【题目】While I was in my 4th month of pregnancy（妊娠期）with my second child，we were preparing for a trip to Louisiana，where Marshall’s family live，to celebrate Jane’s 2nd birthday．Two days before we were to leave，we got the shocking news that I was going to lose the baby．Not knowing when this would happen，we decided to continue with our trip．
Since Marshall’s family lives on a 600-acre cattle farm，you often find that you have a lot of time to yourself to think when you are there．That is precisely what I did not want to do at this time．I told Marshall that I needed to get a good book to get lost in while I was there．I told him I heard the Harry Potter books were good，so he went out and got the first one for me．
During that trip，I totally got lost in the book，which was of great help during a time when I needed a distraction to forget about the sadness．In the book，I noticed the name “Seamus”．I vaguely remembered it was pronounced “Shamus” and I liked the sound of that．I mentioned it to Marshall and he liked it too．Toward the end of the trip，I had just 5 chapters left and I knew I was about to finish the first book，which I was pretty excited about．
Soon after we put Jane down to bed，I had started labor（分娩），so I was unable to read．The labor lasted 5 and 1/2 hours，but Marshall stayed there with me，sitting beside me and reading aloud the last 5 chapters of Harry Potter．I can never fully explain how much that helped me through the experience．And ever since then，Marshall and I both have been fans of the Harry Potter books．We remember how they helped us get through that time of our lives．
We were sad to have lost the baby，but the name Seamus started our journey toward adoption．And we gave this name to our adopted son．Though our Seamus doesn’t have a drop of Irish blood in him，the name fits him perfectly．
【1】Why did the writer want a good book during the trip?
A．Because the trip to Louisiana would take a long time．
B．Because she didn’t want to think of losing her baby．
C．Because she had nothing else to do except reading．
D．Because a good book could help her enjoy her trip．
【2】According to the story，we can know that the Harry Potter books _________________．
A．made the family’s trip more exciting
B．include five books all together
C．have someone called Seamus in them
D．can help people deal with their problems
【3】The writer named her son Seamus because ___________________．
A．she wanted to keep her trip in memory
B．she loved this name very much
C．her son doesn’t have Irish blood
D．it is a perfect name for a boy
【4】Which is the best title for the passage?

【题目】Are you a problem shopper? The answer is “Yes”, if you or someone else thinks that you sometimes get carried away with shopping. In other words, do you or does someone else think you are occupied in extreme shopping? If people have regrets later about their shopping, or have an “out-of-control” feeling about the quantities of what they buy or the amount of credit they use, they may be considered to be problem shoppers.
Extreme shopping can lead to a more serious problem — addictive shopping. Addictive shoppers feel driven by the desire to shop and spend money. They experience great tension which drives them to shop and spend money and they feel a “rush” during the time they are occupied with the shopping activity.
Extreme or addictive shopping may result from long-time unpleasant feelings, of which anxiety, pain and shame are common ones. When we feel bad inside, we often do something to make ourselves feel better. In this case, we often go shopping.
A few people shop to relieve their boredom or emptiness. For some people, the motivation is a desire for status, power, beauty or success. Some love to shop as it makes them feel valued in the eyes of the shop assistants. Others shop simply because it makes them forget, at least temporarily, tension, fear or unhappiness in their life.
Besides, shopping malls are designed to encourage continual shopping. For instance, there are some malls where you can’t see clocks displaying the time because they don’t want you to become too aware of the time you spend there. What’s more, food courts, coffee shops and restrooms are provided, so you don’t have to leave the mall because of your physical needs.
Therefore, once you become aware of how market forces work, you will certainly come to control your shopping behavior. For example, how much time you will spend and what areas you will visit can be decided before you enter the mall. Keep a written account of what items you will buy and how much money you will spend. Make a plan for what you are going to buy before you feel the urge to shop and then stick to it. That is vital for gaining self-control.
【1】Which of the following people may not be problem shoppers?
A. Those who cannot control the amount of credit they use.
B. Those who just walk around the shopping malls.
C. Those who are occupied in too much shopping.
D. Those who feel sorry for their shopping.
【2】According to the passage, what may not result in addictive shopping?
A. The awareness of how market forces work.
B. The desire for status, power, beauty or success.
C. Boredom, emptiness, tension, fear or unhappiness in people’s life.
D. Long-time bad feelings of anxiety, pain and shame.
【3】What does the author suggest to control our shopping behaviour?
A. Never going to the shopping malls because there are many tricks.
B. Applying for a credit card before we go shopping.
C. Making the shopping time as short as possible.
D. Making a shopping list before we go shopping.
【4】The author writes this passage to _______.
A. inform the shopping malls how to attract more shoppers
B. scold the problem shoppers
C. provide solutions to the problem shopping
D. tell a shopping story
