13、Amy was looking for a gift for her little daughter. She stopped in front of a store full of dolls.
“Girls like dolls,” she thought as she stepped into the store.
Looking around, she saw a grandma doll — one with grey hair and a pair of glasses. In her mind appeared Joyce, her own mother.
When Amy was a little girl, she got her first doll from Joyce for her birthday. Then the second, the third... the dolls never arrived late, year after year.
“Why always a doll?” This question had been in Amy’s mind until one day her father gave the answer. Joyce dreamed of having a doll when she was a child herself. Her parents promised one for her fifth birthday. Sadly, they both died in a traffic accident before it arrived. The never—received gift was the most precious one in her eyes.
Recalling(回想起) her mother’s story, Amy got an idea.
It was Joyce’s 60th birthday. She got a package with a card that read:
Dear Joyce,
I forget to send you a package that you should have received on May 20, 1956, your fifth birthday. The gift inside has aged, but I felt that you might still want to have it.
Love,
Angel of Joy
Joyce opened the package and saw a lovely grandma doll. She clasped the doll that she had waited so many years for, with tears running down her face. The doll, given by her “Angel of Joy”, made her the happiest “child” in the world. 1．Why did Amy stop in front of a store?
A．She wanted to buy her mother a gift.
B．She liked dolls.
C．She wanted to buy her daughter a gift.
D．Her daughter liked dolls.
2．Amy got a toy for her birthday every year because ________.
A．she liked dolls when she was young
B．her mother ran out of gift ideas
C．it was her mother’s dream to get a doll
D．she and her mother both liked dolls
3．What made Amy think of her mother and want to do something for her?
A．A toy shop. B．Her daughter.
C．A grandma doll. D．Herself.
4．What does the writer want to tell us?
A．We should never forget our parents.
B．We should love our kids first.
C．We should always remember our dreams.
D．We should buy birthday presents for our parents.

14、I needed to buy a digital camera, one that was just good at taking good photos, maybe sometimes for magazines. I went online, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. I pointed at it and asked an assistant, “Can I have one of those?” He looked perturbed (不安).“Do you want to try it first?” he said. It didn’t quite sound like a question. “Do I need to?” I replied. “There’s nothing wrong with it?” This made him look a bit unhappy and I started to feel bad. “No, no. But you should try it.” he said. “Compare it with the others.”
I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras along the wall, offering a wide range(范围) of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly H into my choice. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two choices that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would veryquickly be replaced by a new model.
In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a nice man. So I let him take out my
chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of some shoppers... and when he started to introduce the special parts, I stopped him and asked whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.
Why do we think that new choices still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer a chance to prevent facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.
1．The shop assistant insisted that the writer should __________.
A．try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it
B．compare the camera he had chosen with the others
C．get more information about different companies
D．believe him and stop asking questions
2．What does the writer mean by “it would be worth half what I paid for it”?
A．The camera would soon fall in value. B．The price of the camera was very high.
C．The quality of the camera was not good. D．He should get a 50% discount.
3．The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he __________.
A．knew very little about it
B．didn’t believe the shop assistant
C．had a special interest in taking pictures of shoppers
D．wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best
4．It can be inferred（推断）from the passage that in the writer’s opinion, __________.
A．people waste too much money on cameras
B．cameras have become an important part of our daily life
C．we don’t actually need so many choices when buying a product
D．famous companies care more about the money they can make than quality
C
15、My friends and I had just finished lunch at a hotel when it started to rain heavily. When it became lighter, I decided to get my car which was parked at my office three streets away.
My friends argued that I sho uldn’t go, mainly because I was seven months pregnant (怀孕的) then. I promised that I’d be very careful. One of them wanted to come with me but I asked her to stay with another friend who needed help with her baby.
I walked out of the hotel and started making my way to the car. At the crossing, a black car stopped and a man came out with an umbrella. Before I knew what was happening, he walked right through me and told me he’d escort (护送) me. Although I refused, he insisted (坚持) that he would.
During our walk, he kept telling me to walk slower, as the ground was wet. When we got to the car-park, I thanked him and he went away. I did not get his name and can hardly recognize (认出) him now. Did he stop for me? I’ll never know. So how did I pay it forward? I was at home when I noticed two Indian workers walking in the heavy rain. They were probably on their way to the working place near my home____________
They were surprised by my action. They were very grateful to me, probably wondered why a stranger was offering such kindness. I was so relaxed and happy that day.

19、Hello, friends. I've got a plan for you which may help you learn about Chinese culture. First of all, I'd like to introduce tea. It has a long history. It is said that Shen Nong discovered it as a drink. Tea is one of the most popular drinks in China. So we will have some interesting activities about it for you.
On Saturday morning, you are going to visit a big farm where you can learn about tea processing. On Saturday afternoon, you are going to a tea house after dinner where you can watch a tea art performance.
Why do we plan a visit to a tea house for you? Because you can lean a lot more about tea culture there. You will see a young lady in a Chinese traditional dress who shows you how a cup of tea is made with tea sets, You can enjoy it and relax yourselves while listening to pieces of traditional folk music.
Hope you will have a good time.。
