　　It was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.

　　“Any old papers, lady？” asked one of them.

　　I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow.

　　“Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”

　　They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.

　　The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich？”

　　“Am I rich? Pity, no！”

　　I looked at my worn­out slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.

　　Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.

　　I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.

　　I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.

　　The drug store was closing for the night. Young Alfred Higgins, the shop-assistant, was ready to go home. Mr. Carr, the boss, stared at him and said: “Hold on, Alfred. Maybe you'd be good enough to take the things out of your pockets and leave them here before you go.” Alfred's face got red. After a little hesitation, he took out what he had stolen. Mr. Carr said, “Maybe I should call your mother and let her know I'm going to have to put you in prison.”

　　Alfred thought his mother would come rushing in, eyes burning with anger. But, to his surprise, she arrived wearing a smile. “Hello, I'm Alfred's mother. Is he in trouble?” she said. Mr. Carr was surprised, too. He had expected Alfred's mother to come in nervously, shaking with fear, asking with wet eyes for a mercy for her son. But no, she was most calm, quiet and pleasant and was making Mr. Carr feel guilty…. Soon Mr. Carr was shaking his head in agreement with what she was saying. “Of course”, he said, “I don't want to be cruel. You are right. Sometimes, a little good advice is the best thing for a boy at certain times in his life and it often takes the youths long time to get sense into their heads.” And he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins's hand. Back home, without even looking at Alfred, she said, “You are a bad luck. It is one thing after another, always has been. Why do you stand there so stupidly? Go to bed.” In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. There was no shame in him, just pride in his mother's strength. He felt he must tell her how great she was. As he got to the kitchen, he saw his mother drinking a cup of tea. He was shocked by what he saw. His mother's face was a frightened, broken one. It was not the same cool, bright face he saw earlier in the drug store. As she lifted the tea cup, her hand shook. And some of the tea splashed on the table. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. He watched his mother without making a sound. The picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth coming to an end. He saw all the troubles he brought his mother in her shaking hand and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him for the first time he had ever really seen his mother.

　　44. Which of the following is probably said by Mrs. Higgins while talking to Mr. Carr?

　　A. “Please, for God's sake, you know, he is just a kid.”

　　B. “I can't believe it! You are treating my son like that!”

　　C. “You know, it takes time for a youth to truly grow up.”

　　D. “Punishment makes sense because it teaches about the law.”

　　45. What does the underlined phrase "his mother's strength"(Para. 3) refer to?

　　A. Mrs. Higgins's calmness and communicating skills.

　　B. Mrs. Higgins's attitude towards parental sufferings.

　　C. Mrs. Higgins's love and care for her son Alfred.

　　D. Mrs. Higgins's greatness as a woman.

　　46. After the incident, young Alfred would probably ________.

　　A. feel ashamed of her mother

　　B. change his attitudes towards life

　　C. learn to live an independent life

　　D. hate Mr. Carr for hurting her mother

　　D

　　People are being tricked into Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information.

　　Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook because people don’t really know what their personal data is worth.

　　The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules early on you keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook. You could create your own little private network. Last year. The company changed its privacy rules so that many things; your city, your photo, your friends’ names were set, by default (默认)to be shared with everyone on the Internet.

　　According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information. They have a “less satisfying experience.

　　Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. In original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them. At the side of the pages totally, who wants to took at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?

　　The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April. Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social networking sites. “I think the senator rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.

　　I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it’s only the beginning，which is why I’m considering cancelling my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That’s too high a price to pay.

　　47. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?

　　A. It is a website that sends messages to users who want to get married.　

　　B. It s money by putting on advertisements.

　　C. It makes money by selling its users’ personal data.

　　D. It provides loads of information to its users.

　　48. What does the author say about most Facebook users?

　　A. They are unwilling to give up their personal information.

　　B. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook.

　　C. They don’t identify themselves when using the website.

　　D. They care very little about their personal information.

　　49. Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?

　　A. To provide better service to its users.

　　B. To obey the Federal guidelines.

　　C. To improve its users’ connection

　　D. To expand its business.

　　50. Why does the author plan to cancel his Facebook account?

　　A. He is dissatisfied with its present service.

　　B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.

　　C. He doesn’t want his personal data badly used.

　　D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.
