Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格內(nèi)填入適當?shù)脑~，使其內(nèi)容通順。每空格限填一詞，首字母已給)：

Early on Saturday morning. Many of the world are still in bed, enjoying another hours or two of sleep. But a few of Americans are up and r1.to go. They plan to be the first to arrive at the yard-sales. What are these yard-sale shoppers looking for? Secondhand things, of course. Yard-sale shoppers aren’t the only people who like used goods. From Australia to the USA, westerners love to buy other people’s things. E2. the rich people look for an antique (古玩) among used goods. Some people buy used goods to save money, others do that to c3. antiques.

How old is old?

For those in Asia. 5, 000-year-old antiques sit in museums. Western antiques are not so old. But American goods even more than twenty years old have value. An ice-cream maker from the 1920s could be $50.S4. from World War I could sell for $4,000 or more.

Some people own old things because they want to make money from them. They go to classes and read books to learn which goods will have more value or are liked by collectors. Others simply buy old things they think interesting. Those who do not want to make money from the old goods say, “Don't buy it u5. it's useful.”

Where to find them?

Secondhand goods can be found in a variety of places. Saturday morning yard sales are the r6. places for those who start to take up the hobby. The flea(跳蚤)market is another place. You won't find fleas, but you may find a wide variety of old things.

Shopping at a flea market for the first time is not easy. You have to look t7. things patiently and carefully to find something you really want.

D.Answer the questions （根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容回答問題）

“Oh boys, don’t throw stones at the poor bird,” said an old grey-headed man, “Sir,” said a little fellow, “she makes such a loud noise that we can’t suffer from her.” “Yes, but she uses the voice which nature gave her, and I am afraid the stone will rebound（彈回）, and hurt you as long as you live!” “Rebound! We don’t understand you, sir!” “Well, come and I will tell you a story.”

“Fifty years ago, I was a boy like you. I used to throw stones until I became very accurate. One day I went to work for an old couple. They were very kind to everybody and everything. Few had so many birds making their nests under the roofs of their houses. The birds seemed to love the couple. For seven years a bird had come, after the long winter was over, and built her nest in the same place, and raised her young chicks there. She and her mate had just returned when I went there to work, and the couple welcomed them heartily. The bird hopped hopped about as if glad to be back. During the day, I thought I would try my skill upon her. She sat on a pole and looked at me trustfully. I found a nice stone, and I threw it with my utmost skill. It struck the bird on the head and she droped dead!”

“I was sorry when I saw her fall. But the deed was done. I said nothing to the old couple about it. But one of their grandchildren told them what I had done. Though the couple never said a word to me, I knew that they were deeply saddened by my cruelty. I could never look at them in the face afterwards. Oh, that I should have told them how sorry I was!”

“They have been dead many years, and so has the poor bird; but don’t you see how that stone rebounded, and hit me? How much the memory of it has hurt me! My dear boys, I would pay a great deal today if I could release from my present feeling! For fifty years I have remembered it. I have never spoken of it before; but if what my words will prevent you from throwing a stone that may rebound, I will be happy.”

1.What kind of skill did the author get when he was a boy?

2.How can we know that the bird was happy to meet the couple again?

3.Why couldn’t the author look at the couple in the face afterwards?

4.According to the author, what would hurt the boy for lifetime if he threw stones at the bird?

5.Why did the author tell his story to the boy?

6.What would the boy probably do after hearing the author’s words? (At least two things)
