i could tell my mother was unhappy. i decided to cheer her up by buying her a special mother s day gift.one day after school i rode my bike to the agins, which, i learned years later, was known for its high-end fashions and style. i introduced myself to sylvia agins, telling her i was looking for a mothers day present.“do you think shed like a purse?” she asked. “i think she might.” i told her. she took out an italian handbag made of leather. she asked me what i thought, and i told her that my mom would like it.“how much money do you have?” she asked.“twelve dollars,” i said.“youre in luck,” she told me. “its only $11. you have a dollar left over for the card.” she wrapped the purse and thanked me for my business, and i rode off home with the package under my arm.when my mother opened the gift the next sunday morning, she asked in an accusing tone, “where did you get this?”“i bought it at the agins. it cost me $11.” i said.my mother was shocked into silence.it wasnt until many years later, when i learned that the purse was worth several hundred dollars, that i appreciated just how wonderful sylvia agins had been to me. i always felt regretful that i never had a chance to properly thank her.“you know, my son, what really amazes me to this day,” my mother said. “letting you have the purse for just a few dollars was unbelievable enough. but the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch of kindness that ill never forget.”28the author bought his mother a purse to_.a. surprise his mother b. show his ability of making money c.make his mother

and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. for some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband or wife. a 2002 study by karen allen of the state university of new york measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people half of them pet owners while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. subjects(研究对象) completed the tasks alone, with a husband or wife, a close friend or with a pet. people with pets did it best. those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. with pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. it seems people feel more relaxed (放松) around pets, says allen, who thinks it may be because pets dont judge.a study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. researchers at northwestern memorial hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. on average, people lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more that 15% of their body weight. dogs owners didnt lose any more weight than those without dogs but, as some researchers say, they got more exercise indeed.32 we learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if_.a. he is taken care of by his familyb. he has less stress of workc. he often does mental arithmeticd. he has a pet companion 33 according to allen, why did the people do better with pets around when facing difficult tasks?a. they become more patient.b. they are less nervous. c. they have lower blood pressured. they are in higher spirits.34the research mentioned(提到) in the last paragraph reports that_.a. people with dogs did more exerciseb. dogs lost the same weight as people didc. dogs liked exercise much more than people didd. people without dogs found the program unhelpful35what does the text mainly discuss?a. peoples opinions of keeping pets.b. how pets help people calm down.c. what pets bring to their
