“Dad! He took a book without paying!” I yelled .
My father looked surprised. Before the boy could say anything, his mother grabbed his arm and shook it. “Is it true? You stole? Tell me!”
Everyone was quiet. The boy began to cry, and he nodded his head. He pulled out the comic book (漫画书) from under his shirt.
“Oh, Mr. Kim. I am sorry! My Ted made a big mistake!” Mrs. Diaz told my father. She tried to take the comic book, but Ted wouldn’t let go.
“It’s OK. He can keep it,” my father said with a smile.
“Oh no,” Mrs. Diaz said. “Let me pay right now ...” She dug in her purse. “How much?”
“Three seventy-five.”
Mrs. Diaz’s eyes widened, and she dug deeper. I saw her mouth make a small line. “Three seventy-five?” she asked.
“It’s OK. You can pay later,” my father said.
“No,” Mrs. Diaz said. She kept looking in her purse. “I have money here.”
I felt bad for yelling, for I realized that Ted had tried to steal the comic book because he didn’t have the money. Maybe the boy could have a job, I thought.
I had an idea.
“What if he worked with me?” I asked. They turned to me.
I said, “He can work with me to pay for the comic book.”
“Good,” my father said smiling at me. Mrs. Diaz nodded. She turned to her son, “You hear? You will work and buy the comic book!”
“Yes, Mama,” Ted said, hanging his head.
As they left, Ted looked back, and though he still seemed sad, he stuck out (伸出) his tongue at me.
Ted has been working here for two weeks. He has paid for the comic book, but my father says he is such a good worker that he can work with me as long as he wants. We are friends now.
小题1: Where did the story most probably take place? | A．In a classroom. | B．In a supermarket. | C．At a bookstore. | D．At a library. |

小题3:From the underlined sentences in the eighth paragraph, we may infer that Mrs. Diaz ______. | A．didn’t think her son stole the book | | B．had been out of work for a long time | | C．forgot to take money with her that day | | D．couldn’t afford to pay for the book |

Parents whose children show a special interest in a sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their children’s careers．Should they allow their children to train to become top sportsmen and sportswomen? For many children it means starting schoolwork very young．And going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place．It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing．
Another problem is of course money, In many countries money for training is available from government for the very best young sportsmen and sportswomen．If this help can not be given, it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child’s development and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment, etc．All can be expensive．
Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age．Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed．Professional trainers, however, believe that it is only by training when young that you can reach the top as successful sports person．It is clear that very few people do reach the top, and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training．
小题1:Where can we most probably find this passage?| A．An advertisement． | B．A diary． | | C．A newspaper． | D．A notice board． |
小题2:What does the underlined phrase “to take a second place ”in the first paragraph mean?| A．to become less important | | B．To put it at another place | | C．To happen again | | D．They are the most important of all the things |
小题3:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?| A．It’s easy to make a decision when your children want to take up sports． | | B．Most of the students may become top sports men after a long period of training． | | C．Early training may damage young muscles． | | D．It’s not very expensive for parents to support their children’s development in sports． |

Packaging is an important form of advertising．A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product．For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character．The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food．Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or a small gift inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents to buy for them．
Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing．Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this．Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free．However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product．The size of a package also motivates a buyer．Maybe the package had “Economy Size” or “Family Size” printed on it．This suggests that the larger size has the most product for the least money．But that is not always true．To find it out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit．
The information on the package should provide some answers．But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement．The words and pictures do not tell the whole story．Only the product inside can do that．
小题1:From the passage we know the buyer pays more attention to __________．| A．the size of a container | | B．a container with attractive picture | | C．a well-designed container | | D．a plain container with low cost |
小题2:What suggestion does the author give in the passage?| A．It’s not good to buy the product which is sold in a glass or dish． | | B．The quality of a container has nothing to do with the quality of the product． | | C．The best choice for a buyer is to buy a product in a plain package． | | D．A buyer should buy what he needs most rather than a well-designed package． |
小题3:What is the best title for the passage?| A．How to Package a Product． | | B．How to Make an Advertisement． | | C．How to Sell Product． | | D．How to Treat the Package Wisely． |
