He also asks the restaurant workers to tell the customer to have a great day, in case they’re not already having one.Oliver has never made a big deal out of his own generous actions until a letter was published by a news website in November. He found out that he had not just bought someone his breakfast —he had saved a life.According to the website, someone had written a letter stating that on July 18th, he was planning on committing suicide. The writer said that while he was at the drive-through window, he was planning on going home, writing a note and ending his life. When he went to pay for his coffee and muffin, however, the cashier told him that the man in the SUV in front of him had picked up the tab and told him to have a great day.“I wondered why someone would buy coffee for a stranger for no reason,” said the writer. “Why me? Why today? If I were a religious man, I would take this as a sign. This random act of kindness wa s directed at me on this day for a purpose.”When the writer arrived home, he couldn’t hold back his tears and started to think about the simple good deed that had affected him so deeply. “I decided at that moment to change my plans for the day and do something nice for someone. I ended up helping a neighbor take groceries out of her car and into the house.”The writer says that in the months following that fateful event, he does at least one kind thing for others every day. “To the nice man in the SUV, th ank you from the bottom of my heart.

Target, the second-largest discount retailer (折扣零售店) in the US, announced in 2015 that it would get rid of signs labeling toys for boys or for girls. A UK campaign called Let Toys Be Toys seeks to get retailers to stop dividing toys and books for one gender (性别) only.Researchers have worried about the effect of having toys that were so segregated (分开的) by gender for some time, says Lisa Dinella, associate professor at Monmouth University.Clearly divided pink and blue toys — with dolls and tea sets on one side and trucks and building blocks on the other — are actually a pretty recent development. As recently as the 1970s, toys sold in the US were not always marketed with clear gender distinctions. By the 1980s and 1990s, however, toys started to become more gender segregated, though it was still not so sharply divided as today, says Elizabeth Sweet, a lecturer in sociology at the University of California, Davis.While it may seem like a small issue, toys help children to develop new skills, says Dinella. Dolls and pretend kitchens are good at teaching kids early language skills. Building blocks like Lego and puzzles teach skills related to space, which help set the groundwork for learning math. “Both genders lose out if we put kids on one track and they can't explore,” says Dinella.Some parents try to introduce other types of toys and get away from the strictly pink and blue divide. But it's difficult for parents to ignore the marketing and get their kids toys or costumes meant for the other gender, says Dinella. While some parents try to broaden the toys their children are exposed to, there is often a social cost to the child for crossing gender bounda ries. “So it is hard for parents to throw out the rules,” she says.Researchers hope that one day, toys will stop being broken up by gender and will instead be categorized (分类) by type, like puzzle toys, dolls or children's bikes. Toy choices, Sweet says, should be based on kids' personal interests, and not on their gender.12. What trend is described in the first paragraph?A. Offering different toys to boys and girls.B. Giving kids more time to play with toys.C. Making more colorful toys for kids.D. Ending the gender divide in toys.13. How will the pink-and-blue toy divide affect kids according to Dinella?A. Helping them develop in a quite normal way.B. Making them better communicate with others.C. Urging them to master more knowledge and skills.D. Causing them to miss many opportunities to learn.14. What is hard for the parents mentioned by Dinella?A. Buying kids toys at relatively low prices.B. Buying kids toys aimed at the other gender.C. Buying kids new types of toys.D. Buying kids high-quality toys.15. What might be Sweet's attitude to Target's decision?A. Supportive.B. Doubtful.C. Uncaring.D. Curious.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
