One day, my mother and I went shopping at a Chinese supermarket. We found that the crucian carps(鲫鱼)in the seafood counter were very fresh, as a result we chose four crucian carps and handed them over to the seller. As it would take some time to clean the fish and dispose of their internal organs(处理内脏）, we decided to look around the other places first. When we came back to the seafood counter, I asked the seller for my fish. He raised one, which was being cleaned, to let me have a look and tell me he was still working on the fish. I hurriedly said, "Go ahead. Go ahead." I meant for him to go on.

To my surprise, the seller stopped his work, looking at me with puzzled (困惑的) expression, and asked me," Go ahead?”“Yes," I said, "go ahead". He pointed at the fish in all seriousness, and repeated very seriously, "Head?" Paying no more attention to him, I turned back to chat with my mother. Suddenly," Bang, bang, bang," was heard from the counter. Quickly, the seller passed the four fish without heads to me.

I asked loudly, "Why did you cut all the heads off?" The seller was also very angry and said, "Didn't you tell me to go ahead again and again?"On hearing what he said I felt funny as well as angry. It turned out that he considered "go ahead" as "cut the head off". No wonder he asked me several times about it!

1. The writer went to ____ with her mother that day.

A. a restaurant　　 B. a beach

C. a supermarket D. a park

2.What does "Go ahead" mean in this passage?

A.Go on cleaning the fish.

B. Continue walking.

C.Cut off the heads of the fish.

D. Go around.

3.The seller cut all the heads off because ____.

A. the writer asked him to do so

B. he was angry with the writer

C. he wanted to cut off the heads

D. he didn't understand what the writer said

One day, I saw a boy shop alone at the shop I worked. He chose some school things he wanted and went to the checkout (付款台).

The young shop assistant (店员) told him he needed to pay $37.60. The boy became very sad and said he only had $20. He took out one thing at a time, and at last he got down to his $20. With eyes full of tears, he asked if he could call his mom to pick him up. When he got through, it seemed that his mom was too busy to pick him up in a minute.

He tried to stop the tears and walked outside to wait on the chair in front of the shop. This was too much for the young assistant. She kept looking outside to see if the boy was all right. Then she said, “I wish I could pay for the rest (剩余部分) of his things.” One of the other girls said she had a few dollars. Then two others said they could help, too.

These four young girls pooled their money and found they had more than enough to pay for the boy's things. Then they chose more school things, and gave them all to the boy. The boy laughed happily. His mom arrived much later, but he didn't just run to the car; he ran back into the shop and called out, “Thank you!”

I was so proud (骄傲的) of my team that day. They did something wonderful for that boy and also found the pleasure (快乐) of giving.

It happened two years ago. It was Mother’s Day morning. I was doing my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the ground. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed (尴尬的) and clearly in shock. Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very sad about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”

At the front of the supermarket a charity group had set up a stand selling fish and chips and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,” he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture (姿势).”

By now paramedics (救援人员) had arrived, and were attending the injured (受伤的) woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment (器具). He said he didn’t want to go up to her.

Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him, “My son was very sad for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”

At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”

The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson.

B.Tenyson’s idea of buying a flower got his mother’s support.

C.Tenyson’s care for the elderly woman surprised the flower seller.

D.The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson’s gesture.

2.The underlined word “intimidated” in the passage probably means “___________”.

A.surprised B.pleased C.frightened D.excited

3.Choose the right order of the events given in the story. _________

a. The paramedics arrived and attended the injured woman.　

b. We bought a flower for the lady to cheer her up.

c. I did some shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son.

d. My son became very sad about what had happened to the couple.

e. An elderly woman fell over at the entrance.

A.c, e, a, b, d B.a, c, e, d, b C.c, a, e, d, b D.c, e, d, b, a
