In his mid-fifties, Jack had never been 1 , experienced the joy of having children or spent holidays with his family. On this miserable rainy night, he felt as if there was 2 in the entire world who cared whether he lived or died.‎ ‎ Meanwhile, I was sitting in my room watching the rain 3 my window. When I heard the doorbell ring, I 4 from my chair and raced out. But my mother was already at the door. Opening it, she found herself face-to-face with a very dirty-looking man with tears streaming down his face. My mother, overcome by 5 ，invited the man inside, and he sat with my parents in our living room．‎ ‎ 6 ，I walked secretly downstairs so that I could get a better look. I couldn't understand what they were saying, but the sight of the man, 7 his head in his hands and crying, made my chest ache. I raced back upstairs to my room and 8 my hand into my money jar. Pulling out my only half-dollar coin, I ran back downstairs.‎ When I reached the door of the living room, I walked right in. The three 9 looked at me in 10 as I quickly made my way over the stranger. I put the half-dollar in his hand and told him that I wanted him to have it. Then I gave him a 11 , turned and ran as fast as I could out of the room and back upstairs. I felt excited but happy.‎ Downstairs, Jack sat quietly with his head 12 . Tears streamed down his face as he 13 held that coin. Finally looking up at my parents, he said, “ It’s just that I thought nobody cared. For the last twenty years, I have been so 14 . That is the first hug I have ever got. It’s hard to believe that somebody 15 ”.‎ Jack's life changed that night. When he left our house, he was 16 to live instead of die. Although we never saw Jack again, we received letters from him 17 , letting us know that he was doing fine.‎ My life changed that night, too, as I 18 the hug healing power of giving, even if it’s only a gift of fifty cents. Before Jack left, my parents asked him why he had knocked on our door. Jack said that 19 he'd walked along the streets that rainy night, 20 and ready to die, he had noticed a sticker on the car.

I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left my home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception (接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.‎ The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth. So I decided that my approach must be wrong.‎ I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked at it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it?” “Twenty pounds.” ‎ I said. “OK,” he said, “I will give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, it is nothing,” the shopkeeper answered.‎ Everything was going according to my plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “It will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I will buy it.” I said. “What do you mean? You just sold it to me.” “Yes, I know, but I have just changed my mind, I am sorry. I will give you twenty - seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy.” he said. Suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You are right” I said, “What would you have done if I had walked in and asked you to mend the chair?” “I would not have agreed to do that. We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it, and too much trouble. But I will mend this for you. Will you pay it for five?”. He was a very nice person and was greatly amused (感到有趣) by the whole thing.‎ ‎21. We can learn from the passage that in the first shop the writer________.‎ A. was rather impolite ‎ B. was warmly received C. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair ‎ D. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair ‎22. The expression “ the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper___.‎ A. changed his mind B. accepted the offer C. saw the writer’s purpose D. decided to help the writer ‎23. How much did the writer pay for the repair?‎ A. 5. B. 7. C. 20. D. 27.‎ B Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand（品牌）of product on the shelf.‎ Colouring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Healthy foods are packaged（包装）in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.‎ When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package — blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.‎ The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.‎ It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 percent of the ‎ total cost of the product itself on packaging!‎ The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears Soap, who for 25 year has used pretty little girls to promote（促销）their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it.”‎ ‎24. Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text? ‎ A. The cost of its package B. The price of the product ‎ C. The colour of its package D. The brand name of the product ‎25. The underlined part “the colours turned the customers off” (in Para.3) means that the colours ________ .‎ A. attracted the customers strongly B. had weak effects on the customers ‎ C. tricked the customers into shopping D. caused the customers to lose interest ‎26. Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?‎ A. The way to promote goods. ‎ B. The discovery of a genius ‎ C. The team to produce a good product ‎ D. The brand name used by successful producers ‎27. Which of the following would be the best title for this text?‎ A. Choice of Good Products. B. Disadvantages of Products.‎ C. Effect of Packaging on Shopping. D. Brand Name and Shopping Tricks.‎ C ‎ In 1939 two brothers, Mac and Dick Dmc Donald, started a drive–in restaurant in Sna Bemadino‎, ‎California. They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue restaurant, then another drive-in. But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this minimal selection they added one new concept: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.‎ Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity (相同性) , for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cook’s sticking to the routine. Their new drive-in became incredibly (非常地) popular , particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened; they were content with this small success until they met Ray ‎ Kroc.‎ Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he was selling milk shake mixing machines. He quickly saw the unmatched appeal of the brother’s fast food restaurant and bought the right to franchise (出售特许权) other copies of their restaurants. The agreement signed included the right to copy the men, the equipment, and even their red and white buildings with the golden arches.‎ Twenty years after the day Ray Kroc watched people rush up to order fifteen–cent hamburgers, McDonalds had over $ 1 billion in total sales a year. Today McDonalds is a world famous name. Its first twenty-two years is one of the most incredible success stories in modern American business history.‎ ‎28.

They allowed other copies of their restaurant.‎ ‎ C. They had strict rules for the preparation of the food.‎ ‎ D. They added a new concept to the selection of the food.‎ ‎31. We can conclude from this passage that _________. ‎ ‎ A. Ray Kroc was a good businessman ‎ ‎ B. forty years ago there were a lot of fast-food restaurants ‎ C. Mac and Dick McDonald never became wealthy because they sold their idea to Ray Kroc ‎ D. The location the McDonalds chose was the only source of the great popularity of their drive-in ‎ D It’s not easy being a teenager(13至19岁青少年)-nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager．You can make your child feel angry, hurt or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself．It is important to give your child the space he needs to ‎ grow while gently letting him know that you’11 still be there for him when he needs you．‎ ‎ Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving，consider everything else open to discussion．If your child is unwilling to discuss something，don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind．The more you insist，the more likely that he’11 clam up．Instead，let him attempt to solve things by himself. At the same time，remind him that you’re always there for him should he seek advice or help．Show respect for your teenager’s privacy(隐私)．Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations．‎ ‎ Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long，tell him he can talk for l5 minutes，but then he must stay off the phone for at least all equal period of time．This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls，but teaches your teenager moderation(节制).Or if you are open to the idea，allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job．‎ ‎32.
