Different countries have different customs in giving gifts. In China you must never give a clock to a Chinese person, because the pronunciation of the word for "clock" in Chinese is similar to the pronunciation of "death". Also, don't wrap（用……包裹）a gift in white, black, or blue paper, because they are the colors for funerals（葬礼）. Don't give a knife, because something sharp can cut a friendship.

In Russia if you give flowers as gifts, you have to give an odd number of them（one, three, five, etc. ）because even numbers of flowers are for funerals.

My 14-year-old son, John, and I saw the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It was so beautiful and had an unbelievable price, $28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John's eyes shone. Dark, woolen coats were popular with teenage boys, but new ones could cost several hundred dollars. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. It fit him so well.

John wore the coat to school the next day. After he came home, I asked, "Did the kids like your coat?"

"They love it," he said with a big grin.

Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and much happier. "Good dinner, Mom," he would say every evening. Without a word of complaining, he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he should start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said, "You're right. I guess I will." When I mentioned this change to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.

John and I both know we should never judge a person by his clothes. But it is true that when wearing beautiful and suitable clothes, we may try to be better in thought, speech and behavior to match what is on the inside to what is on the outside.

（1）What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A.They often went shopping together.

B.The price of the coat was too high.

C.The writer didn't want to buy the coat.

D.John liked the coat very much.

（2）What does the underlined word "grin" mean?

A.An upset voice. B.A wide smile.
C.An angry mood. D.A worried look.

（3）What did John use to do when he was asked to study?

A.Work hard on schoolwork. B.Start at once.
C.Carry in wood for the stove. D.Put off his homework.

（4）Which of the following changes did NOT happen to John after he wore the coat?

A.He always worried about his study.

B.He was willing to follow suggestions.

C.He said sweet words to make his mother happy.

D.He often helped to do some housework.

（5）What does the writer want to say through this passage?

A.We should not judge people by their appearance.

B.What we wear could change the way we act.

C.It's a good choice to try different things in our lives.

D.Life is full of possibilities when we are young.
