    I needed to buy a camera, one that was simply good at taking good snaps (快照). So I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations (推荐) and headed for my nearest big camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked a salesgirl, “Can I have one of those?” “Do you want to try it first?" she said. It didn’t quite sound like a question. “Do I need to?” I replied. “There’s nothing wrong with it?” “No, no. But you should try it,” she said encouragingly. “Compare it with the others.”
    I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering different prices. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to consider Z and possibly H at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.
    But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps (陷阱) by making the right choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The salesgirl seemed a kind girl. So I let her take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers... and when she started to introduce the special features, I cut in to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.
    Why do we think that new choices still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer a chance to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.
    小题1:The salesgirl insisted that the writer should ______.
    A．try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it
    B．compare the camera he had chosen with the others
    C．get more information about different companies
    D．trust her and stop asking questions
    小题2:What does the writer mean by “it would be worth half what I paid for it”?
    A．The camera was not good.
    B．He should get a lower price.
    C．The camera would soon fall in value.
    D．The price of the camera was too high.
    小题3:The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he ______.
    A．knew very little about it
    B．didn’t trust the salesgirl any more
    C．wanted to make sure he chose the best one
    D．wanted to take pictures of his fellow shoppers
    小题4: It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer’s opinion, ______.
    A．salespersons are not always very kind
    B．people waste too much money on cameras
    C．cameras have become an important part of our daily life
    D．we don’t actually need so many choices when buying a product

    小题1:B
    小题2:C
    小题3:C
    小题4:D

    试题分析：作者去商店买一款自己从网上看到的相机，有一款正好打折，作者要看一看，售货员让他与别的产品比较一下，经过再三思量，作者还是买了自己选中的那一款，他认为买东西的时候，并不需要那么多的选择，相信自己。
    小题1:细节理解题。从短文中这句话“Compare it with the others.”可知女售货员坚持让作者把他选的与其它的比较一下，故选B。
    小题2:语义猜测题。根据语境，从这句话“ first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.”中作者面临两个问题，一是：买新款相机，它只有我预付款的一半的价格；二：买款别的。但划线部分意思是属于第一种情况，相机价值很快下滑，故选C。
    小题3:结构分析题。从短文倒数第二段描述可看出，作者决定买自己选择的那一款，因为他认为自己选择的就是最好的，故选C。
    小题4:分析归纳题。从短文最后一段可看出，作者的观点是，当我们买东西的时候，并不需要那么多的选择，所以作者决定买自己选择的那一款，故选D。

    THE University of St Andrews is the setting of royal(皇家的) love: on the grounds of this great Scottish university Prince William and Kate Middleton first met and fell in love.
    More than that, St Andrews is Scotland's first university and one of the oldest universities in the English-speaking world. Founded in 1413 (just after Oxford and Cambridge), over 600 hundred years, the university has been well known as one of Europe's leading and most distinctive centres for teaching and research.
    St Andrews is located in a small, historical town to the coast(海滨)of North East Scotland. The university itself is the perfect place for learning. On average one in three people you see in the street have something to do with the University. You start to feel very quickly that you belong.
    As a student in St Andrews, playing golf is a must. With the town itself known around the world as “The Home of Golf”, the university is within minutes of the ancient golf-playing ground in the world, the Old Course, just near the sea. Students can take a break from their studies by enjoying a game of golf, and the university itself is a popular place to go.
    It has one of the lowest dropout(辍学) rates in the UK---98 percent of students complete their degree. Perhaps its popularity is in part because of the fact that St Andrews is good for nearly every subject. It has long been among the UK's top five.

It seemed strange, but sure enough, Catherine’s cancer had spread.

Not only does Tee warn Alana, but also her husband. Then the cat stays with Alana until she recovers.

    Cats
