A well-dressed man came to a famous jewelry shop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wife’s birthday. The price didn’t matter. Since business had been very good for him that year. After examining a nice black one that cost $5000, he paid for the pearl in cash, shook hands with the jeweler, and left.
A few days later the man returned and said that his wife liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it. It had to be exactly the same size and quality, because she wanted a pair of earrings made, “Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl? ” said the man. The jeweler regretfully replied, “I would say it’s exactly impossible to find one exactly like that pearl.”
The rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newspapers, offering $ 25,000 for the matching pearl. Many people answered the advertisement but nobody had a pearl that was just right.
Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady came into his store. To his great surprise, she pulled the perfect pearl from her purse. “I don’t like to part with it,” she said sadly, “I got it from my mother, and my mother from hers. But I really need the money. ”
The jeweler was quick to pay her before she changed her mind. Then he called the rich man’s hotel to tell him the good news. The man, however, was nowhere to be found.

“ Yeah! Auntie is here! “ screamed my husband’s niece and nephew together. “ Let me get the door!” “ No, let me !” Each one’s goal was to get there first and open the door for their Auntie, Me!
I couldn’t get enough of them, of their youthful love of life, and their excitement every time I visited! To be honest, it was partially because of the Surprise Travel Bag that I carried in. It was a tradition that I started when they were young. Each time I went to see them, I would take a large bag filled with toys, coloring books, candy, magic markers and “games”.
The contents(內容) were different but the rules were not. They included: one may get a turn to choose what activity we would do; another may take a turn to go first when we played a game; ..... We shared the treats after the games and cleaned up after we played . Then, sadly, they watched the Surprise Travel Bag go away with their Auntie.
Now my niece and nephew have grown into young adults. They spend most of their visits listening to their iPods, messaging on their phones.... I completely forgot that I had put my two Surprise Travel Bags in the basement(地下室) until my husband found them this weekend.
I held the bags tightly in my arms, remembering our laughter and fun-filled get-togethers. My big decision now is to whom I will pass the Surprise Travel Bags so that the fun that the bags help to create can continue.
1.When the author came for a visit, the children were _________.
A. uninterested B. excited C. bored D. upset
2.We learn from the passage that the author would ________.
A. change the contents in the bags
B. change the rules each time she visited
C. choose the activity for the children
D. leave the bag behind for the children
3.The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to ________.
A. sell her Surprise Travel Bags
B. show us how to travel happily
C. share her good memories
D. teach us how to play with children
4.Why did the author forget the Surprise Travel Bags?
A. Because she is too old to remember them.
B. Because the children have grown up and have their own interests.
C. Because she has put too many things in the basement.
D. Because she doesn’t like the children any longer.
5.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Surprise Travel Bags B. How to Play with Children

India has many festivals, with some celebrations that last for weeks. However, none of them come even close to Holi, India’s most colorful and fun festival. Celebrated on the day following the full moon, this year’s festival happens to be on March 19th.
As with most Indian festivals, this one also has many different folk stories. Most of them center around the success of good over evil. The most popular one is about a king, who hates his son Prahlada for loving the creator of the Universe—Lord Vishnu. When every attempt to stop him fails, his sister, Holika believed to be immune(免疫的) to fire, joins in the effort by inviting the young boy to sit with her inside a huge fire. Helped by the power of Lord Vishnu, Prahlada escapes safely, while the evil Holika is burned to death. To remember this event, huge outdoor fires are lit in the night before Holi in order to clean the air of evil spirits and to celebrate the death of the evil.
So what’s so great about this day? While there are some fun parades(游行) and folk songs and dance performances, the most fun of all is walking to the streets and splashing(潑灑) people with water guns and dry colors and even covering them with entire buckets of colored water. On this day, everybody is fair game, no matter how old or how young.
At about midday, the splashing comes to an end and people living close to oceans or rivers usually take a bath in the water to clean themselves before going home to a delicious home-made big dinner and a well-deserved short sleep, following this full day of fun and activities.
1.Why does the king dislike his son Prahlada?
A. Because Prahlada doesn’t love him.
B. Because Prahlada is rude to Holika.
C. Because Prahlada loves Lord Vishnu.
D. Because Prahlada concentrates on his own success.
2.Prahlada gets out of danger __________.
A. with the help of Lord Vishnu
B. because of his good luck
C. by beating his aunt Holika
D. using his amazing talent
3.The underlined phrase “fair game” in Paragraph 3 refers to a person who __________.
A. fights against others fairly
B. enjoys splashing people
C. plays a trick on others
D. is the aim of splashing water
4.After the fun activities, people living close to oceans or rivers often take a bath because __________.
A. they have got dirty with dry colors and colored water
B. going home with colored water means bad luck
C. they believe clean water will bring good luck
D. taking a bath shows their true love for Lord Vishnu
