Sometimes two very different individuals (個體)become the best friends. For example,, who could have thought that a spider would become friends with a pig? But in American writer E.B.White’ novel Charlotte’s Web, this is exactly what happens

Wibur the pig grows up in a barn(谷倉) and makes many friends, including a spider called Charlotte. One day a sheep tells Wibur that he will finally be served up as dinner. But Charlotte decides to save her friend. To help Wibur，Charlotte writes words like “terrific”, “radiant” and “humble” on her web to praise Wibur. This makes the farmer believe that is too important to kill.Wibur is saved, but Charlotte is so tired that she dies.

The book was first published in 1952. In over 60 years Charlotte has become one of the most famous spiders of all time. She teaches us about love and promise. “She is very, very loving under that crusty(暴躁),that ugly look,” Peter Neumeyer, writer of The Annotated Charlott’s Web

The book’s success drew the attention of Hollywood filmmakers , however, they wanted a happier ending. White was strongly against this idea and as a result the film, like the book, ends with Charlotte’s death.

Jen Doll, reporter with The Atlantic, believe that “death is a part of life”. She says this is one of the main messages of the book.

As Charlotte tells Wibur, “You have been my friend. That in itself is a wonderful thing. I wove(紡織)my webs for you because I like you. After all, what’s a life, anyway? We’re born, we live a little while and then we die. A spider’s life can’t help being something of a mess(雜亂), with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a little. God knows anyone’s life can stand a little of that.”

1.Which of the following about the story is TRUE?

A.It’s a good example of how differences make us different

B.It encourages children to love their family and friends

2.What is the disagreement about Charlotte’s Web between Hollywood filmmaker and White?

A.How Charlotte makes friends with Wibur

B.How to make Charlotte lovely

C.Whether Charrlotte should die

D.Whether Wibur should be killed

A.life could be boring and troublesome

B.friendship is more important than life

C.dying for a good cause is worthwhile(值得的)

D.life is like a web

Elizabeth and I are 18 now, and about to graduate. I think about our elementary school friendship, but some memories have blurred(模糊). What happened that day in the fifth grade when Beth suddenly stopped speaking to me? Does she know that I’ve been thinking about her for seven years? If only we could go back, and discover what ended our relationship.

I have to speak with Beth. I see her sometimes, and find out school is “fine”. It’s not the same. It never will be. Someone says that she’s Liz now. what happened to Beth?

I can’t call her. Should I write? What if she doesn’t answer me? How will I know what she’s thinking?

Yes, I’ll write her a letter. These things are easier to express in writing. “Dear Be-,” no, “Dear Li-” no, “Dear Elizabeth,” I begin. The words flow freely, as seven-year-old memories are reborn. I ask her all the questions that have been left unanswered in my mind, and pray she will answer. I seal my thoughts in the perfect white envelope, and imagine Beth looking into the mailbox. Will she know why I’m writing? Maybe she once thought of writing the same letter.

As the mailman takes my envelope from me forever, I wonder if I’ve made the right decision. Do I have the right to force myself into Beth’s life again? Am I simply part of the past? I have taken the first stop. Beth has control of the situation now.

One day has passed. Are my words lying on the bottom of the post office floor.

Two days are gone. I’m lost in thought and don’t even hear the phone ring.

There are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging is the silent but persuading salesman.

There on the shelves, each bottle, can ,box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer, because he/she is buying not only a product but also his/her belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products.”, as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feelings for packaging, noticed.

Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colours draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that is it very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.

Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.

This new consumer response to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people by to satisfy both body and soul.

1.According to the passage, _____ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.

A. the pleasing color of the package

B. he special taste of the product

D. the belief in the product

2.If a package or a product is round in shape, it can ____________.

A. bring excitement to the consumers

B. attract the consumers’ attention

C. catch the eye movement of the consumers

D produce a happy and peaceful feeling

3.“And the word green today can keep food prices going up ” This sentence suggests that consumers today are _________.

A. starting to notice the importance of new food

B. enjoying the beauty of nature more than before

C. beginning to like green vegetables

D. paying more attention to their health

4.It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of ________.

A vegetable dish B. healthy juice

C. iced drink D red vegetable
