Passage 1
  On Wednesday afternoons Annie took the bus into Cressley to shop in the market. For an hour or so she would walk up and down between the stalls, looking at everything, buying here and there, and keeping a sharp lookout for the bargains that were sometimes to be had. And then, with all the things she needed bought, she would leave the market for the streets of the town to spend another hour in the way she liked best: looking in furniture-shop windows. There were furniture shops of all kinds in Cressley, from those where you had to stretch your neck to see the prices on the tickets to others where you could hardly see the furniture itself for the many notices offering goods at prices almost too tempting to be true.

There was a card on the chair which said: “This fine chair is yours for less than a pound a week,” and very small at the bottom, “Cash price eighty-nine pounds fifty.” A pound a week... Why, she could almost pay that out of her housekeeping money and never miss it!
 A voice at her shoulder made her jump. “Can I help you, Madam?” She looked round at the assistant who had come softly to her side.

31. When she was doing her weekly shopping in the market, Annie was ______.
 A. impatient
B. cheerful
 C. selective
 D. doubtful
32. What did Annie particularly enjoy doing in Cressley?
 A. Hunting for bargains.
 B. Wandering round the market.
 C. Going into different shops.
 D. Window-shopping.
33. On this particular Wednesday, Annie discovered ______.
 A. a furniture shop she had not seen before
 B. a self-service furniture shop
 C. a notice about a furniture sale
 D. an extra pound to spend
34. Annie stopped when she was inside the sho
