         Giving an unwanted gift you received to someone else (regifting) is not considered as unacceptable
    as in the past. Many Americans begin to regift and they think that regifting is okay most of the time. But
    what should you avoid when regifting?
         First of all, a gift card hidden in a gift box can easily get passed along in error. Therefore, take the
    card out of the old packaging, buy a new one and take a little extra time to make the packaging look
    fresh and attractive.
         Secondly, people like to believe the gifts they receive are chosen with thought and consideration. If
    you tell someone that the necklace you are giving is the one your aunt gave you last year, what you are
    really saying is that you are giving them something you think is ugly or useless.
         Thirdly, there is a big difference between regifting an unused gift and one that you have used just for
    a short time and decided you no longer want. Remember, a regift is a new thing. A hand-me-down is an
    item you've used and offer to someone else when you decide you no longer use it.
         Most importantly, avoid giving a regift to friends who originally gave the gift to you. If the regift is
    given, you risk getting caught for giving it away to the person who gave it to you.
         In a word, regifting is a wonderful way to save money and when it is done with thought, we can
    achieve the goal of why we are giving a gift to someone in the first place - because we want them to have
    something they will enjoy.

    1. You are advised to give a new packaging to a gift mainly because       .
    A. Americans like something new and attractive
    B. it shows that the card has never been used
    C. you can avoid giving the gift receiver wrong things.
    D. it shows that the gift is chosen with thought

    2. The worst thing happens when you       .
    A. regift a hand-me-down item        
    B. regift what you don't like
    C. regift something wrapped in the original packaging
    D. regift to the person who gave it to you

    3. The main purpose of the writer is to tell us       .
    A. it's common to regift in America
    B. the things we should avoid when regifting
    C. regifting can cause mistakes  
    D. what are the proper things to regift

    4. We can conclude from the text that the key to regifting is to       .
    A. do it with thought
    B. pay attention to what you say
    C. save as much money as possible    
    D. make the regift look new and attractive

    　　TWO teams of astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope and other instruments have found evidence(证据)of a type of black hole that has never been seen before.

    　　Roeland Van Der Marel of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore said last week his group has confirmed(证实) the existence of a midsized black hole in a cluster (group) of stars called M15, about 32,000 light years away.

    　　Yan Der Marel said the black hole has about 4,000 times the mass of the sun, which makes it the smallest galactic(银河的)black hole ever found.

    　　Another group, led by Michael Rich of the University of California, Los Angeles, looked into a cluster of stars called GI and found a black hole that has about. 20,000 times the mass of the sun. It is some 2.2 million light years away.

    　　Using the motion of stars within the clusters, the astronomers could determine the mass of the star groups and of the black holes. They found that the ratio(rate) of the mass of black holes to the mass of globular (球状的) clusters (smaller than a galaxy ) was precisely (精确地) the same as the ratio between supermassive (超质地的) black holes and galaxies. This suggests a neat, uniform(一致的) universal truth that applies the same mass ratio to black holes of all sizes everywhere, explains Karl Gebhardt of the University of Texas, a member of the G1 team.

    　　The new discovery may help astronomers answer a basic question: Which came first. galaxies or black holes? Both theories have been proposed and finding intermediatesized(中等规模的) black holes may help answer that question.

    1．The astronomers from ________ American institutes and universities discovered the black holes.

    [　　]

    A．two
    B．three
    C．four
    D．five

    2．Where do the black holes exist?

    [　　]

    A．In a cluster of stars called M15.

    B．In a clusters of stars called G1

    C．In clusters of stars of the galaxy.

    D．Between the sun and the earth.

    3．Which of the following is NOT true?

    [　　]

    A．The scientists determined the mass of the black holes using the motion of stars within the clusters.

    B．Midsized black holes can give evidence for the answer to“Which came first, galaxies or black holes”.

    C．The ratio of the mass of black holes of all sizes is the same.

    D．The ratio of the mass between supermassive black holes and galaxies is larger than that between black holes to the mass of globular clusters.

    4．Which is the most proper title of the article?

    [　　]

    A．Search for the origin of black holes

    B．More black holes are discovered

    C．Which came first, galaxies or black holes?

    D．Search for more black holes

         Yang Yang, putting behind her a dismal fourth place finish in the 1,500 meters three days ago, got off to a
    sparking lead and never looked back to cross the line in 44. 187 seconds. World-record holder and four-time
    European champion Evgenia Radanova followed her 0.065 seconds behind.
         Another Chinese, Wang Chunju, the world champion in the shortest distance came in third, two-hundredths
    of second further behind.
         Yang,25,whose name is tagged with the letter A to distinguish her from her younger teammate and
    namesake, Yang Yang ( S),is the overall World Cup winner in this season, with the top points in the 1,000m
    and 1,500m.
         In the 1,500m, the younger Yang,24, who won two silver medals in Nagano four years ago, crashed out
    while chasing hard after two South Korean teenagers, Ko Gi-Hyun and Choi Eun-Kyung, who eventually
    finished first and second. Yang Yang( A) ended up fourth.
         Yang Yang( S) did not compete in the 500 meters.
    1. What day was the day when Yang Yang ( A) competed in the 1,500 meters?
    A. Saturday.
    B. Friday.
    C. Thursday.
    D. Wednesday.
    2. How long did Evgenia Radanova take to finish the 500m final?
    A. 44. 252 seconds.
    B. 44. 187 seconds.
    C. 44.122 seconds.
    D. None of the above.
