An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money. When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother， “Only a miracle（奇迹） can save him now，” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully. She hurried to a drugstore （药店） with the money in her hand. “And what do you want？” asked the salesman. “It‘s for my little brother，” the girl answered. “He’s really，really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon？” said the salesman. “My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him.

Most people like buying things by touching them on a store shelf. Many people begin to feel some goods as theirs when they touch them. They have “mine, mine, mine” feeling as little as 30 seconds after touching an object(物体). In a study, some people were shown a cheap coffee cup, and were allowed to hold it for 10 seconds or 30 seconds. They were then allowed to buy it in either a closed or an open place. The people knew the real price of the cup before they began to buy. If people hold the cup for a longer time, he will pay more for it. In fact, people hold the cup for 30 seconds pay more than the others. “The amazing part of this study is that people can become almost attached to something like a cup.” said James Wolf,”By touching the cup and holding it in their hands, they begin to feel the cup is theirs. Once they begin to feel it as theirs, they are willing to keep it.” Many businessmen use this way to sell their things. For example, car sellers send the buyers out on test drives and pet shop owners encourage people to play with the dogs in the window. When you are testing out new cars, you are going to buy it at once. But you can do better if you get ready for it. 1.Many people want to buy something which they can______ by themselves. A. see B. touch C. hear D. look 2.The _______ people hold the cup, the more they will pay for it. A. longer B. shorter C. more D. less 3.Which of the following is NOT true? A. Many businessmen use this”touch” way to sell their things. B. By touching the cup and holding it in their hands, many people begin to feel the cup is theirs. C. If people hold the cup for a longer time, he will pay less for it. D. Car sellers send the buyers out on test drives and pet shop owners encourage people to play with the dogs in the window in order to sell them. 4.The main idea of this passage is_______. A. more and more people don’t care about the goods they want to buy B. many people are willing to pay for the goods which they would like to hold C. how do the businessmen sell their cars D. people often buy something they don’t like

Dear Editor, I am writing to ask what has happened to our youth. They are not as polite, hard-working or clever as my generation. I will give you two examples. Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9.15a.m. It was very busy so there were no free seats. There were some teenagers sitting on the seats nearest me. I didn’t know why they were not at school. They were talking loudly and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise. A heavily pregnant(怀孕的) woman and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They saw the woman but did nothing. I had to ask them to give her a seat. They reluctantly(勉强地)did so but give me a rude look. I got off at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn’t follow me. Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friend’s family. I was expecting to meet his children, who I hadn’t seen for ten years. During dinner, we started talking about world politics. It soon became clear that they didn’t know much. They couldn’t tell me the name of the King of Spain or the President of Italy. All they knew about was the Internet and which singers were the most beautiful. In my day, students knew the kings, queens and presidents of every country in Europe. I worry about the future of Germany. How could these young people become responsible workers and parents? They sit around Macdonald’s after instead of going to the library like I did at their age. Maybe they have too much money. Perhaps another reader can give us an idea about what to do with this“lost generation”. Franz Vogts Hamburg 1. Mr. Vogts writes this letter to the editor to _________. A. show how rude the teenagers are B. complain the way some people act C. express his worry about Germany’s future D. show how lazy young people nowadays are 2.When Franz Vogts met the teenagers on the underground, he_________. A. expected that they would make less noise B. knew there was no hope for him to get a seat C. felt he would meet with some trouble from them D. thought they should have been studying instead of staying there 3.Franz Vogts was not pleased at the dinner because_________. A. he was not politely treated B. the children cared more about singers than him C. the children did not know much about world politics D. he had different opinions about the world from his friend 4.By saying “lost generation”, Mr. Vogts refers to__________. A. the fact that he is angry with young people today. B. the people at his age C. his worry about these young people D. today’s young people

I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier（收银台）in her general store. 1. I quickly learned the importance of treating customers（顾客） politely and saying “thank you.” At first I was paid in candy. 2. I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account.（账户） 3. By the time I was 12, my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics（化妆品）. I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “ What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup（化妆）ideas. 4. The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a Rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener. 5. Except they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed. A.Later I received 50 cents an hour. B.Before long, she let me sit there by myself. C.I ended up selling a record amount of cosmetics. D.Today I still carry that lesson with me: I listen to customers. E.My grandma’s trust taught me how to handle responsibility（责任）. F.Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before. G.Watching my money grow was more rewarding than anything I could have bought.
