My best friend Jenny and I got to the mall for shopping. She held up a white sweater and matching skirt.“Do you like this?” she asked.

“It’s great,’’I said. Jenny nodded and continued looking while I moved about. touching the beautiful clothes. “I’ll try this on.” Jenny walked towards the dressing room. After a while, she came out in the outfit(一套衣服). She looked beautiful.

I sighed. Part of me wanted to say how good she looked. but another part stopped the words coming out. Jenny was in such good shape that she’d look good in the outfit. Sometimes. I regretted choosing a best friend who was so pretty. God, why can’t I be the one with the rich parents and the great look? More and more, I was envious(妒忌的)of her.

“Well, Teresa, what do you think?” Jenny asked more than once. “Do you like it?’’

The outfit looked great on her, but I lied, “Not really. I think you need something with more colors.’’

“You think so?" Jenny said doubtfully.

“Just believe me. We’ll find something better, "I told her, pushing her back into the dressing room. “You just can’t buy the first thing you see.” I did my best to get Jenny out of the store, away from that outfit. As we left, Jenny gave the sweater one last look.

Just down the mall, we passed a yogurt place. ‘‘My treat, ’’Jenny said, pulling out her wallet.

I could never say no to chocolate, so we got some and sat down at a table. As Jenny talked without stopping about a million things, I thought about my feelings toward her. Those feelings weren’t kind.

Sitting there,______Jenny was attractive(吸引人的)not just because of her good luck, but more because of her kindness. Treating me to chocolate was far from her only show of generosity. She also let me drive her car and borrow her clothes.

Finishing our chocolate, we headed for the next clothing store. ‘‘Look at that red sweater.’’ Jenny said as we passed the window. ‘‘It would be perfect for you. Soon maybe you’ll have enough by saving your babysitting money to buy something like that.”

A few minutes earlier, all I had heard was about saving my babysitting money. I had hated the fact that Jenny could ask her parents for anything, and they’d buy it for her. This time, though. I heard more. I heard the voice of someone who loved and cared me for who I was. I needed to express the same to her.

1.Teresa felt _________ when Jenny came out of the dressing room in the new outfit.

A.envious B.excited C.lonely D.comfortable

2.Teresa and Jenny __________ after they left the first clothing store.

A.headed for the next clothing store B.talked about the outfit Jenny wanted

Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it repaired, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.

The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth--so I decided that my way must be wrong.

I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing.”

Everything was going according to my plan and l was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ‘Would you repair this chair for me?’” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’II repair this for you. Shall we say for five pounds?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.

Paddington 2, the second Paddington film has had a successful weekend since it arrived in Chinese theaters on Friday.

Paddington Bear first appeared（登場） on 13 October 1958 in the children's book A Bear Called Paddington, and then kept on his stories in more than one hundred and fifty books by English writer Michael Bond and other artists. The friendly bear from Peru(秘魯)—with his old hat, a coat in English style and love of orange jam—has become one of the most famous bears in Britain. Paddington books have been changed into 30 languages across 70 countries and sold more than 30 million copies(冊,本) around the world.

Paddington is always polite – calling people "Mr", "Mrs" and "Miss", seldom by first names – and kind, though he often looks angrily at those who do bad things. He has an endless ability to get into trouble, but he also tries so hard to get things right. The (human) Brown family found him in Paddington Station, London, and then adopted him. They kindly provide him with food and shelter. Also, the Brown family gives his full name as "Paddington Brown".

64 . To celebrate the first Paddington Bear film, from 4 November until 30 December 2014, people put 50 Paddington statues(雕像) around London to show their love and happiness. The statues were created by artists, designers and superstars.

A.The Paddington bear was friendly and polite.

B.Paddington Bear doesn’t like those who do bad things.

C.To celebrate the second Paddington Bear film, 50 statues were put in Peru.

D.When Paddington sees Jack Brown, he will call him Mr Brown politely.

2.The underlined word "adopted" in Paragraph 3 means .

A.改變 B.收養(yǎng) C.販賣 D.拋棄

A.Paddington Bear hates to play by himself.
