The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth -- so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?"
He looked it over carefully and said,- "Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?"
“Twenty pounds," I said.
“OK," he said, "I"ll give you twenty pounds."
“It"s got a slightly broken leg," I said.
‘"Yes, I saw that, it"s nothing."
Everything was going according to my plan and l was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked.
“Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done."
“I"ll buy it," I said.
“What do you mean? You"ve just sold it to me," he said.
"Yes, I know but I"ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I"ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it."
“You must be crazy," he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair."
“You"re right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, "Would you repair this chair for me?""
“I wouldn"t have agreed to do it," he said. "We don"t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I"II repair this for you. Shall we say for five pounds?" He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.

小题2:词义猜测题。根据I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind.可知此处我要改变做事的方法,有一个新的计划,故选B。

One midnight, John’s house was on fire suddenly. John was sleeping and didn’t know what was happening. At that time, Sunlight noticed the fire and woke up John. John called the police. Soon the fire was put out by the police.
Now John often says to others, “ The dog is really my good friend. In the thick smoke and big fire, he could have run out of the house first, but he didn’t. No matter how dangerous it is, he first thinks of his owner.”
Today more and more dogs are wandering ( 流浪 ) in the street. Many people don’t want to keep their dogs because they move to another place. Even some people say that they can’t stand the dogs’ dirtiness. Animals are one part of our society. Maybe our pets will give us a hand like Sunlight someday.
小题1:We knew Sunlight is John’s son from the passage.
小题2:The police put out the fire that night.
小题3:Sunlight ran away because he was afraid of the fire.
小题4:Some people don’t want to keep dogs because they move to another place.
小题5:The passage mainly told us when something is on fire, you must call the police first.
Nick sat there, holding the envelope. It felt heavy. There was paper inside, or money perhaps. "I"d better hand it over to the police," he thought. There was a police station close to his office. But, as he got off the bus, a man came to him. He seemed to be waiting for something. "He wants the envelope," Nick thought. Nick began to walk quickly, and the man hurried after him. Nick managed to lose the man in the crowd(人群).When he entered the police station, the man was no longer in sight.
Inside the police station, Nick handed over the envelope to the policeman who was on duty. The man opened it. The envelope was full of money, false(假的)money.“Clearly the man made a mistake," the policeman said. "He thought you were one of the gang(团伙)!”
“However," the policeman went on. "I"m afraid I must ask you to keep quiet about all this. We are trying to catch some very clever thieves, and we don"t want them to know that we have some of the money. So you mustn"t say a word to anyone-not even to your boss!"
小题1: The man who suddenly gave Nick an envelope was most probably_______.
A.Nick"s friend | B.the bus driver | C.a thief | D.a postman |
A.he wanted to catch Nick |

The hair and makeup in a movie are just as important as the costumes or the sets. Over the years, Peter has made actors look older, younger, healthy and sick. For one movie he even made a female actor look like a man! "What people don"t realize about wigs is that we are not always making people more beautiful," he says. "Often we are covering up beauty and making them look ordinary."
All Peter"s wigs are handmade using human hair, so they look as real as possible. This also makes them very expensive -between US $ 4,500 and US $12,500 each! He knows he"s done a good job when people don"t realize the star of the movie is wearing a wig. So he was pleased when one newspaper said that Nicole Kidman had dyed her hair dark brown for a movie. "It was a wig and no one knew that9" he said.

Other teachers had told me that our children were from poor families and not to expect any child to bring a Christmas gift. In fact, I wasn’t expecting any gifts.
Imagine my surprise when every child brought me a gift on the day before our holiday break. First, I got a much-loved toy monkey from a shy girl. I was told, “He is my favorite, but I love you and I want him to be with you, Miss Taylor.” How thrilled I was!
Next came a new set of Christmas tree lights that was “missing” from a mother’s cupboard(碗橱).
Finally, I came to one little boy’s gift which I had never received. It was an old, dirty and broken Christmas storybook. Just when I wanted to show my happiness, I was interrupted(打断) by the giver, “And see, it is new! It still has the price tag(标签).”
When other children laughed at him, I stopped them and said, “Oh, books are good in that way. The story is always new if you have not read it before. Now, Let’s read one together.” Everyone listened quietly as I read the most wonderful Christmas story of my life.
I still keep those Christmas gifts. They always remind me of my lovely kids.
