I always prided myself on being a wise shopper and having a good nose for bargains. So when I came across a sporting goods store with a sign “Going Out of Business Sale”, I marched into the crowded store. Up and down the aisles (通道), I wandered, humming to myself and enjoying the energy and excitement of a sale.
All of a sudden, there, at the back of the store sat a canoe(轻舟) exactly like my husband’s dream Supremo Numero-Uno, whose picture had been stuck on the bathroom mirror for years. My heart beat wildly. I pushed my way through the crowds, and nearly fell into the canoe looking for the price tag. There it was, with the manufacturer’s suggested price at $6,750 plus tax crossed out and a handwritten TO CLEAR $750 AS IS. Must be a mistake. $6000 off? Salesman. I had to talk to a salesman. I spotted a young fellow with a “Hi. I’m Mathew”. “Mathew. Tell me about this El Supremo canoe. What’s wrong with it? Why is it only $750?”
“Oh. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s brand new. We’re closing the store. It’s on clearance like everything else. I’ll go check.” A few minutes later he came back and said, “I’m sorry ma’am. Someone made a mistake on the sale tag. It should be $4,750 for the whole package.”
I felt tears well up in my eyes. “Oh well”, I said sadly. “Of course, it was too good to be true. This is exactly like my husband’s dreamboat. I guess I started to dream myself when I saw that price tag. He’s going to be 62 years old Friday. Had to retire early for his health. It’s been hard on just the pension but the stubborn old fool has been saving $10 every week for years to buy one just like this. I promise I won’t buy anything, but it’s just an old man’s silly dream, you know. Always said he wanted to fish in a canoe after he retired,” my voice lowered and I turned and walked away.
Paragraph 1:
I was already at the mall door when Mathew caught up with me. “Do you have $750 plus $25 for delivery, ma’am?” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“Ma’am. There’s something you should know. This store was my Grandpa’s and the canoe had been ordered by him.

The Internet can be a great way to connect with people.The latest web craze is social networking on websites such as MySpace.More than 65 million young people use online social networking sites.
That cyberspace（网络空间）trend is causing problems in school,however.In a recent survey,nearly 36 percent of school administrators said that social networking sites troubled learning in their districts.Should school districts ban sites like MySpace?
Teachers are worried that some students use social networking to post personal information and to cyber bully（恐吓）other students.One of the biggest dangers comes from people who find out kid’s personal information.
Many districts have blocked students from accessing or using social networking sites from school computers,and some have suspended（暂缓）students for posting harmful material on those sites from their home computers.Nearly two-thirds of US kids have computers in their homes,according to the US Census Bureau.
It is important to keep in mind that just blocking access to social web sites at school is not the end of the story,” warns NSBA executive director Anne Bryant,“Most of the misuse of these sites takes place at home but still affects the classroom.”
Some educators aren’t as quick to pull the plug on social networking.They say the main problem with sites like MySpace is that students don’t understand the dangers involved in using them.“Many students are posting personal information about themselves without regard to who has access to that information,”Jim Hirsch said,“Schools should focus on educating their students and their parents on how to be safe online.”
Experts argue that too many schools are forbidding students to use social networking web sites without thinking about their educational benefits.“Social networking web sites can help connect students in the United States to their peers in other countries, providing invaluable lessons in foreign cultures,”explains Hirsch.
1.Where do students usually misuse social networking sites?
A. At the teacher’s office. B. At the net bar.
C. At the classroom. D. At home.
2.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 may mean .
A. some educators are in favor of students’ using social networking sites
B. some educators can’t block students from accessing social networking sites
C. some educators can’t connect social networking sites easily
D. some educators find it difficult to close social networking sites
3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The Internet can’t be a good bridge to get along well with students.
B. There are some students threatening other students by using social networking.
C. Most of the misuse of these social web sites takes place at school and affects the home.
D. Too many schools allow students to use social networking sites without Question.
4.What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Lessons Online? B. Friendship Online?
C. Dangers Online? D. Information Online?

In life, we will succeed and fail often for reasons that are entirely out of our control. For instance, we can be incredibly nice and love someone deeply, and they may not love us back. We can work harder than anyone else in the office and still not be promoted to management. We can eat healthy food, exercise and stay away from alcohol and cigarettes, and still get sick.
The bottom line is that life is not fair.
That is a tough pill to swallow for many of us. As a result, some people shut down after being hit by even one unfair blow from life. They can’t handle the fact that our efforts don’t always get the results that we expect. But if we let life’s unfairness defeat us, we will never receive the beautiful blessings (幸事) that life has in store for us.
For example, my first marriage ended in divorce. To me, it felt very unfair. I had worked hard to be a good wife and mother. However, no matter what I did, I could not make the relationship work.
I could have been shut down by that experience. I could have decided that if one person didn’t appreciate me as a wife, then no one would. I could have given up. But I knew that I wanted to be married. I knew that I wanted to experience traditional family life. So I didn’t let one seemingly unfair experience stop me from believing that I could one day be happily married. And then one day, I met this kind, thoughtful, generous man with whom I now have a wonderful friendship and marriage. But that wouldn’t have happened if I had decided to give up after one failed marriage.
What I’ve learned over the years is that we can do all the things that deserve a good outcome, but get bad things in return instead.
When we are faced with life’s seeming unfairness, our faith needs to jump in. When life doesn’t go according to plan, we have to let go of the outcome that we are looking forward to and keep trying, working hard and doing the right thing. Please don’t be discouraged. Accept that life is neither fair nor straightforward. And by knowing that if we remain confident, we can drive our unfair experiences away and use them for our benefit.
1.We can learn from the first three paragraphs that ______.
A. life doesn’t often turn out the way we expect
B. the author thinks life should reward us for our efforts
C. unsatisfactory results simply mean your effort is not enough
D. people should focus on the process rather than the outcomes
2.The author wrote about her unsuccessful marriage to ______.
A. complain about the unfairness of her life and marriage
B. tell readers how she met her second husband and became happily married
C. express how proud she is for not being shut down by a blow from life
D. show that we need to have faith and continue working for our goals
3.When we encounter unfairness in life, the author suggests we ______.
a. do nothing but accept them
b. be confident with ourselves
c. keep doing what we should do
d. find out what has gone wrong
A. ab B. ad
C. bc D. cd
4.The author wrote the article mainly to ______.
A. share her experiences of unfairness in life
B. tell us how to deal with life’s seeming unfairness
C. tell us that life has beautiful blessings in store for us
D. explain why life seems neither fair nor straightforward

Habiba keeps a record of new words and expressions in English. He usually writes them in a notebook.
