That woman carried a new blanket over her arm. Wordlessly, she gave it to me.
“Is it finished?” I asked.
She shook her head. “No. It is ready,” she replied. I handed her the money and took the blanket.
“It is beautiful, so skillfully woven,” I said to my mother. “But what did she mean when she said it was not finished? How can it be ready if it is not finished?”
“I will tell you later,” my mother said, “but first I will take you to the Navajo village.”
We went down to the village. A group of young men were making sand pictures. We walked through the whole village, watching the different things the people were doing.
It was not until that evening that my mother finally explained the Navajo woman’s words.
“Did you notice anything about the things the people were making?” My mother asked.
“What should I have noticed?” I looked at her and asked.
“Each thing the Navajo make has one small part that is not complete. The design in their sand pictures are often not perfectly done, for example---the line of a circle may not quite close. If you look carefully at your blanket, you will probably find a stitch(一针) missing.”
I took the blanket off, but it looked as perfect as any design could be. Then suddenly, I noticed that sure enough a stitch was missing!
“They believe that when anything is completed or finished, it means the end has come--- it will not be perfect until then. Then too, with a circle, they believe that they must leave a pathway for the bad spirits to run away and the good spirits to come in. So, often, they do not make the line close.
1.The blanket the author received ______.
A. was poorly woven
B. made her think a lot
C. cost her a lot of money
D. was finished, but not ready
2.Why was the author shown around the village?
A. To buy more things made by the Navajo.
B. To make friends with some of the Navajo.
C. To have a deeper understanding of the Navajo.
D. To look for the woman who sold her the blanket.
3.Which of the following may the Navajo believe?
A. A stitch in time is very important.
B. Life only becomes perfect when you die.
C. He who makes no mistake is a perfect man.
D. You must always try to make your life complete.
4.What’s the main idea of the text?
A. The Navajo are good at making things
B. The Navajo are brave and hard-working.
C. Skills are needed to do business with the Navajo.
D. A blanket tells a lot about the Navajo culture.

Nowadays,people in many big cities are complaining the heavy traffic. It has serious influenced people’s daily life and economic development. To solve the problem,some pieces of advice is put forward. Some people suggest that more streets and roads are built. By this way,the traffic density can be reduced, thus speeding up the flow of buses and cars. Some people advise limit the number of bikes and cars. This can decrease the traffic flow. But on the other hand, this will effect the consumption and makes buses more crowded.

Opened in 1971, the Magic Kingdom was the first theme park at Walt Disney World. All Disney World theme parks are open 365 days a year, although opening and closing times for each park are different from day to day.
If you are traveling without kids, try to visit it on a school day to avoid the largest crowds. If you need to visit it during a school vacation, try at least to avoid the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day and the Fourth of July. If you are not staying at a Disney World hotel, avoid visiting the Magic Kingdom on its Extra Magic Hours days. The hotel guests get into the park early on those days, increasing the waiting time for visitors who arrive at the normal opening time.
Buy your Walt Disney World tickets online at Disney World’s website. There will be some advice on picking the right ticket. See the guide to Disney World tickets. You will also need to call in advance to make lunch or dinner reservations (预订). Disney accepts reservations, through 1-407-WDW-DINE, up to 180 days in advance. Time does pass quickly, so you should call six months before your trip to get a lunch reservation in the castle. We suggest you should have your lunch at Cinderella’s Royal Table for your tour. If you can’t get the reservation, ask for the Liberty Tree Tavern instead.
Keep in mind that to reach the Magic Kingdom, you must park at Disney World’s Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC) parking lot, take a tram (有轨电车), and then take a boat across the Seven Seas Lagoon to the Magic Kingdom.
1. We learn from the passage that ______.
A. a single adult had better visit the Magic Kingdom on a school day
B. children are not allowed to visit Disney World on New Year’s Day
