health journal b. in a book review c. in a tourist guide d. in a science journal bonce when i was six years old i saw an amazing picture in a book called true stories from naturc about the primeval forest. it was a picture of a boa constriotor（大蟒蛇）in the act of swallowing an arimal. in the book it said: boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing it. after that they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion.i thought deeply then over the adventures of the jungle. and after some work with a colored pencil i succeeded in making my first drawing. my drawing number one. i showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. but they answered: frighten? why should any one be frightened by a hat?my drawing was not a picture of a hat. it was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. but since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, i made another drawing: i drew the inside of a boa constrictor, so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. they always need to have things explained. thats my drawing number two.the grown-ups response, this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of boa constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic, and grammar. that is why, at the age of six, i gave up what might have been a great painter. i had been disheartened by the failure of my drawing number one and my drawing number two. grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.so then i chose another profession, and learned to pilot airplanes. i have flown a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very useful to me. at a glance i can distinguish china from arizona. if one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable.in the course of this life i have had a great many encounters with a great many people. and that hasnt much improved my opinion of them. whenever i met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted, i tried showing him my drawing number one, which i have always kept. i would try to find out if this was a person of true understanding. but, whoever it was, he, or she would always say: that is a hat. then i would never talk to that person about boa constrictors, or primeval forests, or stars. i would bring myself down to his level. i would talk to him about bridge, and golf, and politics and neckties. and the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such an intelligent man.59the writer drew his first picture in order to .ashow the grown-ups what the book was aboutbfrighten the grown-ups trying to enter the forestcremind

with careat this busiest gift-giving time of the year, many of us wonder what to do with the unwanted presents we get. is it all right to re-gift-to give the unwanted present to someone else?a gift is a symbol of what a relationship means to us. the best gifts meet the needs or satisfy the desires of the receiver. a gift should be about pleasing the other person, not showing off the taste, wealth or power of the giver. we should give with the other person, not ourselves in mind.still, a friend, colleague or family member who knows us well might now and then buy us something that is the last thing wed buy for ourselves. people in long-term relationships can be surprised at the choices in clothes, music or gadgets(小玩意) made by their friends or relatives.re-gifting creates a dilemma because we dont want to hurt the feelings of the gift-giver, but we also feel its wasteful not to use something that might benefit someone else.re-gifting avoids waste and repays a debt of gratitude we owe to someone else, but it presents the risk that the original giver will be hurt if she or he discovers what we did.following are a few guidelines for re-gifting:-dont use the gift.-re-gift soon, so you dont risk re-gifting to the original giver.-make sure that the new receiver doesnt know the original giver or is unlikely to run intohim or her.if theres a possibility that the original giver could learn about the re-gift or if he or she expects to see you wearing the gift, consider asking for permission. let him or her know how much you appreciate the thought behind the gift. a person who understands that a gift is intended to be pleasing will understand. as long as the person who gave the unwelcome gift doesnt mind or wont find out, you can re-gift with a clear conscience. besides, you can be sure that at least one of the gifts youve received was given originally to someone else.63. according to the author, the gift that you want to buy for your friend had better be the one _.a. that can benefit someone else b. that you want to buy for yourselfc. that is a necessity for your friend d. that will surprise your friend64. in the third paragraph, the author wants to tell readers that _.a. people sometimes get the gifts that they dont really likeb. our friends usually choose the best gifts for usc. we should not buy clothes, mus
