         Giving an unwanted gift you received to someone else (regifting) is not considered as unacceptable
    as in the past. Many Americans begin to regift and they think that regifting is okay most of the time. But
    what should you avoid when regifting?
         First of all, a gift card hidden in a gift box can easily get passed along in error. Therefore, take the
    card out of the old packaging, buy a new one and take a little extra time to make the packaging look
    fresh and attractive.
         Secondly, people like to believe the gifts they receive are chosen with thought and consideration. If
    you tell someone that the necklace you are giving is the one your aunt gave you last year, what you are
    really saying is that you are giving them something you think is ugly or useless.
         Thirdly, there is a big difference between regifting an unused gift and one that you have used just for
    a short time and decided you no longer want. Remember, a regift is a new thing. A hand-me-down is an
    item you've used and offer to someone else when you decide you no longer use it.
         Most importantly, avoid giving a regift to friends who originally gave the gift to you. If the regift is
    given, you risk getting caught for giving it away to the person who gave it to you.
         In a word, regifting is a wonderful way to save money and when it is done with thought, we can
    achieve the goal of why we are giving a gift to someone in the first place - because we want them to have
    something they will enjoy.

    1. You are advised to give a new packaging to a gift mainly because       .
    A. Americans like something new and attractive
    B. it shows that the card has never been used
    C. you can avoid giving the gift receiver wrong things.
    D. it shows that the gift is chosen with thought

    2. The worst thing happens when you       .
    A. regift a hand-me-down item        
    B. regift what you don't like
    C. regift something wrapped in the original packaging
    D. regift to the person who gave it to you

    3. The main purpose of the writer is to tell us       .
    A. it's common to regift in America
    B. the things we should avoid when regifting
    C. regifting can cause mistakes  
    D. what are the proper things to regift

    4. We can conclude from the text that the key to regifting is to       .
    A. do it with thought
    B. pay attention to what you say
    C. save as much money as possible    
    D. make the regift look new and attractive

  • 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念:

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作,生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时,最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容,时间和地点。


日常生活类阅读题答题技巧:

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小,追根溯源,探索各项风俗的历史渊源,内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主,如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松,试题做起来比较顺手,但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神,就会丢分。   
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率,建议同学们做好以下几点:   
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现,越是容易的试题,同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢?因为在这种情况下,同学们极易产生麻痹思想,认为题目好做,就不引起高度重视,于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点,设计陷阱题。所以,无论试题难易与否,我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易,不欣喜;试题难,不悲观。   
2、根据前面讲到的方法,认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。   
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义,确定多义词或短语在文中的意思,确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象,或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子,切不可望文生义。   
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接,只要弄清事实,即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
