That is why so many Americans do not throw things away. They put them outside their houses. They put up a “For Sale” sign. And, as simple as that, they have a yard sale. The sellers put a paid announcement(付费通告) in a local newspaper. It tells when and where the yard sale will take place. These sales are very popular during weekends in spring, summer, and autumn. Early in the morning, all the things to be sold are carried out of the house. Then they sit all day in the sunlightlike tired guests at a partywaiting for someone to take them home. Just about anything can be sold at a yard sale. Sometimes, there are more clothes than anything else. Cooking equipment is also popular. So are old toys, tools, books, tables and chairs. Then there are objects called “white elephants”. A white elephant is something you think is extremely ugly or useless. It may be an electric light shaped like a fish. You feel a sharp pain whenever you look at it. To someone else, however, it might be a thing of beauty and joy. Some people go to yard sales to look for a special thing that they collect. It may be old toy trains, for example, or paintings of dogs. Experts say more Americans are collecting old things now than ever before. Most people who go to yard sales, however, are not looking for anything special. They might buy an object simply because it costs so little. They enjoy negotiating(谈判) over prices, even if they really do not need the object. Later, they may hold their own yard sale to sell all the things they have bought.26. What kind of things will go to a yard sale? A. Cheap and ugly things. B. Things people no longer use. C. Things out of season. D. Things of great value.27. A white elephant refers to _.

I stared at the envelope for minutes. Sure enough, the same name appeared above both the receivers address and the return address: Dorothy Bowling. The letter had come from North Carolina.Was someone pulling my leg? I tore the envelope open and found a three-page letter. “You might think it strange that Im writing to you,” the letter said. “My name is Dorothy Bowling. I recently received an insurance(保险) statement that wasnt mine. I called the company about the error. It turns out they made the error because a customer in Middletown, Ohio, has the same name as I do, and the same birthdayNovember 30, 1930. What a coincidence! I just had to tell you about it, so I got your address from the Internet.”Dorothy had three sons, and had spent over 30 years working for a large insurance firm. At the end of the letter, she invited me to write back to her if I was interested. How could I resist?“Dear Dorothy,” I wrote. “Its so nice to meet you!” I told her I was a mother of two children, and had been working as a tour guide for a travel agency. I added my phone number at the bottom of the letter in case she wanted to give me a call.About a week later, the phone rang. “Dorothy?” asked an excited voice on the other end of the line. “Its Dorothy from North Carolina!

I stopped at a gas station(加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.I took off , but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friends.

They wound accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks.

People that cannot use everything are not necessarily hard to please. Everyone has different likes, dislikes and needs. When the items cannot be returned, many sit in the back of a drawer collecting dust. It is not necessary to throw them away because they came from a thoughtful relative or friend. Try these practical ways of using unwanted presents, and put them to good use instead of allowing them to go to waste.Some people would not think of regifting something that could not be returned. In fact, it is okay to give others gifts that you cannot use. However, it is easy to forget where they came from, and it would be wrong to regift an item to the person that gave it to you.If regifting is not your style, do something to benefit those in need. Instead of letting old gifts collect dust, donate them to a homeless shelter. Someone will be able to use the gifts, and they will be grateful to have them. Many people would rather give than receive, and your old items could bring joy to a lot of people.Before giving up old gifts that could not be returned, reconsider their purpose. Something that could not be used in the past might be useful at present. Look at something old in a whole new light. Can they be repurposed to meet your needs or suit your personal style? Do you have so much that you cannot find a use for gifts from friends and relatives? Even clothing that does not fit or cannot be used can be repurposed in exciting new ways. Everything can be used, even if it is not something that you would have personally chosen.41. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. Its better to give them than to receive. B.
