A white elephant gift exchange is a popular holiday party game in, the United States. Generally, the party needs at least six participants, and' the larger the group: is, the more entertaining the game will be. 1.But it can result in heated competitions between players trying to get the gifts.
2.Sometimes, the rule is that the item must be previously owned, which means that you can exchange an unwanted item or trinket(小装饰品) with your friends. But sometimes you can buy a new but inexpensive item just for the party.
Every participant is expected to bring one wrapped(包装好的) gift. A white elephant gift is usually something useless or inconvenient.3. Guests are asked to wrap them nicely and leave no identifying markings on the presents.
To start the game, a participant must act as the first player to choose a gift; this can be decided randomly or by picking numbers out of a hat. 4.As for the next player? This person can either “steal” the first person’s gift or choose an unwrapped item from the pile. Each gift can be stolen only three times before it is considered "dead".
5.Any person that has to give up a gift can also pick a new gift or steal one from another person. Each turn is only allowed three swaps between the current player and the previous players. The game won't finish until all the presents are opened.
A. It all depends on how the game is organized.
B. This process is repeated until the game is over.
C. Don’t forget that the game’s purpose is to have fun.
D. The first player then opens the gift in front of everyone.
E. White elephant gift exchange can be run in different ways.
F. The goal of the party is usually entertainment rather than gain.
G. Trinkets, unidentifiable kitchen items and toys are typical “white elephants” .
Researchers are trying to figure out exactly when and where a lizard got trapped in the sap(汁、液) of a tree. Over time, the tree sap turned into amber (琥珀), preserving the lizard’s mains, which a man discovered and donated to the Miller Museum of geology at Queen’s University. But the man didn’t report the amber’s age and where he got it.
“The man who donated it died, unfortunately,” said Ellen Handyside, an undergraduate student at Queen’s University. “We are really starting from scratch in determining its history Ellen Handyside is leading the research into the amber-surrounded lizard. She and her colleagues analyzed the chemical composition of the 4.7-inch -long piece of amber and learned some facts. “The amber wasn’t actually artificial,” she told Live Science, “and we found that it did match up quite well to an amber sample.”
The researchers analyzed the amber's carbon and hydrogen isotopes(同位素) and the results indicated that the amber was formed from the sap of a flowering tree. Moreover, the results suggested that the tree and the lizard, for that matter, lived in an area with a lot of rainfall and dated to the Neogene, a period that lasted from the end of the Paleogene Period 23.03 million years ago to the beginning of the present Quatemary Period. Next, the scientific team realized that the 2.7-inch-long lizard was likely a gecko(壁虎), according to a detailed, 3D, digital model of the animal’s body that the researchers created through X-ray microscopy scans.
“We looked at the skull ---the teeth are in place and the ear bones are there too. And we’ve even got some flesh, skin and its long toes,” Handyside said. “It’s fantastic!” She said she hoped that they could figure out how the creature fit into the gecko family tree. “When you think of a gecko, you think of short and fat toes and sticky pads. That isn’t what we’re looking at, but it’s more likely to live in trees. If it were a tree-living creature, then its death actually could make more sense,” Handyside said.
1.What can probably be inferred about the amber?
A. It was obtained by a museum at a low price.
B. Its original owner knew nothing about it.
C. It was found to be a unique type of amber.
D. Its donor didn't say much about its history.
2.What was found about the lizard through studying isotopes?
A. Its category.
B. Its shape.
C. Its living habit.
D. Its living surroundings.
3.What can we learn from Handyside’s words?
A. The Lizard's death was caused by a gecko,
B. The lizard has fat and short toes.
C. The lizard is preserved very well.
D. The lizard belongs to the tree living creature.
4.What does the author mainly tell us in this passage?
A. The discovery of a piece of natural amber.
B. The mystery about a piece of amber.
C. The research into a piece of amber.
D. The meaningful death of a lizard.
