One fine afternoon I was walking along Fifth Street, when I remembered that it was necessary to buy a pair of socks.Why I wished to buy only one pair was unimportant.I turned into the first sock shop that caught my eye, and a boy clerk who could not have been more than seventeen years old came forward, "What can 1 do for you, sir?" "I wish to buy a pair of socks." His eyes shone.There was a note of excitement in his voice, "Did you know that you had come into the finest place in the world to buy socks?" I had no idea of that, as my entrance had been accidental."Come with me," said the boy, eagerly.1 followed him to the back of the shop, and he began to pull down from the shelves box after box showing their contents for my choice.
"Hold on, lad, I am going to buy only one pair!" "1 know that," said he, "but I want you to see how beautiful these are.Aren't they wonderful!" There was on his face an expression of seriousness and pride and delight as if he were showing to me the secrets of his religion.I became far more interested in him than in the socks.I looked at him in amazement."My friend," said I, "if you can keep this up, if this is not merely from having a new job, if you can keep up this high spirit and excitement day after day, in ten years you will own every sock in the United States."

Allison Sheridan had always been schooled at home.But recently she made a big decision-she wanted to go to a pubic high school .That meant facing a lot of new experiences— classmates, teachers, tests, and especially homework.
"I didn't have homework when 1 was home-schooled," Allison said. " You just worked until you were finished with whatever you had to do on a certain day."Allison, now a junior at Summer Preparatory Charter High School in Redwood City, California, was among the many students who get their education somewhere other than a traditional school setting.
When she was home-schooled, Allison studied English, history, maths and French under the guidance of her mother.
But now she has a desire for a different social atmosphere as well as to prepare for college."I wanted to experience school before college.It probably wouldn't be a good idea for me to be home-schooled through high school and then go to college all alone," Allison said.
Courtney Wallace, a sophomore (大学二年级学生) at Homestead High School in Cupertino, California, was also home-schooled through eighth grade.
Besides taking art and science classes, as Allison did, Courtney practiced gymnastics at Sunnyvale gymnastics Club, swam at Sunnyvale Swim Club, played the flute in a band of home-schoolers and took ballet classes at the Pacific Ballet Academy in Mountain View, California.
Like Allison, Courtney also decided to attend a public high school."I had just always wanted to know what school was like, ” Courtney said, “so I decided to go to high school and to find out."
High school has been mostly what he expected, Wallace said, although he did have to make adjustments."1 got used to taking tests, and I didn't get as much homework as I was afraid I would," Wallace said.
Wallace also said his high school experience has been fun because of the people he met.He said his friends did not find it unusual that he was home-schooled. Instead, "they just wanted to know what it was like."
58.Which of the following statements is NOT true about Allison's home- schooling?
A.She didn't have any homework.
B.She was taught and guided by her mother.
C.She studied subjects including English.
D.There's no chance for her to make friends.
