12.I was doing some Christmas shopping in a toy store and decided to look at Barbie dolls for my nieces.A nicely dressed little girl was excitedly looking through the Barbie dolls as well.As she was looking,a little boy came to the Pokemon toys.He was dressed neatly,but his clothes were obviously old.He was with his father as well,and kept picking up the Pokemon video toys.Each time he picked one up and looked at his father,his father shook his head and said,"No."
The little girl had chosen her Barbie.However,she stopped and was watching them.Rather dejectedly,the boy had to give up the Pokemon toys and choose something else.The little girl put her Barbie back on the shelf,and ran over to the Pokemon toys.She excitedly picked up one and raced towards the checkout.I picked up my purchases and got in line behind them.Then,much to the little girl's delight,the little boy and his father got in line behind me.After the toy was paid for and bagged,the little girl handed it back to the cashier (收银员) and whispered something in her ear.The casher smiled and put the package under the counter.
I paid for my purchases and was rearranging things when the little boy came up to the cashier.The cashier checked his purchases and said,"Congratulations,you are my hundredth customer today,and you win a prize!"With that,she handed the little boy the Pokemon toys,and he could only stare in surprise.It was exactly what he had wanted!
The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway during all of this.Then they walked out.As I walked back to my car,I heard the father ask his daughter why she had done that.I'll never forget what she said to him."Daddy,didn't Grandparents want me to buy something that would make me happy?"He said,"Of course they did,honey."To which the little girl replied,"Well,I just did!"
I feel very shocked to have witnessed the true spirit of Christmas in that toy store,in the form of a little girl who understands more about the meaning of this festival than most adults I know.

2.When teenagers begin looking for new survey sites,they go in the wrong direction.Because of this,95% of you will end/up joining some of the lowest paying places you could imagine.A simple fix (解决方法)for this is to change how you"look"for surveys.
 The-web will never lack teenagers survey sites.New ones are appearing rapidly,which is also the problem.So many of them are flying onto the web and about all of them are paying very low amounts for their surveys.The problem is that most people can't find the better paying ones that open up because they still try to use a search engine to locate the best places.
 All you get now are teenagers survey sites that might be flashy,but have very low payments.The quick fix is to use the power of large forums.It's your instant and total source of honest knowledge about surveys.That's right.I said"honest",which is really hard to find when it comes to surveys.Big forums have tons of it,though,because they hate spam (垃圾由P 件)and take all of it out of their topics.
 They also clear up the false or misleading information that people leave.
 That,s the huge reason why they work so well.Besides this,the archive (档案) section of a large forum is full of topics about surveys.You can rank all of them up,which is exactly what you need to do.You will see which are the teenagers survey sites other boys and girls are.making the most cash with and where they are not.You get a very nice list of top dollar places this way.
 Adam Woodham is an expert on Paid Surveys and runs the resource site Free Survey List,which features a top 5 list of the free teenagers survey sites he has made the most amount of money on,along with a review of each.
64.The writer believes that lowest paying survey sites are.C

20.Cold weather has a great effect,on how our minds and our bodies work.Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word"cold".For centuries,the body's blood has been linked closely with the emotions.People who show no human emotions or feelings,for example,are said to be cold-blooded.Cold-blooded people act in a merciless way.They may do brutal things to others,and not by accident.For example,a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer.The killer murdered someone,not in self-defense.He seemed to kill with no emotion.
Cold can affect other parts of 1he body,the feet,for example.Heavy socks can warm your feet,if your feet are really cold.But there is an expression-to get cold feet-that has nothing to do with cold or your feet.The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do.For example,you agree to be president of an organization.But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned.All the work of the organization will be your responsibility.You are likely to gel cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.
Cold can also affect your shoulder.You"give someone the cold shoulder"when you refuse to speak to them.You treat them in a distant,cold way.The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone,instead of speaking to him face-to-face.You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise:he made to you.Or,to someone who has lied about you to others.
"A cold fish"is not a fish.It if a person.But it is a person who is unfriendly,unemotional and show no love or warmth.A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.
"Out in the cold"is an expression often heard.It means not getting something that everybody else got.A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise.He was left out in the cold.And it is not a pleasant place to be.

67.The text is intended to tell us thatC.
A.cold weather has a great.effect on human bodies
B."cold"is a word closely linked with human emotions
C.many English expressions contain the word"cold"
D.the word"cold"has many different meanings in English
68.The underlined word"brutal"in paragraph 1most probably meansA.
A.Cold-blooded.     B.illegal       C.impolite      D.extreme
69.Which phrase can best describe a person who is unwilling to offer anything to others?C
A.cruel                  B.To get cold feet.
C.A cold fish.          D.A cold shoulder.
70.If the teacher gives all the boys except Tom a pen as a prize,you can say heD.
A.is given the cold shoulder             B.is punished by a cold fish
C.has got cold feet                      D.is left out in the cold.

2.When I first saw the book Alice in Lace,I thought I was going to like it.And as it turned out,I love it!I love books about life and being a kid.And Alice in Lace is just that kind.It's a humorous book about being thirteen and the problems kids might face.Alice and her friends get a strange assignment from their totally cool teacher,Mr.Everett.It was like playing the game of"Life,"but you had to act it out.
So Pamela is pregnant,Elizabeth buys a car and Alice gets married.Well,of course,Pamela wasn't really pregnant,but she walked around with a pillow under her shirt to get people's reactions.Elizabeth didn't really buy a car,but she went to the car lot and made the sales guy think she was.The whole class got assignments like these!I would love to do something like that for school.
In the book Alice has a lot to think about."Getting married is hard!"Alice says.She has to plan the ceremony,the honeymoon,find a place to live,pay for furniture and two months'rent and food.Maybe she and her"husband"could work it out-if they were getting on fine!
Although this book was funny,it really made me think about how problems like these could really mess up your life.Take teenage pregnancy for example.How could you have a baby and stay in school?You couldn't find a babysitter every day to stay with your kid.A child really consumes your life.I understand what the teacher was trying to do.He was trying to discourage the class from getting into these problems by giving them a glimpse of life.As someone about to become a teenager myself,I can say sometimes a story makes you think about what's up ahead.
Overall,I would say this book is wonderful.My favorite part of the book is discovering that if I like it,there are seven other Alice books I can check out at my local library.I love this book,and I hope you will too.
59.We can infer from the passage that Pamela,Elizabeth and AliceB.
