It's very common to meet different people in public places.
When I was  12 years old,I got a small job in a    16 ,On my first day at work,I didn't come home for lunch. When I came home at night, Mum asked, “How did you    17  your lunch, dear?”I answered,“I made some new friends in the supermarket, twin brothers, their mom and dad. They were my customers. They invited me   18  lunch."
Mum was happy that I had made new friends but she wanted to know what kinds of   19 they might be.
Several days later,I asked my friends to come to the supermarket where l worked   20 let Mum meet them. Mum was very    21   to find out that the twin brothers were joined at the chest（胸部）.She felt very strange because I didn't tell her about that before.
When Mum asked me about this,I said,“I know that too. But do you know that their mom has to make all clothes because it's    22   difficult to find anything to fit them? They're also good    23   .That day, Joe, the one on the right, made me noodles for lunch."
When Mum saw the twins, she must have thought how strange they    24    .But to me,what I cared about was that they had difficulty——25    clothes and they were good cooks.

Have you ever noticed that your fingertips are winked when you’ve just finished swimming or washing dishes? It seems as if your hands have aged 30 years in a second. But is this an accident? Or is it something that nature has built into our bodies?
If your finger’s wrinkling up had no use at all, “ it wouldn’t need to.” Professor Tom Smulders from Newcastle University, UK, told BBC News. By studying wet fingers closely, Smulders and his partners found that the wrinkles looked a bit like the patterns on the car tire or on the bottom of the running shoes. So they made a guess that wrinkles on fingers might be able to help the hand hold things more tightly.
To test this, researchers asked 20 people to pick up marbles from water with their hands. But before they started, some of the people had to keep their hands in water for half an hour.
The researchers found that the people with wrinkled fingers completed the task the task faster than those with dry hands. But when they were asked to move dry marbles, all the people performed equally well, no matter they had the wrinkled fingers or not.
Our ancestors might not have played with marbles, but wrinkled fingers could have made it easier for them to climb around in the wet forests and catch fish from rivers, researchers say.
Similarly, our toes also get wrinkled in water. This may have developed from our ancestor’s need to run on wet ground.
But the question is, if wrinkled fingers are so helpful, why don’t our hands just stay that way all the time? Researchers explained that wrinkling has its disadvantage: wet fingertips are far less sensitive than smooth ones, reducing our sense of touch.
小題1:What does the underlined world “this ” in the third paragraph refer to?
A．Whether fingers have wrinkles after they are put in water.
B．Whether wrinkled fingers can hold things more tightly.
C．Why keeping things in water makes them wrinkled.
D．Why wrinkles help hands hold things more tightly.
小題2:The test shows that ________.
A．winkled hands hold dry things more tightly than dry hands do.
B．dry hands hold dry things more tightly than wrinkled hands do.
C．winkled hands hold wet things more tightly than dry hands do.
D．dry hands hold wet things more tightly than wrinkled hands do.
小題3:What might be the disadvantage of wrinkled fingers?
A．They are too sensitive to be touched.
B．They might be more likely to get hurt.
C．They cannot hold things tightly enough.
D．They are not so sensitive as dry fingers.

For as long as I can remember, Grandma's plentiful tomato garden has been a sign of summer's end. Each September, just as the decreased heat of the sun suggests cooler days, Grandma requests my help in her tomato garden. She convinces me she cannot pick tomatoes without my youthful eyes and quick mind. She says we need to examine each tomato and agree on its readiness for picking. While Grandma's request for my help in the tomato garden is always the same, her desire for my help seems to increase each year.
Grandma has eyes for finding even the tomatoes hidden by undergrowth and other tomatoes. I, however, just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma will like. I spot what looks like a ripe tomato, head in its direction, and then get sidetracked by another that appears to be equally ripe. I usually end up watching Grandma and trying to stay out of her way, which seems the only way my eyes and mind are useful.

I already know it will end up in the basket with the pile of others Grandma has carefully chosen. However, Grandma acts as if she needs a final look to be sure. She calls me to her side. kneels beside the vine while enjoying the warmth of the fading hand. She turns each round, red ball toward the sunlight before disconnecting it from the vine with a half-hearted smile.

Are two holidays not enough? Do you dream of three, or even four? 小題1:這不再是夢想! Last month, the State Council(國務院) encouraged primary and high schools to give students a spring or autumn break without changing the total number of student vacation days.
Students in China currently only have long holidays in two seasons —summer and winter. These holidays are usually 10 to 12 weeks in total.“If we had spring and autumn breaks, 小題2:I would have time to taste all four seasons instead of burying (埋) myself in my studies,”Gao Yiran, a 15-year-old boy told China Daily. Seasonal holidays during autumn and spring may be something new in China, but not in other countries.
In the US, students usually have three holidays. Summer holiday is the longest one, and runs from mid-June until early September. Summer camp is one of kids’ favorite places to go to, where they can make new friends and try some new activities. Winter holiday starts from mid-December and ends in early January. Most kids and their parents go to spend time together over the Christmas period. Spring break comes in mid- March and 小題3:it is usually a 10-day holiday.
Schools in Japan start in April, as most people think that spring is the perfect time for new things. For school children ,summer holiday lasts from July 20 to August 31. Most kids are busy with club activities including sports and dancing. Spring break starts at the end of March and continues till early April. It is a good chance for a short family trip around the city.
