I want to be able to describe you to the police if something is missing from the store.”“Im only a little girl, not a thief (小偷)!” I was surprised.“But I think youre potential (有可能的) ,” she said.“I need these,” I said, holding up my list.“So what? I am not a person who works for you. Go to get them.” she said.The store was a puzzle to me. It took me two hours to find everything on the list. “That packet of beans is only 29 cents, but you asked me for 35 cents. ” I corrected her. She didnt seem unhappy, just looked at me over her glasses.The following summer I visited Miss Bee some times a week. She always found ways to fool me.

But she laughed, “Well, I believe my job is to teach every child I meet life lessons to help them. When you get older, youll be glad our paths crossed!” Glad I met Miss Bee? Ha! It was absurd.Until one day my daughter said, “ Could you finish my math problems for me?” “How will you ever learn to do it yourself if I do it for you?” I said.

They were called Gypsies（吉普赛人）by Europeans because they thought they came from Egypt(a country in Africa). About a thousand years ago, the Roma people left their homeland. They are known asnomadsbecause for hundreds of years many of them have lived in large groups that travel from place to place. They have no real homeland.Today, the Roma are now living all over the world. They have kept their language and many customs. For example, its important for Roma to marry other Roma. Its also a custom for parents to choose the person their children will marry. Roma people get married when they are young, sometimes even as young as 14.Romany is the language of the Roma people, which was written down only recently. Because the Roma are nomadic and have moved all over the world, their language has developed in many different ways. It is sometimes hard for Roma in one part of the world to understand Roma from another part.Roma music is famous all over the world, because many Roma throughout history have been musicians. Their music has influenced many other kinds of music, like classical and jazz.Roma dont usually assimilate（同化） into host countries. Over many centuries, governments have forbidden them to marry each other, travel or wear their traditional bright clothes. They have their gold taken away from them-treasures（财富） from their parents and grandparents. They have been taken as slaves（奴隶）, and have been forced to change their names.But today, the Roma are finding ways to live in peace with others while keeping the treasures of their culture. “There is a will within us to continue to live as a people,” says George Kaslov, whose family arrived in New York from Russia a hundred years ago. “All the other ethnic（种族） groups who came to America assimilate gradually with time going; they lose their customs and language. But not the Roma, We hold out.”43 . What does the underlined word “nomads” in the 1st paragraph mean?APeople who move from place to place.BPeople who come from Roma.CPeople who have their own homeland.44 . Whats the main idea of the last paragraph?AGeorge Kaslov has a strong will to live on.BThe Roma still keep their customs and language.CThe Roma are finding ways to keep the gold of their own.45 . What can we infer（推断） about the Roma according to the passage?AMost of the Roma live in very unusual houses.BMost Roma get married either when they are very young or very old.CTheir culture is very different from other European cultures.46 . What is the main purpose of the passage?ATo tell readers about an interesting culture.BTo tell us why the Roma need our help.CTo show us how all people are similar.47 .
