1．When my son，Mark，was in the third grade，he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents．The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket．
I drove him to a nearby supermarket．Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car．It took Mark over 45minutes to choose his presents．Finally he came to the checkout counter （交款處） and reached into his pocket for his money．It was not there!There was a hole in his pocket，but no money．Mark stood there holding his basket，tears falling down his face．
Then a surprising thing happened．A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms．"You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you，"said the woman．"It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me．I only ask that one day you will pass it on．When you grow up，I would like you to find someone you can help．When you help others，I know you will feel as good about it as I do now．"
Mark took the money，dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could．That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us．
I would like to say"thank you"to that very kind woman，and tell her that four years later，Mark went house to house collecting blankets （毯子） and clothes for the homeless people in the fire．And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on．

21．When did the story probably happen？B
A．On Christmas Day．
B．Before Christmas Day．
C．On New Year's Day．
D．After New Year's Day．
22．What happened to Mark in the supermarket？C
A．His gifts were stolen．
B．He broke his basket．
C．He lost his money．
D．He lost his way．
23．Why did the writer want to say"thank you"to the woman？A
A．Because she taught Mark to help people in need．
B．Because she bought Mark a nice present．
C．Because she always paid money for others．
D．Because she collected clothes for the homeless．
24．What's the best title for this passage？D

19．Happy birthday!Does birthday really make people happy？（71）A Birthday celebrates the day when we were born．Candles on the cake suggest another year of growth-or so we hope．Most of us enjoy seeing the wonder of growth in others，as well．For instance，seeing our children develop and learn new things makes us feel proud．For Americans，like people in most cultures，growing up is a wonderful process．But growing old？（72）B
Growing old is not exactly for people in youth-oriented （以年輕人為中心） American culture．Most Americans like to look young，act young and feel young．（73）F  Older people joke about how many years young they are，rather than how many years old．

A．Of course they do．
B．That is a different story．
C．People are living longer．
D．But many people dont think so．
E．Some even experience age discrimination．
