   Have you ever received a gift that was so dearly, not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had been handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she responded with a polite "Why, thank you," but you knew you had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices (good and bad) reflect about your persona] qualities?

Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe. It calls for empathy -- the ability to put yourself into someone else's head and heart We're all able to do this; in fact, we're born with a kind of natural empathy. After the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced (加强)--by our parents, teachers, friends. When it isn't, we're not able to understand other people's feelings as sharply. This can show in the gifts we select, and so can many other emotional (情感的) qualities.

   Think back to the presents you’ve given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection, how much you spent, your thoughts while you were shopping, and your feelings when the receiver opened the package. Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world. (Y/course, you may express yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know.

   We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication. Ignoring the tradition won't make it go away. If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends ahead of time.

 

60.  The underlined expression "you had missed the mark" means "you had failed to _____'.

   A. make her feel better            B. keep your friendship

Bali is an Indonesia island that is rich in indigenous (本土的) culture.A lot of people say that Balinese culture is unique and that the people of Bali have always been contented with the "now".If you ask a Balinese person what heaven is like, the probable answer will be "just like Bali".This only goes to show that most Balinese people are happy to be where they are and never worry.

One factor that contributes to this laidback lifestyle is the culture of close family ties in Bali.In the Balinese culture, support is always available.Balinese extended families are so tightly knit that all members usually reside in the same complex.

Balinese culture is based on a form of this religion, which is called "Hindu Darma".This religion reached the island during the eleventh century.Most of the family customs and

traditions as well as community lifestyles of the Balinese people are influenced by this.The religious influence even expands widely into the arts, which makes Bali distinct from the rest of Indonesia.

         In spite of the fact that tourists flood to the island every year, Balinese people have managed to conserve their culture.Almost every native of Bali is an artist in some form or another.Parents and villagers have passed on their skills to their children, who all seem to have inclinations (爱好) either to music, dance, painting, and decor.

         Another remarkable mark of the Balinese culture is the series of ceremonies and rituals known as the Manusa Yadnya.This marks the different stages of Balinese life.Cremation (火葬) is very popular on this island—and unlike in the West, death is a joyous and colorful event for the Balinese.

1.What do we know about Balinese according to the first two paragraphs?

         A.They lead a very relaxing but unwealthy life.

         B.They live in large families and are close to each other.

         C.Their family members are distributed in different places.

         D.Their extended families live too close together to get along well.

2.Bali is distinguished from the rest of Indonesia by _____.

         A.people's tight family relationship

         B.the family customs and traditions

         C.people's great affection for religion

         D.the influence of Hinduism on their culture

3.The underlined word "conserve" in Para.4 can be best replaced by "_____".

         A.preserve        B.spread      C.form         D.expand

4.When a person dies in Bali, it is a common practice to _____.

         A.express deep sorrow at his death

         B.celebrate the death like a great event

         C.sing and dance joyfully in his honor

         D.remember what he did in his lifetime
