They were just an ordinary pair of jeans bought in a second – hand shop. But when four girls discover that the jeans look good on all of them, despite their different figures and heights, they realize “these are magical trousers!”

The four girls – Carmen, Tibby, Lena and Bridget – have been best friends all their lives. They live in the same small American town and usually spend every moment of their long summer holidays together.

This year they all turn 16. It is the first time they have separate plans for the summer, but the girls are determined to keep in touch. They hit upon a wonderful plan of sharing the jeans throughout the holiday by sending them on to the next friend when they feel the time is right.

When they meet up at the end of the summer, they will record their favourite adventures on the trouser legs.

Based on American writer Ann Brashares’ best – selling novel, the film “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants ” tells the story of the girls’ summer trips. It will be released on June 1 in the United States.

Beautiful Lena is going to Greece to be with her grandparents; strong, athletic Bridget is off to a football camp in California; hot – tempered Carmen plans to have her divorced (离婚的) father all to herself in South Carolina; and Tibby, the rebel will be left at home to work hard for little money.

Over the summer the jeans come to represent friendship and growing up. Lena finds ways to communicate with her grandparents she once thought were boring; Bridget falls in love with an older camp coach; Carmen finds out her father is engaged to a woman with two children; and Tibby makes friends with a 12 – year – old who is dying of cancer.

Even though the four girls miss each other, being apart takes each of them on their own adventures of love, courage and forgiveness. They grow and begin to understand the world and themselves.

  A.Because these trousers were just an ordinary pair.

  B.Because these trousers were bought in a second – hand shop.

I’d just got in a taxi at the railway station when suddenly I found one of my suitcases missing. Just then, I saw a young fellow about 30 walking away with it, opening it and drawing out the valuables. “Stop thief! Stop thief!” I shouted and threw open the car door and rushed out to him, followed by the driver and half a dozen passers-by. Very soon the thief was cornered at the turn of the road. My driver caught the thief by the neck and put his hand into his trouser pocket, drawing out money, credit card, telephone book and so on and put them back into my suitcase.
Half an hour later, the car was running at full speed on the express highway. I sat back and breathed a long sigh of relief (松口气). But as I pulled out those stolen things from the suitcase and started to check them, I became dumbfounded (惊呆了). Before my eyes were 200 yuan instead of 100. And a blood test report of a 58-year-old woman appeared. I suddenly realized that the taxi driver must have mistaken the thief’s belongs and put his into my suitcase. The pitiful and begging look of the poor young man flashed across my mind again. My heart began to sink.
Two years has passed since then. But this event keeps coming back to me. Was the young man a habitual robber or a dutiful son who had been driven to desperation (铤而走险) to find money to save his mother’s life? My heart aches for him. How I wish I had gone back that summer afternoon to return the 200 yuan and say sorry to him. For the first time in my life, I realized that hate and love are very close.
【小题1】Why was the writer dumbfounded when he opened his suitcase?

A.Because he was now searching a different suitcase.
B.His own blood test report has changed into an old woman’s.
C.An old woman had put her savings into his suitcase.

【小题2】Who helped the writer catch the thief?  
A.No one. He caught the thief all by himself.

C.Some policemen.
D.The thief came back and gave back the suitcase to him.
【小题3】What was one of the reasons for the young man to steal in the writer’s opinion?
A.The young man was a born thief.
B.The young man couldn’t afford to pay for his old mother’s medical treatment.
