Does your area receive enough direct lighting?

1.So you shouldn't even give it a thought if you live in an area that doesn't get much sunlight.These lights need direct sunlight,or they just won't work very well.2.

The expensive one usually means good quality Choosing the cheapest ones will result in many problems.For once,it's best to buy more expensive lights of high quality.3.At least you should know the difference between a $10 light and a $45 light.

Our neighbour’s son was getting married at an out-of-town church, and my husband and I were invited. We immediately rushed out to a store, and I bought a nice pink dress with a jacket. The dress was a little tight, but I had a month to go before the June 30 wedding and I would lose a few pounds.

June 29 came and, of course, I hadn’t lost a single pound; in fact I had gained two. But I figured a nice new girdle (緊身內(nèi)衣)would cure everything. So on our way out of the city we stopped once again at the store. I ran in and told the clerk I needed a large-size girdle. The shop assistant found the box with the described girdle marked "LG", and asked if I would like to try it on. “Oh, no, a large will fit just right. I needn’t try it on.”

The next morning was rather hot, so I waited to get dressed until about 45 minutes before time to go. I opened the box only to find a new girdle in a small size. Since it was too late to find another one and the dress wouldn’t fit right without a girdle, a fight broke out in the hotel room between me and the girdle. Have you ever tried to shake 20 pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag? That’s it. Finally my husband, laughing like crazy, got hold of each side and shook me down into it. At once I put on the pink dress, which didn’t match my red face well, and was ready to go.

Finally we got to the church. I heard one of the people say that they were having a High Mass. I turned to my husband and asked, "What is a High Mass?" He shrugged his shoulders.Unfortunately, I learned that this particular mass would last one hour, twenty-two minutes and eight and one half seconds—the priest (神父) was going to bless everything except my girdle.

A. 4 weeks later B. 4 weeks earlier

C. a fortnight earlier D. a fortnight later

2.What had the author wanted to do with the tight dress ?

A. To make herself thinner B. To buy a large size girdle

C. To put on some weight D. To shake herself into it

3.What can we know about the author ?

B. She had no choice but to put on the dress without a girdle .

C. She complained to the shop assistant about her carelessness .

D. She managed to put on the girdle with her husband’s help .

4.What would be the best title for the passage ?

C. A Tight Situation D. A Fierce Fight
