The first time I saw Carlos I would never have believed he was going to change my life. I had my arms full of books and I was tearing into the classroom when I ran into something solid. It was Carlos.

“My, you’re tall,” he said.

Of course, the class began to laugh. Angry, I walked to my seat without a word.

I glanced back to see if Reed Harrington was laughing with the rest. That would be the last straw. But Reed was studying chemistry and did not seem to be aware of anything else. I didn’t know why I considered Reed my friend. Maybe just because he was a good two inches taller than I. Anyway, every time I blew out my birthday candles and made a wish, it was for a date with Reed Harrington. “Take that seat,” Mr. McCarthy told the proud newcomer Carlos, pointing to the only empty one, in the back of the room.

Carlos smiled broadly. “But I need a couple of dictionaries.” Again the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos, not at him. He had been here only 10 minutes and already he had them on his side.

It was the school elections that made me think of Carlos again. Reed Harrington was voted president and Carlos vice president. “How come?” I kept asking myself. “How come this shrimp(虾) who’s only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular.”

So on that morning, I stopped Carlos and said, “It doesn’t seem to bother you—being short.” He looked up at me.“Of course I mind being short. But there isn’t anything I can do about it. When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin, I just decided to make the best of it and concentrate on being myself.” “You seem to get along great,” I admitted. “But what about me? Nobody wants to date a girl taller than he is.” “The trouble with you is you’re afraid to be yourself. You’re smart. And you could be pretty. In fact, you might be more than pretty.” I felt myself turning red...

Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. The writer cared much about Reed’s attitude.

B. Carlos isn’t popular with the classmates.

C. The writer is always confident with herself.

D. Carlos always makes fun of the writer.

D. Reed, Carlos and the writer became good friends later

What can we use to describe Carlos’ character?

C. Diligent and helpful D. Hardworking and popular

What’s the best title of the passage?

A. A girl and a boy. B. My shortcomings.

C. My helpful classmates. D. A change in my life.

As a reader，I，as many other book lovers do，often leave with a long sigh after visiting a bookstore.The prices printed on book jackets keep reminding me how thin my wallet is.

The price of books is now so high that I hesitate before buying a book I love.Many people feel the same way.But I remember that only a few years ago，when I was a college student，I bought several books almost every month，using what was left out of the living expenses sent by my parents，and that was not more than 200 yuan.

But now that I am working and the money I earn is only used to support my own expenses，I find I can’t afford many good books.

There is a saying，“Book lovers have no money，but rich people have no feelings for books.” This is exactly the case.Sometimes I wonder about who the books are published for，especially those books with beautiful hard covers.

It is said that usually，the listed price is more than twice as much as the book’s cost and we can see high profits from selling books.But now there is a contradiction.On one hand，readers who want to buy books aren’t able to，while on the other hand，publishers and sellers suffer from the large stockpiles of unsaleable books being stored in their warehouses.This situation is also a disadvantage to intellectual property right protection because many books of bestsellers are sold at a lower price at some book stands.

The key to resolve the problem is to cut the price to an acceptable level to both sellers and consumers.

I wish sincerely that in the near future common readers like me could buy the books we want without worrying about the high prices too much.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to 26 in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me. They don’t act in the 27 ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too 28 for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of   29 .
One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there 30 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She 31 her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had 32 her. I was 33 and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread．Sometimes it 34 , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt   35 . If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread．It can hardly be seen     36 , but it’s really there. Love is 37 .”
I listened carefully but I 38 her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly 39 seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked 40 . It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father   41 on the country road．
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t 42 me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.” 43 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and 44 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just 45 in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
