Many people feel stressed out about buying and giving gifts around holidays. But have the holidays become too materialistic and more about the gifts than the feelings behind them?

Throughout the world, many cultures mark holidays with gifts and food. Holiday traditions bring people together and allow us to feel a part of family and community. The gifts and food that we share are all about expressing a sense of appreciation and joy. The gifts of a few generations ago were probably more common and homemade. Even the people who could afford expensive presents probably didn’t do as much buying and spending as we do today.

But with our culture growing more commercial, sometimes the original meaning behind the tradition gets lost. Not only is the pressure on spending money on the right present, but many people also find that when gifts become the focus of a holiday, it puts too much emphasis on receiving. It’s too easy to have high expectations of what’s in that beautifully wrapped box —and that can set anyone up for disappointment. No wonder we often hear about people having the “holiday blues” —feeling sad or empty.

Not all people think the holidays are too materialistic, of course. Most appreciate the traditional aspects of the holidays. And some love shopping and are just fine with all the giving and receiving. But if you’re feeling a little empty about the holidays, what can you do? One key to a relaxing and meaningful holiday is finding what works best for you, both in terms of gift giving and other holiday traditions. Putting some thought into what the holidays mean to you and then focusing your energies on those aspects that leave you feeling most satisfied can help you let go of the stuff that may be stressing you out.

24. What can we learn about the holiday gifts generations ago?

A. They were valueless.

B. They were highly valued.

C. They were given little attention.

D. They were more about expressing feelings.

25. What is the result of focusing too much on receiving?

A. Receivers are often disappointed.

B. Gifts become the focus of holidays.

C. Our culture grows more commercial.

D. Much more money was spent on gifts.

26. According to the text, how can we make holidays more meaningful?

A. Avoiding giving and receiving gifts.

B. Figuring out your real expectations.

C. Doing some shopping in the holidays.

D. Putting more thought into the gifts to give.

27. What can be the best title for the text?

A. The Changes in Giving Gifts

B. What Stresses You out on Holidays?

C. Are the Holidays Too Materialistic?

D. The Development of Holiday Traditions

C

For those concerned about wrinkly old skin, it might be a creative solution: an elastic (有弹性的) “second skin” that can be smoothed on to make aged tissue look more youthful.

The “wearable skin”, developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has shown promise in a series of small experiments where it was applied to wrikles, under-eye bags and areas of dry skin. When applied to the face or body, the thin, transparent layer sticks to the skin and supports the tissue, making it look and behave like younger skin, its producers claim.

“What we’ve been able to do is create a cream that you can p ut on the skin, and then when it’s on the skin it can actually form, essentially, an elastic second skin,” said Bob Langer, who led the research. Tests in the lab found that the transparent layer, which is only 70 thousandths of a millimetre thick, reduced the appearance of wrinkles and under-eye bags, and helped keep moisture in areas of dry skin.

The layer is designed to be applied in the morning, then peeled off at night. In previous studies, the second skin withstood normal daily wear, and the stresses and strains of exercise and swimming, without falling off or causing discomfort. It also survived exposure to rain.

“It’s something you can wear for a whole day or longer, depending on the physical forces that get applied to the area where it is worn,” sai d Daniel Anderson, who helped develop the product at MIT. “You can’t tell whether people are wearing it or not.”

While normal cosmetics (化妆品) can mask imperfections on the skin, the new coating changes the way skin behaves by giving it the elasticity of young skin. It was developed with the help from two companies.

28. According to the text, the “second skin” ________.

A. was developed by two companies

B. has not been tested by scientists

C. is developed to remove under-eye bags

D. is a transparent covering for the skin

29. Compared with normal cosmetics, the new product ________.

A. can make the skin appear younger

B. works by masking imperfections on the skin

C. doesn’t cause any problems in the skin

D. must be used in a more complicated way

30. What can we learn from Daniel’s words?

A. You can recognize it if people wear the “second skin”.

B. The “second skin” should be peeled off the next day.

C. How long people can wear the layer varies.

D. The product can provide skin with a lot of water.

31. What is the main idea of the text?

A. MIT is playing a leading part in cosmetics.

B. The “second skin” helps renew one’s youth.

C. Masks will soon become a thing of the past.

D. How the “second skin” is used to i mprove skin.

D

Selfies (自拍) are generally seen as harmless fun. In general, the worst thing that happens while a selfie is taken is that someone in the photo blinks (眨眼) at the wrong time. However, parents need to be aware that sometimes selfies cause problems, or even death. Selfies have become a way that head lice (头虱) are spread. All it takes is for one person in the selfie to be unaware that they have head lice. Head-to-head touch, even for a small amount of time, is enough for head lice to spread from one person to another.

The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) estimates (估计) that 6 million ot 12 millioon head lice infestations (大量滋生) occur each year in the United States among children 3 to 11 years of age. The British Association of Dermatologists did a study involving 202 children. 104 of them (51.4%) owned a smartphone or tablet; 82 (40.5%) were using other tools for selfies. Of the 98 kids who did not own or use a tablet or smartphone, 29 (29.5%) caught head lice, compared to 65 of the 104 (62.5%) of kids who did own or use a smartphone or tablet.

Parents also need to be aware that selfies can result in severe injury and even be lethal. A study in the Juornal of Family Medicine and Primary Care found that from October 2011 to November 2017, there had been 259 deaths while taking selfies in 137 incidents. The mean age of the selfie taker was 22.94 years.

About 72% of the total deaths occurred in males and 25.5% in females. The topmost reasons for death were drowning, transport accidents, and falls. The number of deaths in females was less due to less risky behavior compared to non-risky behavior.

Parents should have a conversation with their child, teen, or college student about selfies. Help them understand that they should not risk their lives in an effort to take an exciting selfie photo.

32. According to Paragraph 1, what should parents become aware of?

A. Harmful fun in our daily life.

B. Problems caused by taking selfies.

C. The negative effect head lice bring.

D. Good approaches to making selfies great.

33. Why does the author mention the study involving 202 kids?

A. To explain how head lice are spread.

B. To show the harm of owning a smartphone.

C. To prove head lice are difficult to be avoided.

D. To show taking selfies helps head lice spread.

34. What does the underlined word “lethal” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Awkward.

B. Deadly.

C. Preventable.

D. Appealing.

35. What do the figures given in Paragraph 4 show?

A. Males tend to take riskier selfies than females.

B. Females take selfies more frequently than males.

C. Today’s young people really love taking adventures.

D. Falls are the biggest cause of death related to selfies.

In order to develop friendship between Chinese students and foreign students, our school organized a ping-pong competition. About thirty student competitors took part in it.

Yesterday, at 9 am, a short opening ceremony began in the gym with an inspiring speech given by the headmaster of our school. Hundreds of students and teachers watched the matches. The matches were so exciting that often the audience’s applause was deafening. Finally, an American student named Henry came first.

All the students played fair while trying their best to defeat their competitors. Meanwhile, the winner proved that once we set a goal and keep working towards it, we will succeed in the end.
