angry with my son,”she wrote in a Facebook post after she got home.“I dont know what to do when others just dont understand that he is not just a kid with no discipline(自制力)，but a child with special

tour of the airplane.That worked,and soon the child was not only calm,but having a good time.“When they came back,Xayvior was much calmer and happier,”wrote Redding in the post，which now has 2,700

had just finished playing stickball,and I was about to go home.“Wait a minute,”Carl yelled.He ran into his house and cameback with a book for me to take home and read.All he said was,“See if you like it.”I said ly nothing.I kept the book for a couple of weeks and then returned it unread.Carl never asked me if I liked it or not.During the following two years Carl lent me three more books.Each time I returned them unread.A few days after graduating from high school,Carl asked,“Benny,which college are you going to?”“Im not going to college.”I said.“Why not?”he asked.“Because my father cant afford the tuition(学费).”I answered.“Is that it?”Carl asked.“Yes,”I said.I lied.I had no intention of going back to school now that I was out.The following day,Carl knocked on my door and handed me a check for seventy-five dollars from his father along with the bookMartin Eden.“I think that should do it.”he said.Once again I was in shock.I was working full-time in my brothers bakery.I attended two classes atWayneUniversitypart-time at night.Halfway through the semester,after receiving failing grades on exams and essays,I decided there was no way I would ever become a good student and get satisfactory grades.I dropped out of college.One day,curious,I picked up the book,thinking Carl was trying to tell me something.Despite difficulty,I pressed on.By the time I finished the book,I understood why:the main character,Martin Eden,had my own poor educational background,but managed to educate himself and become a published author.8.What do we know about the author?A.He often told lies.B.He quit school unwillingly.C.He had thought little of education before.D.He became a published author.9.What kind of person is Carl?A.Caring.B.Emotional.C.Stubborn.D.Cautious.10.What message does Carl want to convey?A.Reading makes a rich man.B.Reading is the journey of the soul.C.Reading makes a person better known.D.Readingopens up new opportunities.11.What is the best title for the text?A.A strong desire for college B.A wish for better education C.A wise friend D.A wise book D Every day,millions of shoppers hit the stores in full force,searching wildly for the perfect gift.Aside from purchasing holiday gifts,most people regularly buy presents for other occasions throughout the year,including weddings,birthdays,anniversaries,and graduations.This frequent experience of gift-giving cancause uncertain feelings in gift-givers.Many enjoy the opportunity to buy presents because gift-giving offers a powerful means to build stronger bonds,while many worry that their purchases will disappoint rather than delight the intended recipients(接受者).Anthropologists describe gift-giving as a positive social process,serving various political,religious,and psychological functions.Economists,however,offer a less favorable view.According to Waldfogel,gift-giving represents an objective wasteof resources.People buy gifts that recipients would not choose to buy on their own,or at least not spend as much money to purchase(a phenomenon referred to asthe deadweight loss of Christmas”).What is surprising is that gift-givers have much experience acting as both gift-givers and gift-recipients,but nevertheless tend to overspend each time they set out to purchase a meaningful gift.In the present research,we propose a unique psychological explanation for this overspending problem gift-givers link how much they spend with how much recipients will appreciate the gift.Though it seems natural to gift-givers,such an assumption may be unfounded.Indeed,we propose that gift-recipients will be less likely to base their feelings of appreciation on the value of a gift than givers assume.Why do gift-givers assume that gift price is closely linked to gift-recipients feelings of appreciation?Perhaps givers believe that more expensive gifts communicate a stronger sense ofthoughtfulness and consideration.According to Camerer and others,gift-giving represents a symbolic ritual(习俗),by which gift-givers attempt to signal their positive attitudes towards the recipient and their willingness to invest resources in a futurerelationship.In this sense,gift-givers may be motivated to spend more money on a gift in order to send a“stronger signal”.As for gift-recipients,they may not interpret smaller and larger gifts as representing smaller and larger signals of thoughtfulness and consideration.The idea of gift-givers and gift-recipients being unable to account for the other partys viewpoint seems confusing because people slip in and out of these roles every day.Yet,despite the experience as both givers and receivers,people often struggle to apply information gained from one role in another.In theoretical terms,people fail to use information about their own preferences and experiences to produce more efficient outcomes in their exchange relations.In practical terms,people spend hundreds of dollars each year on gifts,but somehow never learn to estimate their gift expense according to personal insight.12.The author uses“the deadweight loss of Christmas”in Paragraph 2 to express _.A.gift-givers dont spend much money during holidays B.gift-givers dont ask recipients what gifts they prefer C.gift-givers buy improper and expensive gifts D.gift-givers have difficulty in choosing gifts 13.According to the passage,people buy gifts to _.A.receive gifts in return B.enjoy the feeling of shopping C.help recipients to save money D.better relationships with recipients 14.What can we learn from the passage?A.Peoples high living standards require expensive gifts.B.Gift-givers buy gifts based on their experiences as recipients.C.Anthropologists think gift-giving meets different human needs.D.Recipients judge the depth of friendship according to the gift price.15.Why did the author write this article?A.To criticize peoples gift-buying habits.B.To analyze peoples gift-giving behaviors.C.To offer advice on how to improve relationships.D.To remind people not to overlook others preferences.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Over the years,we are witnessing the rise of
