A gift card is a card that is issued(发行) by a store.These cards are big money makers for stores.One reason is that when gift-card holders go to the store,they often see other things to buy,and they spend more money than the gift card is worth.Unused cards are another reason.Stores make millions of dollars because large numbers of people never use their cards.They either lose them,forget about them,or decide that it's not worth the effort.

Gift card are becoming very popular in many countries around the world.In the US,they are one of the most popular kinds of gifts.Why?People love the convenience—gift cards are easy to buy and easy to use,either in the store or online.The recipient can choose his or her own gift,and the giver does not have to worry about finding just the right thing. Receiving a gift card,however,is not the same as receiving a gift.A real gift is a better reminder of the person who gave it.The message of a real gift is more likely to be,"I spend some time trying to find the right gift for you because I care about you."Often a gift card does not send the same message as a real gift.It may seem to say,"I was in a hurry.I didn't have time to think about what you would really like."

In today's world,gift cards are certainly convenient.However,they can make us forget the real purpose of giving gifts,which is to build a closer connection between the gift-giver and the gift-recipient.

One morning Fan Xing discovered that her classroom had changed.The 13-year-old saw that the desks were no longer in rows(排),but pushed together to make six bigger desks.

The new arrangement(排列) was part of a reform(改革) at Fan's school,Changsha Daotian Middle School in Hunan.About five weeks ago,more than 2,000 junior students at the school began studying in this way,with six to eight students sitting in groups.

"This reform is designed to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances for discussion,"said Liu Xu,a school head teacher."Our school hopes it can improve students' abilities(能力) for self-study as well as teamwork."

The new arrangement took some time for students to get used to."I was too curious(好奇) about it for the first two days,"said Fan.But soon she and her classmates got used to it."Now our class is quieter because we can stop loud students with some simple gestures(手势),"said Fan."What's more,we can express our own ideas and learn others' through discussion.It's a better way to study."

Feng Yu likes this new classroom arrangement very much and has made some progress studying.The 14-year-old said,"Group members first discuss,and then explain the solutions or answers to difficult questions in front of the whole class."

"The discussion gives us more confidence to make speeches,"said Feng."We can also improve our friendships."

The reform has asked for more from teachers.They have no more than 15 minutes to teach in class."It is a big challenge to teach in such short time the lessons which should be taught in 45 minutes,"English teacher Wang Jing said."We have to improve methods to teach better.We must prepare some interesting topics and exercises before class so that students can discuss them."
