1. C 考查对单词的理解。根据Emma and Hannah are 13–year–old school girls from Minnesota,USA可知她们是学生（school girls），故选C。
2. A 细节题的考查。文章说：The girls came up with the idea last summer指的是从去年夏天开始，故最佳答案选A，B,C,D不对，半年都不到的D。
3. D 从charms(小装饰物)的定义可知，Numbers指的数字，故不对，选C。根据There are different kinds of pictures,“Peace signs are popular with girls,and single–letter charms are popular with boys可知A,B,C都正确。
4. C 根据They hope they can sell their charms to more kids可知她们希望卖出更多的小装饰物，故选C。
5. D 根据single–letter charms are popular with boys可知B错误；从They’re thinking about selling their charms at the Eagan Market Festival next summer可知她们明年夏天还会卖，故C错；根据上面“Peace signs are popular with girls,and single–letter charms are popular with boys可知 D正确。A答案从文中看不出爱她们的父母。
