| 阅读理解 | It was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the
doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the
top step.
"Any old papers, lady?" asked one of them.
I was busy. I wanted to say "no" until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little
sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow.
"Come in and I"ll make you a cup of hot cocoa."
They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served
them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started
cooking.
The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands,
looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, "Lady, are you rich?"
"Am I rich? Pity, no!"
I looked at my wornout slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully
and said, "Your cups match your saucers." They left after that, holding their papers against the wind.
They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.
Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over
our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little
sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to
forget how rich I am.

A. she wanted to sell old papers to them

D. she had the same experience as them in the past
3. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The girl thought the writer was rich just because she wanted to make the writer happy.
B. The writer had thought she wasn"t rich because her supplies were not expensive.
C. If cups and saucers match well, they are a best pair even though cheap.
D. After hearing what they said, the writer seemed to understand what a rich life was.

too extreme.
Because I"m stubborn, I realized my dream of creating a petfood company. Our foods include organic
fruits, vegetables and meats. At first we packaged our foods in transparent bags, as it was part of our
guiding philosophy.
To start the company in 2003, I visited every petfood store in Manhattan and some outside the city.
In 2007 I moved the company to Muskego, Wis., and our earnings were almost $500,000 that year. But
getting my products into stores was just the beginning. We were competing against much bigger petfood
companies whose monthly marketing budgets were more than our yearly sales. So we invested in
advertising and a website.
With more customers came more feedback, much of which I dismissed. I was also receiving
complaints about ice crystals (晶体) on the food, which form when the air temperature changes during
transport. For this reason, most frozen foods are packaged in opaque (不透明的) bags or boxes.
Studies have proved that ice crystals have little, if any, effect on either the quality or the taste of the food.
So I ignored the complaints. After all, I told myself, we were better than competitors that wouldn"t even
show their products. We didn"t hide anything.
In 2007 our sales kept growing, but not as fast as those of our competitors. We were told that new
consumers were choosing products packaged in opaque bags. When I visited the stores and forced
myself to consider my products objectively, I had to agree:The ice crystals destroyed the look I wanted.
We switched to opaque bags and tried to make the ice crystals smaller. Customers responded:In 2009
our products were sold in 2,500 stores across the country.

A. To make their foods look attractive.
B. To show their guiding philosophy to consumers.
C. To make sure that their foods could be seen clearly.

2. Why did the author invest in advertising and a website?
A. Because few people knew about their products.

C. Because he wanted to move his company to Muskego.
D. Because his company was about to close down.
3. According to the passage, ice crystals ________.
