1、Best friend birthday gift ideas
When your best friend's birthday is coming up, you obviously want to get them the coolest, most unforgettable gift that you can find. So, can you find them a gift that is memorable and yet practical enough to be used daily？Here are a few tips on how to find just the right best friend birthday gift.
__25__ The gift you choose should tell a story —even if it is one that only the two of you would know and understand. Best friends have a kind of 6th sense with each other, through which they seem to be able to almost read each other's thoughts. Find a gift that tells that story, in a small way, by relating to things you have done together and the special times you have had.
Think about their interests and hobbies. __26__ What are their hobbies and interests? Do they like sports, puzzles, crime stories, skiing, country music, computers, etc.? Find a gift that reflects their interests.
__27__ You will want to strike the right balance between a gift that is popular but also unique to them. Go online or flip through (翻阅) your newspaper and find 510 bestselling products. __28__
Do not let them think you are being cheap. You will want to find a gift that makes it seem like you spent a lot, even if you didn't. __29__ For example, instead of buying 34 soso gifts, go for one nicer gift that gives the impression of being of high quality.
A. Check out what is hot.
B. Stay within your budget.
C. Focus on what you love to do together.
D. Then, use what you find as ideas for what to buy.
E. One way to do this is to go for quality over quantity.
F. You needn't spend too much to impress your friends.
G. The gift you choose should be something that is close to his or her heart.
2、We've all heard how great shopping on the Internet is and that you can get things far cheaper.How convenient it is —you can shop when you want to.How it's easy to compare prices and how there are no long queues online!
__25__ Do you trust the seller? Do they have a secure server (服务器)? What are their delivery times? Can you contact them if the order goes wrong?
Most shopping sites use some sort of shopping cart into which you can place items you have chosen, and then take them to the checkout when you want to pay. __26__
The following are a few hints about online shopping that we've learned along the way：
●Always print out your order confirmation.
●__27__
●Try and get your goods delivered at a time when you will be there, otherwise your package might get lost!
●Don't get carried away and spend too much!
To enable us to provide some of our services to you, we need to collect some personal information from you —usually your name and email address.You may choose to tell us your preferences and country of origin when visiting our web sites. __28__ The big question for online shoppers is always, “Will our gifts arrive on time？”All of the stores listed on our website have varied delivery timetables for City and Country areas. __29__ For the busiest times of the year: Christmas, Valentines Day, Easter, Mother's Day and Father's Day, online retailers (零售商) will be doing everything they can to get your last minute business and will have posted holiday deadlines with cut off purchase dates to ensure delivery.
A. Are there any hidden dangers or risks?
B. Order more than just one item at a time to save on delivery costs.
C. But before you start shopping there are a number of questions you have to ask yourself.

On good design
That’s been one of my mottos－focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex；You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there，you can move mountains. On his outlook
73 Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful，that’s what matters to me.
On your working life
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life，and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. 74 If you haven’t found it yet，keep looking. Don’t settle.
On the importance of death
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. 75 No one has ever escaped it.

4、71 If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the local manager of the supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. 72 If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them.
If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steel worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market.
73 You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas stations and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labor market.
74 But for each person or business that is making and selling something, it is very concrete(具体的). If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won’t be long before you get the message. 75 It is telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn’t want you to do.

5、New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. 1 And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly increased by foreign language skills.
Deeply involved with this new technology is a kind of modern businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. 2 Overseas assignments (指派) are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive (行政的) ranks. 3 He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company’s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to manage back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more common.
Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices (装置) with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into internation al markets.
4 But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn’t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.
The employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight (洞察力) to know when it is better to move more slowly. 5
A. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign customers over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset (有价值的人或物) to the firm.
B. We are connected by the Internet.
C. More and more people are learning English.
D. It’s now a “global village”where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link.
E. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind”.
F. English is still the international language of business.
G. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts.
6、If you think you’ve gained too much weight or are too skinny, you can talk to a doctor. Your doctor will tell you 1 .
If it is concerned about your height, weight, or BMI (体重指数), your doctor may ask questions 2 . Your doctor may also ask about your family background to find out if you’ve received something from your parents that might make you taller, shorter, or a late bloomer (someone who develops later than other people of the same age). The doctor can then put all the information together to decide 3 .
If your weight isn’t in a healthy range, you will probably get specific diet and exercise recommendations based on your individual needs. Following a doctor’s or dietitian’s plan designed especially for you will work much better than following fad (时尚) diets. For teens, fad diets or starvation plans can actually slow down growth, and the weight loss usually doesn’t last.
What 4 ? Most teens who weigh less than other teens of their age are just fine. They may be going through puberty on a different schedule than kids of the same age, and their bodies may be growing and changing at a different rate. Most underweight teens catch up in weight as they finish puberty during their later teen years so there’s rarely a need to try to gain weight.
In a few cases, teenagers can be underweight because of a health problem that needs treatment. If you feel tired or ill a lot, or 5 , or other problems that have lasted for more than a week or two, be sure to let your parents or your doctor know.
A. whether you might hav e a weight or growth problem
B. if you have symptoms like a cough, stomachache
C. about your health, physical activity, and eating habits
D. if you’re worried about being too skinny
E. if yo u take care of it
F. whether you’re growing normally
G. about your dieting
7、Ways to Save Time
We all wish we had just a bit more time. Just think what you could do with an extra hour or two each day: you could finally stick to an exercise routine, or spring-clean the house, or write your novel, or learn the guitar and so on.
71But I can help you find more hours in your day for the things that really matter.
1. Get Out of Bed Earlier
If you normally get up at 7: 30 a. m. , try getting up at 7: 00 a. m. That half-hour might not sound like much, but it could be time that you use to exercise, to read that book you’ve been meaning to finish. 72
2. Do the Important Tasks First
Once you get to work, get the important ones done first(not the easy ones, or even the urgent ones). You can afford to spend at least an hour working on big, important tasks rather than on all those little urgent ones.
73The urgent tasks will still get done, and you won’t miss the important ones.
3. Reduce Interruptions
If colleagues have a habit of hanging around your desk to chat, or if the phone is constantly ringing, you might find that it takes you half the day to finish a simple task like writing a letter. Constant interruptions don’t just eat up time, they also break your concentration.
When you’ve got a big task to focus on, let your calls go to voicemail. 74Wearing headphones makes it less likely that people will try to strike up a conversation.
4. 75
A few minutes chatting, browsing the web, and so on, can easily turn into hours of wasted time over the course of a day. When you’re working, work. If your concentration is slipping, take a proper break: go and get a glass of water, or stretch your legs a bit. And if you’re facing a difficult task, try breaking it into small steps or stages so that it’s easier to deal with.
A. Stay Focused on Your Work
B. Take Breaks When Necessary
C. If you have an office door, close it.
D. If you work like this, you’ll usually save time.
E. Would you want me to make your day longer?
F. I can’t magically make all your days 25 hours long.
G. Or simply to get your day off to a calm and organized start.

But if we can create pollution, we can reduce it too. The problem is time and money. And time and money happen to be the investment that the creators of the pollution claim to have made to make life better for all, which means they have made a mess, to some or a large extent, in all cases.
The United States suffered from problems similar to what China is facing today. __26__ The US government finally opened its eyes to the problems and told industries to cut down their polluting emissions (排放), for which it implemented strict laws requiring clean air and water.
