项,并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be 21
Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought, "What would I say when the other
kids asked what I'd 22 ?" Just when I started to 23 that there would not be a Christmas that year, three
women 24 at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of 25 that I
would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn't 26 . Somebody had thought 27
of me to bring me a gift.
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my 28 Christmas
there special and memorable, I 29 remembered the women's visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same
feeling of 30 for as many children as I could possibly reach.
So I 31 a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿)
at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school
supplies, 32 with a child's name. We wanted all of them to know they were. 33 . Before I called out their
names and handed them their gifts, I 34 them that they couldn't open their presents 35 every child had
come forward. Finally the 36 they had been waiting for came as I called out, "One, two, three. Open your
presents!" As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles 37 up the room.
The 38 in the room was obvious, and 39 wasn't just about toys. It was a feeling — the feeling I knew 40
that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn't forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I
matter.

E
I needed to buy a digital camera, one that was simply good at taking good snaps (快照), maybe
occasionally for magazines. Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the net, spent 15
minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and
headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And
it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked an assistant, “Can I have one of those?” He looked
perturbed (不安).“Do you want to try it first?" he said. It didn't quite sound like a question. "Do I need to?" I
replied. "There's nothing wrong with it?" This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad. "No, no.
But you should try it," he said encouragingly." Compare it with the others. "
I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of
slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same
basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against
Y, always trying to take Z and possibly H into account at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still
have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera
out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very
quickly be replaced by a new model.
But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever
choice, the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man.
So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow
shoppers... and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a
carry-case and a memory card as well.
Why do we think that new options (选择) still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an
opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like
to imagine.

A. know more people B. find cheap accommodation C. get the right accommodation quickly D. get free information about mos t accommodations
University accommodation(住所) offices
Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords (房东).
Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organizations.
The advantage of using your university accommodation office is that you can get some support
if you have a problem. The disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered
landlords to house all their students.
Property papers: Loot and Renting
Loot is an important source (来源) of information about private housing for co-renters.
The offers are from private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters.
They also have a website: www. loot. com. The advantage of using Loot is that there are some
excellent bargains. The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.
Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation
agencies. Their website is at www. Renting.co. uk.
Accommodation agencies
The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through
accommodation agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will
have access to a large number of accommodations. A good agent will listen to your
requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation. The disadvantage
is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.
Noticeboards
Around the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of
accommodation will be posted. These will either be from landlords or from students. Some
universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students.
Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation. However,
advertisements from landlords can be problematic.
Word of mouth
Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of
students to another by word of mouth. It might be that you can find out about good offers from
final year students. However, don't suppose that just because you have found out about housing
from a friend it is necessarily, going to be better than that found through any other source.
Family
Faced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will
consider buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice.
