Jenny was almost five. Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw a circle of white pearls(珍珠) in a box. “Oh please, Mommy .Can I have them? Please, mommy, please!”
Quickly the mother checked the back of the little box and said ,” That’s almost $2.00. If you really like them, I’ll think of some extra chores for you and in no time you can save enough money to buy them for yourself.”
Then Jenny began doing more chores at home and did housework for neighbors. On her birthday, Grandma gave her another new dollar bill and she had enough money to buy the necklace.
Jenny loved her pearls. She wore them everywhere, even to bed.
Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed, he would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to read her a story. One night when he finished the story, he asked Jenny, “Do you love me?”
“Oh yes, Daddy. You know that I love you.”
“Then give me your pearls.”
“Oh, Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have my Princess.”
“That’s okay, Honey. Daddy loves you. Good night. ”And he brushed her cheek with a kiss.
About a week later, after the story time, Jenny’s daddy asked for the pearls again. And Jenny refused him again.
A few nights later when her daddy came in, Jenny was sitting on her bed with her legs crossed. As he came close, he noticed one silent tear rolling down her cheek.
“What is it, Jenny? What’s the matter?”
Jenny didn’t say anything but lifted her little hand up to her daddy. And when she opened it, there was her little necklace. She finally said, “Here, Daddy. It’s for you.”
With tears gathering in his own eyes, Jenny’s kind daddy reached out with one hand to take the dime-store necklace, and with the other hand to reach into his pocket and pull out a blue case with real pearls and gave them to Jenny. He had had them all the time. He was just waiting for her to give up the dime-store stuff so he could give her the real treasure.
What does the underlined word “Princess” mean?
A. It may be the daughter of the king .
B. It may be one of her toy girls.
C. It may mean Jenny`s teacher.
D. It may mean another necklace.
Why did tears come down when Jenny offered her necklace to her father?
A. Jenny felt sorry because she would lose her favorite.
B. Jenny felt excited because her father would give her a new necklace.
C. Jenny felt sad because the necklace she had bought was expensive.
D. Jenny `s father spent too much money on the necklace.
What’s the best title?

Cyberspace,data superhighway,multimedia,for those who have seen the future,and the linking of computers,televisions and telephones will change our lives for ever.Yet for all the talks of a forthcoming technological utopia,little attention has been given to the implications of these developments for the poor.As for all the new high technology,the West concerns itself with the “how”,while the question of “for whom” is put aside once again.
Economists are only now realizing the full extent to which the communication revolution has affected the world economy.Information technology allows the extension of trade across geographical and industrial boundaries,and transnational corporations take full advantage of it.Terms of trade and exchange,interest rates and money movements are more important than the production of goods.The electronic economy made by information technology allows the haves to increase their control on global markets — with a destructive impact on the have??nots.
For them the result is unstable.Developing countries which rely on the production of a small range of goods for export are made to feel like small parts in the international economic machine.As “futures” are traded on computer screens,developing countries simply have less and less control of their destinies.
So what are the options of regaining control?One alternative for developing countries is to buy in the latest computers and telecommunications.Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraints on developing countries’ economies.
Communication technology is generally exported from the US,Europe or Japan;the patents,skills and ability remain in the hands of a few industrialized countries.It is also expensive,therefore imported products and services must be bought on credit usually provided by the very countries whose companies stand to gain.
From the passage we know that the development of high technology is in the interests of________.
A.the rich countries B.scientific development
C.the local elites D.the world economy
It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A.international trade should be expanded
B.the interests of the poor countries have not been given enough consideration
C.the exports of the poor countries should be increased
D.communication technology in developing countries should be modernized
Why does the author say that the electronic economy may have a destructive impact on developing countries?
A.Because it enables the developed countries to control the international market.
B.Because it destroys the economic balance of the poor countries.
C.Because it violates the national boundaries of the poor countries.
D.Because it inhibits the industrial growth of developing countries.
The development of modern communication technology in developing countries may________.
A.hinder their industrial production
B.cause them to lose control of their trade
C.force them to reduce their share of exports
D.cost them their economic independence
The author’s attitude towards the communication revolution is________.
A.positive B.critical
C.indifferent D.tolerant

In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to 1 a different life. It was a transitional (过渡的) time in Daniel's life. I wanted to 2 him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the 3 time I had let such moments pass. When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, "What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?" Then he walked 4 the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar 5 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him 6 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 7 me. Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 8 opportunities. How many times have I let such moments 9 ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what he has 10 to me. Or what he might 11 to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything. What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? 12 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet I always 13 never hearing him put his 14 into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so 15 to tell a son somethin from the heart? My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. "Daniel," I said, "if I could have picked, I would have picked you." That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world 16 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was 17 of was the stubble (短须) on his chin as his face pressed 18 mine. What I had said to Daniel was 19 . It was nothing. And yet, it was 20 . | ||||
