What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt(收据)? Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most? This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion(蒲公英) standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father. I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that l already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; My dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate. Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling (卷曲的)black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift. 1.The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was . A. doing shopping B. having a debate C. leaving for Wyoming D. reading a message 2.The author's inspiration for the gift came from . A. a photo of a flower B. a story about a kid C. a call from the mother D. a text about Christmas 3.The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by _ . A. the father B. the author C. Edgar Allan Poe D. William Blake 4.The author made the gift by . A. searching for the poems online B. drawing the background by hand C. painting the letters in three colors D. matching the words with pictures 5.What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To show how to design images for gifts B. To suggest making gifts from one's heart. C. To explain how computers help create gifts D. To describe the gifts the author has received.

Brenda Bongos was a happy, artistic girl. She had one big ambition—to play the drums in a band. But one big problem lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practice a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy. One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because there's no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut. With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit（成套设备） and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child. It wasn't long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band. Years later, when asked how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment, and said: ''If those old people next – door hadn't mattered so much to me, I wouldn't have found a solution, and none of this would have ever happened.'' 1.Why did Brenda try to play in the strangest places? A. Because she didn't want others to hear her play B. Because she didn't mean to disturb others. C. Because she didn't have her own room D. Because she didn’t like her neighbors. 2.Brenda started to give concerts _______. A. after she practiced in her space bubble B. when she became part of the unique space journey C. after she became a real musical astronaut D. when people came to see her in the space bubble 3.Brenda became famous because _______. A. she was good at music and science B. she became a real musical astronaut C. she invented a special way of practice D. she played well and had a talent 4.Which of the following can be used to describe Brenda? A. Kind, hardworking and clever B. Brave, kind and hardworking. C. Lovely, brave and kind D. Nervous, kind and clever. 5.It can be inferred from the text that: " _______". A. He laughs best who laughs last B. It's never too old to learn C. Two heads are better than one D. One good turn deserves another

Even if you really enjoy your job, it’s still possible to feel bored as you work. You may not be able to make big changes—or change your job—but you can make small adjustments. Here are some tips on how to battle boredom. 1. Switch Your Seat Change your outlook at the office by changing your office. Ask your assistant to help you find a new desk. If it’s not possible to change your location, see if you can change your desk’s direction. A new view can be just as refreshing as a new location. 2. ______________ Take a subway. Ride a bike on sunny days. You needn’t change the way to go to work for ever—just long enough to help you escape the boredom. 3. Find a New Work Style Tired of attending that long-standing Monday morning meeting? Try to change it to the afternoon. If you find yourself feeling most bored in the afternoons, try to arrange to do your favorite tasks then and tackle less desirable projects in the mornings. If you usually communicate with coworkers via email and instant messaging, start dealing with people face to face. Increased communication with coworkers may help improve your mood. 4. Get and Set an aim If your work is short of aims, it’s no wonder that work has become boring. Set an aim. Your aim needn’t be great as long as you are enthusiastic about it. Whatever it is, actively move toward an objective. 1. What is the main idea of the passage? (within 10 words) ______________________________________________________________________________________ 2.Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one? You will feel bored when you are not working toward something. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words. (within 8 words) ——————————————————————————————————————————— 4. List three methods of escaping from boredom from the passage. (within 5 words for each) ①________________________ ②________________________ ③________________________ 5.Translate the underlined sentence in the Last Paragraph into Chinese.
