lady with glasses looked up,saying,“Im Miss Bee.Come closer and let me look at you.I want to be able to describe you to the police if something is missing from the store.”“Im only a little girl,not a thief(小偷)!”I was surprised.“But I think youre potential(有可能的),”she said.“I need these,”I said,holding up my list.“So what?I am not a person who works for you.Go to get them.”she said.The store was a puzzle to me.It took me two hours to find everything on the list.“That packet of beans is only 29 cents,but you asked me for 35 cents.”I corrected her.She didnt seem unhappy,just looked at me over her

be glad our paths crossed!”Glad I met Miss Bee?Ha!It was absurd.Until one day my daughter said,“Could you finish my math problems for me?”“How will you ever learn to do it yourself if I do it for

Christmas Eve.When everyone went to bed,Bunny couldnt fall asleep.He still couldnt think of what he wanted as a special Christmas present.He wondered how Santa Father Christmas would know what to bring him if he didnt know himself.As he was sitting up in bed,Bunny heard a big noise on the roof(屋顶)and a sound downstairs.It was Santa Claus,he realized.Bunny jumped out of bed and ran down the hall to the stairs.He hoped to take a look at the old man before Santa left for his next stop.By the time Bunny was at the bottom of the stairs,everything was silent again.Lots of presents were put under the Christmas tree,but Santa was gone.A little disappointed(失望的),Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry.“Hello,”said Bunny.“Is somebody there?”He was answered by another cry.Bunny looked around the big pile of presents to see what was making the noise.Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and sad eyes.It also had antlers(鹿角)on its head.Bunny almost mistook it for a dog.“Are you a reindeer?”asked Bunny.“Yes,”replied the brown animal with antlers.“My name is Ralph.”“And you were pulling Santas sled(雪橇)?”“I was until I got air-sick,”replied Ralph.“Santa had to leave me here and go on with the other seven reindeer.”“Isnt it a bit unusual for a reindeer to get air-sick?I mean,isnt flying what reindeer are famous for?”“Not me,Im afraid.It makes me scared.I always feel sick when it comes to flying,”replied Ralph.“But everyone wanted me to pull Santas sled,so when it was my turn I gave it a try.Im afraid I just wasnt cut out for the job.Now Im stuck here and I dont know how to get back to the North Pole.”“Well,if you like,you can stay with us as a friend,”said Bunny.As he made the offer,Bunny suddenly realized the

Christmas Eve D.Santa knows what presents children want without being told D In Western society,especially in the English-speaking world,the chance for young people to see the other countries and experience life is considered important.Many young people,when they finish school at the age of 18,take a gap year before they go to university.Parents often want their children to grow up a little and see what the real world is like when they finish school.Although they are worried about their safety,many think that the advantages of independence and experience are worth the worries.Children are encouraged to be brave,independent and to explore the world on their own or with friends.Young people also want to experience freedom and see what life is like on the other side.This other side could be the other side of the world or just the other side of life.For example,if they have a rich life,they may want to see how people in poor areas live.A gap year after school is also an important chance for young people to spend time thinking about what they want to do with their lives.A little bit of growing up and experience will help them make their important career decisions,especially when they are unsure about what they want to study.Another reason for going straight after school is to get a break from studying before they start the next few years of university.So anywhere you travel in the world,you will meet young European people exploring the world.So much of the world has been travelled and explored.The young people are now looking for more worthy experiences.Some of them work as volunteers to do something for the country they are visiting.Many gap year volunteers are now spending a few months teaching English in Thailand,helping feed giant pandas in China or building a well(井)in a village in Africa.These young peoples wish to explore the world is an expression of the values of the societies that they are part of.Both discovering the world and making a positive difference in it are important parts of the Western mind.42.Which is NOT a reason for young people to take a gap year?A.Young people want to take a break from studying.B.Young people want to be sure about what to study.C.Parents encourage them to be brave and independent.D.Parents encourage them to live a free and wealthy life.43.Now a gap year volunteer might do something more valuable like_.A.experiencing different cultures B.helping protect rain forests in Brazil C.making friends with more people D.enjoying traditional local food 44.By taking a gap year,young people may_.A.stay with their parents all the time B.make money for their further study C.help change the world for the better D.change the Western mind completely 45.The purpose of writing this article is to _.A.show different opinions about gap year B.offer readers information about gap year C.discover new ways to take a gap year D.tell young people when to take a gap year 第四大题 信息还原（共 5 小题:每小题 1 分，满分 5
