we want to make it better, we should understand who you will give
the gift to and their likes and 47.
As is often the case, some little kids think they don’t get enough
gifts 48 some old people think they get too many gifts. Different
people like different kinds of gifts. Some presents are never too 49.
For example, when a little child just gives his or her mother a leaf
from a tree, it is enough to make her very 50.
Gift giving is different in different 51. Here are some of their
likes. In Japan,
people sometimes give special gifts. But they are not opened.
Later, the same gift may be given away to someone
52, because many people have enough things and don’t want 53
gifts themselves. In Canada, a tree can help remember 54. In the
USA, some people ask their families and friends to give money to
charity rather than buying them gifts. In Swede n, doing something for
someone is the best gift. People don’t need to 55 too much money.
Instead, making a meal for him or her is enough.
To make things 56, some people would rather just give money.
In some cultures, however,57 money can make people
uncomfortable.“When someone gives me money, it just makes me
think they’re being lazy,”says John Wilson.“In England, we have a
saying: It’s the thought that 58. When someone gives me money, I
feel they don’t think it about at all. I prefer to receive a gift 59 has
some thought behind it.”
Different people have very different thoughts 60 this subject!

A recent research shows that physical activity(体育活动) may help
students do better in their classes. The research comes because
educators in some countries are reducing time for activities like P.E.
class.
Researchers go over the results of fourteen studies. Twelve were
from the United States, one from Canada and one from South Africa.
The studies appeared between 2009 and 2013. They included more
than 55,000 children, aged six to eighteen.
Thomas Singh, one of the researchers, says the studies showed a
relationship between physical activity and scores on subjects such as
math, English and reading. Ms. Singh offers some possible explanations
(解释):
“ There are, first, physiological (生理的) explanations, like more
blood flow, and so more oxygen (氧气) to the brain. Being physically
active means there are more hormones( 荷尔蒙) produced like
endorphins ( 脑内啡). And endorphins make your stress level lower
and your mood improved, which means you will perform better in
class. Also, students who take part in organized sports learn rules and
how to follow them. This could improve their classroom behavior and
help them know what they should do.
All in all, the finding tells us that physically active kids are more
likely to do better in school. Ms. Singh says schools should consider
the finding before they cut physical education programs.
64. What led the researchers to do the studies?
A. Schools’cutting physical activity.
B. Their interest in physical activity.
C. The tests including about 55,000 children.
D. Kids’unsatisfying s chooling performance.
65. How many countries took part in the studies?
A. 14. B. 12 C. 2. D. 3.
66. Which of the following is NOT one of the advantages of physical
activity according to the passage?
A. Getting more blood flow. B.Better classroom behavior.
C. Feeling relaxed and refreshed.

D. Greater ability to organize activities.

We always celebrated Dad’s birthday on Thanksgiving Day, even
after he entered a nursing home. When we knew it might be his last
birthday, the whole family decided to get together for a huge birthday
celebration at the nursing home.
Dad was a good storyteller and we were always his listeners.
During a quiet moment, I announced it was now Dad’s turn to listen
to stories for a change. I wanted everyone to tell Dad what we loved
about him. The room became quiet. Then one after another, people
told stories from their hearts, while Dad listened with tears in eyes.
Everyone seemed to have more than one story. Even the little
grandchildren couldn’t wait to tell Dad why they loved him. For a
man who had been kind to so many hundreds of people in his life,
here was our chance to tell him how much we love him. A few
months later, at Dad’s memorial service, we more fully realized what
we had given to Dad that night. Those are the stories people normally
tell at a funeral (葬礼) after a loved one is no longer alive to hear the
words. They tell stories, full of tears. But we had given those
memories to Dad in his life, and we had told them through
laughter, together with hugs and joy. He had them to hold and
enjoyed them from time to time in his mind during his last days and
months.
Words do matter, and they are enough. We just need to say them
or to speak them publicly the ones we love. That’s the ways to give
back love and that’s our chance to celebrate a person in his or her life.
67. The writer’s family decided to have a huge birthday celebration
because______ .
A. Dad was to leave the hospital
B. it might be Dad’s last birthday
C. they would celebrate Thanksgiving Day
D. Dad was at the nursing home
68. According to the passage, we know______ .
A. all the family loved the father, including the little grandchildren
B. the writer’s father was still enjoying good health
C. the party was held at the writer’s home
D. the doctor told the writer his father was going to die at once
69. From the passage, we know the writer’s father was______ to hear
the stories.
A. surprised B. moved C. sad D. frustrated
70. The best title of the passage can be______ .
A. An Amazing Story B. A Kind Father
C. Say Our Love Publicly D. A Big Party

(4)You can buy chewing gum in nearly every country of the world.
① But it wasn’t always like that.
The American Indians were the first people to chew gum. This
gum came from a special tree that grew on their land. In 1848, a sailor
called John Curtis began selling it. He was the first person to sell
chewing gum. The gum he sold cost just a few cents for two pieces. It
became popular very quickly even though it was very hard to chew.
② Nowadays, other things are added to the gum to make it soft and
sweet.
By 1890, there were hundreds of different chewing gums. The
most famous name in chewing gum, however, is probably William
Wrigley. He spent a lot of money in advertising and even sent free
pieces of gum to children on their birthdays. ③ He also said that
chewing gum helped people work better and that it stopped people
from feeling tired.
Although today many millions of people chew gum, not
everyone thinks it is a good thing to do. Many people think it is dirty.
The Singapore government does not allow people to buy chewing
gum. One reason for this is that when some people have chewed all
the taste out of their piece of gum, they take it out of their mouths
and put it on to the backs of seats or other places.
71. 请将①处翻译成汉语。________________________
72. 请根据②处内容完成下面句子。(每空一词)
People make chewing gum soft and sweet _________something to it.

people from feeling tired.”

Mail order is a term which describes the buying of goods or
services by mail delivery(邮递). The buyer places an order for the
desired products with the salesman through some remote method
such as through a telephone call or a website. Then, the products are
delivered to the customer. The products are typically delivered
directly to an address supplied by the customer, such as a home
address, but sometimes the orders are delivered to a nearby retail
location for the customer to pick up. Some businessmen also allow the
goods to be shipped directly to a third customer, which is an effective
way to send a gift to an out\|of\|town friend.
A mail order catalogue(目录)is a publication including a list of
ordinary goods from a company. Companies who publish and operate
mail order catalogues are treated as cataloguers within the industry.

Goods are produced by people all over the world, such as in A ustralia,
the USA, Canada, China etc. And now many cataloguers,
just as with most retailers(零售商) , are increasingly buying goods
