On top of this, all bears have an acutesense of smell and can use their especially sensitive lipsto locate food.

Here you can find the meaning of My childhood was fairly idyllic. I grew up in southern suburbia, we could play outside nearly year round. We almost played outside every day. Our days were filled with bike rides, jumping on the trampoline, playing in the sprinklers, and also imagination games. Countless afternoons were spent in the side yard of our home, where our imaginations were the limit to our fun. One of our favorite games was “Lost Children.” Oddly enough, the parents in the game were always deceased or fighting in a foreign war. The source of this game likely stemmed from the books we read.My mother’s old, rusty, orange wheelbarrow was perpetually propped up against the fence, to serve as the base for our makeshift range. The metal braces beneath the wheelbarrow bin provided the perfect resting place for a pair of burners, hastily sketched on a flat board. Old paint buckets became a sink and a stained picnic table was scrubbed to a relative state of cleanliness. Our visitors, who were often kings and queens, were served heaping helpings of mud and grass pie, possibly adorned with a side helping of flowers. Household chores were far more fun to do in our imaginary world, and we would eagerly sweep and dust our humble home. Even covered in leaves, we loved our outdoor kitchen. Other days, we would scamper around the neighborhood park, sometimes venturing into the woods to go exploring. One time we borrowed my little sister’s wagon and flew down the sides of the ditch. Although we had a grand time my mother was not pleased when she had to replace the broken axle. On adventurous days, we would pretend to be statues on the entrance sign to our neighborhood. But, the most perfect afternoons were spent biking up to the local corner store. With spending money burning a hole in our pockets, we would peruse the convenience store shelves, and after carefully picking our selections, we would pedal home.
