We all have to give gifts during the year. No matter what the occasion is, birthday, holiday or a special event, we make it a point to show we care by buying something nice for that special person. Well, the waste created by gift giving can really add up in the trash. Keep in mind that there are several ways that you can cut down on the remaining waste next time you buy that special someone a gift.
Make sure that your gift will be used. It’s almost impossible to make sure that the receiver will find your gift to their liking, but if you do your homework, you can be as sure as possible. Consider a gift wish list or just ask them, if you’re really not sure. It may cut down on the surprise, but if they give you a list of two or three things that they’d truly appreciate, then you can shop with the confidence that it won’t end up in the garbage five miuntes after it’s opened.
When you buy a gift, make sure that it’s as ecofriendly(有利于生態的) as possible. Buy hemp(麻布) clothing, or products made with natural dyes(染料).
Give the gift of donation. If you have no idea what to buy, then consider making a donation to a charity. Take into consideration their interests and passions and donate in their name.
Make it or bake it. Give something that can be eaten or can be used, like some homemade vinegar or cookies. Homemade candles are very popular and can be made to be more eco-friendly than store-bought ones.
Give a gift of your time. Offer babysitting services or a day of housecleanin g. Most people would appreciate a little lessening of stress or responsibility on any given day.
Wrap(包裝) with care. The paper products you use for gift wrap should be recycled at the very least. Gift bags can be found made from recycled materials and can be reused over and over again for many gift giving occasions.
68．According to Paragraph 2, when you need to give somebody a gift, you’d better_______.
A．prepare a special one B．find out what they like in advance
C．finish your school homework first D．shop for the gift confidently
69．By saying “It may cut down on the surprise” in Paragraph 2, the author probably means_______.
A．your gift may be a big surprise to the receiver
B．the receiver will open the gift with surprise
C．the gift will cost you much less money
D．the receiver will be less surprised at your gift
70．Which of the following ways of gift giving will the author most probably agree with?
A．Helping to clean the house.
B．Wrapping a gift with thin paper.
C．Donating something to a charity in your name.
D．Buying a beautiful plastic toy.
71．Who are probably interested in reading the passage?
A．Those who like to go shopping every day.
B．Those who like to give eco-friendly gifts.
C．Those who have little money to buy gifts.
D．Those who manage a gift shop.

Different people use different languages. We Chinese speak Chinese, and, most of us are learning a foreign language. But there is another kind of language we need to know --- the language of the body.
All over the world, people “talk with their hand, with their heads and with their eyes.” When Japanese people meet, they bow. When Indians meet, they put their hands together. What do American and British do? Americans are more imformal(不拘小節的) than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first names, they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down, they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable. British people are more reserved(保守的). They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask your name.
When British or American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends, and men kiss women friends (on one cheek only). When a man meets a man, he just smiles, and says, “Hello.” Men do not kiss each other, or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.
【小題1】In the passsage, the writer thinks that body language is ______________.
| A．uselss | B．difficult | C．quite easy | D．important |
| A．different countries hav the same body language. |
