When you go shopping online, you will see many ads (广告) on the Web. You have to be careful not to be fooled or tricked by the ads on the Internet. Something is said to be a bargain, but it isn’t always cheap. And some “new” things are not new at all. They just have a new outside.
However, shopping online is a kind of fashion today. I love to buy things of everyday use, so I often get lots of information about them on websites online. For example, if I want an MP3 player, I can choose my favourite one, look for the messages left by the MP3 users, and then decide whether to buy it or not. And at the same time, we don’t have to go to a shop or walk around a crowded shopping area. It saves our time. The Internet is really useful for shopping, but be careful not to spend too much.
( )6. If you want to shop online, you should ______.
A. spend much on it B. always believe the ads
C. be careful not to be fooled D. never believe the ads
( )7. What does the writer think of the ads on the Internet?

C. They’re always fashions. D. They’re sometimes false.
( )8. The underlined word “bargain” in the passage probably means “______”.

I had many good friends when I was a middle school girl. But there is only one of them that I can never forget. Her name is Susan and she lived next to me. Although she was 2 years older than I, we liked each other.
At school, Susan was a star. She did very well in all the subjects, but never seemed to be proud (骄傲的) of that. She was quiet, but she was like an elder sister to all the students in my grade. She was always willing to help us.
Susan was very kind. She was the only child of her family. She was always polite to the old and the poor, and kind to her friends. She often gave her pocket money away to the poor people in streets. She was quiet and it might make her look weak, but behind her smiling face was a strong will (意愿) of her own. So no one at school would think she was a weak person.

My name is Lisa. Kitty is my best friend. She is a lovely girl with two big, beautiful eyes. But she always hides them behind a pair of glasses.
One day, I nearly ended our friendship. I remember that day clearly. We were sitting in the classroom. The teacher was giving us our results of a Chinese test. I had done badly. I felt so sad that I wouldn’t talk to anyone. At lunchtime, I even stayed in the classroom by myself. Suddenly, I heard a voice. It was Kitty. “You look very unhappy,” she said. “What’s wrong?” I looked up at her, but said nothing. I knew Kitty got a good mark in the test. I thought she was making fun of me. I kept quiet, but Kitty didn’t go away. She kept asking me questions, “Is it because of the exam? Do you want me to show you the right answers?” I looked away from her. When I looked up again, Kitty had gone. I thought a best friend shouldn’t do this!
In the afternoon, I couldn’t find my exam paper. However, Kitty came up to my desk with my exam paper! She said, “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you I took the paper. But as your friend, I must do something for you.” I looked at the paper and got a big surprise. Kitty had written the right answers next to every one of my mistakes ( 错误). My face turned red. She had been trying to help me all along. How nice
she was!
I held her hands, gave her a big hug ( 拥 抱), and said, “Thank you, Kitty, for not leaving me alone.” That afternoon, Kitty and I went home on foot together. I felt so happy that we were still best friends.
