         We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home.
    On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow."Buy it," my
    wife said at once. "We'll carry it home on the roof rack. I've always wanted one like that."
         What could I do? Ten minutes later I was ￡20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It
    was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.
         In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police
    even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.
         After a time my wife said, "There's a long line of cars behind. Why don't they overtake, I wonder?" In
    fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with
    great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One
    of the officers came to me.
         "Right, sir," he said. "Do you need any more help?"
         I was a bit puzzled. "Thanks, officer," I said. "You have been very kind. I live just on the road."
         He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. "Well, well," he said, laughing. "It's
    a cupboard you've got there! We thought it was something else."
         My wife began to laugh. The truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. "Yes, it's
    a cupboard, but thanks again." I drove home as fast as I could.
    1. In fact the husband _____ the cupboard.
    A. would like very much to buy
    B. badly wanted
    C. was glad to have bought
    D. would rather not buy
    2. Other drivers thought they were _____.
    A. carrying a cupboard to the church
    B. sending flowers to the church
    C. carrying nothing but a piece of furniture
    D. going to attend a funeral at the church
    3. The police will be more polite to those who are _____.
    A. driving in gathering darkness
    B. in great sorrow
    C. driving with wild flowers in the car
    D. carrying furniture
    4. What did the husband think of this matter?
    A. It was very strange.
    B. He felt ashamed of it.
    C. He took great pride in it.
    D. He was puzzled at it.

         When I was seven, my father gave me a Timex, my first watch. I loved it, wore it for years, and haven't
    had another one since it stopped ticking a decade ago. Why? Because I don't need one. I have a mobile phone
    and I'm always near someone with an iPod or something like that. All these devices (装置) tell the time-which
    is why, if you look around, you'll see lots of empty wrists; sales of watches to young adults have been going
    down since 2007.
         But while the wise have realized that they don't need them, others-apparently including some distinguished
    men of our time-are spending total fortunes on them. Brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe and Breitling
    command shocking prices, up to ￡250.000 for a piece.
         This is ridiculous. Expensive cars go faster than cheap cars. Expensive clothes hang better than cheap
    clothes. But these days all watches tell the time as well as all other watches. Expensive watches come with
    extra functions-but who needs them? How often do you dive to 300 metres into the sea or need to find your
    direction in the area around the South Pole? So why pay that much of five years' school fees for watches
    that allow you to do these things?
         If justice were done, the Swiss watch industry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered
    how to make accurate watches for a five-pound note. Instead the Swiss reinvented the watch, with the aid
    of millions of pounds' worth of advertising, as a message about the man wearing it. Rolexes are for those
    who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains; a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family;
    a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planes across the world.
         Watches are now classified as "investments" (投资). A 1994 Philippe recently sold for nearly ￡350, 000,
    while 1960s Rolexes have gone from 15, 000 to 30, 000 plus in a year. But a watch is not an investment. It's
    a toy for self-satisfaction, a matter of fashion. Prices may keep going up-they've been rising for 15 years.
    But when fashion moves on, the owner of that? ￡350, 000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no
    more a good investment than my childhood Times.
    1. The sales of watches to young people have fallen because they _____.
    A. have other devices to tell the time
    B. think watches too expensive
    C. prefer to wear an iPod
    D. have no sense of time
    2. It seems ridiculous to the writer that _____.
    A. people dive 300 metres into the sea
    B. expensive clothes sell better than cheap ones
    C. cheap cars don't run as fast as expensive ones
    D. expensive watches with unnecessary functions still sell
    3. What can be learnt about Swiss watch industry from the passage?
    A. It targets rich people as its potential customers.
    B. It's hard for the industry to beat its competitors.
    C. It wastes a huge amount of money in advertising.
    D. It's easy for the industry to reinvent cheap watches.
    4. Which would be the best title for the passage?
    A. Timex or Rolex?
    B. My Childhood Timex.
    C. Watches? Not for Me!
    D. Watches-a Valuable Collection.

         It is not unusual at all for teens to answer their parents with one-word answers. "Where are you going?"
    "Places." "When will you be back?" "Sometime." "Who will you be with?" "People."
         That means that the days of your children bounding in the front door with the details of their day are over.
    They are breaking away from you so that they'll be able to stand on their own as a young adult.
         Some parents feel sad about this loss of their children's closeness. Of course you miss those conversations
    and friendly talks. Once your children move out after high school and establish themselves confidently as a
    young adult, they'll come back for easy conversations and even ask for advice. But in order to determine who
    they are right now they need to separate from you.
         Your job, however, is to keep them safe-and that requires knowing there they are and who they are with.
    Let them know clearly that it's not because you want to dominate their life and control them; it's because it's
    a safety issue for family members to keep track of one another.
         When they're home and sit down to eat a meal, sit down with them. You need to open up to them about
    your life. Tell them of an interesting incident at the office, let them in on a bit of family gossip (闲谈), discuss
    a piece of news with them. They are glad that you see them as old enough to be in on a few experiences of
    your life. By letting a teen in on your life, they just may let you in of theirs.
    1. The underlined word "That" in Paragraph 2 probably refers to "_____".
    [     ]
    A. teens no longer tell parents their detailed information
    B. teens don't tell parents where they had been any more
    C. parents are impatient to listen to their children
    D. parents are occupied by doing their business
    2. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
    [     ]
    A. the generation gap is becoming wider and wider
    B. teens quarrel a lot with their parents
    C. teens don't want to live with other family members
    D. some parents feel distant from their teenage children
    3. The author believes that teens' one-word answers show _____.
    [     ]
    A. their awareness of independence
    B. their physical and mental changes
    C. an unpleasant parent-child relationship
    D. their wishes for keeping silent
    4. What's the main idea of the last paragraph?
    [     ]
    A. Parents should understand their children.
    B. parents should keep their children safe.
    C. Parents should open their hearts to their children.
    D. Parents should give their children enough freedom.
    5. What's the author's purpose in writing the passage?
    [     ]
    A. To give advice
    B. To direct teenagers
    C. To present findings
    D. To comfort parents
