This year I did something I’d never done—shopping at midnight on Black Friday after Thanksgiving. After
all, you can get cheap things online while comfortably in bed over a hot cup of coffee. So why would I stand traffic,
cold weather and crowds for a few bargains?
For my teenagers, spending time with Mom is usually down on their list next to homework and picking up the
dog waste. So, when they asked me to take them shopping at the mall at midnight on Black Friday, my first reaction
was definitely no! But my son, who usually runs the other way if I mention shopping, wanted me to take him
shopping. I felt needed, though I knew they actually wanted me to pay for their things, not quality time with Mom.
Then the hour-long car ride. We followed songs on the radio and talked about the deals we hoped to get. I had
opportunities to give them lessons on what not to do when driving, but I shared their happiness instead. And we all
connected as we sat with smiles at midnight.
The kids searched for a spot once we finally reached the busy parking lot. There was something about standing
in a line that snakes around the building in the freezing cold that brings people together. Once inside, we had to
work as a team, hoping to get just the right size and color. As I dug through mountain s of clothing for a particular
shirt for my husband and gave up, my daughter came toward me, shirt of the kind in hand and victory on her face.
“I got the last one!”
So we ended up at 3 am with some bargains. Nothing we couldn’t have found online or in stores at a
reasonable hour. But for me, I got quality time with my kids. Driving home tired, looking in the mirror at my
children’s sweet faces, I decided, “If they ask me to go again next year, I’m ready.”
4. What did the kids need according to the author?
A. Buying things online with comfort. B. Taking a cup of coffee comfortably.
C. Picking up the dog waste together. D. Shopping at their mother’s expense.
5. How did the author communicate with her kids during the drive to the mall?
A. She taught them some songs. B. She shared their excitement.
C. She taught them shopping tips. D. She lectured them on behavior.
6. Why did the daughter show victory on her face?
A. She had worked as a team member. B. She had searched out her clothes.
C. She had found a shirt for her father. D. She had been in line to see a snake.
7. How did the author find her shopping experience?
A. Enjoyable. B. Tiring. C. Heartbreaking. D. Money-wasting.
C
Saodat Sadikova is an English teacher in Jizzakh, Uzbekistan. As a young girl, she dreamed of becoming a
flight attendant (空乘人员) and traveling the world, so she learned at least three languages. Although she was not
able to become a flight attendant, Sadikova could speak Uzbek, Russian, English and Turkish. Sadikova has never
traveled abroad but reports feeling connected to people around the world.
American Trina Bright worked in education for nearly 25 years and she traveled to many countries, including
China and South Africa. Bright used stories from her travels to help her students in the U. S. understand their place
in the world and see value in their own cultures. But Bright, unlike Sadikova, does not report feeling connected to
people around the world.
Bright is not alone. Pew Research Center recently asked people in 24 countries a series of questions about how
connected they feel to the world to see how travel experience relates to feelings of connectedness.
The study found that respondents (调查对象) who had traveled to at least one other country feel more
connected to people around the world
.
99 percent of respondents in the Netherlands reported having visited at least
one other country and 77 percent of respondents from the Netherlands said they feel at least somewhat close to
people all over the world. But international travel does not always mean a person feels a closeness to people around
the world. 99 percent of Swedish respondents said they had visited at least one other country. Yet a much smaller
number of Swedish respondents—47 percent—report feeling close to people all over the world.
Sadikova said she felt connected to the world because of media, which makes it quite easy to get to know
events and news.
8. Why did Saodat Sadikova learn several languages?
A. To move abroad. B. To broaden her view.
C. To connect to the world. D. To achieve her flying dream.
9. What benefit did Trina Bright get from her travels?
A. She improved her education. B. She applied them to her teaching.
C. She understood the value of culture. D. She could speak a foreign language.
