AHalf a year ago, a couple with three children moved into the flat next door to me．I never heard any noise from the children, but the parents were always yelling at them．We often met, I always greeted them, but the only answer I ever got was a “hello” from the eight-year-old girl．One day when I returned from the hospital, the family were just leaving their flat and the little girl was holding the outside gate open for the others．I stayed in the car doing unnecessary things．The parents were telling her to hurry．I looked up and saw the little girl was still holding the door open, waiting for me．I hurried as much as I could and thanked her．She was smiling from ear to ear.That afternoon I was at the supermarket and saw a white teddy bear．I thought of the little girl and said to myself, “I’m sure she would like it.” So I bought it for her.The next day there was a knock on the door and it was the little girl and her father．She was so proud of her bear and thanked me．Then I noticed her mother andthe other children were there in the hall, too．Now when we meet in the hall, we all speak in a friendly manner．Last night there was a heavy snow．The temperature was below zero．I wondered how to go to my doctor’s without a car because I can only walk for a short time and then have to rest for a while．I looked out of the window, thinking what I could do．To my great surprise, there was no snow on my car at all! I was even more surprised to see the lovely girl standing by the gate with an old broom.Isn’t it amazing that the small kind act of an eight-year-old girl can change so many things for the better?（）1．Why did the writer do unnecessary things in his car?A．He did not want to be embarrassed(尴尬的)．B．He did not know how to kill time.C．The weather was cold outside．D．His neighbor yelled at him.（）2．The writer bought a teddy bear to ____________.A．show off his richness B．express his thanksC．please his neighbor D．refuse the help（）3．The underline word “yelling”in the passage probably means _____________.A．knocking B．beating C．shouting D．laughing （）4．What the eight-year-old girl did made the writer feel _____________.A．cold B．sad C．warm D．angry （）5．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Children should be polite to their neighbors．B．More good things come from small acts.C．Your neighbors are not as bad as you think．D．Things can be changed by removing snow.BThe label（标签）, Made in China, is one that is becoming increasingly common in shopping centers all over the world.In the United States, shoppers at Wal-Ma rt, the nation’slargest retailer（零售商）, have a wide selection of products mostlyproduced in China. The large amount of Chinese imports have createda large selection of goods in other countries as people begin tobuy more and more products made in China. These goods are even widely available in other Asian nations, where Chinese-made goods are quite popular. C hinese brand names are also becoming more well-known outside China.When Chinese Americans visit family and friends in their homeland, gifts from the U.S. are a must. But TVs and fashionable clothes aren’t rare any more, and anything “Made in China”shouldn’t be considered in any case.“When I decide to visit my family members in China, I will have a big headache. What should I buy for them? They may not all speak English, but everyone in China knows those three words,” a Chinese American said. “When they see the label ‘Made in China’, they will think, ‘Why do you send me this?’ ”The development of China has surprised the world with its growth. As a result, the other countries are beginning to try to reduce Chinese goods with the use of taxes（税）and import restrictions. However, the development on the Chinese economy still affects the world in many ways.（）6. Around the world, the products made in China are ________ in the shopping malls.A. unwelcomeB. expensiveC. popularD. rare（）7. What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “brand” in the second paragraph?A. 品牌。
