         Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had
    been handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as
    though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she responded with a polite "Why, thank you," but you
    knew you had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices (good
    and had) reflect about your personal qualities?
         Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe. It calls for empathy-the ability to put yourself into someone
    else's head and heart. We're all able to do this; in fact, we're born with a kind of natural empathy. After the
    earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced (加强)-by our parents, teachers, friends.
    When it isn't, we're not able to understand other people's feelings as sharply. This can show in the gifts we
    select, and so can many other emotional (情感的) qualities.
         Think back to the presents you've given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection,
    how much you spent, your thoughts while you were shopping,and your feelings when the receiver opened
    the package. Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world. Of course, you may express
    yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know.
          We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication. Ignoring the
    tradition won't make it go away. If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends abead of time.
    1. The underlined expression "you had missed the mark"means "you had failed to _____".
    A. make her feel better
    B. keep your friendship
    C. receive a present in return
    D. get the expected effect
    2. Which of the following is the main ideas of the second paragraph?
    A. Natural empathy needs to be reinforced.
    B. Emotional changes influence one's choice of gifts.
    C. Selecting the right gift is an ability people are born with.
    D. Choosing gifts requires one to understand the receivers.
    3. In the third garagraph, the author tells us that _____.
    A. attention should be paid to the receiver's responses
    B. one learns from what he did in the past
    C. the choice of girls reflects one's emotional qualities
    D. one should spend more time choosing gifts
    4. The best possible title for this passage is"_____".
    A. Ways of Choosing Gifts
    B. An Important Tradition

    I returned, I went out For a drive. When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window
    with a big smile ready on his face.
         "Oh, gosh! Long time."
          "Are you in school now?"I asked.
          He nodded.
         "That's good," I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted.
    "Here," I held out a 500 naira bill. "Take this." He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. "What's
    wrong?" I asked. "It's a gift."
          He shook his head again and brought his had form behind his back. His face shone with sweat (汗水).
    He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, "I've been waiting to
    give these to you."

         An environmental group called the Food Commission is unhappy and disappointed because of the sale
    of bottled water form Japan. The water is angrily argues in public, has traveled 10,000 "food miles "before
    it reaches Western customers." transporting water halfway across the world is surely the extremely stupid
    use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the OK." It is also worried that we are wasting our fuel by buying
    praums( 对虾) from Indonesia (7,000 food miles) and carrots from South Africa (5,900 food miles).
         Counting the number of miles traveled done by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation
    of the environmental damage done by an industry. Most food is transported around the world on container
    ships that are extremely energy efficient (高能效的). It should be noted that a ton of butter transported 25
    miles in a truck product transported hundreds of miles by sea. Besides,the idea of "of miles" ignores the
    amount of fuel used in the production. It is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown
    in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana; the difference is that the British one will have been raised in heated
    greenhouses and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun.
          What the idea of "food miles "does provide, however, is the chance to cut out Third World Countries from
    First World food markers. The number of miles traveled by our food should, as I see it, be regarded as a sign
    of the success of the global (全球的) trade system, not a sign of damage to the environment.
    1. The Food Commission is angry because it thinks that ____.
    A. OK wastes a lot of money importing food products
    B. some imported goods cause environmental damage
    C. growing certain vegetables cause environmental damage
    D. people waste energy buying food fro other countries
    2. The phrase "food miles"in the passage refers to the distance _____.
    A. that a food product travels to a market
    B. that a food product travels from one market to another
    C. between UK and other food producing countries
    D. between a Third World country and a First World food market
    3. By comparing tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana, the another tries to explain that _____.
    A. British tomatoes are healthier than Ghanaian ones
    B. Ghanaian tomatoes taste better than British ones
    C. cutting down food miles may not necessarily save fuel
    D. protecting the environment may cost a lot of money
    4. From the passage we know that the author is most probably _____.
    A. a supporter of free global trade
    B. a member of the Food Commission
    D. a supporter of First World food markets
    D. a member of an energy development group

         Silence is unnatural to man. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In between be does all he can
    to make a noise in the world, and be fears silence more than anything else. Even his conversation is an attempt
    to prevent a fearful silence. If he is introduced to another person, and is number of pauses occur in the
    conversation, he regards him-self as a failure,a worthless person, and is full of envy of the emptiest- headed
    chatterbox (喋喋不休的人).He knows that ninety nine percent of human conversation means no more than the
    buzzing of a fly
    , but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure
    (蜡塑人像).
         The aim of conversation is not. For the most part, to communicate ideas; it is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz; there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the
    continuous noise made by a mosquito (蚊子). But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet
    person. Most buzzing, fortunately, is pleasant to the ear, and some of it is pleasant even to the mind. He would
    be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.
         Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason
    why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything
    new. Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears,
    though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food
    in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening, during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time.
    They just prove themselves to be successful conservationists.
    1. According to the author, people make conversation to _____.
    A. exchange ideas
    B. prove their value
    C. achieve success in life
    D. overcome their fear of silence
    2.  By "the buzzing of a fly " (Para.1),the author means"_____ ".
    A. the noise of an insect
    B. a low whispering sound
    C. meaningless talks
    D. the voice of a chatterbox
    3.  According to the passage, people usually talk to their neighbors _____.
    A. about whatever they have prepared
    B. about whatever they want do
    C. in the hope of learning something new
    D. in the hope of getting on well

    Growing up is not easy.Sometimes all that is need
    is someone to rely on. For many years,she was Mum. 
    My mother was the career woman and her own
    problems to take care∧,but when I needed her,she
    was always there.Her strength came from anywhere
    I don't quite know,somewhere very deep.She was so
    strong that she would never break down,even while I 
    went to her with all my little-boy problems and shout
    at her.Her strength made me stronger and gave to me
    courage to try things other thought were impossible.A
    helping hand is always stronger enough to lift you up.
