sale.
One 4 is still existing in my mind. It was shortly before 5 . I was working evenings, straightening
the 6 section. A little boy, five or six years old, came in. He looked poor to me-too poor to 7 to
buy anything. He looked around the toy section, 8 this item and that, and 9 put them back in their
place.
Dad came down the stairs and 10 over to the boy. His blue eyes smiled as he asked the boy 11
he could do for him. The boy said he was looking for a Christmas present for his brother. I was 12
that Dad treated him with the same respect as any adult. Dad told him to take his time and look around.
He did.
After about 20 minutes, the little boy carefully picked up a toy plane, walked up to my dad and said,
"How 13 for this, Mister?"
"How much you got?" Dad 14 .
The little boy held out his hand and 15 it. In his hand lay 27 cents. The 16 on the toy plane he"d
picked out was $3.98.
"That"ll be 17 about to do it," Dad said as he closed the 18 . Dad"s reply still rings in my ears. I
19 about what I"d seen as I wrapped the present. When the 20 boy walked out of the store, I saw
a child with a treasure.

| We have two dogs and offer them good food and a comfortable bed. However, they always try to run away. One day as I was walking them along the river, Cady broke away from me. I called for her to return, but she didn"t. I got unhappy and didn"t run after her. That afternoon I picked my daughter up from school and I told her that Cady might be missing. "If she has done something wrong, I will not be paying her fines this time," I said. My daughter asked for the reason. I insisted that I would not keep a disobedient (不听话的) dog. I took a glance over my daughter. It seemed that the thought of losing the dog was very painful to her. I think I have given Cady a good living environment. If she is silly enough to leave all that behind, then "bye-bye" is my attitude. In a warm and tender moment that brings tears to my eyes, my daughter said, "Dad, you don"t understand. Cady is not pretty and not even well trained. If she is missing, no one will adopt her. That means she will die." Then I remembered that the reason why I kept the stray (流浪的) dog in the first place was that we could not find a home for her and did not want her to be destroyed. My heart softened. As we pulled into the driveway, there stood Cady in the backyard with a lovely expression. My neighbor told me that she was clever enough to find her way back. My daughter jumped with joy. 1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the second paragraph? A. The author wanted to get rid of the dog on purpose. B. The author had difficulty getting along with the dog. C.

A. she was angry with the stupid dog B. she was quite worried about the dog C. she was sure the dog would return D. she wanted to train the dog well 3. What was the author reminded of after hearing his daughter"s words? A. How his daughter loved Cady. B. When Cady became his friend. C. Where Cady was trained. D. Why they adopted Cady. 4. We can infer from the text that . A. the author was happy about the dog"s return B. it"s the author"s job to collect stray dogs C. the author has no experience in keeping dogs D. the author didn"t want the dog to come back | |||||||||||||||||||||
| For these people, looking different isn"t just for October 31. Star Wars Forever The force will always be with Luke Kaye. That"s because this dedicated fan has covered his back, arms, and legs with tattoos(纹身) of Star Wars characters. Kaye got his first tattoo about six years ago. Once he started, he just couldn"t stop. "I kept seeing characters in the movies and thinking, "That would make a great tattoo!"" he says. Kaye also collects items related to Star Wars. He recently had to sell a large part of his collection because it became too expensive to store it. But he can keep the tattoos forever. "I am nowhere near finished yet," says Kaye, who lives in England. He plans to get tattoos of large spaceships down his sides. "You never know with me," he adds, "I could come home one day with my whole face tattooed.” The Hole Story "People often just want to look at me or touch me," says Elaine Davidson. It"s no wonder. Davidson, who lives in Scotland, is covered with nearly 7,000 piercings (穿环)! According to Guinness World Records, she is the most pierced woman on Earth. Together, Davidson"s studs(耳钉) and rings weigh almost seven pounds. She never removes them. She keeps them on even when she goes through scanners at airports. All she takes off is her watch! In June, Davidson made news when she got married. Opposites must attract. Her new husband has no piercings at all. Goo Goo for Gaga Lady Gaga is famous for her outrageous looks. She has worn everything from a dress covered in bubbles to a coat made out of Kermit the Frog dolls. At the 2010 MTV Music Awards, she even wore a dress made out of raw meat! Some stars try not to stand out in public when they are not performing. They might wear sunglasses and a big hat when they go out, hoping that no one will recognize them.

She jokes, "I am just trying to change the world." | |||||||||||||||||||||
