Ella was such a good artist, her lines so sure, that no 21 students in the art class was 22 to win.

Still Frank had got the 26 and the Board of Governors had given it to him at a big dinner in the Rits Hotel.
Ella was a rather shy girl but her classmates seldom thought of her to be shy. She was pretty and clever and 27 very well with everyone. She liked her school. She was very fond of her art teacher, Miss Drake, which was 28_, because she always seemed to be her favorite.

It’s lunch time. You’re hungry and want to get your favourite meal in the restaurant, but there are a queue of people reaching the door. Don’t worry--- in cyberworld, you can get your meal just in a few clicks.
“ Shopping has never been so easy. With just a single click on your mouse, anything that you order online can be taken to your door soon,” said Bian Jing, who is twenty years old. She took part in an online survival competition held in Beijing. Each competitor had to go online and buy enough food and drinks to last them for 100 hours and used the little money given.
“ I don’t want to spend too much time shopping, so I do it online rather than in an ordinary store,” said a girl from a middle school. “ It’s easy to find the things you want online as they have catalogues.”
Shoppers who go online can also find lower prices and wider choices of things they want to buy. But many teachers and parents are worried that online shopping is becoming too popular.
“ It’s not a good way for middle school students to spend their money,” said a teacher. “I don’t like them to shop online.” As all the students’ money is from their parents, it’s said that they aren’t ready to pay for what they have bought online. “ There’s also the danger that they’ll lose the money at some online stores,” one of the teachers said.
Most parents, though, don’t want to pay the bills when their children spend too much on the Internet. “ I hate having to pay unexpected bills,” said one father. “ But my son always surprises me with them.”

( ) 33. Why are most parents worried about shopping online?
A. They hate the Internet.
B. The quality of the goods online isn’t good.
C. They are afraid that their children spent too much money.
D. Their children will spend too much time shopping instead of studying.
( ) 34. Why is it easier to find the things you want online than in an ordinary strore?

In the United States, the process of naming a school often involves parents and the public as well as elected school leaders. Reseachers say school names can show civic values and also shape them. For example, naming a school after a historic person becomes a way to teach students about that person’s importance in history.
A new study examines the naming of American public schools. The study is from the Manhattan Institute. The study shows that fewer and fewer schools are being named after people. Instead, more schools are being named after the local area or natural features like hills, trees or animals.
They looked at seven states with twenty percent of all public school students in the country. They found similar results in every starte: new schools are less likely to be named after people. This is true especially with presidents. For example, in Florida, out of almost three thousand public schools, the report says five honor George Washington, the nation’s first president. Eleven honor the manatee,an endangered sea animal found in that state.
School officials say they try to choose names that will not offend anyone. For example, a few years ago, the city of New Orleans banned the naming of any school after a person who owned slaves. Other school systems have rules against naming new schools after any person, living or dead.
The researchers say naming a school after a person can lead to important debates about democratic values. They call for more research to identify the causes and effects of the changes in school nanmes. The causes may include changes in American culture as well as in the politial control of school systems.

Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office. “ The railway owes me $12,” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office. “ You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me $12.”
Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “ Come into the office, madam,” he said politely. “ I’ll check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”
The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “ You look sunburnt,” he said to her. “ Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”
“Yes”, she answered, shyly. “ The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!”
“ That’s fine,” said Harry. “ My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she is only three.”
“ I am four,” the child said proudly. “ I will be four and a half.”
Harry turned to the mother. “ I remember your ticket, madam,” he said. “ But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”
“ Er, well…” the woman looked at the child. “ I mean… she hasn’t started school yet. She is only four.”
“ A four-year-old child must have a ticket, madam. A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs… let me see…$13.5. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe $1.5. The law is law, but since the fault was mine…”.
