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 pre

26、sents 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

27、 empathy. After the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced（加強）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 th

28、e 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 yours

33、r 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

34、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 s

35、elling 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 mon

36、ey 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.

37、”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（騙子）?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

38、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 ove

39、r, 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

40、 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

41、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

42、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 enough money to do that.B.

43、n 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 w

44、ater 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（對蝦）fr

45、om 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 t

46、hat 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 tomat

47、oes 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 mark

48、ers. 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 g

49、oods cause environmental damageC. growing certain vegetables cause environmental damageD. people waste energy buying food fro other countries69. The phrase“food miles”in the passage refers to the distance .A. that a food product travels to a marketB. that a food product travels from one market to an

50、otherC. between UK and other food producing countriesD. between a Third World country and a First World food market70.By comparing tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana, the another tries to explain that .A. British tomatoes are healthier than Ghanaian onesB. Ghanaian tomatoes taste better than Br

51、itish onesC. cutting down food miles may not necessarily save fuelD. protecting the environment may cost a lot of money71.From the passage we know that the author is most probably .A. a supporter of free global tradeB. a member of the Food CommissionD. a supporter of First World food marketsD. a mem

52、ber of an energy development group E 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 i

53、ntroduced 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 h

54、e is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure（蠟塑人像）.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).
