“That’s just ten pounds,” he said.
“That’s big enough,” Mrs. Parker said.
The butcher worked out(計算) the price.
“At $ 4.99 a pound that will be $ 49.90, please. Would you like me to cut it into small pieces for you?”
“Oh, I don’t want to buy the meat,” Mrs. Parker said.
“If you don’t want to buy it,” the butcher said angrily, “Why did you ask me to get it for you?”

New York Time —A gunman killed eight people at a mall in Omaha this afternoon and then killed himself,  setting off panic among holiday shoppers,  the police said.
“The person who we believe to be the shooter has died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds, ” Sgt. Teresa Negron of the Omaha Police Department said at televised news.  “We have been able to clear the mall, ” she said. “We don’t believe we have any other shooters. ” The police said that at least five other people had been injured in the shootings.

Chuck was thirteen when he came home from the hospital. He came home not because he was getting better but because he wanted to be with people he knew and loved when he died. I came by the house to visit him and his family several times a week during his treatment. On most of my visits, Chuck was very weak. But the last time I saw him alive, he was awake. “I have got something for you.” He pulled out a piece of crumpled (弄皺的) paper from under his pillow. “I want you to give this to my mom and dad after I die. You’ll know when it’s right, I guess, won’t you?”
“What is it?” I asked. “It’s a list of all the fun we had, and all the happy time when we laughed.” I almost gasped in great surprise.
“Like what?” I asked quietly, trying to regain my calmness.
“Like the time when Mom, Dad, Chrissie, Linda and me were dressed up as fruits and Dad was driving us to a costume party. Dad was a bunch of grapes and I was an apple, and the others were different things like bananas and pears.”
And a policewoman pulled Dad over for speeding. When the policewoman came up to the car, she looked and started laughing so hard that she could hardly stand up. And we all started laughing and she said, “Where are you all heading — a salad bar?” Dad said he was sorry to be speeding, but his kids were getting so ripe（成熟的） that they were starting to draw flies. And she laughed till she had to take off her dark glasses and wiped tears from her eyes.”
Chuck laughed and so did I. The list was full of laughing and fun. What a wonderful gift, I thought.
小題1:Why did Chuck go home from the hospital?
A．He had been cured by the doctors.
B．He got better and better.
C．He missed his friends and teachers.
D．He wanted to be with people who he knew and loved when he died.
小題2:What did Chuck write on the list?
A．What to do after his death. B．His thoughts about fear, anger and disappointment.
C．What to do before his death. D．All the happy time he had with his family.
小題3: Why did the policewoman laugh when she looked into the car?
A．Because she mistook the children for fruits.
B．Because she saw some flies around the children.
C．Because she was frightened.
D．Because the children were dressed in a funny way.
小題4: The underlined expression “pulled Dad over” probably here means “________”.

What should you think about when you try to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others, and these may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value.
　  Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at mental work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
　  Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school records, for instance, may not be very good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not feel sorry about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
小題1:In the writer’s opinion, for a student to have a part-time job is probably ________.
A．a(chǎn) good way to find out his weak points
B．one of the best ways of earning extra money
C．of great use for his work in the future
D．a(chǎn) waste of time he could have spent on study
小題2:If a student’s school record is not good, according to the passage, he ________.
A．may do well in his future work
B．won’t be able to find a suitable job
C．may be a complete failure in the future
D．will regret not having worked harder at school
小題3: The whole passage centers around ________.
A．looking for a part-time job
B．developing one’s abilities at school
C．gaining much knowledge by working hard at school
D．knowing yourself before trying to choose a career
