However, its not likely that anyone needs another tie, decorative box or holiday sweater. Here are some easy ways to give gifts that are interesting, low-cost and most of all, enjoyable. 12 . This is an inexpensive way to give a holiday gift. It will not only add a bit of green for indoor atmosphere, but also clean the air. Find any container that can hold soil and simply buy some seeds and plant them. If so, you give a gift of life to come. Clean someones home. Its best if you would do this before or right after the actual holiday, because thats when most people need a hand to keep their places clean and tidy.13 . Imagine when they get home to see a clean house and a piece of paper that says, “Happy holidays! My present to you this year is a clean and comfortable home.”Make a weeks worth of dinners. Most people dont like to cook, but they want to eat healthfully. And even for those who like to cook, by the end of a long workday, they dont feel like cooking.14 . So making a weeks worth of dinnerthick hearty soups, and maybe a frozen entree（主菜）or twocan mean the difference between a good meal and another night of popcorn and wine. And what a gift it is for a busy person! Buy a pre-paid gas card. If they drive a car, theyre going to need gas.15 . Instead of giving a gift card to a store, give a gas card, which frees that person up to pay off bills, or buy something else with the money theyre not spending on gas. AGive plants. BIt feels good to give. CCreate a gift for your friends. DYou could give them the gift as a surprise. ENobody enjoys spending money on that. FBeing tired and hungry while cooking is a hard job. GThoughtful gifts can be experiences, time and a special after-holiday treat.三、完型填空A farmer had some little dogs, he wanted to sell them. He painted a sign advertising about that.

But as it turns out，its not just a funny phrase but scientifically true！Scientists have found this feeling of anger usually comes from having low glucose（葡萄糖）levels in the bloodstream. Glucose is put into the body after you have a meal. The brain needs this to work well. When the glucose in your body is low，your brain sends hormones（激素）to increase the amount of that. This makes it hard for you to control your feelings. Your brain even starts to feel like you are dealing with a life-threatening situation if you dont get enough glucose. In the situation，your brain feels like your life is in danger. Another problem is that your brain will also use neuropeptide（神经肽）to send a message saying you should eat something. And this is the same chemical that manages anger. The scientists say we may also thank our forefathers for our hunger. Thats because long ago when there was not much food，people had to eat as much as they could to get enough food to live. Even now，when most people have enough food to eat，there is still that feeling toward needing food.31 . When does the feeling of anger come out？AWhen the glucose level in your bloodstream is high.BWhen the glucose level in your bloodstream is low.CWhen there are many hormones in your brain.DWhen there are few hormones in your brain.32 . What is neuropeptide according to the passage？AA kind of medicine.BA bone.CA kind of chemical.DAn organ.33 . What does the underlined word “life-threatening” mean？A放弃生命的B挽救生命的C保护生命的D威胁生命的34 . What is this passage probably taken from？AA science magazine.BA diet report.CA travel book.DA sports magazine.Once upon a time, a proud swallow lived in a large tree.

All his feathers are black.” He looked at himself lovingly and enjoyed his own feathers. Just then, the crow flew and sat on the same branch(树枝) as the swallow. The swallow said, “All your feathers are black and your tail is so short.” The crow smiled and said, “But they help me fly.” The swallow said, “So do mine. But look at how beautiful they are!” He spread his wings and flew a little closer to the crow. The crow saw that the swallow had lots of blue feathers and some white and pink ones, too. He looked at his own feathers and thought, “Its true. The swallows feathers are much prettier than mine.”The crow said, “Swallow, youre right. You have lovely feathers and a long tail, but only in summer. Your little feathers cannot keep you warm in winter at all. While you shiver in the cold, my thick feathers keep me warm in the cold winters.”35 .
