I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be  1 Christmas gifts because there was not enough money.

A gentle breeze blew through Jennifer's hair. The golden red sun was setting. She was on the beach, looking up at the fiery (火紅的) ball. She was amazed by its color, deep red in the middle, softly fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the waves and the seagulls flying up above in the sky.    
The atmosphere relaxed her. After all she had been through, this was what she needed. "It's getting late," she thought, "I must go home. My parents will be wondering where I am."
She wondered how her parents would react, when she got home after the three days she was missing. She kept on walking, directing herself where she spent every summer holiday. The road was deserted. She walked slowly and silently. Just in a few hundred meters she would have been safe in her house.
It was really getting dark now. The sun had set a few minutes before and it was getting cold too. She wished she had her favorite sweater on: it kept her really warm. She imagined having it with her. This thought disappeared when she finally saw her front door. It seemed different. Nobody had taken care of the outside garden for a few days. She was shocked: her father was usually so strict about keeping everything clean and tidy, and now... It all seemed deserted. She couldn't understand what was going on.    
She entered the house. First, she went into the kitchen where she saw a note written by her father. It said: "Dear Ellen, there is some coffee ready. I went looking." Ellen was her mother but－where was she? On the right side of the hallway was her parents' room. She went in. Then she saw her. Her mother, lying on the bed, was sleeping. Her face looked so tired, as if she hadn't slept for days. She was really pale. Jennifer would have wanted to wake her up but she looked too tired. So Jennifer just fell asleep beside her. When Jennifer woke up, something was different－she wasn't in her mother's room and she wasn't wearing the old clothes she ran away in. She was in her cozy bed in her pajamas.     
It felt so good being back home. Suddenly she heard a voice, "Are you feeling better now, dear? You know you got us very, very scared."
小題1:Three days later Jennifer came back home     .
A．a(chǎn)t sunriseB．a(chǎn)t sunsetC．a(chǎn)t nightD．a(chǎn)t midday
小題2: What does the underlined phrase "This thought" most probably mean?
A．The idea of going back home.
B．Her anxiety about her parents.
C．The feeling of being warm in her favorite sweater.
D．The feeling of getting back home safely.
小題3: Her father didn't take care of the garden because     .

Banks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts(賬，賬戶); they rely on depositors (儲(chǔ)戶) not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows. The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank. Mrs Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.
小題1:A bank run happens when _______.
A．too many depositors try to draw out their money at one time　　
B．a(chǎn) bank is closed for one or more days
　		C．there is enough money to pay all its depositors at one time
D．tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank
小題2:The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to ________.
A．explain why they could not pay out all accounts
B．pay out accounts as requested
C．make the depositors believe that the bank was stand
D．pay out money as slowly as possible
小題3: According to the passage, the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were affected           mainly by the _______.
A．ease with which they could get their money
B．confidence that Mrs. Vaught showed
C．confidence shown by other depositors of the bank
D．failure of several other banks to open
