Nowadays experience, like many other things, is becoming more and more .

Several days ago, I wanted to invite my friends to lunch. What we really needed was a good and quiet for some conversation, not a big meal, I chose one only for people like me who belonged to a particular club. What could be nicer?

When I a day before, I was asked whether I would eat a $20 or $50 lunch. I said, “$50 .” I didn’t realize until I was asked to pay after the lunch, that “$50” means “$50 for each person.” There were five of us that day. When the bill（账单）came , it was $310.40 (250 for food and the rest for drinks, fruits and air-conditioning). Though everybody was surprised, I paid the bill without a word.

What could I say? It was my own that made me pay the lunch bill of my life. On the whole, it was not so . We had a wonderful lunch and the place was beautiful. Besides, the experience was good and special, and will in later years. To support the logic（逻辑）of the lunch bill, I have developed my own way to explain it: $50 for the lunch and $260.40 for the .

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.

4. Why does the author say some stores can be dangerous?

A. Because the sales last too long indeed.

B. Because the stores can be over-crowded.

C. Because many people are waiting outside.

D. Because there are fewer products than needed.

5. What is special about Black Friday?

A. It is a wonderful time to do shopping.
