I hate Black Friday sales. It’s often a gathering of people who are here for many different reasons. Some are looking for a deal on that one item for their loved one, or perhaps themselves. Their intentions are completely unrelated to the festive time of the year.

It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a child’s bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle. After a while the whistle blew. It was like throwing a bucket of small fish into a tank of sharks. I told my wife that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.

As the pile of bikes began to gradually decrease in size, I saw my polite opportunity to wrap my hands around the corner of one of the boxes. I lifted it up and suddenly felt some mild resistance. I looked up see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not the word to describe his presence. He wore lots of belts of metal studded leather around both arms and even his neck. Tattoos（纹身）were an obvious passion of his.

I started to give up the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.” My wife and I went to the checkout, paid for the bike and went home. All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best gift I had ever received for Christmas.The kindness of a stranger broke all preconceived notions(预想)I may have had of stereotypes and prejudices. 24. How did the author feel when going into the store? A. The crowd was like small fish.

B. They might not get the bike.

C. He was excited to do the shopping. D. The whistle was blown too late. 25. What happened when the author was buying the bike? A. He was scared by a man’s look at first. B. A gentleman bought the bike for him. C. A stranger helped him lift the box. D. He gave up the bike he first touched.

26. What can we learn from the author’s experience? A. Look before you leap.

B. Custom is a second nature. D. Don’t judge a book by its cover.

C. Doing is better than saying.

27. What is the best title of the passage? A.Black. Friday sales

B. My son’s best bike D. A strange gentleman C
