Some are looking for a deal on that one item for their loved one, or perhaps themselves. Their intentions are pletely unrelated to the festive time of the year.It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a childs bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle. After a while the whistle blew. It was like throwing a bucket of small fish into a tank of sharks. I told my wife that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.As the pile of bikes began to gradually decrease in size, I saw my polite opportunity to wrap my hands around the corner of one of the boxes. I lifted it up and suddenly felt some mild resistance. I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not the word to describe his presence. He wore lots of belts of metal studded leather around both arms and even his neck. Tattoos (文身) were an obvious passion of his.I started to give up the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.” My wife and I went to the checkout, paid for the bike and went home. All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best gift I had ever received for Christmas. The kindness of a stranger broke all preconceived notions (预想) I may have had of stereotypes and prejudices.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者和妻子想在黑色星期五大抢购时给儿子买辆自行车，无奈百货商店里人山人海。作者本想放弃，没想到一个陌生人把自行车盒子让给了他。这让作者改变了之前对他人的偏见。4How did the author feel when going into the store?AThe crowd was like small fish.BThey might not get the bike.CHe was excited to do the shopping.DThe whistle was blown too late.答案与解析：B推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I told my wife that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.”可知作者进入商店时已经做好了买不到自行车的打算，故选B项。5What happened when the author was buying the bike?AHe was scared by a mans look at first.BA gentleman bought the bike for him.CA stranger helped him lift the box.DHe gave up the bike he first touched.答案与解析：A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life.
