BHave 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 empathythe ability to put yourself into someone elses head and heart. Were all able to do this; in fact, were 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 isnt, were not able to understand other peoples 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 youve 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 wont make it go away. If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends abead of time.60.The underlined expression“you had missed the mark”means“you had failed to ”.A.make her feel betterB.keep your friendshipC.receive a present in returnD.get the expected effect61.Which of the following is the main ideas of the second paragraph?A.Natural empathy needs to be reinforced.B.Emotional changes influence ones choice of gifts.C.Selecting the right gift is an ability people are born with.D.Choosing gifts requires one to understand the receivers.62.In the third garagraph, the author tells us that .A.attention should be paid to the receivers responsesB.one learns from what he did in the pastC.the choice of girls reflects ones emotional qualitiesD.one should spend more time choosing gifts63.The best possible title for this passage is “”.A.Ways of Choosing GiftsB.An Important TraditionC.Exchanging PresentsD.Message in a Gift CThe young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me ,eager to sell his bunches（串）of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known he bitterness of life.“Bananas 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira.”He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 that for the fruit and nuts, When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didnt have change. So I told him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where its not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents bad raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.I pulled over and rolled down my window, He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “Whatt up?”asked him.“II dont have money to buy books for school.”I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills.“Will this help?”I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year.“Thank you, sir.”he said.“Thank you very much!”When driving home. I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks. What if hes a cheat（骗子）?And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I wondered why I did it, Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didnt know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after 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.“Thats 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.“Whats wrong?” I asked.“Its 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,“Ive been waiting to give these to you .”64.What was the authors first impression of the boy?A. He seemed to be poor and greedy.B. He seemed to have his age.C. He seemed younger than his age.D. He seemed good at bargaining.65.The second time the author met the boy, the boy .A. told him his purpose of selling fruit and nutsB. wanted to express his thanksC. asked him for money for his schoolbooksD. tried to take advantage of him65.Why did the author give his money to the boy?A.

Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so.67.Which of the following best describes the boy?A. Brave and polite.B. Kind and smart.C. Honest and thankful.D. Shy and nervous. D 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.68.The Food Commission is angry because it thinks that .A.OK wastes a lot of money importing food productsB. some imported goods cause environmental damageC. growing certain vegetables cause environmental damageD. people waste energy buying food fro other coun
