She said they were 5 expensive and that we couldn’t 6 one. On an afternoon before Christmas, Mom and Dad told me we needed to go to pay our 7 . While we were paying the bill, Dad said, “I’ll be back. I need to see 8 in the department.” After the bill was paid, Dad came back with a long 9 box. I remember wondering if it was a 10 .Arriving home, Dad put the box in the 11 . While my parents were busy, I 12 out to the barn and found it. I was so 13 and I thought, on opening the magical box my bright, 14 pogo stick would appear.No such 15 ! Inside the box was a silly 16 broom. So Christmas morning was great but 17 . I got some nice gifts instead of the pogo stick.After all was ready, Dad said he needed to do something in the barn.

(40 points)Text 1 When Apple cut its expectation benefit for the last quarter of 2018 because of slow sales of iPhones, markets were shocked. The company’s share price, which had been sliding for months, fell by a further 10% on January 3rd, the day after the news came out. Apple’s suppliers’ shares were also hit. But Apple’s pain is humans’ gain. The fact that these magical devices are now so popular is something to be celebrated.Nearly 4bn of the 5.5bn adults on the planet now have one smartphone. They connect billions of people to the internet’s huge amount of information and services. Phones make markets more efficient and inspire growth. Yes, they can be used for wasting time and spreading disinformation. But the good far outweighs the bad. They might be the most effective tool of development in existence.Actually this slowdown is the result of market saturation (饱和). After a decade of rapid taking-in, there is much less opportunity to sell handsets to first-time buyers as so few of them are left. And replacement cycles are becoming longer as new models offer only insignificant improvements. For all but the craziest fans, the slowing pace of upgrades comes as a welcome relief.Does that mean innovation (创新) is slowing? No. The latest phones contain amazingly clever technology such as 3D face-scanners and cameras assisted by artificial intelligence. Moreover, smartphones also provide a foundation for extra innovations, like mobile payments and video streaming, and for future ones, such as controlling “smart” home equipment or robotaxis.As computers become smaller, still more personal and closer to people’s bodies, many scientists believe that wearable devices will be the next big thing. Even so, finding another product with the range of the smartphone is a tall order. The recent slowing of smartphone sales is bad news for the industry, obviously. But for the rest of humans it is a welcome sign that a transformative technology has become almost universal.1、The writer considers the slowdown of smartphone sales good news because ___________.A．it can make market more efficient B．it slows crazy fans’ pace of upgradesC．it means less disinformation will spread D．it indicates the popularity of smartphones2、We can infer from the text that ______。
