One day, I saw a boy shop alone at the shop I worked. He chose some school things he wanted and went to the checkout (付款台).
The young shop assistant (店员) told him he needed to pay $37.60. The boy became very sad and said he only had $20. He took out one thing at a time, and at last he got down to his $20. With eyes full of tears, he asked if he could call his mom to pick him up. When he got throug h, it seemed that his mom was too busy to pick him up in a minute.
He tried to stop the tears and walked outside to wait on the chair in front of the shop. This was too much for the young assistant. She kept looking outside to see if the boy was all right. Then she said, “I wish I could pay for the rest (剩余部分) of his thin gs.” One of the other girls said she had a few dollars. Then two others said they could help, too.
These four young girls pooled their money and found they had more than enough to pay for the boy's things. Then they chose more school things, and gave them all to the boy. The boy laughed happily.

Everyone needs friends in life. Friendship Day is a day for us to say thank you to our friends. It started in the USA and soon it became popular around the world. In 1998 the United Nations (联合国) named Winnie the Pooh as the world's Ambassador (大使) of Friendship. In 2011, it declared (宣布) July 30 as International Friendship Day. However, many countries celebrate it on the first Sunday of August and some other days.
On Friendship Day people spend time with their friends and give gifts to each other. They may buy cards, write special songs or make friendship cakes. When I was 10, I got a special gift for the day. It was a book about China. My love of Chinese culture started with it.
Friends are very important to us. We start making friends almost from the time we can walk. Most people have special childhood (童年) friends, and some of them become their life-long friends. As for me, friends are often like family. In fact, I spent more time with my friends than with my family when I was a student. I also told my friends more secrets (秘密).
With the use of the Internet, people can also send (发送) messages and e-mails to friends who live far from them. And many people make new friends online. The Internet is also helpful to find
long-lost friends. That is to say, we can find our old friends through the Internet and start the friendship again.
( )71. When did Winnie the Pooh become the world's Ambassador of Friendship?
A. In 1998.
B. In 2008.
C. In 2011.
D. In 2017.
( )72. The underlined word “celebrate” in Paragraph 1 means “_______” in Chinese.
A. 否决
B. 庆祝
C. 观察
D. 审定
( )73. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A special song.
B. A friendship cake.
C. A book about China.
D. A card from China.
( )74. When the writer was a student, he ______.
A. made some friends online
B. stayed with his friends a lot
C. wrote a book about friendship
D. kept some secrets for his friends
( )75. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Places to meet Internet friends.
B. How to make an Internet friend.
C. Problems with Internet friendship.
D. What the Internet can do for friendship.
