阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

  I needed to buy a digital camera, one that was simply good at taking good snaps(快照), maybe occasionally for magazines.Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand.So I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store.There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list.And it was on special offer.Oh joy.I pointed at it and asked an assistant, “Can I have one of those? ” He looked perturbed(不安).“Do you want to try it first? ” he said.It didn't quite sound like a question.“Do I need to? ” I replied.“There's nothing wrong with it? ” This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad.‘‘No, no.But you should try.it, ’’ he said encouragingly.“Compare it with the others.”

  I looked across at the others:shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box.With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly H into account at the same time.But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with:first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.

  But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choice.In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen.The assistant seemed a sincere man.So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers…and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.

  Why do we think that new options(选择)still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.

D.

(3)

  I ran into a stranger as he passed by.“I’m sorry!” was my reply.Then he said, “Excuse me too, I wasn’t even   1   for you.” We were very   2  , this stranger and I.Then we went on our   3   after saying goodbye.

  But at home, a   4   story is told.How we treat our loved ones, young and old.Later in the   5  , as I cooked our meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still.When I returned, I nearly   6   her down.“Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown(皱眉).She stepped away silently, with her little heart   7  .I didn’t realize how harshly(严厉地)I had spoken.

  That night, when I lay   8   in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me and said, “while meeting with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are   9   to excite-Go look around on the kitchen floor, you’ll find some flowers there by the door.Those are the flowers she brought for you.She   10   them herself-pink, yellow, and your favorite   11  .She stood there quietly, and you never saw the tears in her eyes.”

  By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall.I quietly went and   12   by her bed, “wake up, my dear,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?’’ She smiled, “I found them out by the tree.I   13   them in a napkin, just for you.I knew you would like them,   14   the blue.” I said, “I am so sorry that I   15   them today-And I shouldn’t have fussed at you that way.”

  And she whispered, “Mommy, that’s okay-I   16   love you anyway.” I hugged her and said, “ I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers.”

  Do you know that:If you die tomorrow, the company you are working for could easily   17   you in a   18   of days.But the family you leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.And come to think of it, we   19   ourselves more into our work than into our families-a(n)  20   investment indeed.

  In order to separate loving parents from their freshman sons, Morehouse College in Atlanta has held a/an   1   "Parting Ceremony."

  In the latest wave in which superinvolved parents   6   their children to college, universities are   7   activities   8   to speed the separation.In the age of MSN and twice-daily texts home,   9   colleges are urging "sticky parents" to leave sooner so students can   10   independence.

  Grinnell College here, like others, has found it   11   to make it clear when parents   12   say goodbye.After computer printers and bags had been carried to dorm rooms, everyone gathered in the gymnasium, students on one side,   13   on the other.

  Shortly   14  , mothers and fathers were urged to leave campus.

  Moving their students in usually takes a few hours.Moving on? Most deans can tell   15   of parents who hang around campus for days.At Colgate University in Hamilton, N.Y."We recognize it's a   16   day for families," Beverly Low, the dean(院长)of first-year students said.Still, during various parent meetings on Colgate's move-in day, Ms.Low and other officials   17   tell the parents   18   that "activities for the class of freshmen begin at 4 on time, so parents should leave before 4." she said.

  Formal departure ceremonies are unusual   19   growing in popularity, said Joyce Holl, head of the National Orientation Directors Association.A more common method is for colleges to limit the hour for last hugs.  20  , the parents of Princeton freshmen learn from the move-in schedule, "the rest events are intended for students only."
