It was a normal school day for senior Solymar Solis until an unexpected visitor arrived. Her dad, Sgt. Carlos Solis Melendez,
surprised her by coming home early from Kuwait and visiting her unannounced at Spring Valley High School in South Carolina. After serving in Kuwait for nine months, Melendez returned home a week earlier than his daughter expected. He held balloons and flowers in a classroom as he sat at a student‟s desk to blend in with the crowd. “It came across my mind like, …How is she going to react?‟〞he recalled the heartwarming moment. “Is she going to be happy and run to me and hug me, or cry? That was all going on through my mind.〞 As unsuspecting Solymar entered the classroom, she was soon overcome with emotion, immediately bursting into tears and covering her mouth. She didn‟t talk. She was just crying. She was overwhelmed with everything. She thought it was a dream. Melendez was a single parent so while he was deployed〔调动(diàodòng)〕, he got his sister to live with his daughter. When he was coming back and talking to his sister, both of them came to the conclusion that they should do something special for his daughter. Melendez and his sister got in touch with the school, and they planned this whole being-in-the-classroom thing, and it turned out perfect. The two are very much looking forward to some good daddy-daughter time now that he‟s home. “It means everything,〞 Melendez said of being able to surprise his daughter this way. “After all the sacrifices she‟s made, she deserves all the
special arrangements and special occasions and celebrations. I‟ll do anything for my daughter. I believe I‟m doing good parenting.〞

Have you ever been given something you don‟t like or doesn‟t fit, but you don‟t want to hurt the feelings of the person who thinks about you? You‟re not alone. Everyone has received an unwanted gift at least once in his or her life. That doesn‟t mean the item is bad or useless. It simply means that it doesn‟t work for you. If you find
yourself with something nice but that doesn‟t fit into your lifestyle, consider regifting it. Before you do that, make sure you understand that regifting is becoming more and more common because people find
it difficult to make ends meet. 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 don‟t 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 doesn‟t 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 that‟s the whole purpose of the event. In order to prevent hurting feelings, provide everyone with a guest list and ask them not to
bring anything given by the people on that list.
28.Why does the author begin the passage with a question?
A.To share a hot phenomenon.
B. To introduce the following part.
C.
To ask for readers‟ answers. D. To point out a common opinion.
29.What most contributes to the growing regifting?
A.People‟s lack of money.
B. People‟s dislike of the gifts.
C. People‟s reduced desire for gifts.
D. People‟s understanding of its manners.
30.What‟s mainly talked about in Paragraph 3? A. What to do before regifting. B. How to make use of unwanted gifts. C. What kind of
gifts to be regifted. D. Why regifting can cause embarrassment.
31.What does the underlined phrase in the last paragraph mean?
A.Suitable but valueless.
B. Expensive and useful.
C. Packaged and invaluable.
D. Nice but unsuitable.

Sometimes,you just can't help it. Maybe you're watching a sad movie, or thinking about the friend who moved away. Next thing you know, you feel pressure in your throat, your eyes are watering, and you have tears running down your cheeks. Why do people cry when they are emotional? What are tears? Scientists are working hard to find the answers to these questions. Ad Vingerhoets is a professor of psychology at Tilburg University,in the Netherlands. He is one of the few scientists in the world who have studied crying. According to Vingerhoets,there are three types of tears. Basal〔根底的〕tears are the first type. They act as a protective barrier between the eye and the rest of the world. Next are reflex〔反射作用(zuòyòng)的〕tears. They wash your eyes clean when something gets in them.
Finally, there are emotional tears. "These are released in response to emotional states," explains Vingerhoets, "Especially when we feel helplessness." Scientists believe that crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other. "Humans are very complex social creatures, "says Lauren Bylsma, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania. "It seems that tears serve to draw help and support from others." She says another reason we weep is that humans have the longest developmental period of almost any animal. It takes a long time to grow up. Vingerhoets agrees. "I think that the reason why humans cry emotional tears has to do with our prolonged 〔延长的〕childhood," he says. "That's the time when we are still dependent on adults for love and protection and care. The major advantage of emotional tears is that you can target them at a specific person." Vingerhoets says this ability to target someone could have come in handy in prehistoric times, when humans were living among dangerous animals. Loud crying could attract predators〔捕食者〕. Tears were a safer way to get attention." In this case, it is better to use a silent signal to ask for help," he says. Vingerhoets and Bylsma do frequent studies to better understand why humans cry. According to Byhma, there is still much more to discover. "It's surprising," she says, "how much we still don‟t know.〞
32.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Weeping tears.
B.Missing a friend.
C.Watching movies.
D.Escaping pressure. 33.What is the function of basal tears? A.To clean the eye.
B.To draw support.
C.To show sadness.
D.To protect the eye.
34.What are humans‟ emotional tears related to according to Vingerhoets? A.Humans' rapid growth. B.Humans' long childhood.
C.Humans' developed mind.
D.Humans' close relationship.
35.In prehistoric times,humans were more likely to . A.cry alone
B.cry loudly
C.cry silently
D.cry together

It‟s nice being nice to others; it‟s also great to give people a hand. However, if you start to hurt yourself by doing so, then this is not so healthy. 36 If you fear that you might fall into this category, the following tips will help you to stand up for yourself and regain your self-confidence. 37 Although you may often stay silent if something is wrong or bothers you, it is better to speak your mind right away. You don‟t have to be rude, but you do have to be firm and direct. Don‟t do things for others if you don‟t really want to. Speak up, and soon others will be seeing you in a whole new light. Start small. 38 This will allow you to practice being brave and self-confident. Tell a person who has cut in line in front of you
to move to the back of the line, or tell a salesperson to do that. Before long, you will be confident enough to stand up to your friends and family member. Judge well. When dealing with others, you have to exercise good judgment. 39 If a colleague isn‟t doing his part, you should rightfully demand that he start doing so. However, if a taxi cuts you off in traffic, just let it go. 40 Rome wasn‟t built in a day. If you want to get back again after having been a pushover〔耳软心活
的人〕, it‟s best to take one step at a time.
A.Express yourself.
B. Regain your confidence.
C. Start by speaking up for yourself with strangers.
D. Everyone has the right to live without being judged.
E. If you slip back into the pushover mode sometimes, don‟t blame yourself.
F. Sadly, some people are so easily pushed around that they are seen as pushovers.
G. It‟s one thing to
be confident, but quite another to forcefully say no to an unreasonable request.
