Jenny was almost five. Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw a circle of white peals in a box. “Oh please, Mommy .Can I have them? Please, mommy, please!”

Quickly the mother checked the back of the little box and said ,” That’s almost $2.00. If you really like them, I’ll think of some extra chores for you and in no time you can save enough money to buy them for yourself.”

Then Jenny began doing more chores at home and did housework for neighbors. On her birthday, Grandma gave her another new dollar bill and she had enough money to buy the necklace.

Jenny loved her pearls. She wore them everywhere, even to bed.

Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed, he would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to read her a story. One night when he finished the story, he asked Jenny, “Do you love me?”

“Oh yes, Daddy. You know that I love you.”

“Then give me your pearls.”

“Oh, Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have my Princess.”

“That’s okay, Honey. Daddy loves you. Good night. ”And he brushed her cheek with a kiss.

About a week later, after the story time, Jenny’s daddy asked for the pearls again. And Jenny refused him again.

A few nights later when her daddy came in, Jenny was sitting on her bed with her legs crossed. As he came close, he noticed one silent tear rolling down her cheek.

“What is it, Jenny? What’s the matter?”

Jenny didn’t say anything but lifted her little hand up to her daddy. And when she opened it, there was her little necklace. She finally said, “Here, Daddy. It’s for you.”

With tears gathering in his own eyes, Jenny’s kind daddy reached out with one hand to take the dime-store necklace, and with the other hand to reach into his pocket and pull out a blue case with genuine(真的) pearls and gave them to Jenny. He had had them all the time. He was just waiting for her to give up the dime-store stuff so he could give her the genuine treasure.

67. What did Jenny want to own?

I'll be the first to admit that I am a technophobe(對技術(shù)有恐懼感的人）.Who would have guessed that a website would help repay a 20-year-old loan?

     I'1l always remember my last day at school. My best friend, Jenny, had organized a party in the Sixth

Form Common Room;

     Jenny asked me to go to the supermarket with her to buy all the snacks. "I'm really looking forward to this party, Stingy," she said. Everyone called me Stingy instead of Debbie because they thought I didn't like to spend money. Actually, it was true.

       "There's lots of money in the kitty(零星湊起的一筆錢）. Let's go crazy!" Going crazy meant buying enough snacks to feed an army. It came to ￡ 19.90,which was a lot of money in 1982.

       Jenny gave me a guilty( 內(nèi)疚的) look. "I've left-the kitty money in the common room. Can you pay and I'll give you back the money?"

       "Sure," I replied, trying to look relaxed. ' Neither a lender or a borrower be' was my motto but I didn't want to look stingy(小氣). I gave ￡20 to the impatient shop assistant.

       Well, the Party was a great success. So great that I completely forgot about my loan until I was flying to America the next day.  I was going to live with my uncle's family until I started university.

       I tried to get in touch with Jenny but her family had moved. My ￡20 was lost. Until...

       I'd heard about a website called Friends Reunited which helped people contact old school friends.  My husband helped me log on and find my school. There she was,Jenny Frost.

       I'm now married with a beautiful daughter called Debbie. Does anyone know how to get in touch with Debbie 'Stingy' Jones? I still owe her ￡20!

        We met two months later and the ￡20 was returned, plus interest(利息)of course. After all, I'm a bank manager now, so loans are my business.

Why did Jenny spend a lot of money on the snacks?                                                       A. Debbie had money.                                             B. There was money she could use.

  C. She wanted Debbie to stop being stingy.         D. She wanted to be crazy.

How did Debbie get her money at last?                                                      

A. Her husband found Jenny. B. Jenny had a website on the Internet.

  C. Debbie met Jenny.           D. Debbie put a message on the Friends Reunited website.

We know from the passage that Jenny       .                            

   A. liked parties at school and felt guilty about borrowing money

   B. had fun at school but soon forgot about her school friends

   C. forgot her best friend at school until she saw the Friends Reunited website

   D. was forgetful about the money

My six-year-old granddaughter stared at me as if she were seeing me for the first time.”Grandma, you are an antique(古董),”she said. "You are old. Antiques are old. You are my antique."
I was not satisfied to let the matter rest there. I took out the Webster's Dictionary and read the definition(定義)to Jenny.I explained, "An antique is not only old, it's an object existing since or belonging to earlier times...a work of art... piece of furniture. Antiques are treasured,"I told Jenny as I put away the dictionary. "They have to be handled carefully because they sometimes are very valuable. In order to qualify as an antique, the object has to be at least 100 years old."
"I'm only 67,"I renunded Jenny.
We looked around the house for other antiques, besides me. There was a desk that was handed down from rone aunt to another and finally to our family. "It's very old,"I told Jenny.“I try to keep it polished and I show it off whenever I can. You do that with antiques."
There was a picture on the wall purchased at a garage sale. It was dated 1867. "Now  that's an antique," I boasted. "Over 100 years old." Of course it was marked up and scratched and not in very good condition. "Sometimes age does that," I told Jenny. "But the marks are good marks. They show living, being around. That's something to display with pride. In fact, sometimes, the more an object shows age, the more valuable it can become." It was important that I believed this for my own self-esteem.
Our tour of antiques continued. There was a vase on the floor. It had been in my house for a long time. I was not certain where it came from but I didn't buy it new. One thing about antiques, I explained to Jenny, was that they usually had a story. They'd been in one home and then another, handed down from one family to another, traveling all over the place. They'd lasted through years and years. They could have been tossed away, or ignored. or destroyed, or lost. But instead, they survived.
For a moment, Jenny looked thoughtful. “l(fā) don't have any antiques but you," she said. Then her face brightened. "Could I take you to school for show and tell?"
"Only if I fit into your backpack," I answered. And then Jenny's antique lifted her up and embraced her in a hug that would last through the years.
【小題1】Grandma read the definition of "antique" to Jenny in order to         .

A．list all the important characteristics of antiques
B．tell Jenny the importance of protecting antiques
C．change Jenny's shallow understanding of antiques
D．express her disappointment at being called "antique"
【小題2】Which of the following information did grandma convey to Jenny?
A．The desk reminded her of her dear relatives.
B．The marks on the picture showed its age and value.
C．There was usually a sad story behind each antique.
D．She planned to buy a new vase to replace the old one.
【小題3】By saying "I don't have any antiques but you" (Paragraph 7), Jenny meant         .
A．grandma was a treasure to her
B．a(chǎn)ntiques were rare and valuable
C．she had nothing but a few possessions
D．grandma and antiques had a lot in common
【小題4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Grandma was too old to lift Jenny up.
B．Jenny had a strong desire for grandma's love.
C．Jenny was too young to know grandma's humor.
D．Grandma had a deep long-lasting love for Jenny.
【小題5】What can be the best title for the passage? 
A．Jenny's AntiqueB．A Story of Antiques
C．A Tour of AntiquesD．Grandma's Antique
