already played difficult classical pieces. He was just seven when he sat down at the piano, and could play

　　For many people, one of the pleasures of traveling abroad is buying the arts and crafts of a foreign culture. English tourists in Hong Kong, for example, like Chinese arts and crafts because they think they are exotic. Even things as common as a pair of chopsticks a mah-jong set or a name stamp, are popular items for visiting tourists. They are typical examples of Chinese culture which make attractive ornaments(裝飾品) for the home and good presents for friends.

　　So when Philip Wong and his sister Anna left school and tock over their father's tourist shop in Tsim Sha Tsui, they were not surprised to find that many tourists were interested in these small, relatively inexpensive goods. “Even so, we found that business was not really very good. We had a lot of competition and only made a small profit on most of the items we sold,” said Philip. “Then Anna had the idea of selling arts and crafts from other countries as well!”

　　The pair went on a shopping trip around the Southeast Asian area, making contracts in Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. They bought jewelry, clothes and art work in all these countries and displayed them in a special section of their shop. They were surprised to see how popular these goods were-not only among foreign tourists, but also with local people.

　　Now they have opened a new shop in North Point which sells goods from many more countries, including some in European and South America. The shop is specially with Hong Kong people such as businessmen, who travel abroad a lot, but never have the time to buy gifts while they are away. “Actually some of our customers just want to impress their friends by pretending that they have actually visited the country,” added Anna with a smile.

1．What does the underlined word “exotic” in the first paragraph mean?

[　　]

A．Strange and unusual.

B．Common and popular.

C．Pretty and attractive.

D．Strange but usual.

2．Why did Philip say they cold make little money from their business?

[　　]

A．Because there are too many traders in their business field.

B．Because their goods are not good enough.

C．Because they are not allowed to get high profit.

D．Because they don't know how to make a big profit from their business.

3．Who were surprised at the goods in a special section of the shop?

[　　]

A．Philip and Anna.

B．Tourists.

C．Philip, Anna and local residents.

D．Both travelers abroad and people in Hong Kong.

4．What do you think of some trade-men who buy some articles in Hong Kong?

[　　]

A．They want to make themselves understand that they've visited the country.

B．They have not got enough money to get them in the country they are visiting.

C．They find no time to get them while they are visiting the country.

D．Though they travel a lot, they never think they should buy some of the articles at all.
