William Franklin came to my class half a year ago. But from his first day here, he 1 himself in his
own world and he never spoke to others. As his teacher, I tried to start a talk with him but 2 . It seemed
as if he just didn"t want to break his 3 .
After the Thanksgiving holiday, we received the news of the 4 Christmas collection of money for the
5 in our school."Christmas is a season of 6 , " I told my students."Some poor students in our school
might not have a 7 holiday. By giving a little money, you will help 8 some toys, food and clothing for
these needy students. We will 9 the collection tomorrow."
The next morning, 10 , I found out almost everyone had 11 this matter except Willard Franklin. He
came up to my desk with his head down. 12 , he dropped two coins into the small box."I don"t need milk
for lunch," he said in a 13 voice.
After school I couldn"t help sharing what had 14 in the morning with our headmaster. "I may be wrong,
but I 15 Willard might be ready to become part of our class."" I am 16 to hear that," he nodded. "And I just
received a list of the poor families in our school who most need 17 . Here, take a look at it."
As I sat down to 18 , I found Willard Franklin was at the top of the list. At that moment, I felt I really
19 Willard for the first time: a cold face with a warm heart. From this 20 , I also learnt that whether rich
or poor, every child has a kind heart. |

| 阅读理解。 | On Christmas morning, I went to the Cockhedge Mall. People there were all busy buying their last
minute requirements. I needed to buy a birthday card for my son-in-law whose birthday is the 29th of
December. Picking up a few more things as well as my cared I went to join the line for the express
checkout which was for people who only had a few items in a basket and not a trolley load. This line
was next to the Customer Service desk.
Seemingly waiting quite a long time, I was jogged out of my thoughts by a voice behind me making
comments on the things I bought.
It was so funny when I realized that she was describing the contents of my basket. The owner of the
voice was a very pretty young lady. I said to her that I was going to buy a box of Christmas cookies but
the only ones left were not to my liking. The lady told me that just opposite Cockhedge in Superdrug they
had lots of cookies. I said, "I"m not going to bother now. I had enough of shops and I"m going home."
The assistant from the Customer Service came across at this time saying"If there is anyone in the line
with a few items in their basket, none of which needed to be weighed, I will check out their groceries at
the desk." Because I had the sprouts (豆芽菜) which needed to be weighted, the young lady accepted the
offer and walked away waving goodbye.
Eventually my turn came at the checkout. I was walking away when I met my new friend once again
who handed me a beautiful box of Christmas cookies. With a big hug she said "Hope you have a lovely
Christmas." She had been into Superdrug to buy me the cookies while I was still queuing in Cockhedge.
What a generosity to a stranger! I was so surprised you could have knocked me down with a feather.
My Good Samaritan would never know what a joyful Christmas day I had with my family. Telling them
this story, as we ate around the table, kept everyone spellbound. | | 1. The underlined word "spellbound" in the last paragraph probably means _____. | A. interested
B. disappointed
C. astonished
D. frightened | | 2. Which of the following could be the best title of the story? | A. A Piece of Lucky Feather
B. A Surprise Christmas Gift
C. The Boring Shopping Experience

school I wondered what sort of questions the other boys would ask me and rehearsed (practiced) all
the answers: "I am nine years old. I was born here but I haven"t lived here since I was two. I was living
in Farley. It"s about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago." I also wondered if it
was the custom for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide
not to risk it.
No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone
to say "hello", but no one spoke to me. When a teacher called my name and told me where my classroom
was, one or two boys looked at me but that was all the curiosity my arrival aroused.
My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didn"t stand out there, either,
until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens and he had decided to
read aloud to us from David Copperfield, but first he asked several boys if they knew Dickens" birthplace,
but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said: "Timbuktu", and Mr. Jones went
red in the face. Then he asked me. I said:"Portsmouth", and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said
I was right. This didn"t make me very popular, of course.
"He thinks he"s clever," I heard Brian say.
After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brian"s team, and he obviously had
Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper.
"He"s big enough and useless enough," Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me.
I suppose Mr. Jones remembered Dickens, too, because when the game was nearly over, Brian pushed
one of the players on the other team, and he gave them a penalty. As the boy kicked the ball hard along the
ground to my right, I threw myself down instinctively and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My
bare knees were grazed and bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.
"Do you want to join my gang (team)?" he said.
At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger. | | 1. The writer prepared to answer all of the following questions EXCEPT "_______". | A. How old are you?
B. where are you from?
C. Do you want to join my gang?
D. When did you come back to London? | | 2. We can learn from the passage that _______. | A. boys were usually unfriendly to new students
B. the writer was not greeted as he expected
C. Brian praised the writer for his cleverness
D. the writer was glad to be a goalkeeper | | 3. The underlined part "I didn"t stand out" in paragraph 3 means that the writer was not _______. | A. noticeable

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, there 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! Lastly, 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 (脾气)! I was taking money hand over fist and began to realize why, twice a year, Graham"s were
happy to turn their 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. | | 1. 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. | | 2. In the author"s opinion, why were Graham"s happy to make their expensive store into"Battlefield? | A. There were too many clothes and they wanted to clear them in the sales.
B. They were eager to show that they were clever at doing business.
C. They could take the chance to raise the prices of all their clothes.
D. They wanted to make more money by having sales. | | 3. The expression "crashed out" means _______. | A. chatted with her friends
B. slept soundly
C. broke down
D. dined out | | 4. What would be the best title for the passage? | A. The Best Bargain.
B. Hunting for a job.
C. Sale Fever.
