　　I needed to get some money, so after Christmas, I took a job in the clothes department at Graham's for the first fortnight of the January sale. I can't say that I enjoyed it, but it was an experience I'1I never forget.

　　I could never understand why there were so many things in the sales; where did they all come from? Now I know the secret! Firstly, there is the special winter stock（货物）and the stock that people buy all the year round; some of these things are slightly reduced. Secondly, there are the stammer clothes they couldn't sell last year; these are heavily reduced to clear them Thirdly, there are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales; these are put out at high prices ten days be-fore the sale, begins and then are reduced by 60％in the sale Clever! lastly, they buy in“seconds”(clothes mot in perfect condition)for the sale and they are sold very cheaply.

　　When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale, there was already a queue around three sides of the building. This made me very nervous. When the big moment arrived to open the doors the security guards, looking less confident than usual, came up to them, keys in hand. The moment they had unlocked the doors, they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in. I couldn't believe my eyes; this wasn't shopping, it was a battlefield! One poor lady couldn't keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind.

　　Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colours and styles they wanted. Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small children to crawl（爬行）through people's legs and get hold of things they couldn't get near themselves.

　　Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous English queue gone? The whole day continued like that, but I kept my temper（脾气）! I was taking money hand over fist and began to realize why, twice a year, Graham's were happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this.

　　In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain it was OK.

　　You won't believe this but as soon as I got home I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and went back to bed, fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.

     I closed my eyes as tight as they could go.
     The lights went off, and I unbolted the door of memory. I remember driving home by myself for
the first time. I looked into the future and imagined that I was walking on the stage to receive my college
diploma. I looked at the bleachers packed with families and friends. I saw my parents smile with pride,
and I looked to their side for Katie and Kevin's approval. But Katie, my elder sister, was not there. I
cou7ld hold back my tears.
     I suddenly opened my eyes and returned to reality. I remember being called out of Spanish class in
 the tenth grade and taken to the hospital to see Katie, who was dying of cancer. Katie's room was
exactly the way she had left it on a Friday night in September, 1993,when she was got into the ambulance. She died just a few weeks in her freshman year at the University of Miami.
    When Katie was six years old, she declared herself old enough to take care of her little sister and
brother, because she wanted to lighten our mother's burden. Katie would always do up my hair and
go shopping with me. She would always tutor Kevin and buy him ice cream as a reward for his hard
work. Clearly, Katie was more than our elder sister.
     A diploma is placed in my hand . "I do !" I cry. Katie said she loved me and hugged me tight on a
September afternoon in 1993. just before I step up my college auditorium stage, I look at the spectators
in the bleachers and see mother, father and Kevin. Katie is sitting right beside them , cheering me on.

     Science Daily (Apr. 27, 2008)-- Dutch ecologist Roxina Soler and her colleagues have
discovered that subterranean (地下的) and aboveground herbivorous (食草的) insects can
communicate with each other by using plants as telephones.  Subterranean insects issue chemical
warning signals through the leaves of the plant. This way, aboveground insects are warned that the
plant is already "occupied".
     Aboveground, leaf-eating insects prefer plants that have not yet been occupied by subterranean
root-eating insects. Subterranean insects send out chemical signals through the leaves of the plant,
which warn the aboveground insects about their presence. This messaging makes it possible for
spatially-separated insects to avoid each other, so that they do not compete for, the same plant.
     In recent years it has been discovered that different types of aboveground insects develop slowly
if they feed on plants that also have subterranean insects and 'vice versa (反之亦然). It seems that a
mechanism (机制) has developed through natural selection,  which helps the subterranean and
aboveground insects to communicate with each other. This avoids unnecessary competition.
      Through the "green telephone lines", subterranean insects can also communicate with a third party,
namely the natural enemy of caterpillars (毛虫). Parasitic wasps (寄生蜂) lay their eggs inside above
ground insects. The wasps also benefit from the signals sent by the leaves, as these help them find more
insects for their eggs.
     The communication between subterranean and above- ground insects has only been studied in a
few systems. It is still not clear how widespread this phenomenon is, say the researchers.
1. How do subterranean and aboveground insects communicate with each other?
A. By sending signals through the leaves.    
B. By giving off particular smells.
C. By making soft and beautiful sounds.    
D. By the signals sent by parasitic wasps.
2. After finding a plant occupied by root-eating insects, aboveground insects will usually ________.  
A. send out warning signals        
B. choose to leave the plant
C. compete for the same plant      
D. fight with the root-eating insects
3. Aboveground insects will develop more quickly if their food plants ________.   
A. are often visited by parasitic wasps    
B. are not occupied by mot-eating insects
C. have more green leaves            
D. have more subterranean insects
4. What does the underlined part "a third party' in Paragraph 4 include?  

A. Aboveground insects.  
B. Root-eating insects.
C. Caterpillars.        
D. Parasitic wasps.

5. What would be the best title for the passage?   
A. Communication between different insects
B. How do animals avoid competition?
C. Insects use plants as telephones
D. When plants have subterranean residents
