17、ties: birthdays, naming ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, New Year. It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. In addition, special events, such as ones first day of school or graduation from university, often require gift giving.What is happening when we give g
18、ifts? Most important, we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me a gift for my birthday, I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift builds up or confirms a social obligation(义务).Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between
19、 loved ones. People say that a gift lets the recipient(接受者) know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person “feel special”. We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say “Im sorry”. Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a pres
20、ent that someone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or would feel comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messagesoften very expressive ones.People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gif
21、ts around her house. These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years: “I appreciate these, and they mean something to me,” the woman said, “because I remember the occasions they were given on, and that they were from my mother, and the relationship weve had.” The gifts remain and keep
22、the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that the recipients would look at her gifts in years to come and remember her.Emotions like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the anthropologis
23、t Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful. Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Each gift is unique even if so many are given. The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition
24、 to continue.41. What is the first paragraph of the passage mainly about?A. Celebrations in western cultures. B. Moments and events for gift giving.C. Special vocations for gift giving.D.

It is easy for us to find a present that someone will like.B. We feel uncomfortable when we give gifts we like.C. We somet
26、imes give gifts when we apologize to others. D. Only when we miss loved ones do we give gifts to them.44. What does the underlined word “her” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The woman. B. The womans mother. C. The recipient. D. The writer. 45. The writers attitude towards gift giving is _.A. positive B.
27、angry C. sympathetic D. pessimisticBFreezing weather can mean frostbite and hypothermia, or too low temperature of the body, unless a person is prepared. Today we talk about how to stay warm, dry and safe. Frostbite is damage that happens when skin is exposed to extreme cold for too long. It mainly
28、happens on the hands, feet, nose and ears.People with minor cases of frostbite that affect only the skin may not suffer any permanent damage. But if deeper tissue is affected, a person is likely to feel pain every time the area gets cold.If blood vessels(血管) are damaged, people can suffer an infecti
29、on of gangrene(坏疽). Sometimes, doctors have to remove frostbitten areas like fingers and toes.Hypothermia happens when the body cannot produce as much heat as it releases. The condition comes on slowly. Signs of hypothermia include uncontrollable shaking, very slow breathing and difficulty thinking
30、clearly. If not treated, hypothermia can be deadly.To avoid cold-related injuries, here is a simple way to remember four basic steps to staying warm. Think of COLDC.O.L.D.The C stands for cover. Wear a hat and scarf to keep heat from escaping through the head, neck and ears. And wear mittens instead
31、 of gloves. In gloves, the fingers are separated, so the hands may not stay as warm.The O stands for overexertion(用力过度). Avoid activities that will make you sweaty. Wet clothes and cold weather are a bad mix.L is for layers(层). Wearing loose, lightweight clothes, one layer on top of another, is bett
32、er than wearing a single heavy layer of clothing. Also, make sure outerwear is made of material that is water resistant and tightly knit.Can you guess what the D in COLD stands for? D is for dry. In other words, stay as dry as possible. Pay attention to the places where snow can enter, like the tops
33、 of boots, the necks of coats and the wrist areas of mittens.And here are two other things to keep in mind, one for children and the other for adults. Eating snow might be fun but it lowers the bodys temperature. And drinking alcohol might make a person feel warm. But what it really does is weaken t

He was asleep on the front seat of their truck, with his feet resting on her lap. As hi
38、s mom drove carefully down the winding two-lane country road, she turned onto a narrow bridge. As she did, the truck hit a hole on the road and slid off the road, and the right front wheel got stuck in the hole. Fearing the truck would tip over, she attempted to pull it back up onto the road by movi
39、ng the steering wheel(方向盘) to the left. But Rockys foot got caught between her leg and the steering wheel and she lost control of the truck. The truck turned over and over down a 20-foot valley. When it hit bottom, Rocky woke up. “What happened, Mama?” he asked. “Our wheels are pointing toward the s
40、ky.” Kelly was blinded by blood. Her teeth were torn out, her cheeks destroyed, her shoulders crushed. “Ill get you out, Mama,” announced Rocky, who had miraculously escaped injury. He pulled out from under Kelly, slid through the open window and tried to pull his mother out. But she didnt move. “Ju
41、st let me sleep,” begged Kelly, who was out of consciousness. “No, Mama,” Rocky insisted. “You cant go to sleep. And I think I can help you out. I think I can.”Rocky went back into the truck and managed to push Kelly out of the truck. He then told her hed climb up to the road and stop a car to get h
42、elp. Fearing that no one would be able to see her little boy in the dark, Kelly refused to let him go alone. Instead they slowly climbed up the hill, with Rocky using his 40-pound body to push his 104-pound mother. The pain was so great that Kelly wanted to give up, but Rocky wouldnt let her. To urg
43、e his mother on, Rocky told her to think about “that little train”, the one in the classic childrens story, The Little Engine That Could, which managed to get up a steep mountain by repeating “I think I can”. To remind her, Rocky kept repeating his version of the storys inspirational phrase: “I know
44、 you can, I know you can.” When they finally reached the road, Rocky was able to see his mothers torn face clearly for the first time. He broke into tears. Waving his arms and pleading, “Stop! Please stop!” the boy stopped a truck. “Get my mama to a hospital,” he begged the driver. It took 8 hours t
45、o rebuild Kellys face. She looks quite different today! Rockys heroics were big news. But the youngster insists he didnt do anything extraordinary. “Its not like I wanted it to happen,” he explains. “I just did what anyone would have done.” 51.
