  Today is the anniversary of that afternoon in April a year ago that I first saw the strange and appealing(令人动心)doll in the window of Abe Sheftel’s stationery and toy shop on Third Avenue near Fifteenth Street, just around the corner from my office, where the plate on the door reads: Dr. Samuel Amory. I remember just how it was that day: the first hint of spring floated across the East River, mixing with the soft-coal smoke from the factories and came to Sheftel’s, I was made once more aware of the poor collection of toys in the dusty window, and I remembered the approaching birthday of a small niece of mine in Cleveland, to whom I was in the habit of sending modest gifts. Therefore, I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything appropriate, and looked at the confusing collection of unappealing objects-a red toy fire engine, some lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens, yellowed stationery, and garish(俗艳的)cardboard advertisements for soft-drinks. And thus it was that my eyes eventually came to rest upon the doll tucked(塞在) away in one corner, a doll with the strangest, most charming expression on her face. I could not wholly make her out, due to(由于)the shadows and the film through which I was looking, but I was aware that a tremendous impression had been made upon me as though I had run into a person, as one does sometimes with a stranger, with whose personality one is deeply impressed.

1What made an impression on the author? ______.

[  ]

AThe doll’s unusual face

BThe collection of toys

2Why does the author mention his niece? ______.

[  ]

BThe doll looks like her

CShe lives near Sheftel’s

DHe was looking for a gift for her

3Why did the author go past Sheftel’s? ______.

[  ]

AHe was on his way to work

BHe was looking for a present for his niece

CHe wanted to buy some stationery

DHe liked to look in the window

4When was the story written? ______.

[  ]

AOne year after the incident

BRight after the incident

CIn the author’s old age

DOn the author’s birthday

5Most of the things in the store window were ______.
