【题目】选择合适的选项补全短文。
Holiday gift buying can feel a little empty, when all of those endless lists, long lines at the shopping center and dollars spent lead to a 5-miute excitement of flying wrapping paper.The following tips can help make gift giving more meaningful for both the giver and the receiver.
1).Know the person
The most important thing in the exchanging of gifts is that it shows you really know the person well, and you really care about them.
2).Donate in their name
Research suggests that happier people give more to others, and that giving more makes people happier. Moreover, charity-related happiness is highest when people give in a way that promotes social connection. So, try giving to the less fortunate in someone's name this holiday season.
3).Give handmade goods or hand-me-downs
A study suggests that people feel that homemade items show more love, and love is what they want to express to the gift receiver.
Family heirlooms(传家宝)may be another good girl option. A 2009 study found that when families hand down even a very depersonalized thing—money—through the generations, the symbolic value of the cash is greater than the numerical value alone.
4).Provide chances for participation
If there's a golden rule of girls, though, it's this:People who receive experiential girls, such as concert tickets or a zoo membership, feel more connected to the girl giver than people who received material girls.
A. But it doesn't have to be that way.
B. Give experiences rather than objects.
C. New and store—bought is not always best.
D. That is always beyond their expectation.
E. That means catering to another's pleasure.
F. Giving gifts to friends or to charity is linked to happiness.
G. Start listing every person you plan to give a holiday gift

【题目】I grew up in a troubled home in the 1970s, on the outskirts of downtown Orlando, Florida. Not far away, a three-story house attracted my eyes.

It was nothing like the one I lived in with my mother, a small dark place with rules about befriending others. “Don’t. Never, ever talk to anyone,” my mother said.

One day, in sixth grade, a black-haired woman was introduced to our class: Mrs. Reese. Reese explained that she was starting Spanish Club. She invited anyone interested in learning Spanish language and culture to stay after school.

I could not take my eyes off her bracelets(手镯) and shining rings. The bell rang, and to my shock, no one went up to Mrs. Reese. I was under strict orders to go straight home. But that day, I stayed. I asked Mrs. Reese when the club started.

“We could begin right now if you like,” she said with a smile. I felt beautiful. That day I learned that the house of my dreams was her house. I learned how to answer questions about my age and my favorite food in Spanish. And I learned, “Do you want to come over tomorrow for cooking lessons?”

I wanted to say “Yes”, but Mom’s words held me back.

I begged my mother all summer and into fall, well after Spanish Club had dissolved. I wept at night sometimes, so worried that Mrs. Reese and her family would move away.

At some point, I managed to wear my mother down and one Saturday afternoon. I rode out to Mrs. Reese’s house.

The details of that afternoon are marked in my mind: We had tea. She painted my toenails red. We made a garlicky picadillo. We spoke in Spanish. In Spanish, my voice was loud and romantic. This is the real me! I remember thinking.

My mother never permitted me another visit to Mrs. Reese’s house. But four decades later, I still remember that day and the life she showed me, proof of a possible future.

1What kind of family was the author from?

A. Hard-up. B. Two-parent.

C. Stress-free. D. Disease-ridden.

2Why did the author choose to join the club?

A. She wanted to stay longer at school.

B. She intended to comfort Mrs. Reese.

C. She was deeply attracted by Mrs. Reese.

D. She hoped to befriend the owner of her dreamt house.

3The author went to Mrs. Reese’s house ________.

A. with the help of her tears

B. while no one was noticing

C. with her mother’s permission

D. just before the lady moved away

4What did the author gain from Mrs. Reese?

A. The beauty of Spanish.

B. The wonder of a new world.

C. The power of self-confidence.

D. The importance of independence.
