阅读理解。     In the US, the most popular way to welcome the new year is with a big party. Some parties are at private
homes. But in recent years, it has become more and more common for Americans to go to a hotel or
eating-place on the night of December 31st. There, they can eat a big dinner, drink champagne, and dance to
orchestra music.
     Most New Year"s parties are usually noisy. People shout and sing. And often, guests blow on small
noisemakers when the new year arrives at midnight. This tradition of noise making is believed to start centuries
ago. People thought that loud sounds would drive away the bad spirits of the old year.
    The biggest, noisiest New Year"s party in the US takes place in Times Square in New York. Thousands of
people gather (聚集) there. Some of them ring bells and set fireworks. Others blow whistles of car horns (喇叭). And at twelve o"clock, they begin to cheer as an electric sign in the shape of a red apple lights up on top
of a tall building.
     The Times Square celebration includes another well-known American tradition. Since 1929, the band of
musician Guy Lombardo has given a concert on New Year"s Eve. Guy Lombardo died in 1977. But, Bill
Lombardo, has kept the tradition alive with a band concert at a New York city hotel. When the crowds in
Times Square start cheering the arrival of the new year, television cameras show the band playing the song
Auld Lang Syne. 1. The most usual way to welcome the new year in the US is _________. A. to go shopping

     Shopping on the Internet is becoming more and more popular. Why do people use the Internet to shop?
Some people say it is more convenient. They don"t have to leave their homes to order something; they can
shop for anything they want at any time; they can find things for sale that they can"t find in the stores near
their homes. Still other people say they can find better prices on the Internet.
     If you want to buy something on the Internet, you need a credit (信用) card. You have to type your
credit card number and information on the website (网页) and send them to the store over the Internet. You
have to be sure that the store will not use your information in the wrong way. You don"t want someone to
get your credit card number, so be careful with it, beause people sometimes steal (窃取) credit card numbers
from stores.
     The Internet is also a good place to go window-shopping. Window-shopping is when you look at the
things for sale in a store, but don"t plan to buy anything. In window-shopping you can see what kinds of things
you are able to get and how much they cost. Some stores like Ross Stores have a website for information
about their stores, but not for shopping. Some stores have a website for information about their stores, and
can shop on-line there, such as Office Depot, Payless Shoe Source, Safeway. Some stores like Amazon. com
are only for on-line shopping.

     The lady with the white fence (篱笆) taught me to leave the gale to life open... My husband died in an
accident and I became very angry. I hated being alone. One day, as I was  1  down a busy street, I suddenly
noticed a new fence around a house. I pulled off to really watch it. It was such a good  2  that I was deeply
touched. I could not send  3 away. The fence still smelled of fresh paint.
     "Hello!" I came up and said to a lady in the back garden,"I came to see the fence. It"s so beautiful!"
     "Oh! The fence is not there for me," the lady explained to me in a calm voice,"I live alone.  4  so many
people pass by every day, and I think they may be pleased to see something really attractive.  5  stop like
you and come up to have a chat."
     "But weren"t you sad when they expanded (拓宽) the road and everything changed so much?"
     "Change is part of life and takes part in  6 us who we are. When something we do not like happens to us,
we have two choices-to become a  7  person or to become a better person."
     Her reply changed my life. I carefully left the gate open and drove on  8  a new feeling inside me. I could
not tell  9  it was, but I could feel the thick stone wall around my angry heart breaking off. And  10  a pretty
white fence was built. I decided that I would keep the gate open for everything and everyone that came my
way.

Last Friday after I got my pay, I went shopping on my way home. In the crowded supermarket, I lost my purse and my money was gone with it. I felt very angry and sad. We were not rich and the money was important for us. How could I tell my wife about it? I felt really sorry for losing the money. When I got home, I cleaned the house and prepared a nice meal. I hoped what I did could comfort (安慰) my wife. When she came back, she was surprised to see the clean house and the nice meal. Then I began to tell my story when we were at table, but my wife didn"t respond (反映) as if she had not heard my words. Maybe she was trying hard to hide her anger, I thought. "I"ve lost my pay." I said to her again. "I see." She didn"t seem to be angry with me. For a moment, she said nothing but enjoyed the meal with me. "I"ve lost my money," I could not help asking, "why don"t you blame (责备) me?" "Oh, my dear," she raised her eyes, looked at me and said, "I"m thinking about how to comfort you. It"s the thief who is to be blamed!"
