“Joe? Is that you?” The woman speaking to me at the 16 game looked a little strange.
“Marci?”
“It’s you!” she shouted, 17 brightly. “Gosh, it’s good to see you again!”
A few years ago, a friend told me the 1900s had been very difficult for Marci. So 18 her at the baseball game surprised me. We spent several minutes talking about our 19 : kids, houses and education. We played a little “Have you seen…?” and “Did you know…?” And we 20 the good and bad days. Then Marci became 21 for a while, looking out over the crowd.
“You know, Joe,” she said, “I’ve 22 wanted to tell you… how…you know… how 23 I am for the way I treated you.”
“It’s OK,” I said. “It’s nothing serious.”
“But I was such a fool,” she went on. “Yes, you were , ” I thought. We were both pretty 24 , ” I said. “But that’s no 25 for…”she stopped, and then went on, “It’s just always 26 me, remembering how bad I was to you. So… I’m sorry.”
The smile on her face was 27 and friendly. And there was something in her eyes that cheered me up. “OK,” I said, “I accepted your apology, ”
Influenced by the sweetness of the moment, I gave her a big hug. Just then, the crowd broke into a huge cheer, and Marci and I both returned our 28 to the game. By the time I looked over to where she had been, she was gone, 29 the warm, wonderful feeling of our good communication was still there.

For those who just love to shop online, November 11 is the best time of the year.
It is called Singles’Day in China. But some years ago, it became a big day for people who like shopping online. On that day last year, many online shops offered a big discount and free delivery service. The biggest online shopping sites in China, Taobao. com and Tmall. com, sold things worth 35 billion in total.
“Things online are often much cheaper. It also saves me lots of time. And we often have more things on many online stores than in shopping malls,” Wang Xin, an online shopping lover in Beijing, said to China Daily. She stayed up very late for a lot of cheap things online. She spent several thousand yuan that day.
Another big advantage of online shopping is that it helps people get things from different cities even
from different countries with ease. “I like eating duck neck and I often buy it on Taobao from shops in Wuhan. It’s more delicious than what our local stores sell, but cheaper,”said Zhang Xin, a girl in Yangzhou.
While enjoying online shopping, many people find that sometimes the things online are not so good as they expect. Some people also have worries, especially for high school student buyers. Young students are easily attracted by advertisements on the Internet and buy things they don’t need.
“High school students should concentrate on their studies. Searching for things wastes their time,”said Jing Chunling, an education expert. “Besides, online shop owners have no idea of the ages of the buyers. Anyone can easily buy things if they want to. Some of them are even bad for young students such as cigarettes and wine.”
34. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to find good online stores.
B. How to buy good products online.
C. Dangers of shopping online for students.
D. Advantages and disadvantages of online shopping.
35. Why do people worry about middle school students shopping online according to the passage?
A. Because the students play computer games.
B. Because the students don’t know how to buy products online.
C. Because online shop owners are very bad.
D. Because people think it doesn’t suit the students.
36. Which is NOT the right reason for so much online shopping according to the passage?
A. It saves time.
B. Online stores have the best quality goods.
C. It’s easy to buy things online.
D. It offers cheaper products.
C
The Vieira family moved to the US in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only speak English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country. Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their relatives and friends. But they can’t communicate with them. Unluckily, this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their customs and mother languages behind. This is a mistake because there will be lots of ________ if we know more than only one language. For example, you can communicate directly with more people. You don’t have to depend on others to talk for you.
Further more, speaking a second language allows you to experience other cultures and customs better. So, knowing another language increases your knowledge of other cultures and customs.
Finally, having more multi-language speakers improve relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world will then have more respect for each other and understand each other better.
The importance of knowing more than one language is clear. But it’s sad that many people don’t try to learn another language. It’s even worse when people let themselves forget their mother languages and become silent.
37. The passage begins with the experience of the Vieira family in order to ________.
A. introduce the main characters to us
B. tell us when the Vieiras moved to the US
C. describe the advantages of moving to the US
D. explain why the Vieiras stopped speaking their mother language
38. Which is the best word that you can choose to fill in the blank ?
A. advantages
B. disadvantages
C. knowledge
D. chances
39. We can do the following things except ________ if we speak more than one language.
A. communicating more independently
B. experiencing other cultures and customs better
C. improving relationships between countries
D. enter the best university in the US
40. Which do you think is the best title for the passage?
A. Living in an English-speaking country
B. Learning another language
C. Forgetting your mother language
D. Experiencing different cultures
D
