【題目】The act of giving gifts is a gesture of friendship, love, celebration and thanks. With a little planning, your gifts will be remembered for years.

【1】 Put a reminder in your diary one or two weeks before the occasion so that you can start doing your shopping. If your receivers live very far away and you need to mail the gift, then advanced planning is even more important. It will make sure that your gift gets to them on time.

Don't give gifts based on what others give you. We often hear people say, “She’s spending $ 100 on me, so I should spend $ 100 on her”.【2】Your gifts should be based on what is on your heart for your receivers. Don't worry about whether your receivers are going to give you something back or how much they are spending on your gifts.

Respect your budget.【3】　Gifts given with sincerity are appreciated even more than expensive items. By planning how much you need to spend on your gifts for others and assigning a dollar amount to each desired gift on your list, you'll be better prepared to shop within your budget.

Be aware of wrappings.【4】　A tastefully wrapped gift with materials that can be reused or recycled shows your caring for the environment.

Present your gift with respect.【5】　And when you do, present your gift by holding with both your hands as though you were holding it on a silver platter.

A. This thinking completely ruins the value of giving gifts to each other.

B. Beautiful gifts don't necessarily need to rely on ribbons or boxes.

C. The cost of your gift will not be the main factor in its success.

D. The best way to present a gift is always presenting it in person.

E. This is adopted from Asian culture to show respect and care.

F. You shouldn't buy gifts which are out of your budget.

G. Keep a schedule of the special dates.

【答案】

【1】G

【2】A

【3】F

【4】B

【5】D

【解析】文章講述了一些關(guān)于贈(zèng)送禮物的建議和注重的地方。什么時(shí)候送禮物，禮物的價(jià)值，包裝，方式都是有講究的。一份好的禮物，在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)機(jī)送出去，有時(shí)會(huì)讓人銘記多年。

【1】本句位于本段的第一句，根據(jù)“Put a reminder in your diary one or two weeks before the occasion so that you can start doing your shopping.”，并且下文所講都與計(jì)劃時(shí)間有關(guān)，所以本句也應(yīng)與時(shí)間有關(guān)。故選Ｇ。

【2】本句位于段落中間，根據(jù)“Your gifts should be based on what is on your heart for your receivers.”可知本段的內(nèi)容與禮物的價(jià)值觀有關(guān)。故選Ａ。

【3】本段第一句“Respect your budget”，尊重你的預(yù)算，可知本段主要講禮物的預(yù)算。故選Ｆ。

【4】本段首句“Be aware of wrappings.”，注意包裝。本空后一句提到可回收的材料做包裝。本空應(yīng)為一種轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系或與可回收材料有關(guān)，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，故選Ｂ。

【5】本段主要講贈(zèng)送禮物的方式，根據(jù)“present your gift by holding with both your hands”可知，作者提倡親手贈(zèng)送。故選Ｄ。

Doing good daily doesn’t necessary mean helping other people. We can also do something good for other little creatures on this earth. Today, I was on my way to home and saw the turtle trying to cross the road. I stop my car, picked up and brought it to a river nearby. It was the rush hour but there were a lot of cars behind me. It took me about five minute to finish doing that. Although my action might be clearly an inconvenience with other cars, I knew that save a life was well worth their waiting. In my mind, what I did was meaningless.

【題目】Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people.

My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”

At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school — walking on my own!

When the Great Depression (大蕭條) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.

Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽車旅館) for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.

Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world — Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year.

You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.

【1】What Kemmons’ mom often told him during his childhood was ______.

A. caring B. moving

C. encouraging D. interesting

【2】According to the author, who played the most important role in making him walk back to school again?

A. Doctors. B. Nurses.

C. Friends. D. Mom.

【3】What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself?

A. His terrible experience in the hotel.

B. His previous business success of various levels.

C. His mom’s support.

D. His wife’s suggestion.

【4】Which of the following best describes Kemmons’ mother?

A. Modest, helpful, and hard-working.

B. Loving, supportive and strong-willed.

C. Careful, helpful and beautiful.

D. Strict, sensitive and supportive.

【題目】閱讀下列短文，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

When I was about ten years old, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee. I knew I could see Mr. Lee any time around the neighborhood, so I didn’t pay any attention to him. After we passed Mr. Lee, my mother stopped me and said something that has stuck with me from that day until now. She said seriously, “You let that be the last time you’ve ever walked by somebody and not opened up your mouth to speak, because even a dog will wag its tail when it passes you on the street.” Mother’s words sound simple, but it’s been a guidepost for me and the foundation of who I am.

It’s not just something I believe in; it’s a way of life. I believe that every person deserves to feel someone acknowledge their presence, no matter how humble (卑微) they may be.

At work, I always said hello to the founder of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people who cleaned the buildings and asked how their children were doing. After a few years of greeting the founder, I had the courage to ask him for a meeting. We had a great talk. At a certain point I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company. He said, “If you want to, you can get all the way to this seat.”

I’ve become vice president, but it hasn’t changed the way I approach people. I still follow my mother’s advice. I speak to everyone I see, no matter where I am. I’ve learned that speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it allows them to come into mine, too.

【1】What did the author do when he met Mr. Lee?

A. He talked with somebody else.

B. He was attracted by a dog.

C. He greeted him politely.

D. He ignored him.

【2】What kind of person is the author’s mother?

A. Optimistic. B. Kind-hearted.

C. Strict. D. Open-minded.

【3】How did the company founder reply to the author?

A. He inspired him. B. He played a joke.

C. He invited him to coffee. D. He gave him the seat.

【4】What does the author think of saying hello to people?

A. It’s a way to show sympathy to people.

B. It can build connections with others.

C. It’s a must to become a president.

D. It can bring him what he wants.

【題目】閱讀下列短文，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

There is a large percentage of Asian people in the US. They’re hard working, respectful but strange sometimes. If you don’t understand the culture, you will get some problems with them. Asian people are different from any other cultures if you think you know them, you might want to think again.

How are they different? When it comes to most Asian culture, respect is everything. You can do anything you want but don't disrespect an Asian man. You will get some real consequences afterward and especially if he is your boss. It’s something called face saving in the Asian culture. It’s ridiculous sometimes but it’s their culture. Sometimes their culture can come in between their relationship at work. Asian people might expect a lot of respect from their co-workers when their co-workers just see them as an equal.

Americans are very different from Asian people. If you’re Asian, you might want to understand the American culture and even adapt to their culture if you work with them. It will be easier for you since you’re in their countries. Imagine an American working in China, expecting Chinese co-workers to get along with him when he criticizes them straight out on every single matter in front of everyone. I think they will take him outside and take care of him. It just doesn’t work that way with Asian people.

If you’re an American boss giving your Asian employee a review, you will see that they will have a problem with your negative remarks. They will think that you don’t like them, disrespectful, and want to get rid of them; when in fact, you’re just doing your job. You just encourage them to do their work better. Of course, it’s not fair for you as an American boss but just expect that it can be something that is on your Asian employee’s mind.

【1】The Americans can’t get along well with the Asians probably because______.

A. their cultures are different.

B. they don’t like each other.

C. both of them are too proud.

D. they have different political views.

【2】The underlined phrase “face saving” in Paragraph 2 probably means_____.

A. saving some money for later use.

B. making faces to please your boss.

C. showing some respect to somebody.

D. helping somebody out of trouble.

【3】From the third paragraph we can know that it is difficult_________.

A. for the Asians to accept the culture in America.

B. for the Americans to adapt to the culture in China.

C. for people to learn the culture in a foreign country.

D. for people to follow the culture in their own country.

【4】The negative remarks an American boss gives on your work probably mean he/she _____

A. doesn’t like you any longer.

B. thinks you are not worth respecting.

C. doesn’t think you are suitable for the job.

D. wants you to improve your work.

Dear Ken,

I am very exciting to learn that you’re coming to Beijing for the Olympics. Both my parent miss you a lot. So do our friend, Cathy. August is the best time of the year to visit Beijing, because of there is only a few rain and the weather is neither too hot or too cold. There are so many places I want to take you after I finish my work like a volunteer. When you come, you can stay with ourselves. My home is about three kilometers away from the National Stadium, knowing as the “Bird’s Nest”, where opening ceremony will be held.

Best regards,

Janet
