B．coinsC．people D．papers答案：D解析：依据文章第一段第一句中的carryingsomenewspapersunderhisarm及第五句中carryingthepapers________money可知仍旧有20份报纸，且最终一段最终一句中的lostthesaleoftwentypapers和该题呼应，故选D项。2．A.open B．heavyC．pure

D．showedup答案：B解析：依据前句可知，贾森用他全部的钱买了报纸但没能卖完，这使得他原来想给妈妈买蛋糕、给小鸟买种子的愿望落空了，故一想到没能卖掉全部的报纸他就心情低落。givein意为“屈服；让步”；breakdown意为“发生故障；分解；(精神/健康)垮掉”；getaway意为“离开”；showup意为“露面；出现”。故选B项。6．A.difficulty

D．So答案：B解析：依据其次段最终一句可知查德的卖报秘诀是趁着买报人还没来得及看内容就抓紧拿钱跑掉，这说明查德宣称的有最新消息事实上是编造的，故贾森的回答与前句相反，有转折意义，故选B项。8．A.before B．sinceC．though
