for you.if you find yourself with something nice but that doesnt fit into your lifestyle, consider regifting it. before you do that, make sure you understand the manners of this practice that is more and more common as people find it difficult to make ends meet to a great extent.there are specific things you should do to an item. failure to do any of them may create an awkward situation. you never have to lie about what you are doing, but you dont want to be in the position of having to explain anything. for example, remove the original wrapping paper and rewrap it in your own; make sure the box is in good condition so the item doesnt appear used; check the item and make sure there are no cards or names on the packaging; inspect the item and make sure it is in excellent condition.when you get ready for regifting, consider having a white elephant gift exchange for your next celebration. this removes all the embarrassment of being caught regifting because thats the whole purpose of the

true. however, it is really true and simple. the sense of humor, laughter and play has an important part in keeping you healthy. use the best medicine to treat the blues with a sense of humor, which is closely tied to laughter. laughter is infectious. have you ever heard a big laugh of a young child and been able to keep yourself from smiling? when laughter is shared between people, it makes them closer to each other and increases their happiness. smiling is the beginning of laughter and a smile is also just as infectious as laughter is. you can experience something by smiling at everyone around you, and you will feel happier just by sharing a smile, even with a stranger. play is an important part of making sure that we stay healthy. we are often encouraged to make sure our children play, and are told of the benefits of being out playing. however, what we often forget is that it is just as important for old people to make play be part of their life as its for children. physical play is important for the old and it certainly helps prevent illness. while the studies are still in the early stages, the studies that have been done have shown that physical play certainly plays a part in preventing cognitive(认知的) falling.anyway, adding humor, laughter, and play to our life will influence us mentally, physically and socially and bring us many advantages. so we should make full use of humor, laughter and play to make our life more active, interesting and happier.8.what does the underlined word infectious in paragraph 2 probably mean?a.playing an important role. b.keeping

body and mind relaxd two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. in fact, according to an official report on youth violence, in our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation, but the terrible reality of violence. given that this is the ease, why arent students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit? first of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. a report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively less important insult (侮辱). for example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. the problem isnt in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict. once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) : stay calm. once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down. rude words, name-calling, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. on the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control. after both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy (策略) for conflict resolution : listening. listening allows the two sides to understand each other. one person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speakers position. then the two people should change roles. finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. tiffs doesnt mean trying to figure out whats wrong with the other person. it means understanding what the real problem is and what both sides are trying to achieve. for example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. students need to ask themselves questions such as these: how did this start? what do i really want? what am i afraid of? as the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. even if it doesnt, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual(共同的) solution. there will always be conflict in schools, but that doesnt mean there needs to be violence. after students in atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to educators for social responsibility, 64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student co-operation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves. learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. in that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.12. from paragraph 2 we can learn thata. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtime b. a small conflict can lead to violencec. students tend to lose their temper easily d. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight13. why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in paragraph 5?a. to find out who is to blame. b. to get ready to try new things.c. to make clear what the real issue is. d. to figure out how to stop the shouting match.14. after the conflict resolution program was started in atlanta, it was found thata. there was a decrease in classroom violence b. there was less student cooperation in the classroomc. more teachers felt better about themselves in schools d. the teacher-student relationship greatly improved15. this article is mainly about_a. the lives of school children b. the cause of arguments in schoolsc. how to analyze youth violence d. how to deal with school conflicts第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。when to say “no” to antibiotics (抗生素)although they know that antibiotics kill only bacteria but not viruses and the obvious risk of antibiotic overuse to personal health, many doctors still use antibiotics when the drugs are not necessary.16_in some serious cases, the patients with them failed to respond to any medical treatment and died within days. therefore, several medical organizations have tried to correct antibiotic misuse by explaining when the drugs are not needed.ear diseasesearaches account for over half of ear related diseases for children. most earaches gradually heal with no antibiotic in days, especially in children two and older.17_in severe cases or when children under two years old experience moderate to severe pain, antibiotics might be required.eye diseasesdoctors often use antibiotic eye drops after treating related diseases. macular degeneration, for example, is an eye disease generally treated with injections or laser operation. but those drops are rarely needed after such procedures and can even damage patients eyes. lung diseases for older patients, particularly those who live in long-term care centers, doctors need to use antibiotics when a routine test finds bacteria in lung.18_throat diseases19_therefore, antibiotics shouldnt be widely used in treatments for such diseases. only less than one third of strep throats are bacterial. if you suspect bacterial throat, get tested to find out for sure.another report, conducted by the u.s. centers for disease control and prevention, also indicates that antibiotic misuse affects at least two million people annually, killing more than 23,000. 20_therefore, health experts urge all doctors in practice to follow the above instructions.a. most throat diseases are caused by viruses.b. just wait two days to see if symptoms disappear.c. but if the result proves normal, the drugs wont help.d. in this case, antibiotics are the most effective for the old.e. most doctors already know it, so they say no to antibiotics.f. under such circumstances, limiting antibiotic misuse is a must.g. this may develop the “superbugs”, which cant be easily controlled.第二部分 英语知识运用 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分) one young person, who was well educated, went for a job as a manager in a big company. the president did the final
