15.Except for a few times,Americans are not big present-givers.Business people never give presents to each other,and if one American tries to give another a present,it may look like that he wants to bribe (贿赂) him.Americans have learned that in some other countries people like to give presents to others,but among ourselves we don't see the need for presents.
Even friends may never exchange presents.When I go to foreign countries,I try to bring back little things for close friends,but nobody would feel unhappy if I didn't.I don't often remember a friend's birthday,and few people outside of my family remember mine.If someone gave me presents too often,I'd get unpleasant.But a present from a foreigner-that kind from his or her homeland-won't go wrong,except to government employees (政府职员) who can't accept presents.
You usually open a present at once and in front of the person who gives it except Christmas and birthday presents.You should only say,‘It's so nice.Thanks…'when you get Christmas or birthday presents.
When you go to a dinner party you may want to bring a bottle of wine (葡萄酒) or flowers.Nobody will mind if you bring wine,but your friend may not use it that evening.
At Christmas we often give presents to our family and sometimes our friends.We also give presents to people who have been helpful during the year like doormen,babysitters,housecleaners,newspaper senders-anyone who has often helped us.

50.What does the underlined phrase"close friends"mean in Chinese?D
A.附近的朋友.
B.普通朋友.
C.过去的朋友      
D.亲密的朋友.
51.What kind of presents don't Americans usually open in front of the givers?B
A.The small presents.
B.Christmas or birthday presents.
C.The expensive presents.
D.The presents for dinner party.
52.Which of the following is right?B
A.American business people don't want presents because they are rich enough.
B.The writer of this passage must be an American.
C.Americans give presents to housecleaners at Christmas to make them work harder.
D.Government employees can get presents from a foreigner.
53.What is the main idea of the passage?A
A.Present-giving in the United States.
B.Customs (习俗) in the United States.
C.American people and present-giving.
D.When and how to give presents.

9.Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost mention recycling.Recycling in the homes is very important.However,having to recycle often means we already have more products than we need.We are just dealing with the results of that  over-consumption in the greenest way,but it would be much better if we did not bring so many goods home.
The total amount of packaging(外包装) has increased by 12% between 1999and 2005.It is 1/3of a home's waste in the UK.In many supermarkets,food products are packaged twice with plastic and paper.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment.The UK,for example,is running out of land because of this unnecessary waste.If such packaging is burnt,it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect.Besides,the plastic from the package puts some creatures in danger,especially birds and fish.
Recycling helps,but the recycling itself uses energy.The solution is not to produce such waste in the first place.Food waste is a serious problem,too.Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need.However,few of them have the idea that this cannot continue.For example,supermarkets should encourage customers to reuse their plastic bags.
But this is not just about supermarkets.It is about all of us.We have been used to the idea that packaging means excellence while anything unpackaged is of poor condition.This is especially true of food.But this idea has spread to other products,which often have far more packaging than necessary.
There are signs of hope.As more of us recycle,we are beginning to realize just how many unnecessary goods are collected.We need to face the waste of our consumer culture,but we have a mountain to climb.

51.What does the underlined word"over-consumption"in Paragraph 1refer to?C
A.Using too much packaging.
B.Recycling too many wastes.
C.Buying more products than needed.
D.Making more products than necessary.
52.Which of the following damage of over packaging is NOT mentioned?B
A.It may waste land.
B.It may pollute the food.
C.It may do harm to the living things.
D.It may make the green house effect worse.
53.According to the passage,which of the following is true about recycling?D
A.It leads to a waste of land.
B.It means burning packaging for energy.
C.It is the only solution to the greenhouse effect.
D.It helps reduce the harm caused by too much packaging.
54.Why do people prefer packaged products?D
A.Supermarkets encourage them.
B.People care more about packaging.
C.It is necessary for all the products to have package.
D.People think unpackaged products are of poor condition.
55.What does the writer tell us in the last paragraph?A
A.Fighting waste is difficult.
B.People don't waste any more.
C.People only recycle necessary goods now.
D.We should continue our consumer culture.
