PAUL’S brother bought him a new car as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve (前夜), Paul saw a boy walking around the new car, admiring it.

"Is this your car, Mister?" he asked.

Paul nodded. "My brother gave it to me for Christmas." The boy was amazed. "You mean your brother just gave it to you? Boy, I wish...." Paul knew what he was going to wish for — a brother who would buy him a car. But the boy surprised Paul.

"I wish that I could be a brother like that," he said.

Astonished, Paul invited the boy to go for a ride in the new car.

After a short ride, the boy said, "Would you mind driving in front of my house?" Paul thought the boy wanted to show the car to his neighbors. But Paul was wrong again.

The boy ran up the steps of his house. Soon he came back carrying his crippled (残废的) little brother. He pointed to the car. "Look!" he said to the little boy. "His brother gave him that car for Christmas. Some day I’m gonna give you one just like it!"

第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

January 13, 2010 SHANGHAI - If Google leaves China, the country will suddenly become even more dependent on its main homegrown search engine, Baidu.com. And while that is likely to benefit the Chinese company in the near term, analysts say it could do no good to the long-term development of the Internet in China.

   71   , The company has 300 million users, and it is the market in China, with a commanding 63 percent share to Google’s 33 percent, according to iResearch, a consulting firm

One reason for Baidu’s leading position is its close following the nation’s tight Internet regulations and its censorship(审查) of Internet content.   72   .

“Baidu keeps a great relationship with the government,”says an advisor at 5G, a consulting firm “If the government wants something removed, Baidu will do it immediately.   73    .”

That, under local control, might be why Google never closed the market share gap with Baidu.   

   74   , while Baidu insisted that they knew what Chinese users wanted.

      Now, Google is suggesting that it may follow Yahoo and Ebay and actually disappear from a country that has the world’s largest Internet population-estimated to be 338 million users.“  75   

  ”says Yu Yang, chief of Analysts International, a Beijing-based research firm. “As for Baidu, without competition with Google, Baidu has no motivation to create.”

A.Baidu did not comment Wednesday on Google’s announcement

B.Baidu obeyed the government’s regulations, but Google did not like to, experts say

C.On the other hand, everything with Google has to go through is headquarters(总部)

D.Baidu doesn’t become famous overnight

E.Google claimed they had the better technology

F.The Internet is always playing an important role in China

G.The whole industry will become worse
