They came to where an old man sat. He was selling dirty pieces of cloth, smelly old bones, and all kinds of old and useless things. As they watched, two old women and an old man, equally dirty, smelly, and ugly, came into the shop. They carried large bags.
“Come and sit by the fire,” the shopkeeper said. “Tell me what you have to sell me.”
“Nothing a dead man will miss,” the first woman said with a nasty (让人讨厌的) laugh.
“If he wanted to keep them after he was dead, why wasn’t he a good man when he was alive If he was, he would have someone to look after him. He would not die alone.”
“That’s very true,” said the second woman, putting a few clothes on the floor. “He got the death he deserved.” She pointed at the clothes. “What will you give me for those, Joe ” She asked the shopkeeper, adding, “I did no wrong taking them from the dead man’s house.”
The shopkeeper looked at everything the woman wanted to sell him and put a price on it. Then he added everything up. The final amount was very small.

I was 11 years old standing outside in just my underwear while I watched the house that I grew up burning to the ground.
A few minutes earlier I was in bed when my grandma’s scream woke me up. A fire had broken out her room and woke her. Hearing her, my older brother jumped into action, running from room to room quickly waking everyone in the house. The house, however, was over 50 years old and made of wood. Before we could do anything, the fire burned’ it out. Luckily, we all ran outside before the fire took hold of every room.
I stood there shivering (发抖): I watched helplessly while my mom cried and my dad sighed (叹气). I wondered what was going to happen to us now that we lost all of our things.
The things that matter aren’t things. I saw my older brother running across the bridge near our house to get help. I saw my oldest brother who was on his walking stick standing unsteadily on one leg. I saw my grandma and dad wrapped in each other’s arms and my mom holding our little dog. I realized at that moment that we were all alive. Everything that was meaningful survived the fire. Our lives would continue. We would all be around to love each other for many years to come. And that was all that mattered.
I still think of that fire in the night. It helped me to become who I am today. It showed me for the very first time what is truly meaningful in this life. It helped me to learn that the love we share is far more important than the things we own.
Live your life for the things that matter, not for the things you own. Love others. Let the fire inside of you make this world a warmer place.

A.It didn’t take long to burn the house out. B.We were all woken by the fire.
C.The fire happened in an early morning. D.All of us tried to put out the fire.
33.At the beginning of which paragraph can we put the sentence “As I looked around, though, I realized something for the first time.”
A.Paragraph 2 B.Paragraph 3 C.Paragraph 4 D.Paragraph 5
34.What does the underlined phrase “took hold of” probably mean
A.entered B.burned C.caught D.influenced
35.Which sentence best shows the central theme (主题) in the passage
A.We were helpless because we had lost all of our things.
B.Everything that was meaningful had survived the fire.
C.The fire helped me to become the person who I am today.
D.The love we share is far more important than what we own.

Changes in our lives
With the development of China’s economy, great changes have taken place in our lives in the past few years.
There are more and more people in my town now. The roads are wider and cleaner, and the public transport is better. As a result, it is easier for us to travel. In the past, people went to work or school on foot or by bicycle, but now most people have their own cars. School buildings used to be very old. Students could only get knowledge from books. However, things have changed a lot. Students now study in tall and bright buildings and they can surf the Internet for more information.
I truly believe that we are living happier lives than before, and I take great pride in my hometown. I hope for a better life in the future. I want to help make our world better and enjoy new ways of living.
