The story behind the shopping cart
Characters
Sylvan Goldman – owner of a grocery shop
Fred Young – Sylvan’s friend, a mechanic(機械師)
One night in 1936, in an American city. Inside Fred’s workshop, Sylvan sits next to Fred, who is making adjustments(調試) to their new i 小題1: – a shopping cart.
Sylvan: My customers don’t like our shopping cart.
Fred:   Really? So they p 小題2: shopping with those heavy baskets?
Sylvan: (nods) I’ve got a huge crowd of customers every day, b 小題3: none of them wants to use the cart.
Fred:   I don’t understand. We invented the cart so that people don’t need to carry a basket around the shop.
Sylvan: (laughs) And so that they will buy more groceries!
Fred:   So why don’t they like the shopping cart?
Sylvan: Young men think that pushing a cart around makes them look w 小題4: and slow, and young women think it’s unfashionable.
Fred:   Of course it isn’t fashionable right now. It’s only just been invented! But I’m sure older people will appreciate it.
Sylvan: Um…
Fred:   What? They don’t like the cart e 小題5: ?
Sylvan: Well, they think pushing it makes them look helpless!
Fred:   Oh no. We need to do something, Fred. We can’t just g 小題6: up on this invention!
Sylvan: We won’t. (He gets up and walks around the room. Suddenly, he stops.) Aha! I’ve got an idea.

Fred:   What is it?
Sylvan: I’ll hire(雇傭) some good-looking guys and girls to push the carts around and pretend they’re shopping.
Fred:   Oh! So the real shoppers will see these attractive people using the carts and think, “Hey, if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for me!”
Sylvan: E 小題7: .
Fred:   Hey! Maybe you could get one of the girls to greet your customers and encourage them to use the cart.
Sylvan: Great idea!

小題1:invention
小題2:prefer
小題3:but
小題4:weak
小題5:either
小題6:give
小題7:Exactly

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是在購物車剛被發明出來的時候，人們并喜歡用它，所以購物車的發明人Fred和Sylvan就在討論怎樣才能讓人們喜歡上它。最后他們有了一個好主意。
小題1:句意：1936年的一個晚上，在美國的一個城市里，Fred和他的朋友Sylvan正在調試他們的新發明—購物車。invention 發名物，是一個名詞。這篇短文講述的就是購物車的由來，所以，在那個時候，購物車是一個新的發明物。下文It’s only just been invented這句話也可以告訴我們答案。
小題2:句意：-我的顧客不喜歡我們的購物車。-真的嗎？他們更喜歡拿著重的購物籃去購物嗎？prefer 更喜歡。這里是表示購物車與購物籃的一個對比。
小題3:句意：我每天有很多顧客，但是很少有人愿意使用這個購物車。根據句意可知，這里表示的是轉折的關系。故填but。
小題4:句意：年輕的男性認為推著購物車到處走讓他們看起來很脆弱，而且很慢；而年輕的女性則認為購物車不夠時尚。這里的look 是看起來的意思，后面應跟一個形容詞，根據句意可知，年輕男性不喜歡購物車的愿意就是他們覺得這樣會使他們看起來很脆弱，不強壯。
小題5:句意：-我確定老年人會喜歡它的。什么？他們也不喜歡購物車？either 也，常用于否定句中。
小題6:句意：我們不能放棄這項發明。根據文意可知，他們發明的購物車并不受人們的歡迎，但是這里Fred不愿意就這樣放棄。give up 放棄，是固定短語。
小題7:句意：-所以真正的顧客會看到這些吸引人的人們在使用這種購物車，然后就會想：如果對他們來說使用購物車很好的話，對我也會好的。-就是這樣。exactly 精確的，正確的，就是這樣。這里表示Sylvan完全同意Fred的話，認為他說的很對。

Once, there was a beautiful girl who didn’t like herself, because she was blind, she couldn’t see anything.
In fact, the girl loved nobody except her boyfriend, for he was always ready to help her. She used to tell her boyfriend, “If I could see the world, I would marry you.”
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to the girl. When the bandages came off，she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend for the first time. He asked her, “Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?” The girl looked at her boyfriend and was greatly surprised to see that he was blind, too. She had never expected that, and she would not like to be with a blind husband for the rest of her life, so she refused to marry him.
Her boyfriend left in tears and a few days later wrote a note to her, saying, “My dear, take good care of your eyes. Before they are yours, they were mine.”
So, this is how the human brain often works when our situation changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before. And we often ask for more than we need. Life is a gift. Today, before you complain about the taste of your food，think of those who have nothing to eat. Before you complain about life，think of some ones who went to heaven too early. Before you complain about your old house, think of the people who are living in the streets. And when you are tired and complain about your job, think of those who have no jobs.
In a word, enjoy the things you have and don’t forget your past.

Life is important to all of us. So we must respect our lives. When you want to run across the street to catch the bus, stop to think about it. If you do, you’ll have to pay a fine (罰款) or get hurt.
Traffic accidents killed more than 104,000 people in China last year. Chinese cities have more cars than ever. Drivers and pedestrians (行人) must work together to make the streets safer.
New traffic laws say that if people cross the street when the light is red, they can be fined as much as 50 yuan. The law has new rules for drivers and pedestrians. Drivers have to slow down when they are close to crosswalks. If people are in a crosswalk, cars must stop to let them walk.
There are rules for bus drivers, too. If bus drivers smoke, drink or make phone calls while driving, they can be fined. Buses that carry too many people are also against the law.
Pedestrians will have to walk more safely under the new law. They must cross streets at crosswalks. Also, they shouldn’t climb over the fences (柵欄) along streets.
Do you ride a bike to school? It’s not a good idea to carry classmates on the back. You could be fined 50 yuan. And stay in the bike lane (車道) when you’re riding. The big roads are for cars and buses.
Do you like to ride your uncle’s motorbike? When you put on your helmet (頭盔), ask him to put one on, too. “People on motorbikes must wear helmets”, the new law says. If they don’t, they’ll have to pay 200 yuan. When you ride in cars, don’t forget to put on your seat belt, even if you’re going for a short taxi ride. It could save your life.
If you see a hit-and-run (肇事逃逸), tell the police. They may give you a reward (獎賞).
And don’t be afraid to help people to the hospital if they are hurt in an accident. Don’t worry about money. The new law says that doctors must take care of them even if they can’t pay right away.
小題1:．Don’t go across the road when _______.

A．the light is green	B．the light is red
C．the bus is leaving	D．traffic is busy

小題2:．What does the word “crosswalk” mean in Chinese?

A．過馬路	B．人行橫道
C．立交橋	D．車行道

小題3:．If you are a bus driver, _______ while you are driving, according to (根據) the new traffic laws.

A．you can make a phone call	B．you can’t talk to others
