Locals crossexamined, and begged Lin, the owner of the store, but in vain. Running a small, local, familyowned hardware business was no longer profitmaking. The towns affection for Parks Hardware was just not enough to allow it to compete against the giant warehouse stores.I was one member of the excited masses that began to walk through Parks as, day by day, the lettering on the front window changed from “20% OFF EVERYTHING” to “30%”， “40%”， and on and on, until the only things left were the light sockets(插座) and doorknobs.Compared with giant warehouses, a hardware store is special. I recall the time I was exploring in one giant warehouse for a wireless doorbell that Parks didnt carry. I found the thing, but didnt understand the following note on the package: “Red light indicates condition of the battery.” “Excuse me，” I said to a clerk, holding the item out, “I cant seem to find the red light.” The man examined it, and said, “Neither can I” I contrasted this experience with one I routinely had at Parks. “Lin，” Id beg. “Can youpleaseI dont knowdo you think？”And quicker than one could say, “little red light，” Lin would spring into action and together wed sit down to find the solution.I could buy a single screw(螺丝钉) at Parks. At a warehouse I have no choice but to buy a box of a hundred screws. But I dont want a box of a hundred screws when all I need is one. I just want to know the location of the little red light, and now that Parks is gone, I realize that I never will.语篇导读本文为记叙文，讲述了一家五金店的倒闭和人们对它表示怀念的一些情况。5Why did Parks decide to stop its business?AThe owner invested in other business.BThe owner couldnt make enough money.CIts location was not convenient for shopping.DIt couldnt win enough affection from the locals.解析 B细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句可知，经营这样的五金店已经不能挣钱了，镇上的人们对这家五金店的喜爱并不能使它赢得与大型仓储式商店的竞争，故选B项。6What did Parks do before closing?AIt had a closing down sale.BIt struggled for its reorganization.CIt distributed its goods to regulars.DIt looked for a new owner.解析 A细节理解题。根据第二段中的the lettering on the front window changed from“20% OFF EVERYTHING” to “30%”， “40%”可知，五金店在关门停业之前采取了加大打折促销力度的方式，即清仓大处理，故选A项。7What does the writers experience in Paragraph 3 indicate?AThe benefit of having more choices.BThe pressure of competition for Parks.CThe good service of Parks.DThe responsible working attitude of large stores.解析 C推理判断题。根据第三段中的The man examined it, and said, “Neither can I”以及Lin would spring into action and together wed sit down to find the solution可知，作者提及自己购买无线门铃的经历是为了说明这家大型商店和帕克的五金店在服务质量方面存在的差别，借以突出帕克的五金店良好的服务，故选C项。8Whats the writers tone in writing his passage?AHumorous.
