He must really be 37__.”As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him, 38 all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt, His glasses went 39 and landed in the grass.
My 40 went out to him. So, I ran over to him. 41 I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!” I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it 42 , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.
Kyle was the 43 student of our class, one of those guys that really found themselves during high school. Therefore he had the 44 to prepare a 45 speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was 46 .So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be 47 !” He looked at me and smiled.
He cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to 48 those who helped you make it through those 49 years. Your parents, your teachers… but mostly your friends, I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best 50 you can give him.”
I just looked at my friend with 51 as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to 52 himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home. “Thankfully, nothing happened. My friend 53 me from doing the unspeakable.”
Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate(低估) the 54 of your actions. With one small gesture you can 55 a person’s life. For better or for worse.

A. Goods for auction (拍卖) sales
B. Definition of bidding
C. Way to sell more goods by auction
D. Auction sales in history
E. Brief introduction to auctions
F. Making a larger profit as an auctioneer
1.______
Auctions are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd assembled in the auction-room to make offers, or “bids”, for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a table at which he stands.
2. ______
The ancient Roman probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auction, meaning “increasing”. The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in war. In England in the eighteenth centuries, goods were often sold “by the candle”: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight.
3. ______
Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, furs, silk and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art.
4. ______
An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by potential buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in the order of numbers: he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in.
5. ______
The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also play on the opponents among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against each other.

Taxis
Taxis are in the streets 24 hours a day．Simply raise your hand, and a taxi will appear in no time．They are usually red, and they display the price per kilometre on the window．You should check whether the cab has a business permit, and make sure you ask for a receipt．
Buses and trolleybuses
Public transport provides a cheap way to get around in Beijing．There are 20,000 buses and trolleybuses in Beijing, but they can get very crowded．It’s a good idea to avoid public transport during the rush hour(6∶30 a.m.～8∶00 a.m.and 5∶00 p.m.～6∶30 p.m.)．Fares are cheap, starting at 1 yuan．Air-conditioned buses cost more．Buses numbered 1 to 100 are limited to travel within the city centre．Higher numbers have destinations in the suburbs．Tourists shouldn’t miss the 103 bus which offers one of the most impressive routes, past the Forbidden City and the White Pagoda in Beihai Park．If you get on a double-decker bus, make sure you sit upstairs．You’ll have a good view of the rapidly changing city．
Most buses run from about 5∶00 a.m.to midnight．However, there is also a night bus service, provided by buses with a number in the 200s．
Minibuses
Minibuses with seats for 12 passengers offer an alternative to expensive taxis and crowded public transport in some areas．They run regular services and follow the same routes as large public buses．And in a minibus you always get a seat even in rush hours．
Underground
There are four underground lines in Beijing, and several lines are under construction．Trains are fast and convenient, but rush hours can be terrible．A oneway trip costs 3 yuan．Station names are marked in pinyin．The underground is open from 5∶00 a.m.to 11∶00 p.m.．
Pedicabs
Tourists like these human-pedalled“tricycle taxis”, but they can be expensive．You should talk to the driver, and make sure you know the price before you begin the journey．For example, if it is per person, single or return．Tricycles are worth using if you want to explore the narrow alleys(hutong)of old Beijing．
Questions：
1．What’s the problem with buses?
2．What are the advantages of the underground?
3．What can you visit in a pedicab?
The price has been .Can you go and buy one?
