I needed to get some money during my winter holidays. So after Christmas I took a job in the clothes department at Graham’s for the first fortnight of the January sale. I can’t say that I enjoyed it,but it was an experience I’ll never forget.
I could never understand why there were so many things in the sales; where did they all come from? Now I know the secret! Firstly, there is the special winter stock(货物)and the stock that people buy all the year round; some of these things are slightly reduced. Secondly, the re are the summer clothes they couldn’t sell last year, these are heavily reduced to clear them. Thirdly, there are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales; these are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60% in the sale. Clever! Later, they buy in “seconds” (clothes not in perfect condition) for the sale and they are sold very cheaply.
When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale, there was already a queue around three sides of the building. This made me very nervous.
When the big moment arrived to open the doors, the security guards, looking less confident than usual, came up to them, keys in hand. The moment they had unlocked the doors, they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in. I couldn’t believe my eyes;this wasn’t shopping,it was a battlefield! One poor lady couldn’t keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind.
Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colors and styles they wanted. Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small children to crawl(爬行) through people’s legs and get hold of things they couldn’t get near themselves.
Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous English Queue gone? The whole day continued like that, but I kept my temper！I was taking money hand over fist and began to realize why, twice a year, Graham’s were happy to turn the ir expensive store
into a battlefield like this.
In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain it was OK.
You won’t believe this but as soon as I got home I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and went back to bed, fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.
24. What kind of clothes is likely to be sold 5% cheaper?
A. Last summer’s clothes.
B. Clothes not in perfect
condition.
C. Clothes bought in specially for the sales.
D. Clothes for winter.
25. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The customers gave up the queuing, for which the English are famous.
B. The customers kept their temper while looking for clothes they wanted.
C. Small children enjoyed crawling through people’s legs.
D. The security guards were fearless of the crowd.
26. In the author’s opinion,why were Graham’s happy to make their expensive store into a “battlefield”?

It’s a popular belief that a fish’s memory l asts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t recognize you or any of their friends --- every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.
But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago.
In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again.
Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movemen ts. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.
In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively（挑衅地）in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past “fights”. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.
Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild.
“If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risks,” lead researche r Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.
For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.
32. What is the article mainly about?
A. Fish having very bad memories.
B. Fish being smarter than we thought.
C. How fish improve their memory.
D. What we can learn from fish.
33. According to the article, people used to believe that _______.
A. fish could only remember part of their past experiences
B. fish could remember things that happened 12 days ago
C. a fish’s memory lasted for only seven minutes
D. fish didn’t recognize any of their friends
34. How can fish benefit most from a good memory? They can remember _______.
A. where to get food and survive
B. their enemies and fight
C. where to escape to when in danger
D. their friends and help each other
35. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Fish behave aggressively in a fight.
B. Only African cichlids have a good memory.
C. Fish don’t belong to the list of smart animals.
D. Fish can remember more.

Five Steps to Better Handwriting
Some kids love handwriting, but others hate when it’s time to put their pen to paper. Maybe they are worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them？36 Here are five steps that really work!
Get a great grasp
Try this—hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard？But when you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. 37 Hold it in place with your thumb, and your index(食指) and middle fingers.
Let the lines be your guide
Lined paper is your friend！Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion(均衡)．38 Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely. Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, it’s hard to control where you stop and start your letters.
Lower the pressure
39 That makes it harder to make th e smooth lines. Try easing up and don’t hold the pencil too tightly.
