【題組】請依下文回答第 14 題至第 17 題：

During my high school years my best friend was Susan Miller, a girl who had lived down淡忘the street from me all her life.

We knew each other well and had many interests興趣 in common共同的. One way in which we were different, however不管怎樣, was in our shopping habits.【我們了解彼此且有許多共同的興趣。只有一個地方不同，就是消費習慣】

When I shopped, I always knew what I wanted, got it quickly, and left.

【當我去採購時我總是知道我要買什麼拿著走人】

For Susan, shopping was a game.【但蘇珊去採購像去遊戲】

She spent all day at it: examining檢查, comparing比較, and finally決定性地, ifconditions 決定were right, buying.【她花時間檢查,比較,和做最後決定,決定買什才是對的】

All too often I have spent hours waiting for her to make up her mind.【我經常花時間在等她決定

In fact, my longest “shopathon”^{馬拉松式的購物} was on a Christmas Eve when Susan and I went to pick up a few last-minute 最後的gifts.

She wanted a fit for適合的 her father, and I had to get something for my youngest sister, Sara. We started at 9:00 A.M., and by 10:15 I had bought Sara her gift, a toy Dalmatian.玩具大麥町狗

Then I just trudged步履沉重地走; 疲憊地走around the mall after Susan.

By one o’clock she still had not made a purchase, and the mall was becoming human gridlock交通阻塞. Finally feeling some compassion憐憫；同情, Susan bought herself and me each a slice 薄片of pizza.We had to eat standing up; the tables were all filled.被充滿；鼓脹

Then, walking and walking through endless無盡的stores, we continued未完的shopping.

She examined檢查 shirts, scarves圍巾, ties, knickknacks小裝飾物.

Her response to 回答every possibility可能發生的事was negative否定的回答: her father had it, he wouldn’t like it, this was too expensive, and that was too cheap.

Nothing seemed right for Susan’s father. Finally, fifteen minutes before the mall was scheduled to close, she came out of a store in triumph.得意洋洋

“I got it!”she said. I looked up from where I was sitting on a bench長凳, rubbing按摩my swollen浮腫的 feet. “What?” I asked weakly虛弱地.

She held up a piece of paper. “A gift certificate!【美】流通券，紙幣”she exclaimed.大聲說出 “With this my father can get whatever he wants.”
