All those second-hand goods are sold at        before.

Bare foot and dirty, the girl just sat and watched the people go by in the park. She never tried to  36 . She never said a word. Many people passed,  37  never did one person stop.

The next day I decided to go back to the  38 , curious if the little girl would still be there. Right in the very  39  as she was yesterday, she sat with the  40  look in her eyes.  41  I began walking towards her, I could see the back of the little girl’s dress indicated a disability. I guessed maybe that was the 42  the people just passed by and made no effort to help. But I wanted to help her, so I  43  to let her know it was OK. I sat down beside her and  44 with a simple “hello”.

The little girl was  45  and replied a “hi” in a low voice. I asked the girl why she was so sad. The little girl looked at me and said, “Because I’m  46. ” I immediately said, “That you are!”and smiled. The little girl acted  47 sadder, and she said, “I know.”

“Little girl,” I said, “you  48 me of a sweet angel.” She looked at me and smiled. Slowly she stood to her  49 , and said, “Really?”

“Yes, dear, you’re 50  a little guardian angel (守护神) sent to watch over (守护) all those people walking by.”

She 51  her head “yes”. Then she spread her wings and said, “I am. I’m your guardian angel.” I was 52  by what I was seeing. She continued to say, “Because you think of someone other than (而不是) yourself, my job here is done.” Immediately, I also 53 to my feet and said, “Wait, so why did 54 stop to help an angel?” She looked at me and smiled, “You’re the only one who could see me, and you  55  an angel in your heart.”

I had this exchange with my 6-year-old last week．

       Him: Mom, we have to start buying Danimals．

       Me: Why?

       Him: So, I can bring it to |school for lunch．It's yogurt ．

       Me: Why do you want it so badly?

       Him: Because Danimals i|s giving away five fantastic Caribbean vacations．

       I had to explain that there was little chance that he would win a vacation．It's a strategy used to encourage kids to beg for artificially-colored （人工着色的） yogurt that costs a lot．

       Marketing follows my kids —and yours—wherever they go ．It comes via TV commercials． Store displays and websites are also constantly selling at our kids ．But the most powerful means in kids" lives is the presence of licensed characters on every product imaginable．

       Children can begin their day in character clothing．There's even character -themed wall paint available．A breakfast in a character bowl can be followed by a character toothbrush and character toothpaste（牙膏）, character soap and shampoo, and a character wash cloth and towel ．Then, they can put on character clothing and character shoes．Check that, character clock on the wall: Is it time for characier-shaped fruit snacks yet?

       Surround kids with enough of the characters and they'll come to believe they need them．Most of us, of course, don't buy all those items．But say no to four products out of five and your home can still get filled with these tiny items encouraging brand loyalty （品牌忠诚）

       At this time of year, parents buy licensed school supplies．With so much marketing around us, it can be tough to stop the tide．

       "One thing that helps parents'is that they can talk to other parents about, this kind of thing," Linn suggested ．"If you decide you want to buck this, it helps to find other people who will do the same thing ．That way, if your child says．"Everyone's doing it," you can really have a sense of whether everyone is．" |

From the dialogue between the author and the son, we can infer that ____-

       A．the son likes drinking yogurt a lot．

       B．buying Danimals may win a free tour

       C．the son's school encourages kids to eat yogurt

       D．Danimals in the most popular yogurt among kids．

We can learn from th^ passage that     '

       A．character bowls increase kids' appetite．

       B．character-themed wall paint is expensive

       C．household goods are becoming the target of advertisers．

       D．Linn considered character-themed products a foolish marketing strategy．

The underlined word "buck" in the last paragraph probably means _____．

       A．support        B．resist           C．advertise            D．learn

What does the passage mainly tell us ?  ．

       A．Marketing is affecting kids all the time．

       B．Most kids now don't have a happy childhood,

       C．Kids like buying licensed school supplies a lot.

       D．Licensed character produce are doing great harm to kids.

Yesterday I attended a classmate party．I was very happy to see my old friends, that I hadn’t met for years．So I drank a lot．After the party, I drive home though my classmate had tried to persuade me not to．I always believed that as a skilled driver, drinking a little did no harm to driving．On the way to home, the wine began to take effect．All of sudden, I cracked my car against a sign on the road．Luckily, a policeman came towards me．He fined me and said: “Drunk driving is a terribly thing．You can end up hurt yourself, and other innocent people life．” Till then, I realized that the effects of drunk driving could be deadly for all those involved．Many people who drink and drive do not think of the serious consequences of their action unless it is too late．So I appeal to everybody never to drink and drive! Cherish your life!
