【解析】
1. send messages and communicate values。說玩具發(fā)送消息和溝通價值。因此這里是說明智的父母會考慮，玩具是怎么影響自己的孩子的。故選G。
2. 他們明白，更少的玩具從孩子的長遠(yuǎn)來看，是有幫助的。前面的intentional parents learn to limit the number of toys that kids have to play with.意思是：有心的父母學(xué)會限制孩子們玩具的數(shù)量。
3. 太多的玩具阻止孩子充分發(fā)揮豐富的想象.根據(jù)后文兩個德國公共衛(wèi)生工作人員，開展了一項實驗，讓幼兒園教室里三個月都拿掉玩具，雖然在游戲的開始階段是無聊的設(shè)置，但是最后結(jié)果the children soon began to use their basic surroundings to invent games and use imagination in their playing.意思是：孩子們不久就用周圍環(huán)境來創(chuàng)造游戲，并且在游戲中發(fā)揮想象力。可知這里講的玩具會影響孩子發(fā)揮自己的想象力。故選E。
4. 孩子培養(yǎng)了更長時間的注意力跨度。根據(jù)后文When too many toys are introduced into a child life, their attention span will begin to suffer.意思是：當(dāng)孩子有更多的玩具的時候，他們的注意力跨度會開始減弱。可知這里是說限制孩子玩具的數(shù)量，可以培養(yǎng)孩子更長時間的注意力跨度。故選B。
5. 孩子能夠建立更好的社會技能。由后文Children with fewer toys learn how to develop interpersonal relationships with other kids and adults.意思是：玩具更少的孩子知道學(xué)會怎樣與其他的孩子和成年人建立人際關(guān)系。可知第三部分是講玩具少一些，能夠有利于孩子更好地學(xué)習(xí)社會技能。故選A。

ohn Cruitt, 62, spent decades tracking down his third- grade teacher.
He wanted to talk with Cecile Doyle about 1958--- the year his mother, who was seriously ill, passed away.
Her death came just days before Christmas. Cruitt had been expecting to go home from school and decorate the Christmas tree.
“When I found out she died, I could certainly relate to that, because when I was 11, my own father died,” Doyle tells Cruitt at StoryCorps in Monroe, N.Y. “And you just don’t know how you’re going to go on without that person.”
When Cruitt returned to school, Doyle waited until all of the other children left the room at the end of the day, and told him that she was there if he needed her.
“Then you kissed me on the head,” Cruitt says. “And I felt that things really would be OK.”
“Well, Cruitt, I’m so glad that I could be there with you for that time,” says Doyle, 82.
Decades after his mother’s death, Cruitt began to think more and more of Doyle. He finally wrote a letter:
Dear Mrs. Doyle,
If you are not the Cecile Doyle who taught English at Emerson School in Kearny, N.J., then I’m embarrassed, and you can disregard the letter.
My name is John Cruitt, and I was in your third- grade class during the 1958-1959 school year. Two days before Christmas, my mother passed away, and you told me that you were there if I needed you. I hope life has been as kind to you as you were to me.
God bless you.
John Cruitt
Doyle says his letter, which arrived in February, could not have come at a better time. Her husband, who passed away this August, was struggling with Parkinson’s disease.
“And I had just come home from the hospital, and I read this beautiful letter, and I just was overwhelmed,” she says.
“Well the funny thing is, when I finally wrote to you again after 54 years, I typed the letter--- I was afraid my penmanship wasn’t going to meet your standards,” Cruitt says as Doyle laughs.
“John, what can I say--- I’m just glad that we made a difference in each other’s life.”
1.After Cruitt’s mother’s death, ________.
A. Cruitt totally relied on his father
B. Doyle’s words brought him comfort
C. Cruitt didn’t go to school regularly
D. Doyle asked his classmates to help him
2.Before Cruitt wrote the letter, he______.
A. knew Doyle’s husband had passed away
B. believed Doyle was leading a happy life
C. considered it embarrassing to write to Doyle
D. was unsure whether Doyle could receive the letter
3.Doyle believed the letter_____.
A. was a belated gift
B. came at just the right time
C. lifted her confidence greatly
D. served as a reminder of her husband
4.Why did Cruitt type the letter?
A. Doyle had taught him typing.
B. He was better at typing than writing.
C. Doyle would be able to read it without difficulty.
D. He was afraid Doyle would be dissatisfied with his writing.

Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart, was born in Kingfish, Oklahoma on March 29, 1918. He was raised in Missouri where he worked in his father’s store while attending school. This was his first retailing (零售業(yè)) experience and he really enjoyed it. After graduation, he began his own career as a retail merchant.
He soon opened his first Wal-Mart store in 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas. Wal-Mart specialized in name brands at low prices and Sam Walton was surprised at the success. Soon a chain of Wal-Mart stores sprang up across rural America.
Walton's management style was popular with employees and he founded some of the basic concepts of management that are still in use today.
After taking the company public in 1970, Walton introduced his “profit sharing plan”. The profit sharing plan was a plan for Wal-Mart employees to improve their income dependent on the profits of the store. Sam Walton believed that “individuals don't win, teams do”. Employees at Wal-Mart stores were offered stock options (認(rèn)股權(quán)) and store discounts. These benefits are commonplace today, but Walton was among the first to implement (實現(xiàn)) them. Walton believed that a happy employee meant happy customers and more sales. He also believed that by giving employees a part of the company and making their success dependent on the company’s success, they would care about the company.
By the 1980s, Wal-Mart had sales of over one billion dollars and over three hundred stores across North America. Wal-Mart’s unique decentralized (分散的) distribution system, also Walton’s idea, created the edge needed to further encourage growth in the 1980s during growing complaints that the “superstore” was stopping smaller and traditional stores from developing. By 1991, Wal-Mart was the largest US retailer with 1,700 stores. Walton remained active in managing the company, as president and CEO until 1988 and chairman until his death. He was awarded the Medal of Freedom shortly before his death.
1.Sam Walton first made a hit in retailing when __________.
A. he worked in his father’s store
B. he created Walton's management style
C. a chain of Wal-Mart stores sprang up across rural America
D. he specialized in name brands at low prices
2.What is the purpose of Walton’s carrying out “profit sharing plan”?
A. To make sure all the employees had their own shares.
B. To encourage the employees to work hard and make joint efforts.
C. To select excellent employees for his stores.
D. To make more profit for himself.
3.Which of the statements is TRUE?
A. With Walton’s management style, employees treated the stores as their own.
B. Walton wasn’t one of the merchants who first implemented stock options.
C. The smaller and traditional stores were well affected by Walton’s stores.
D. In his old age, Walton gave all the management to his men.
4.What does the underlined word “edge” in the last paragraph mean here?
A. Danger. B. Disadvantage.
C. Advantage. D. System.

Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFE SENTENCE.
Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Gumming, aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury(陪審團) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment to the court. It was, said the Judge, a simple case. Cumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Gumming. When arrested, Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking.
Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, “Just don’t tell my mother.”
“It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. “Just don’t tell my mother,” said Fee numbly(麻木地). “And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!”
Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. “Fee, pack your things. We’ll go to see him.”
She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. “I can't go,” she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. “It would kill him to see me. I know him so well—his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants. We’ve got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us?”
Paddy was still weeping, not for Frank, but for the life which had gone from Fee’s face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart. Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy’s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.
So he said, “Well, Fee, we won’t go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?”
There was no excitement in the eyes, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. “Yes, Paddy, do that. Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don’t know.”
1.Paddy cried because he thought ___________.
A. Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment
B. Frank should have told Fee what had happened
C. what had happened to Frank was killing Fee
D. Frank had always been a man of bad moral character
2.The underlined sentence “She half-rose before sinking back…” in Paragraph 6 shows that___________.
A. Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up
B. Fee didn’t want to upset Paddy by visiting Frank
C. Fee couldn’t leave her family to go to see Frank
D. Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish
3.What can be inferred from Fee’s words?
A. The jury and the judge agreed on the Boxer’s Sentence of Life Imprisonment.
B. The police found Gumming unconscious, heavily struck by Frank.
C. The family didn’t find out what had happened to Frank until 3 years later.
D. Frank didn’t want his family to know the sentence to him, most probably out of his pride.
4.What is Frank and Paddy’s probable relationship with Fee?
A. Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s brother.
B. Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s husband.
C. Frank is Fee’s brother and Paddy is Fee’s lover.
D. Frank is Fee’s lover and Paddy is Fee’s husband.
