      Shay and his father had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball.
Shay asked, "Do you think they'll let me play?" Shay's father knew that most of the boys would not
want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son,mentally and
physically disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him a muchneeded sense of belonging and
some confidence.
     Shay's father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting
much.The boy looked around and said,"We're losing by six runs (分) and the game is in the eighth
inning (局). I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the final inning."
     Shay struggled over to the team's bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had
a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart.The boys saw the father's joy at his son being accepted.
     In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three.In the
top of the final inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the field.Even though no hits came his way, he
was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field.In the bottom of the final inning, Shay's team
scored again.Now, Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.Would they let Shay bat and give away their
chance to win the game?
     Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat.Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible.The first pitch (投) came and Shay missed.The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards
Shay.As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.
     The pitcher could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out and
that would have been the end of the game.Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the
first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates.The audience and the players from both teams started
screaming," Shay, run to first!" Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base,
wideeyed and shocked.
     Everyone shouted," Run to second !" Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second.By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time, could have thrown the ball to the second baseman, but he understood the pitcher's intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman's head.
     All were screaming, "Shay, Shay, Shay, all the way Shay." Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted, "Shay, run to third." As Shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying, "Shay, run home!" Shay ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who won the game for his team.
    That day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world.Shay didn't make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!

1. Not expecting much, Shay's father still asked the boy if Shay could play, mainly because the
     father ________.

A. noticed some of the boys on the field were hesitating
B. guessed his presence would affect the boys' decision
C. learned some of the boys on the field knew Shay well

B. would like to help Shay enjoy the game
C. found Shay was so eager to be a winner
D. felt forced to give Shay another chance

3. The smallest boy threw the ball high and far over the third baseman's head, probably because
    that boy ________.

A. was obviously aware of the pitcher's purpose
B. looked forward to winning the game for his team

　　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.
