    Last week at a friend’s birthday party, there was a mooncake eating contest and I persuaded my good friend Jonathan to take part in it. Even though he had just finished a big dinner, he managed to win the contest. Not only did he win a bottle of nice whiskey, but also a big box of expensive Hong Kong mooncakes. A few days later, I was hosting an opening party for my new office. Jonathan showed up with the lovely box of Hong Kong mooncakes he had won the other night. I thought it was a lovely joke, and the mooncakes were delicious. Still, it got me thinking about the concept of regifting in China.

    In the States, we have a tradition around Christmas similar to giving mooncakes, only we call them fruitcakes. Fruitcakes are made from terrible preserved (加工过的) fruit and nobody likes to eat them. You often find your friends giving the fruitcake you gave them to someone else, and so on. But fruitcakes aside, it isn’t very often to catch someone regifting something in America, as it’s seen to be very cheap and embarrassing (尴尬的). An obvious way to tell if something has been regifted is to check the wrapping (包装).

    However, many of my friends in China will proudly regift an old gift, especially if it is still wrapped in a pretty box. I find it somewhat uncomfortable to receive a gift that I know wasn’t bought for me. But I also understand that the gift is perfectly good, it just lacks the special meaning of being picked out by a friend. There are many occasions in Chinese culture when gifts are necessary. There are traditional items such as tea, cigarettes and liquor which seem fine to regift. These gifts are not personal and have no special meaning. But is it really proper to give someone something that was never bought for them in the first place?

     

    68．This article is written to          .

           A．praise some customs in China               B．question a social practice

           C．show how to regift                              D．tell an embarrassing story

    69．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

           A．Americans often regift things on holidays.

           B．Regifting can hardly be seen in China.

           C．It is comfortable to be seen to regift in America.

           D．It is acceptable to regift some traditional items in China.

    70．The second paragraph is mainly about         in the USA.

           A．giving fruitcakes                                  B．regifting

           C．checking the wrapping of gifts              D．Christmas tradition

    71．The author thinks it really uncomfortable to receive           .

           A．an expensive gift from a close friend      B．a gift given again by a friend

           C．some items such as tea and cigarettes    D．a box of mooncakes from Hong Kong

    Michelle Obama made a daring decision to return to the same designer who created her Inaugural (就职）Ball dress four years ago --- and the risk paid off.

    The First Lady looked extremely attractive in a thin, sweeping, and ruby-colored dress by designer Jason Wu. She teamed the dramatic dress with heels by Jimmy Choo and a diamond ring by Kimberly McDonald.

    She surprised the fashion establishment by returning to a Wu design which had been the custom made for her.

    Four years ago at her first Inauguration Ball, Michelle shimmered（熠熠生辉）in an off-white, one-shouldered floor-length dress by the designer.

    Wu, who was 26 at the time and had only been working in fashion for three years, saw his career take off after the First Lady's surprise decision to wear one of his dresses.

    He said at the time that he was unaware she had chosen the dress and had been watching at home on his couch and eating pizza when she appeared.

    After her 2013 decision, Wu told Women's Wear Daily: “Mrs Obama likes to keep her secrets. She fooled me again.”

    Wu released a women's clothing and accessories（装饰品）collection at Target last year and continues to be popular with the First Lady for official engagements.

    The sleeveless, cross-halter neck dress with low-cut back flattered（突出）49-year-old Michelle's arms and neat waist.

    It had been created especially for her by Wu and was a departure from the dark and plain colour tone she stuck to at earlier inauguration events.

    Mrs Obama's new hairstyle -- she had bangs（美发沙龙）cut on her birthday last week  had been loosely tousled（蓬松的）for the special night.

    Vice-President Joe Biden's wife Jill also looked attractive in a blue silk dress by Vera Wang at the Inauguration Ball.

    1.What does the passage mainly talk about？

    A．Michelle Obama’s inaugural ball dress.

    B．Wu, a great designer.

    C．The First Lady’s secrets.

    D．Mrs Obama’s 2013 decision.

    2.Michelle Obama’s brave decision proved to be a_________.

    A．risk                                  B．danger

    C． Surprise                             D．success

    3. According to the passage, which of the following is correct?

    A．Mrs Obama’s inaugural dresses were made by the same designer.

    B．Joe Biden’s wife Jill also had her dress created by Wu.

    C．The colour tone at Michelle’s earlier inaugural events was not satifactory.

    D．Mrs Obama had straight forehead hair as her new hairstyle for the special night.

    4. Which of the following best describes Jason Wu?

    A．Daring and gifted.

    B．Unusual and cautious.

    C．Careful and brave.

    D．Talented and lucky.

    5. From the 6th and 7th paragraphs we know that________.

    A．Wu was aware that Mrs Obama had chosen his work again

    B．Wu didn’t know Mrs Obama had chosen his creation again.

    C．Mrs Obama told Wu to give away her secrets

    D．Mrs Obama should have told Wu the truth
