A
Soon we were on top of a hill on the other side of the house. Below us we could see the river and the town. One or two lights were still on, but everything was quiet. We went down the hill and found Joe Harper, Ben Rogers and two or three more of the boys. Then Tom took us down the river by boat to his secret place, which was a cave deep in the side of a hill. When we got there, Tom told us all his plan.

“Now, we’ll have this gang of robbers,” he said, “and we’ll call it Tom Sawyer’s Gang. If somebody hurts one of us, the others will kill him and his family. And if a boy from the gang tells other people our secrets, we’ll kill him and his family, too.”
We all thought this was wonderful, and we wrote our names in blood from our fingers. Then Ben Rogers said, “Now, what’s the gang going to do?”
“Nothing,” replied Tom. “Just rob and kill. We stop people on the road, and we kill them, and take their money and things. But we can keep a few of the people, and then their friends can pay money to get them back. That’s what they do in the stories in books.”
But Ben wasn’t happy. “What about women?” he asked. “Do we kill them, too?”
“Oh, no,” Tom answered. “We’re very nice to them, and they all love us, and they don’t want to go home.”
“Then the cave will be full of women, and people waiting, and we’ll have to watch them all night...”
“We’ll all go home now,” Tom said, “and we’ll meet next week, and we’ll kill somebody and rob somebody.”
Ben wanted to begin on Sunday, but the others said no. It was bad to kill and rob on a Sunday.
My clothes were very dirty and I was very tired when I got back. Of course, the next morning Miss Watson was angry with me because of my dirty clothes, but the widow just looked unhappy. Soon after that we stopped playing robbers because we never robbed people and we never killed them.

- It’s a hill on the other side of the house. B. It’s a cave deep in the side of a hill.
C. It’s a river below the town. D. It’s on top of a hill.
23. What made Tom have such an idea?
A. The rich people in the town. B. The stories in the books.
C. Poverty. D. Kindness.
24. Why did they stop playing the game?
A. Because they never killed people. B. Because they killed all of the people.

Do you love Beats headphones, True Religion jeans and UGG shoes? These are some of the most popular brands(牌子) around. They are also expensive. But some experts say they are not much better than cheaper brands.
For example, Jim Wilcox works for Consumer Reports. He tested all kinds of headphones. He says that $80 Koss Pro headphones provide basically the same quality and comfort as Beats. So why do people say twice or even 10 times as much for the hottest brands?
Experts say it's because fashionable, expensive brands send a message. Brands say “I belong” or “I can afford it.”
Some people think that expensive brand names are worth the price. They say that some designer clothes really are top quality and that they last longer than cheaper brands. Some
