It’s that time of year again. The lead-up（前奏）to everyone’s favorite holiday — Christmas!

Usually Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, marks the beginning of the Christmas shopping season. On this day all the stores open early and offer the best discounts（折扣）to their customers. Interestingly, people push to buy the cheapest products, just a few hours after giving thanks for the things they have.

Usually televisions and laptops are the most popular products on Black Friday. People are willing to wait for hours for their favorite stores to open because they want very much to get the items they need.

This year I decided to go out and grab a bargain（特价商品）at one of these sales, just to see what it is like. After a delicious Thanksgiving meal, I drove to the mall around half an hour before the stores opened. Already there were people lining up and waiting outside. Some had even prepared themselves with tents and hot chocolate to stay warm in the cold weather. I entered the store, but I wasn’t looking for anything specific. I just walked around the store checking out the prices. I bought some cheap clothes, while other people were loading their shopping carts（手推车）with tons of different items.

Some people come to the Black Friday sales for the products, and others come to enjoy the experience. However, some stores can be a little dangerous during Black Friday. Every year there are always some cases of people fighting over the small number of goods. This year Wal-Mart learned its lesson and made the sales last longer. They made sure customers came for the first hour, got what they wanted and then left quickly.

The students are passing the ball from one to________．

A．the other B．another

C．others D．other

The teacher stood before his class of 30 students and was going to hand out the final exam papers. "I know how hard you have all worked to prepare for this test," he said. "And because I know you are all able to understand these questions, I am ready to offer a B to anyone who would prefer not to take the test."

A number of students jumped up to thank the teacher and left the classroom. The teacher looked at the rest students and said, "Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last chance." Two more students decided to go. Seven students stayed. The teacher then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have received an A in this class. Keep believing in yourself.

I never had a teacher who gave a test like that, but I think that it is a test that any teacher could and should give. Students who do not have confidence in what they have learned are B students at most.

The same is true for students in real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both successes and failures. They have learned life's lessons, whether from school education or from events is in their lives, and have become better people. Scientists say that by the age of eight, 80% of what we believe about ourselves has already been formed. You are a big kid now, and you realize that you have some limits (局限). However, there is nothing you can't do. Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma (珠穆朗玛峰) said, "We do not conquer the mountain, but ourselves."

1.Why did some students leave the classroom?

A. Because they knew the teacher didn't like them to take the test.

B. Because they were allowed to take another easier exam later on.

C. Because they were happy with the mark the teacher would give them.

D. Because they thought the exam was too easy to be worth a try.

2.Why did the teacher give the rest students an A?

A. Because they answered all the questions in the exam correctly.

B. Because they had been promised an A by the teacher before.

C. Because they had been working hard for each exam.

D. Because they were confident in what they had learned.

3.What does the underlined word "conquer" mean in the passage?

A. 发现 B. 控制 C. 探索 D. 征服

4.What is the writer's purpose of writing the passage?

A. He wants us to know what our limits are.

B. He wants us to learn to believe in ourselves.

C. He wants us to receive formal education.

D. He wants us to learn from B students.
