Last month the manager of a jewelry shop (珠宝店) received a letter. As he was very busy then, the letter lay on his desk till tea-time. He opened it and a 10-pound note fell out onto the desk. Within the note was a letter which said:
Dear sir:
In 1935 I got engaged(订婚). But unluckily I lost my job. At the time a lot of people were out of work. Six months later I got a job again, but of course I was very short of money. I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring(婚戒). The assistant took out some rings for me to look at, but she was called away for a moment, and I put one of the rings in my pocket. When she came back, I said I didn’t know the size of my girl’s finger. So I left the shop without buying a ring. My wife died a short time ago and the fact that I never paid for the ring has been heavy in my heart all these years. At that time, the ring cost 2 pounds so I think it is 10 pounds at today’s price and I’m sending 10 pounds.
Yours,
A customer (顾客)

Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there’s too much to read these days, and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills (技巧) to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are very good.
Preview — if it’s long and hard. Previewing is very useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and science reports.
Here is how to preview.
●Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs (段落) carefully.
●Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.
Previewing doesn’t give you all the details. It tells you not to spend time on things you don’t really want or need to read.
Skim — if it’s short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading, like popular magazines or the sports of your daily paper.
Here’s how to skim.
●Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.
●Pick up only a few key words in each line.
Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but perhaps we’ll get the same idea of what it’s all about.
( ) 8. How many skills are talked about in this passage?
A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.
( ) 9．What does the underlined word “preview” mean in Chinese?
A．精读 B．默读 C．朗读 D．略读
( ) 10．What should we NOT do when we read the news about sports events in a daily paper according to the passage?
A．Get our eyes to move fast. B．Read the last two paragraphs carefully.
C．Sweep our eyes across each line. D．Pick up only a few key words in each line.
( ) 10．What is the best title (标题) for this passage?
A．Why we should read B．What to read
C．When to read D．How to read faster
(D)
A few weeks ago, a friend from an unknown Smile Group sent me $120 to do good things with. Since then I have used the money in the UK and US. It has helped families and strangers, and generally raised a lot of smiles. They have warmed my heart, but none so much as the gift I was able to give just an hour ago.
I was in a charity shop, looking at the second-hand books. It happened that the bookshelves were next to the toy shelf. I noticed a group of poorly dressed women standing behind me. As they looked through the clothes shelf, a little girl about three years old came over to the toy shelf. Immediately her attention was caught by a toy pram(手推车). She spoke to her mother and her mother asked the shop assistant how much it cost. $3 was the answer.
The mum looked down at her child, perhaps thinking what she still had to buy and how much money she would have left. Then she shook her head. The child didn’t behave(表现) as badly as some might. Being told “no” was not new for her but she couldn’t keep the disappointment（失望） from her face.
I had a total of $5 in my pocket. I touched the mother on the shoulder, put the money in her hand and said, “ Buy her a doll too.”
I didn’t wait to see the end. After all, it was not about being thanked. I walked out of the shop and into the sunshine.
The money the friend gave me was to help me find happiness of the world. Was there any better way, I wondered, to get so much happiness for so little money than to buy a little girl a toy pram and doll to sit in it?

A. because she didn’t want to behave badly in public
B. because she knew her mother didn’t have enough money

D. because she got used to being refused
14. The reason why the writer didn’t wait to see the end was that________________.
A. he had no money then B. he had already finished his task
C. he was afraid the other women might ask him for help D. he was in a hurry
15. What does the writer think of his helping the little girl?
