    Betty and I are best friends. Our birthdays are on the same day, so every year we have a birthday party together. But this year, we had a costume party instead.
    While we were writing the invitations, my mum came in and asked, “Why not invite John?” John had been in our class for only a few months, but he was already getting better grades in math than anyone else in class. I wrinkled(皱起) my nose, “Mum, he wears the same pants to school every day. How could he even afford a costume?” Mum said nothing. The next day, mum gave me an envelope with a shopping certificate(凭证) in it. “I thought it would be nice for you to give this to John.” Mum said. But how? We didn’t want to make John embarrassed. We discussed it for a long time. Finally, Betty and I had a good idea.
    On the day of our party, kids arrived, dressed differently. John arrived, in an old sheet(床单), but still in the same brown pants as usual. We danced, ate snacks and played games in groups. Before eating the birthday cake, Betty said in a loud voice, “Now it’s time for the great prize game. It’s the following riddle…” It was a math game. None of us was surprised when John came up with the right answer first and walked off with the envelope.
    Everything went on well as we planned. John wore a new pair of pants and a new shirt the next week. He felt happy. So did we.
    When we help others, we need to find a proper way, or we may hurt them in another way.

    A man came home from work late, tired and unhappy, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.

    Have you ever noticed that your fingertips are winked when you’ve just finished swimming or washing dishes? It seems as if your hands have aged 30 years in a second. But is this an accident? Or is it something that nature has built into our bodies?
    If your finger’s wrinkling up had no use at all, “ it wouldn’t need to.” Professor Tom Smulders from Newcastle University, UK, told BBC News. By studying wet fingers closely, Smulders and his partners found that the wrinkles looked a bit like the patterns on the car tire or on the bottom of the running shoes. So they made a guess that wrinkles on fingers might be able to help the hand hold things more tightly.
    To test this, researchers asked 20 people to pick up marbles from water with their hands. But before they started, some of the people had to keep their hands in water for half an hour.
    The researchers found that the people with wrinkled fingers completed the task the task faster than those with dry hands. But when they were asked to move dry marbles, all the people performed equally well, no matter they had the wrinkled fingers or not.
    Our ancestors might not have played with marbles, but wrinkled fingers could have made it easier for them to climb around in the wet forests and catch fish from rivers, researchers say.
    Similarly, our toes also get wrinkled in water. This may have developed from our ancestor’s need to run on wet ground.
    But the question is, if wrinkled fingers are so helpful, why don’t our hands just stay that way all the time? Researchers explained that wrinkling has its disadvantage: wet fingertips are far less sensitive than smooth ones, reducing our sense of touch.
    小题1:What does the underlined world “this ” in the third paragraph refer to?
    A．Whether fingers have wrinkles after they are put in water.
    B．Whether wrinkled fingers can hold things more tightly.
    C．Why keeping things in water makes them wrinkled.
    D．Why wrinkles help hands hold things more tightly.
    小题2:The test shows that ________.
    A．winkled hands hold dry things more tightly than dry hands do.
    B．dry hands hold dry things more tightly than wrinkled hands do.
    C．winkled hands hold wet things more tightly than dry hands do.
    D．dry hands hold wet things more tightly than wrinkled hands do.
    小题3:What might be the disadvantage of wrinkled fingers?
    A．They are too sensitive to be touched.
    B．They might be more likely to get hurt.
    C．They cannot hold things tightly enough.
    D．They are not so sensitive as dry fingers.

    A bag is useful and the word “bag” is useful, too. Here is an interesting phrase（短语）, “to let the cat out of the bag”. In meaning it is the same as “to tell the secret（秘密）”. And there is an old interesting story about it.
    　　Long ago, when farmers wanted to sell chickens at the market, they would usually just throw the chickens in cloth (布) bags. But cats were cheaper than chickens at that time, so many farmers would put cats into the cloth bags but not chickens. One day, a woman asked a man for a chicken. The man gave her a cloth bag in which there was a cat.      When the man opened the cloth bag, a big black cat ran out. Not a chicken! The man’s secret was out and everyone knew it.
    　　Now when we say someone gives away a secret, we say “he lets the cat out of the bag”. And that is the story where the interesting phrase came from.
    小题1:The underlined word “it” in the passage refers to (指的是)     .
    A．the useful bagB．the phraseC．the catD．the chicken
    小题2:The farmers put cats but not chickens in the bags to      when they sold chickens.
