The rumor proved all too bitterly true: Park’s hardware, a downtown institution of Orono for over 100 years, would be closing. Locals cross-examined, and begged Lin, the owner of the store, but it seemed useless. Running a small, local, family-owned hardware business was no longer profit maker. The town’s love for Park’s Hardware was just not enough to allow it to compete against the giant warehouse stores. I was one member of the excited masses that began to walk through Park’s as, day by day, the lettering on the front window changed from “20% OFF EVERYTHING” to “30%,” “40%,” and on and on, until the only things left were the light sockets and doorknobs. Compared with giant warehouses, a hardware store is special. I recall the time I was exploring in one giant warehouse for a wireless doorbell that Park’s didn’t carry. I found the thing, but didn’t understand the following note on the package: “Red light indicates condition of the battery.” “Excuse me,” I said to a clerk, holding the item out, “I can’t seem to find the red light.” The man examined it, and said, “Neither can I.” I compared this experience with one I usually had at Park’s. “Lin,” I’d beg. “Can you…please…I don’t know…do you think…?” And quicker than one could say, “little red light,” Lin would spring into action and together we’d sit down to find the solution. I could buy a single screw at Park’s. At a warehouse I have no choice but to buy a box of a hundred screws. But I don’t want a box of a hundred screws when all I need is one. I just want to know the location of the little red light, and now that Park’s is gone, I realize that I never will. 【1】Why did Park’s decide to stop its business? A.The owner invested in other business B.The owner couldn’t make enough money C.Its location was not convenient for shopping D.It couldn’t win enough love from the locals 【2】What did Park’s do before closing? A.It had a closing down sale B.It looked for a new owner C.It struggled for its reorganization D.It distributed its goods to regulars 【3】What does the writer’s experience in Paragraph3 suggest? A.The good service of Park’s B.The benefit of having more choices C.The pressure of competition for Park’s D.The responsible working attitude of large stores 【4】How did the writer feel about the closing-down of Park’s? A.Supportive B.Sorry C.Surprised D.Uninterested |

How to write a letter for advice The need to ask for advice comes up regularly throughout life.【1】You cannot communicate with others directly, so you need to think things through in advance, provide all necessary information and ask proper questions. Introduce yourself. If the person doesn’t know who you are, you will write a short paragraph to introduce yourself at the beginning of the letter.【2】If you are writing to someone you don’t know, briefly let them know how you found them. State why you are writing. After introducing yourself (if necessary), you will want to get straight to the point.【3】Examples include: “I am writing to ask if you could help me with…”, “I would appreciate it if you could give me some advice about…”, “I am writing to ask for your advice,” “I wonder if you could help me with a problem.” 【4】If you’re asking for advice on a problem or situation that you have been trying to solve on your own, but haven’t been able to, then briefly explain what you have tried, and why it didn’t seem to work. Keep it brief.【5】This is because they will have to spend lots of time reading and understanding your letter. Apart from that, you should keep it short and to the point and it will increase your chances of receiving a reply. A.Begin by explaining the purpose of your letter B.Make a list of people who you think could help you C.Think about why the person should want to help you D.Show why you have trouble achieving the goal by yourself E.Asking for advice in writing is different from a face-to-face conversation F.It should include information about who you are and the reason why you are writing G.The people you are asking for advice will be less likely to respond if they get a very long and detailed letter |

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 My wife and I used to feel that it was 【1】 (possible) to be a true friend to someone【2】 name we didn’t know. How wrong we were! A few 【3】 (year) of Sunday-morning bus trips through the city with 【4】 same group of “nameless” people have changed our thinking. Before the bus takes off, we all join 【5】 a conversation: where’s the silent woman who always sits up front and never responds to our greetings? Here she comes. Her worn clothing suggests she doesn’t have much money to spare, 【6】 she always takes an extra cup of coffee for the driver. Then, one evening, we went to a fish restaurant. We were shown to a table next to someone 【7】 (sit) alone. It was the woman from the bus. We greeted her as usual, but this time her face softened, then a shy smile. When she 【8】 (speak), the words escaped difficultly from her lips. All at once we realized 【9】 she hadn’t talked with us before. Talking was hard for her. Over dinner, she told us her story. We got along very well and became friends. Our fish had never tasted 【10】 (good), and when we parted—we shared names. |
