Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.
Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart(购物手推车). They will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles. But few will know—or even think to ask—who it was that invented them.
Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging(吃力地携带) groceries around in baskets they had to carry.
One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.
On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention.
But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.
After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one shopper replied.
But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To end this, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony(假冒的)customers.
As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come—those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.
Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937—before the coming of the shopping cart.
小题1:What do the underlined words “chrome-plate contraptions” in Paragraph 1 refer to ? ( no more than 3 words)
小题2:What was the purpose of Goldman’s invention? (no more than 8 words)
小题3:Why was Goldman disappointed at first? (no more than 6 words)
小题4:Why did Goldman hire people to push carts around his market? (no more than 10 words)

The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan
The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boy in my class often          about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.
All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who           that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with american kids. I looked down at this           girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.
But how could I help her            in with us? There had to be a           .
One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had            her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n)           copy.
I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming          show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had          . “why, it’s wonderful,” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted          the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough          . Could you help me, Suzy?”
On the day of the talent show, Suzy’s             were everywhere ---- all over the hall and all over the school, each one different.
“And finally,” said Mr Brown, the schoolmaster, at the end of the show, “we have a (n) award. I’m sure you’ve all noticed the wonderful posters.” Everyone nodded. “One of our own students            them.”
I could hear everyone whispering. “Who in our school could draw          well?”
Mr. Brown waited a while before saying, “           this student worked so hard on the posters, she deserves a             ,too. Our mystery(神秘) artist is our new student ---- Suzy Khan!”
Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you,” she cried.
I            , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never          anything in her whole life.
Everyone started to            their hands. Suzy Khan gave them a shy smile and the applause was defening. I knew then Suzy was going to ne all right.
