第一节 阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I was in a charity shop looking at the cond hand books. It just so happened that the book shelves were next to the toy ction. After a few minutes I became aware of a group of women standing behind me. They were poorly dresd and spoke in what sounded like an eastern European language. As they looked through the clothes rails a little girl, about three years old, came over to the toy ction. Immediately her attention was caught by a toy pram（婴儿车）. What is it about little girls and toy prams? I don't know, but whatever it is its incredibly cute!
She spoke to her mother and, in halting English her mother asked the shop assistant how much it cost. Three pounds was the answer---about five dollars. The mum looked down at her child, perhaps calculating what she still had to buy and how much money she would have left. Then she simply shook her head.
The child didn't react badly as some might. Being told “no” was obviously not a new experience for her. But she couldn't keep the disappointment from her face.
I had the grand total of four pounds in my pocket, two two-pound coins. A moment later I t婚礼创意
apped the mother on the shoulder, pointed to the coins which I had left in the pram and said, "Buy her a dolly too."
I didn't hang about to e the end result. After all, it's not about being thanked. I made my way out of the shop and into the sunshine.
