One day, as two little boys were walking along the road, they passed a woman carrying a large basket of apples.
The boys thought the woman looked very pale and tired, so they said, “Are you going to the town? If you are, we will help you carry your basket.” “Thank you,” replied the woman. Then she told them that she had a disabled son. She lived in a small house three miles away, and was now going to the market to sell the apples which grew on the only tree in her little garden. She needed the money for their living.
“We are going the same way you are,” said the boys and they took hold of the basket, one on each side, and trudged along with the heavy basket. The poor woman looked glad, and 试卷第6页，共12页

The woman then offered to give them a few apples for their help. “No, thank you. We want nothing for what we have done,” said the boys. When the women got home, she told her son what had happened on the road, and they were both happier that day by the kindness of the two boys.
Another day, the woman saw his son stop and pick up a piece of orange peel,which he throw into the dustbin. “I wish people would not throw orange peel on the sidewalk,” said the son. “Someone may walk on it, and fall.”

九、阅读填表
阅读下面短文, 根据其内容, 完成表格中所缺的信息, 并按编号把答案依次填在题后的横线上。
When I first started using Chinese websites, I had some difficulty understanding their design （设计）. Popular sites like Taobao and Jingdong are very “busy”—they are covered in plenty of links（链接）and flashing ads. They often include all kinds of bright colors as well. But if we take a look at most western websites, they usually have the simpler colors.
So why are Chinese websites designed this way? Some say that Chinese web design hasn’t “caught up” to standard（标准）Western web design practices. But I don’t think this quite explains it. Some Chinese sites, such as Baidu, are quite clean-looking.
A more possible explanation has to do with the Chinese language. There are no large litters or spaces in Chinese writing. That might make foreigners who are used to seeing these things in their letter writing think that Chinese text looks very crowded.
Another thing that makes Chinese websites look so busy is the large number of links. Some sites might have hundreds of links on their front page. Again, there is a
language-related explanation. It is difficult to type Chinese on a Roman alphabet﹣based keyboard. You have to type out each character using pinyin, which can be inconvenient. So it’s easier just to click the link you want, instead of typing what you’re looking for.
Or perhaps it could just be that sometimes people prefer flashy and busy websites. Looking through Jindong is like stepping into a noisy, brightly-lit real-life street market. So in this way, Chinese Internet users might feel livelier when using these sites.
I wonder whether the Chinese web design has brought more Internet users who show more interest in their websites. As we know, after all, China is the leading country of the economic development online.
Chinese Websites Look Different Compared with western websites, Chinese websites are The difference busier with links, flashing ads and ___66___. The writer was ___68___ an explanation. ___67___ for their designs Chinese web design hasn’t caught up with the western standard. There are ___69___ explanations： 试卷第10页，共12页
1. Way of writing of Chinese characters makes foreigners think that Chinese text looks very crowded； 2. The ___70___ of typing out each Chinese might be the reason for the large number of links； The writer wonders whether these websites might lead to Conclusion China’s economic development online.
