It was simply son of a hello gift. That is how we do things in my family. We dont really give gifts for special occasions. Instead, we occasionally just give presents to eachother people that we are thinking about them.That was why I wanted a gift for Grandma. But it was like my imaginationhad dried up. I have gone through all of the gift ideas in previous years, fruits, wines, cheeses, little handmade ends, and anything else that you can give to a grandmother had even given her gift watches, and CDs. What else was there?I have always found gift ideas for men a little bit easier than for women，because for men，you can always get the usual things, such as video games, power tools and things like that.With a womans gift idea, however, you have to know more about her. You cannot justget someone a book or a CD. You have to know all about her taste in movies, music, and literature.My grandmother likes to read a lot, but what she likes is always pretty popular, I didnt want to get her a book that she might not like，but I was running out of time. I needed a idea for this weekend and went to visit her. After all, I hadnt seen her for along time. I wanted to give her a gift so she would not feel ignored.Finally，I came up with the perfect gift idea. I made a collection of all the stories I had written in the past year. It wasnt a typical gift idea like a bunch of flowers, but if really worked in the situation. You see, I am a writer and my grandma has always been my fan. Anyway, I had been learning about book binding recently, andhad pretty much mastered the art, I figured that I would add a little bit of handmade artwork to the stories, bind it altogether, and give it to her. It took hours to complete, but it was well worth the effort. She absolutely loved it.59. The writer chose a gift for Grandma to_.A.celebrate a special family occasionB.please her during a weekend visitC.congratulate her on her birthdayD.beg her pardon for ignoring her60. What gift did the writer finally decide to give his grandma?A. Gift watches.B. A bunch of flowers.C. Artwork made by hand,D. Stories written by himself.61. How does the writer fed about giving gifts to women?A. Interesting. B. Challenging. C. Time-wasting. D. Popular.62. We can learn from the passage that.A.the writer is a successful novelistB.most people are particular about giftsC. the writers grandma has a good taste in artD. the writers family will give gifts on regular daysCDogs already guide blind and disabled people and now they are to be (rained to help people with dementia. The idea developed by some university students will new be put into practice by Scotland Medical Center. The research is meaningful, for there are 870, 000 people in Britain who have dementia and by 2021 this is expected to rise to one million.Dementia can make people confuse night and day or forget basic things such as washing or drinking enough water. The dogs would be trained to help to guide them through the day. Joyce Gray from Scotland Medical Center said.44 People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help them to maintain routine.” For example, people with memory loss will tend to forget to take medicine, “but if a dog presents them with a bag with pills in it, theres a greater chance of them taking it. n Ms. Gray also said dogs were perfectly suited to remind their owners to eat. “Dogs have an ability to say “its my feeding time”，so there would be a note in the cupboard next to the dogs food reminding the dogs owner to eat too.The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks. “It a reason for the owner to go out into the community,”Ms. Gray said，“We did a test with an elderly person walking down the high street on his own. Then we gave him a dog on a Lead and he did the exact same walk. That time people would come up to him, chatting or smiling and making eye contact. We hope wed see this with people* with dementia too. ”There is one more advantage of using the pets as companions. Since convert lion can be increasingly confusing for people with dementia, dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. Ms. Gray said：we have found that people may forget familiar faces but not pets. People light up when they see animals. There is a speechless bond between the clog and its owner.63.Whats the common symptom of dementia?A. Going hungry. B. Feeling lonely.A. Forgetting things D. Waking up at night.64. According to Ms. Gray after feeding the pet, the owner may_ .A. do some washing B. take his medicineA.have something to eat D.go out to walk the dog65. For people with dementia, pets can_.A.give them wordless helpB.contribute to their recoveryC.help them to recognize peoples facesD.ensure them to gain support from other people66.Whats the best title for the passage?A.Guide Dogs for the MindB. Pets, Faithful CompanionsC.Mental Support for the DisabledD. Dementia, a Curable DiseaseDInteractive Home security SystemsTarik Celebi who lives in San Francisco suburb, takes his home-security system with him to work to dinner, just about anywhere. By his cell phone, he arms”his home-securityalarm from his car before he leaves for work. During his workday, he gets e-mail alerts every time his front door opens, even though hes miles away. If the door opens at an unusual time-say midday when no one should be coming or going he can order a 30-second video clip (片段）from the camera that watches the door. If its just his mother-in-law getting a package delivery, no worries.Celebi is one of the first users of the latest interactive home-security systems. In addition to sounding alarms when the house is broken into and notifying homeowners or police, as traditional systems do. The interactive systems give users new ways to remotely control their systems and their home environment. Different from traditional home-security alarms, which homeowners typically have to press buttons on a keypad to turn on before they leave their homes, the interactive systems enable consumers to arm and disarm systems from smart phones, iPads and PCs，no matter where they ore.Most traditional systems are set up to sound an alarm if doors or windows are opened. The interactive systems give homeowners more options. For example, users can elect, when they want to be notified. They might want an e-mail or a text every time a door is opened, or only during the hours of 3 to 4 p. m. when kids come home from school. Like Celebi，they can add cameras and get video clips when doors open. That could be helpful in making sure kids arent bringing friends home when theyre not supposed to.Nationwide about 20% of homes have traditional home-security systems. About half stop using them because they tire of the trouble. Being able to arm systems even while dashing to the subway or while at work will increase their usage of the new interactive systems. Although the new functions add costs to home security, the interactive systems art believed to push home-security systems usage rates closer to 30%, which would be a big movement for an industry thats been largely stuck at 20% for the past decade. “We all know its going to get bigger though we dont know how long its going to take,” Eric Taylor, an officer from San Francisco Security Department says.67. What may Ceiebi first do if his front door opens at a wrong time when he is away?A. Inform the police. B. Call his mother-in-law.C. Arm the security alarm. D. Observe through video.68. The interactive systems enable the user to_A.improve his home environment remotelyB.lock his houses door while he is miles awayC.operate the home-security systems at any placeD.sound the alarm and inform the police at the same time69. Whats the advantage of the interactive systems over_A. They are cheaper. B. They are easier to set up.C.They can give quicker reaction. D. They have more ways to inform the users.70.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.The importance of -security industry.B.The functions of the interactive alarms.C.The popularity of home-security systems.D.The market potential of the interactive systems.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共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。Brain DrainImagine you are sitting in your living room and out of surprise you get a call from a friend.
