We have ________ pictures.

A. much B. one C. a D. many

One year ago all eyes were on Beijing．The excitement of the 2008 Olympics was going up day by day． Then something happened --- the earthquake．Our eyes turned quickly from Beijing towards Sichuan．Day after day we watched the terrible pictures on television．They went into our hearts．

But our spirits were also lifted as we saw so many ordinary people become heroes．Many people saved the lives of others without thinking about themselves． Soon people from all over the country were trying to help． Some traveled to Sichuan to save people, others sent food, water and clothes．And it seemed that everyone tried their best to donate money．

The Sichuan earthquake was a terrible thing but it did teach us some useful lessons．First, it taught us the importance of helping others．Without everyone joining together the things were much worse． It also taught us to love our friends and family．We realized that the people we love so much could be taken from us very quickly．

We also learned to respect （尊重） the power of nature．The earth is our home but it can sometimes be a dangerous place to live．Earthquakes, floods and droughts can happen at any time．We can’t do anything about that, but we do have the power to show our respect for nature by not causing pollution．That may be the most useful lesson of all．

（）1．When did the Sichuan earthquake take place? _________．

A． On May 12 , 2007 B． On May 12 , 2008

C． On May 12 , 2009 D． On April 12 , 2008

（）2．How many useful lessons did the Sichuan earthquake teach us according to the passage?

A． Two B． Three C． Four D． Five

（）3．According to this passage, how can we show our respect for nature? _________．

A． By preventing floods B． By stopping droughts

C． By keeping earthquakes away D． By not causing pollution

（）4．What’s the main idea of the last two paragraphs? _________．

A． The importance of helping others

B． Loving our friends and family

C． Respecting the power of nature

D． The useful lessons of the Sichuan earthquake

I needed to buy a camera, one that was simply good at taking good snaps (快照). So I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations (推荐) and headed for my nearest big camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked a salesgirl, “Can I have one of those?” “Do you want to try it first?" she said. It didn’t quite sound like a question. “Do I need to?” I replied. “There’s nothing wrong with it?” “No, no. But you should try it,” she said encouragingly. “Compare it with the others.”
I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering different prices. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to consider Z and possibly H at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.
But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps (陷阱) by making the right choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The salesgirl seemed a kind girl. So I let her take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers... and when she started to introduce the special features, I cut in to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.
Why do we think that new choices still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer a chance to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.
小题1:The salesgirl insisted that the writer should ______.

A．try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it

B．compare the camera he had chosen with the others

C．get more information about different companies

D．trust her and stop asking questions

小题2:What does the writer mean by “it would be worth half what I paid for it”?

A．The camera was not good.

B．He should get a lower price.

C．The camera would soon fall in value.

D．The price of the camera was too high.

小题3:The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he ______.

A．knew very little about it

B．didn’t trust the salesgirl any more

C．wanted to make sure he chose the best one

D．wanted to take pictures of his fellow shoppers

小题4: It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer’s opinion, ______.

A．salespersons are not always very kind

B．people waste too much money on cameras

C．cameras have become an important part of our daily life

D．we don’t actually need so many choices when buying a product
