A
As a five-year-old, I didn’t know how poor we were. My father would not be home that
Christmas Eve. He was in the Army serving overseas. My mother and I worked all afternoon making
tree decorations. The kitchen table was crowded with stars made of shiny paper. We were going to
get the Christmas tree in the evening, when the prices for them usually dropped.
After sunset, we walked four blocks to a parking lot where they sold Christmas trees. “How
much is your cheapest tree?” My mother asked the man standing at the entrance. He held his gloved
hands over the fire. “Thirty dollars, miss.”
Her smile disappeared, “Nothing for less?” The man picked up a small tree branch and dropped
it into the fire. “I just work here. I can’t change the price.”

The sudden melancholy（忧郁）in my mother’s face made me sad. The man looked down at me
for what felt like a long time; it probably was only moments. He pointed at a pile of branches in the
corner. “Behind it is a tree that we can’t sell. You can have it for free.”
“Thank you, sir,” I said.
There it was, a thing just a little taller than me. It had few branches—almost a ghost（幽灵）of a
tree. My mother asked, “Can we take some of these branches?” He waved his arm. “Take it all if you
want to, miss.”
We headed back home. We set the tree in the living room. I couldn’t imagine how we could
hang many decorations on such a tree. She was smiling again, “Go to sleep now, son. Santa will
decorate the tree for us.”
I woke at dawn and rushed into the living room. To my amazement, the tree had a beautiful
natural shape. The decorations shone in the morning light. My mother had somehow fixed branches
to the tree trunk. A few weeks later, my father returned. When I told him about the tree, tears filled
the eyes of that strong soldier.
Since then, I have seen many wonderful holidays. That Christmas remains as my favorite.
21. Why did the mother decide to get the tree in the evening?
A. She wanted to buy it at a lower price.
B. She was fully occupied during the day.
C. She was waiting for the father to pick it up.
D. She had made an appointment with the seller.
22. How did the son feel when he spotted the tree behind the branches?
A. Disappointed. B. Delighted. C. Frightened. D. Relieved.
23. What brought the father to tears?
A. The pain of his war wound. B. The efforts his wife put into the tree.
C. The reunion with his family. D. The decorations his son made for the tree.

Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or merely go
there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a
sudden shower.
Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire
to pick up a book with an attractive dust-jacket is irresistible but you might end up with a rather dull
book. A book-lover rarely adopts this method of selection. All too often you soon become absorbed
in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much
time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment — without buying a book, of
course.
This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a
bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like
a bookshop. You can wander round such places to your heart’s content. If it is a good shop, no
assistant will approach you with the unavoidable greeting: “Can I help you, sir?” You needn’t buy
anything you don’t want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have
3

finished browsing. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. Of course, you may want to find
out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should retire
considerately and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.
You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy
to enter the shop looking for a book on, say, ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the
latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing — something which had only
uncertainly interested you up till then. This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well
illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it. This sort
of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of
time wandering from section to section.
24. What is most likely to happen to a book-lover in a bookshop?
A. Lost in some book, he forgets something else important.
B. Annoyed by the shop assistant, he dashes off for an appointment.
C. Attracted by its cover, he buys some book turning out to be a dull one.
D. Unsatisfied with its surroundings, he leaves the shop without buying a book.
25. In the author’s opinion, a shop assistant in a bookshop is supposed to ________.
A. greet customers in a more suitable manner
B. retire from the job if he has no passion for it
C. leave customers alone before services are needed
D. offer nice services from the very moment customers step into the shop
26. In a bookshop with a diversity of books, you tend to ________.
A. ignore the latest best-selling novel
B. be trapped in a dangerous situation
C. buy some book you are not at all interested in
D. buy other books instead of those you initially want
C
Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity (阳刚) in which students
either sink or swim, the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to
conform (符合) to a stereotype, a US study says. Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more
likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional
expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to conform to the “boy code” of hiding their emotions to
be a “real man”.
The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside
girls.
Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being faded by the British education
system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize
that boys are actually more emotional than girls. The research argued that boys often perform badly
in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in
speaking and reading skills.
But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys’ learning style, letting them move
4

around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study’s
author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.
Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with specifically “boy-focused”
approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more
acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given
“hands-on” lessons where they are allowed to walk around. “Boys in mixed schools view classical
music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modern style in which violence and sexism are major
themes,” James wrote.
Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to conform to a
stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships. “In mixed schools boys
feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that
means,” the study reported.
27. What does Tony Little say about the British education system?
A. It makes girls less emotional than boys.
B. It fails more boys than girls academically.
C. It fails to give boys the attention they need.
D. It places more pressure on boys than on girls.
28. According to Abigail James, boys perform better in single-sex schools because ________.
A. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in
B. boys focus more on their lessons without being disturbed
C. teaching quality is relatively higher than in mixed schools
D. teaching can be designed to suit the characteristics of boys
29. Which of the following is NOT characteristic of boys?
A. Boys have sharper vision. B. Boys enjoy being in charge.
C. Boys like “hands-on” lessons. D. Boys prefer physical activities.
30. What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A. Problems boys may have in mixed schools.
B. Boys’ physical and mental growth in school.
C. Advantages of single-sex education for boys.
D. Boys’ disadvantages over girls in mixed schools.

Tips to fight summer weight gain
When we think of summer, most of us think of outdoor fun. So it seems like we should

work against our efforts to stay at a healthy weight. The good news is that it’s easy to avoid
problems if we know what to look out for.
