me for the dictionary I had bought him as a birthday present last year.His parents had no reason to be grateful to me either because the year before,I had presented their dear son with a pot of paste*and some funny pictures.Instead of sticking*them into a book,Tony had naturally covered every wall in the house with them.This year,therefore,I decided to let him choose for himself.We went into a big toyshop but Tony was highly critical of everything he saw.In vain*did I show him toy after toy;he was not to be tempted*.Then I saw his eyes light up：he had discovered something he really did approve of：a large tin drum.I was quite pleased,tooz until I thought what Tonys mother would say when she saw it.Nobody would get any sleep for weeks.I led Tony away quickly,saying that the drum was too expensive.If that was how I felt,Tony replied jokingly,then I could buy him the big model railway in the shop window.Now that was really expensive,so I quickly changed the subject.Tony asked for permission to go off on his own and I made the most of my opportunity to sit down and rest my aching feet.Fifteen minutes passed but there was still no sign of Tony.I began to get worried and got up to look for him,I asked a young lady if she had seen a little boy in a gray suit.She looked about her helplessly and pointed out that there were so many little boys in gray suits.I was just beginning to despair*,when I saw a strange figure dressed in peculiar purple*clothes.The figure was wearing a false beard and a cave mans*axe*in one hand,and a space gun in the other.It was,of course,Tony,who informed me at once that he was the first cave man to fly into space.Exercise：Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.1.D 2.B 3.D 4.A 5.B 6.C 7.C 8.DPassage
