Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood. I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.66. The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was_______.A. doing shoppingB. having a debateC. reading a messageD. leaving for Wyoming67. The reason why the author loves writing may be that ________.A. his teacher encouraged himB. his mother told him storiesC. his dad recited words to himD. he had a gift of it68.

The author made the gift by_______.A. searching for the poems onlineB. drawing the background by handC. painting the letters in three colorsD. matching the words with pictures70. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To show how to design images for gifts.B. To suggest making gifts from one's heart.C. To explain how computers help create gifts.D. To describe the gifts the author has receivedCFood sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. A person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning. Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly. The symptoms（症状）of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common symptoms.Certain microorganisms (微生物) cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the body, these tiny living things release (释放) poisons that make people sick.Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning. They are often added to food while it is being grown, processed, or prepared. For example, many farmers spray（喷洒）chemicals on crops to kill weeds and insects. Some people may have a bad reaction（反应）to those chemicals when they eat the crops.Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people. These include certain kinds of seafood, grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms.When people deal with food in a correct way, the risk of food poisoning is very small. Microorganisms multiply rapidly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. This means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food in unwashed containers. Some food should be kept in a refrigerator to stop microorganisms from growing. Meat needs to be cooked completely to kill any dangerous microorganisms. People should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. Finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. Some of these foods may contain natural materials that are poisonous to humans. Besides, some types of fish can be poisonous.Most people feel well after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. If people eat natural poisons, they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.71. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Food when poisoned can make people sick.B. Food poisoning usually means death.C. Food poisoning comes in different kinds.D. Food poisoning can be serious.72. We know from the passage that the symptoms of food poisoning ________.A. usually come with a feverB. are too common to be noticedC. can't be noticed within hoursD. can be taken no notice of73. Food poisoning can be caused by all the following EXCEPT_________.A. some chemicalsB. low temperaturesC. some tiny living thingsD. certain natural materials74. From Paragraph 5, we can learn that if we want to avoid food poisoning, ________.A. we should keep away from mushroomsB. we should only eat food kept in a refrigeratorC. we should wash hands carefully before mealsD. we should grow food in a great environment75. It can be inferred from the passage that________.A. natural materials are safe in food processingB. chemicals are needed in food processingC. food poisoning can be kept under controlD. food poisoning seldom happens in our lifeDIt is natural for young people to be critical(批评的) of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they do not trust their children to deal with difficult situations; that they talk too much about certain problems and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.I think it is true that parents often underestimate(低估)their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when they were young.Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyle, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They felt cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if turns out that their music, entertainers, vocabulary, clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least ina small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own group. But in that case, you are assuming(假定) that you are an underdog; you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’ control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative(进取心) so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.76. The author seems to be giving a speech to________.A. parents of teenagersB. newspaper readersC. teenagersD. teachers77. The first paragraph is mainly about________.A. the teenagers' criticism of their parentsB. misunderstandings between teenagers and their parentsC. parents’ control over their childrenD. the teenagers' ability to deal with crisis78.
