When I was ten my dad helped me buy my first ten-speed bicycle from Allen. I put up $60 of my grass cutting and snow shoveling (鏟) money and my dad put up the other half I would pay him back over the next six months. Although it was not in the latest style, it was my ticket to the adult world.
I spent that summer and autumn riding happily. My sister Liz, a prisoner(囚犯,俘虜) of her five-speed bicycle, never had a chance to keep up. Just before the Christmas deadline to pay my dad back, we were hit with several snowstorms. This allowed me to shovel enough driveways (車道) to pay off my debt. I was now officially a bike owner; it was a feeling unlike any other.
On that Christmas morning, my dad gave me a used portable (便攜式的) record player. I was excited. However, my joy was short-lived after my dad called my sister to the kitchen. “We have one more gift for you. ” he said as he opened the door that led to the garage. There, on the steps, stood a new ten-speed bicycle.
“It’s not fair,” I complained. “I worked so hard for my bike, and it’s not even new. Then Liz gets a new bike. She didn’t have to do anything for it. ” My dad smiled. “She didn’t have to do anything for it because it’s not really for her,” he said. What did that mean? I didn’t want her bike.
By spring Liz and I were tiding all over town together now that she could keep up. As we grew, Liz and I became true friends.
Still I wasn’t smart enough to figure out what my dad meant until years later. That new bike was not a gift for Liz — it was a gift for me. He’d given me the gift of my sister’s company, the ability to stay together rather than drift apart (逐漸疏遠) in the face of my ability to travel. He gave me my best friend.

Fix it on your own
Did you know that a bowl of rice could save your iPod if you drop it in a swimming pool by accident? Or that the camera on your phone could tell you what’s wrong with your TV remote control? The experts at Geek Squad (geelsquad.co.uk) have made a gadget (小機件) rescue guide. So, let’s take a look at some of their useful advice.
? How to get more juice out of your phone batter
If your battery goes dead but you need to get a number or send one last text, try warming it up. That may give you a tiny bit of power. Take the battery from the phone and rub it between your hands. Or warm it under your arm for a few minutes. Then try to start the phone but use it quickly.
? What to do if your gadget gets wet
First, try drying it out with a vacuum cleaner (真空吸塵器). If a vacuum cleaner isn’t at hand, fill a pot or bowl with uncooked rice and put your wet gadget inside. The dry, uncooked rice will absorb all the water and, after a few hours, you should be able to use the gadget. Don’t forget to remove the battery and SIM card before you dry it.
? What to do if your TV remote control stops working
If replacing the batteries doesn’t work, get the camera function up on your phone and point the remote at the lens (鏡頭). When you press a button on the remote, if it is working, the glass bobble (小球) at the front of the remote will light up when you look at it on the screen of your phone. This is because the screen on a phone or digital camera picks up infrared rays (紅外線), even though your eyes don’t. If the glass bobble doesn’t light up, the remote is broken. If it does, the receiving device (裝置) is broken.
1.If your cell phone falls into a sink, you can _________.
A. warm it up under your arm
B. remove the battery after you dry it
C. put it into the uncooked rice
D. press it with both of your hands
2.Why can a phone be used to prove the TV remote control works well? Because it can _____.
A. improve the TV remote control
B. receive infrared ray
C. picture the TV remote control
D. reflect infrared ray
3.In which section of a newspaper can we possibly read this text?
A. LifeB. Entertainment
C. FinanceD. Culture
4.The purpose of this passage is to give people __________.
A. personal opinionsB. professional guides
C. necessary warningsD. practical tips

Jayne Fisher watched anxiously as her 17-year-old daughter Katie pulled her lamb(羊羔) into the Madison County Junior Livestock for sale.
Katie was battling cancer. This was her first chance in months to be outdoors having fun, away from hospitals and treatments, and she had come with high hopes for earning some money for her treatment. She had wavered a little on her decision to part with the lamb, but with lamb averaging two dollars a pound, Katie was looking forward to it. So the bidding(出價began.
That’s when Roger Wilson, the auctioneer(拍賣師), had a sudden inspiration that brought some unexpected results. “We sort of let everybody here know that Katie had a situation that wasn’t too pleasant,” is how he tells it. He hoped that his introduction would push the bidding up, at least a little bit.
Well, the lamb sold for $11.50 a pound, but things didn’t stop there. The buyer paid up, then decided to give the lamb back so that it could be sold again.
That started a chain reaction, with families buying the animal and giving it back, over and over again. When local businesses started buying and returning, the earnings really began to pile up. The first sale is the only one Katie’s mom remembers. After that, she was crying too hard as the crowd kept shouting, “Resell! Resell! ”
Katie’s lamb was sold 36 times that day, and the last buyer gave it back for good. Katie ended up with more than $16,000 to pay her medical expenses——and she still got to keep her famous lamb.
1.Katie sold her lamb in order to_______.
A. earn an amount of money to cover her medical expenses
B. help her mother support their family and keep more lambs
C. show her lamb was a famous one and raise some money
D. get some unexpected results from a chain reaction
2.Why did families buy Katie’s lamb and return it repeatedly?
A. They had fun in reselling it.
B. The auctioneer ordered them to do so.
C. They wanted to help Katie from the heart
D. Katie’s mother cried for help.
3.The word “waver” in the second paragraph probably means _______.
A. agree B. hesitate C. refuse D. focus
4.What is the best title of the passage?
A. Battling cancer B.A warm-hearted auctioneer
C. Bidding from the heart D.A wise lamb
