The day after Thanksgiving has become America’s wildest shopping day. Closed all day on     , shops all across the country open early on Friday. Some open at 12:01 Friday morning, while others open at 4 a.m. Some lazy ones , like Target this year ,don’t open their doors on Friday      6 a.m. From Friday to the day before Christmas, this is the season when businesses make      25% of their whole year’s revenue (收入). This season puts many businesses “in the black”—that is, into profitability(盈利)—for the year.
Reporters from local TV stations       people who camp out in front of shops before the doors open on Friday. These people patiently wait in line to get products that are discounted 50 percent or more. “Oh, we have fun”, said one camper.” We bring games to play, we watch TV and we meet interesting people .And, most       of all, we save big dollars! ” Each store has plenty of goods reduce from 10% to 50%.
Not all Americans like this crazy shopping. Reverend William Graham wants to     the name of Black Friday. “We want to call it Remember Jesus(耶穌) Friday. People should start the season      the right attitude(態(tài)度).Christmastime has become a Season of Shopping. We want to make it a Season of     .And we don’t mean giving IPods, DVDs, flat screen TVs ,and so on .We mean giving your back, your mind, and your hands. Help an old lady      her house. Teach a kid how to read. Pick up the rubbish in your neighborhood. Give blood to the    . Celebrate Christmas by remembering Jesus and forgetting Father Christmas.”

Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
The reporter was talking to them about being important.
“How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker.
The banker thought for a few moments and then said, “I think anybody who is invited to the Whiter House to meet the President of the United States is really important.”
The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked.
The man shook his head, “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.”
The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so?”
“No, I don’t.” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”
“Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter and the other two men asked.
“Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, ‘it’s for you.’”
小題1:This story happened in _______.
A.England B.America C.Japan D.Australia

Dear Dad,
I am writing this letter to you because it’s too difficult to talk about it. I can’t stop           about my uncle and how he died. In fact, I seriously want to ask you to stop smoking. I’ve looked up      information about smoking and I’ve found out some disturbing(令人不安的) things.
You already know that smoking is bad for your breathing and can cause cancer. I’ve found out      it causes many other illnesses as well. Did you know that over 100,000 people die from smoking every year in Britain? It’s the second        cause of death in the world. I don’t want you to be one of these people.
When Mum       you to smoke outside, you think she’s just being difficult. Well, it’s true that she doesn’t like the smell of smoke in the house and on our clothes. It’s not very pleasant. However, when you smoke, it’s also bad for me and Mum. In other words, when we breathe in your smoke, it’s like we are smoke       . As a result, we can get diseases as well. Doctors are finding that more and more non-smokers are falling ill because of the effects of other people’s smoking.
I know that it is very difficult to stop smoking     you mustn’t give in(屈服) to it. Please see the doctor and ask him for help. We will do anything we can     you. You must try to save your own       . You are important to us and we don’t want to lose you. Who else can I ask to help me      my maths homework or fix my bike? Please don’t smoke!
Your loving daughter,
Kate
