My friends and I recently returned from our annual week at the beach. While we were there,a couple of us needed to pick up a few items at the grocery store.
As we were checking out,the cashier complimented me on my necklace. I thanked her,and she asked where I bought it. I had got it at the department store just down the street,and told her that it was on sale for 40% off. My friend suggested that she should walk over and purchase one during her break. But the cashier said she couldn't afford it right now.
As we left the grocery store,I told my friend I planned to buy one for her. She agreed,and offered to pay for half. So we went back to the depart?ment store and picked out a matching necklace for the cashier. As we paid for it,the sales lady noticed that I was wearing the same one. "You must really like this necklace," she commented.
We told her who we were buying it for,and after it was gift-wrapped,we addressed it to the cashier at the grocery store,since I remembered it from her name tag.
To our surprise,the sales lady knew her!
"She is a very sweet lady," she remarked, "but she is going through a rough patch right now and has to drive a long way to work. With gas prices so high,it sure isn't easy.” With excitement,we took the gift back to the grocery store and stood in line at the same cash register. When our time came we just handed her the gift. She knew immediately what we had done and was so thankful.
I grew up poor,with a single mother and two sisters. We had no help from our dad,and I never dreamed as a little girl that I would be able to help others.
Now,I try to do that on a regular basis,and it is very rewarding!

The English language was strongly influenced by an event that took place more than 1,400 years ago. In the year 597,the Roman Catholic Church began its attempt to make Christianity the religion of Britain.
The language of the Catholic Church was Latin. Latin was not spoken as a language in any country at that time. But it was still used by some people.
Latin made it possible for a church member from Rome to speak to a church member from Britain. Educated people from different countries could communi?cate by using Latin.
Latin had a great effect on the English language. The Latin word "dis?cus" became several words in English,including "disk", "dish" and "desk". Some English names of plants such as ginger and cedar come from Latin. So do some medical words such as cancer.
English is a little like a living thing that continues to grow. English began to grow more quickly when William Caxton returned to Britain in the year 1476. He had been in Holland and other areas of Europe where he had learned printing. He returned to Britain with the first printing press.
The printing press made it possible for almost anyone to buy a book. It helped spread education and the English language.
Slowly,during the 1500s English became the modern language we would recognize. English speakers today would be able to communicate with English speakers in the last part of the 16th century.
It was during this time period that the greatest writer in English produced his works. His name was William Shakespeare. His plays continue to be prin?ted,acted in theaters,and seen in motion pictures almost four hundred years after his death.
The development of the English language took a giant step just nine years before the death of William Shakespeare. Three small British ships crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 1607. They landed in an area that would later become the southern American state of Virginia. They began the first of several British colonies.
1. The fourth paragraph is developed by .
A. comparing and analysing

2. According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?
A. We can communicate with the people who lived in the 1550s.
B. The printing press played an important role in spreading English.
C. William Shakespeare contributed to the development of English.
D. It was only in Holland that William Caxton learned printing.
3. In which year did William Shakespeare die according to the passage?
A.1598. B.1600. C.1616. D.1620.
4. It can be inferred from the passage that the next paragraph probably writes
A. how to develop British colonies
B. the origin of American Virginia
C. the sail of three small British ships
D. the English development in British colonies
