A

Since smoking is considered to be very dangerous to the health, it is especially difficult for children to buy cigarettes. Our shopkeeper, Mr. Soames, has always been careful about this. If his customers are very young, he always asks them whom the cigarettes are for.

　　One day a little girl walked into his shop and asked twenty cigarettes. She had the exact amount of money in her hand and seemed very sure of herself. Mr. Soames was so surprised by her confident manner that he forgot to ask his usual questions. He asked her what kind of cigarettes she wanted. The girl replied quickly and handed him the money. While he was giving her the cigarettes, Mr. Soames said laughingly that she was so young and she should hide the packet in her pocket so as not to be found by a policeman. But the little girl did not seem to find this very funny. Without even smiling she took the packet and walked towards the door. Suddenly she stopped, turned round, and looked steadily at Mr. Soames. There was a moment's deathly silence and Mr. Soames wondered what she was going to say. All at once, in a clear voice, the girl said, "My dad is a policeman." And with that she walked quickly out of the shop.

46. Mr. Soames keeps a ________.

48. Why did Mr. Soames forget to ask the little girl his usual questions?

A. Because the little girl is his friend's daughter.

B. Because the little girl is a policeman's daughter.

Neighbors play an important role in our lives. Their lifestyle, friends, and social habits can have a strong influence on our lives. So it’s a good idea to get along well with neighbors and build a better relationship that will last for many years to come. But how should you get along with your neighbors?

When you hear of a special need you can meet, do it, such as sitting with a sick child while your neighbor goes to work or taking an elderly parent to a doctor’s appointment when their car won’t start.

If you hear that someone close by is ill, has an accident, or is out of work, give him or her a hot meal or a fresh dessert. Your kindness will add a special feeling during a difficult time. If your neighbor is cutting down a tree or building a doghouse, offer helping hands to him or her. There is no better way to build relationships. Besides, you never know when the favor might be returned.

Exchange holiday cards, gifts or traditions. Invite your neighbors over for a cup of coffee or lunch. A backyard barbecue can be a great way to share food and fun. If they’ve watched your kids grow up or been concerned about your family events, they may want to share these special events.

Plan a party. Invite all your neighbors to your party. Planning and carrying out the activity helps everyone to know and understand each other.

Your neighbors are l
