武汉二中2013高考模拟试卷英语试题答案【B】(6)

Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colors and styles they wanted. Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small children to crawl through people’s legs and get hold of things they couldn’t get near themselves. 　　
Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous queue gone? The whole day continued like that. I began to realize why, twice a year, Graham’s was happy to turn the expensive store into a battlefield like this. 　　
In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain, it was OK. As soon as I got home, I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and went back to bed, fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.
