Did you know that there are gifts that will multiply your happiness when you give them away? Here are five of those gifts. Giving these gifts will allow you to share with others your most unique treasure: your real self. Each gift will return to you many times.

1. Share appreciation

Tell someone how much you appreciate the faith they've shown in you. Thank them sincerely for being part of your life. Tell them how much they are needed.

Feeling appreciated is one of the most important needs that people have. When you share with someone your appreciation and gratitude, they will not forget you. Appreciation will return to you many times.

2. Share time

Balance your time expenditures (耗费)so you can spend time with the people that you love. Support local organizations by sharing your special talents. Volunteer time for projects that benefit others in your community, country, and world.

When we slow down and observe our thoughts closely, we will sometimes uncover gifts and talents we didn't know we had. Sharing time and talents can result in discoveries that bring happiness beyond measure.

3. Share knowledge and ideas

Tell someone about a great book that you read so they can benefit from it too. Teach a new concept or idea that you've learned.

One of the best ways to strengthen new concepts in your mind is to share them with others. The more often you share what you've learned, the stronger that information will become in your memory. Sharing knowledge also provides solutions to problems. The more knowledge we share, the more knowledge we receive in return.

4. Share friendship

Acknowledge someone's strengths. Let them know that you are willing to be there when they need you. Visit someone you haven't seen for a long time. Telephone friends or relatives who live far away. Introduce two friends who don't know each other.

Bringing one individual into another's life can result in tremendous changes for both people, and for you. We succeed with the help of others. People grow by growing together. If you'd like to have many friends, then share friendship with others generously.

5. Share kindness

Perform a random act of kindness for someone: a smile, compliment, or a favor just for fun. These will multiply and spread very rapidly.

There is a powerful quote by Stephen Jay Gould who said, “The center of human nature is rooted in ten thousand ordinary acts of kindness that define our days.” Kindness is priceless. The love, kindnesses, and value we have given authentically to others will be our remaining treasures at the end of life.

Think about this statement by Norman MacEwan: “Happiness is not so much in having as sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”

What is the best title of this passage?

    A. We want to share.      B. Give your presents away. 

    C. We make a life by giving.      D. Don’t be mean to give.

What can we learn from Stephen Jay Gould’s words?

    A. We all come from a world which is in a harmonious atmosphere.

    B. Everybody’s deep heart is filled with kindness at first, which decides our present life.

    C. Kindness is the most important thing in our daily life.

    D. We need kindness all the time.

For those who are living a life on the go, what suggestion will the writer probably give to them?

    A. Tell the people around you how much you love them.

    B. No one is an isolated island. We succeed with the help of others

    C. The more knowledge we share, the more knowledge we receive in return.

    D. Slow down and enjoy the life, which may bring you a brand new world with happiness.

Where can you probably find this passage?

    A. Magazines       B. Newspapers C. Guide books     D. Scientific reports

【小题1】答案C。本题是概括题。从文章中作者想要告诉读者的是我们要与他人分享我们的美好东西,这样这些礼物也会回报我们,使我们生活的更加美好。文章最后一段We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.是这个理念升华。文章中涉及的不光是给予,而且更加主要的是我们给予后会使我们的生活更加美好。所以ABD都不合适。

【小题1】答案B。本题是理解题。The center of human nature is rooted in ten thousand ordinary acts of kindness that define our days. 这句话中提到人类的本性中心是通过成千上万的善举来定义我们的日子。

【小题1】答案D。本题是理解题。题干中提到的人是生活非常繁忙的人,所以建议肯定跟时

【小题1】答案A。本题是概括题。从文章的文笔和涉及的话题都符合杂志,因为报纸一般都是注重实效性,而旅游书和科学报告没有什么迷惑性。

Tomorrow was his girlfriend’s birthday and the young man was having a difficult time deciding on a present for her. She already had more clothes than she knew what to do with them, so he couldn’t get any kind of apparel. She never ate sweets, so candy was out of the question. What then? He had a very special reason for wanting to impress her with just the right gift,for tomorrow he was going to make an offer of marriage to her. He finally decided on perfume(香水). All girls liked perfume. That raised another problem, however. What kind did she prefer? He couldn’t ask her because that would ruin the surprise.

At last the young man hit upon a brilliant idea. That afternoon, pretending to take his girlfriend’s fox terrier(小猎狗),Fritz, for a walk, the young man and the dog went directly to the perfume counter of the town’s biggest department store. Good! There was a large array(长列)of perfume. He beckoned(招呼)a clerk, asking her to open a large number of bottles and wave the stoppers (塞子)under the dog’s nose. Nestled(依偎于) in the young man’s arms, the terrier began to be restless and bored as this seemingly meaningless game went on. Then Fritz suddenly became frisky, wiggling in the young man’s arms and barking excitedly, as the clerk waved one stopper under its nose.

“I’ll take that one,” said the young man to the clerk. The price was high, but it was worth it, he thought.

“ My favorite perfume!” said the delighted girl the next evening as she unwrapped the package. “ How did you know?” she asked, dabbing(轻擦)some perfume behind each ear.

“ Intuition(直觉), I guess.”said the young man, deciding that it wasn’t exactly wrong to tell a lie at that time. One day, after they were married, he would admit that his intuition had really been the little dog named Fritz.

1.Which of the following words best describes the young man in the story?

A.Kind-hearted       B.Curious           C.Creative           D.Mean

2.The underlined word “ frisky” (in Paragraph 4) means “_______”

A.lively             B.angry             C.uneasy            D.puzzled

3.According to the story, the birthday present for the girl was actually decided on by_______.

A.the young man     B.the store clerk      C.the man’s intuition D.the dog Fritz

4.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the story?

A.The young man wanted to give his girlfriend a pleasant surprise.

B.The pet dog Fritz knew what the young man wanted very well.

C.The kind of perfume the young man chose was expensive.

D.The young man told a white lie about his final choice of the perfume.

根据短文内容,从下框的A~F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余选项。(注意:E涂AB;F涂AC;G涂AD.)

A. Stay busy.

B. Wear what fits you.

C. You can possibly be attractive.

D. Great posture makes you attractive.

E. Helping others makes you attractive.

F. Attention to others makes you attractive.

 

61.                         

It is possible to be an attractive person when you are in a job interview or in a place where you just want to gain the respect of others. It’s not about how much money you make, and it’s not about your daddy is. What it is about is some simple things in your life. It just has a lot to do with being confident in who you are.

62.                       

Ask questions about others when you stay with them and listen to them patiently. Talking about yourself all the time shows that you pay no attention to others. Shifting attention from yourself to others makes you attractive. It indicates that you are humble (谦逊的). If you come across as a know-it-all (even if you really do know it all), it really pushes people feel that you care, you are humble and you can be trusted.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

63.                       

Have you ever seen a potentially very attractive person, but he has terrible posture (姿势)?It’s all ruined, isn’t it? Or perhaps you have seen someone who may be quite ugly but he has great posture and so suddenly he is really attractive? It’s true. Your posture says a lot about you – it says whether you have confidence, or simply if you really care. Talking physically, it is one of the most important physical characteristics you need.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

64.                        

Keeping doing things shows that you have power. You’re told to stay busy to ward off (防止,避免) depression and feelings of anxiety. But did you know you should also stay busy to be really attractive? It’s true. Always have something to do. Have you ever seen someone just sitting around, doing nothing? How unattractive! Always be busy with something, Even if for some reason you have to make something up.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

65.                          

Wear clothes that fit you. Too tight, people are distracted. Too loose, you just look sloppy (肥大而难看的). For women, wearing tight pants or shirts is not attractive. Slightly loose things are best, or other things that just fit you and your shape well but not tight. Men and women with taste and style really don’t know why some guys think their pants sagging down are somehow attractive. It just tells people you don’t really care. You are following the crowd. Wear things that fit you nicely.
