I have forgotten the name of the old lady, who was a customer (顾客) on my newspaper route when I was twelve. Yet she taught me a lesson that I shall never forget.
On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old lady's house near her garden. I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped (滑) from my hand as I let it go and headed straight for a small window on the lady's door. At the sound of broken glass, we knew we were in trouble. We ran faster than any of our stones which flew off her roof.
I was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn't been discovered, started to feel guilty for her trouble. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the newspaper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably when seeing her.
I decided that I would save my paper delivery (送) money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I thought would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope (信封) with a note saying that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost of repairing it.
The next day, I handed the old lady her paper. She thanked me for the paper and gave me a bag of biscuits she had made herself. I thanked her and ate the biscuits as I continued my route.
After several biscuits, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was shocked. Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said, "I'm proud of you."

C.Ann, who was weak in math, now often asks her friends for help and has made much progress.
D.Millie, who had stolen her aunt's necklace, realized her mistake and returned it to her aunt.
(3)What can we infer (推断) from the story?
A.The old lady was such a rich woman that she didn't care about the money.
B.The old lady forgave the boy for what he had done and returned him the money.
C.The old lady was too proud to accept the money the boy paid for the broken window.

【题目】Fill in the blanks with proper words(在短文的空格内填入适当的单词)

We think of chocolate as something sweet. However, long time ago, people thought of chocolate as something very bitter. For us, chocolate is a candy, but o1 it was a medicine. Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen, dessert, or just a snack. Sometimes it’s an ingredient in the main course of a meal. Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce c2 mole and pour it over chicken. The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices like chili peppers.

Chocolate is a p3 of the tropical cacao tree. Cacao beans taste so bitter that even monkeys say “ugh!” and run away. The word chocolate comes from a Mayan: word. The Mayas were an a4 people who once lived in Mexico. They valued the cacao tree. Some of the Mayas used cacao beans. f5 money, while others ground them to make a bitter drink.

When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the 16th century, they started drinking cacao, too. Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it was a medicine. When the Spaniards took the drink back to Europe, people discovered that sugar removed the bitter t6 of cacao. Wealthy Spaniards heated the sweet drink and thought that it was good for their health. In the 19th century, an English company made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate. Now people could both drink and eat chocolate. Later, a Swiss company mixed milk and chocolate together. People liked the taste of milk chocolate even better. (248 words)
