My best friend and I were in the shop that she owns. It was the middle of the afternoon. We were both very happy and making plans for the weekend. Suddenly a man entered the shop. We knew that he didn’t look like one of our usual customers, but we welcomed him _  __ anyway. Without any hesitation he pulled something out of his coat. We didn’t notice that it was a __  __ until he ordered us to go into the back with him.
After he warned us that he could fire at any time, he looked for the money everywhere, in the bank, from our wallets, and then he asked for our jewellery (珠寶) and we gave him all he wanted. Finally, he finished his “job” and left.
When I was a child, I felt safe with my parents in my home or wherever I was not alone. Then I began to understand the news and I learnt that __  __ things were happening “out there”, but I still kept thinking that those events were just other people’s __  __, not mine. From the moment the man walked out of the shop, I completely ___  ___. I always look around to see which kinds of people are possibly following me. Now I usually double-check everything: if I’ve locked myself in the car or in the house. I am always careful not to wear any jewellery. Whenever a stranger is getting too close or is trying to get information from me, I feel nervous. I know that it is wrong, and that not everyone is going to _  __ me again.
After all, I consider myself lucky, since nothing really bad happened to me or my friend, but since that day I haven’t felt safe any more. I hate that man not for having taken my jewellery and money, but for having deprived（剝奪）of my innocence.

小題1:考查副詞及語(yǔ)境理解。句意：我們知道他不是那種我們常來(lái)的顧客，但是我們還是歡迎他。Sadly悲傷地； quietly安靜地；angrily生氣地； politely有禮貌地。根據(jù)單詞所在句子的意思與“歡迎”相對(duì)的只能用“politely”。 .根據(jù)上下文可知無(wú)論如何也要禮貌的歡迎他。所以本題答案為D。
小題2:考查名詞及語(yǔ)境理解。句意：毫不猶豫他從衣服里掏出東西。我們直到他命令我們跟他到后面才注意這是一支槍。gun 槍； note  便條；mistake錯(cuò)誤；knife刀。根據(jù)he pulled out something out of his coat. 可推測(cè)是一把槍。所以本題的答案為A。

Have you ever had an embarrassing（尷尬的）experience? Last week we asked readers to tell us about embarrassing experiences.  We received thousands of letters! Here is a selection.
Tony:
My most embarrassing experience happened when I had just left university. I had just started teaching in a Liverpool secondary school. One morning my alarm clock didn't ring. I woke up at half past eight and school began at nine. I quickly washed, dressed, jumped into my car and rushed to school. When I arrived, the students had already gone into class. I didn't go to the office, but went straight into class. After two or three minutes the students began laughing, and I couldn't understand why! Suddenly I looked down and understood. I had put on one black shoe and one brown shoe!
Henry:
The most embarrassing experience I've ever had, happened two years ago. After seeing a film, my wife and I had lunch in our favourite restaurant in town. Then we decided to take a walk along the street. The street was very busy and we started holding hands. Suddenly my wife saw a dress that she liked in a shop window, and stopped. I started looking at some watches in the next window. After a minute or two I reached for my wife's hand. There was a loud scream, and a woman slapped my face. I hadn't taken my wife's hand. I'd taken the hand of a complete stranger!
James:
My wife and I had decided to buy a new house, and I'd made an appointment to see our bank manager. I'd never met him before. I went into town in my car and I was lucky enough to find a parking space outside the bank. I'd just started reversing(倒車) into the space when another car made its way into it. I was irritated! I opened my window and shouted at the man in the car. He ignored me and walked away. It took me twenty minutes to find another place. As soon as I had parked the car, I rushed back to the bank. I was ten minutes late for my appointment. I went to the manager's office, knocked and walked in. The manager was sitting behind his desk. He was the man who had taken my parking space!

A beautiful and very successful actress was the star of a new musical show. Her home was in the country, but she didn’t want to have to go back there every night. So she rented an expensive flat in the centre of the city, bought some beautiful furniture and hired a man to paint the rooms in new colours.
It was very difficult to get tickets for her show, because everybody wanted to see it, so she decided to give the painter two of the best seats.

How can a small stamp be worth ＄16,800?
Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on a two-penny stamp has made it worth a million and a half times its face value.
Do you think it impossible? Well, it is true. And this is how it happened.
The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the former British colony (前英國(guó)殖民地) of M auritius (毛里求斯島), a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to London. Mauritius was about to become the fourth country in the world to put out stamps.
Before the order was filled and the stamps arrived from England, a big dance was planned by the commander-in-chief (總司令) of all the armed forces on the island. The dance would be held in his house and letters of invitation would be sent to all the important people in Mauritius. Stamps were badly needed to post the letters. Therefore, an islander, who was a good printer, was told to copy the pattern of the stamps. He carelessly put the words “Post Office” instead of “Post Paid”, two words seen on stamps at that time, on the several hundred that he printed.
Today, there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left--- fourteen One-penny Reds and twelve Two-penny Blues. Because there are so few Two-Penny Blues and because of their age, collectors have paid as much as ＄16,800 for one of them.
小題1:When a mistake is made in the printing of the stamp, the stamp___________.
A．will be thrown away
B．increases in value
C．is not worth buying
D．is worth no more than its face value
小題2:Why did Mauritius print some stamps too? Because__________.
A．London stamps were not well printed
B．London would not print them
C．invitations to a big dance had to be posted quickly
D．Mauritius had a very good printer
小題3:“Post Paid” means___________.
A．the same as “Post Office”
B．the Post Office is the place to buy stamps
C．money has been paid for the stamp
D．the letter must be posted

What is the hottest English word of 2013? It’s “selfie”, according to Oxford dictionaries. Selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself, according to the Oxford online dictionary. People usually take selfies with a smartphone(智能手機(jī)) and send them to a social media website.
The word was first used in 2002. In the past 12 months, its frequency (出現(xiàn)頻率) in the English language has increased by 17,000 percent, said Oxford dictionaries. Now, almost everybody knows it.
“Almost every day, I take a photo of myself at school, and save it in my Qzone (QQ空間),” said Huang Xu, 13, from Hunan. These photos record her happy and sad moments.
Pop stars also take a lot of selfies. Li Chunping, 14, from Harbin, is a big fan of Yang Mi. “She has used many selfies to tell us what’s going on in her personal life,” said Li.
What makes people love selfies? Some people say it’s narcissism (自戀). “The rise of the selfie is a perfect symbol for our narcissistic culture. We’re crying out: Look at me!” said US psychiatrist(精神科醫(yī)生) Carole Lieberman.
Young people are using selfies to make friends online, Jonathan Freedland wrote in The Guardian. “The usual purpose of taking a selfie is to share online. They express a human need to connect with others,” wrote Freedland.
Huang Xu agrees with that. “During summer vacation, my classmates and I shared many selfies online. Hair or clothes were not our interests. Through these photos, we got to know each other’s holidays and feelings,” said Huang Xu.
小題1:According to the story, a “selfie” is _____.
A．a(chǎn) person with a smartphone
B．a(chǎn) smartphone which can take photos
C．a(chǎn) photo taken by oneself
D．a(chǎn)n English dictionary
小題2:When was the word “selfie” first used?
A．More than ten years agoB．In 2013
C．When smartphones appearedD．Nobody knows
小題3:We can tell from the story that _____.
A．only famous people enjoy taking selfies
B．a(chǎn)ll people love selfies because of narcissism
C．people love to share selfies online
D．US psychiatrist Carole Lieberman hates selfies
小題4:We put the sentence “But some people don’t see it that way” at the beginning of _______.
A．Paragraph 4B．Paragraph 5C．Paragraph 6D．Paragraph 7
小題5:What is the best title of this passage ?
