26、Trying to find the perfect present is about as easy as trying to read someone's mind. Few people will actually tell you what they want for a special occasion and most of the time your loved ones will insist that they don’t need or want anything! So, what to do? Here are some tips that could help.

Start Early

Starting your shopping early can have many advantages. For example, it gives you enough time to come up with ideas for what you should buy your friends or family members. Moreover, the closer it gets to holidays, the higher the prices go up. So, save your money by being an early bird.

Make a List

Here, you can write down everything your friends or family members love. This can include food, hobbies, experiences, and more. I hen try to determine how to use this information to find a gift that perfectly suits them. If you are lucky, you should be able to find good ideas in one of these lists.

Think outside the Box

Often, the reason why you get stuck(卡住) for gift ideas is that you only focus on the same kind of presents. If you are still coming up empty, it is time to get creative. You can find something your friends or family members can use every day. When in doubt, you can simply put smaller presents together to make up a larger, more meaningful gift.

Gift an Experience

In case you are still feeling a little stuck, go ahead and find something that the two of you can do together. It may be a class, or anything else where you can enjoy each other's company(陪伴). In short, you will be able to give them the gift of friendship.

27、Since sugar is such a big part of the food we eat, people may wonder if some types of sugar are better for us than others. Let’s look at some common sweeteners to find out.

White Sugar

White sugar is also called table sugar because it’s often on tables at homes and restaurants. Because it goes through the most processing, it has the least nutritional value of all the sugars we consume. As it is being refined(提纯), the sugar loses its minerals along with any natural color it had. During the refining process, thick, brown liquid known as molasses(糖浆)is produced.

Brown Sugar

Brown sugar is essentially white sugar with some of the molasses added back in. Although the molasses contains some nutrients, the amount added is not enough to be of much benefit to people.

Black Sugar

Some people believe black sugar, which originated in Okinawa, Japan, is more nutritious than brown sugar. With black sugar, sugarcane is boiled until it turns into a dark sauce, which is then cooled and formed into solid chunks. Thus, black sugar keeps its molasses content.

Honey

Honey is another common type of sweetener that people use, with many believing it is the healthiest option because it comes from bees and is therefore more natural. There is truth to that belief, but despite having more nutritional value, too much honey can still be harmful to one’s health. The main point seems to be that people should control their intake of sugar as much as possible.

【1】Which type of sugar contains the least nutrition?

A．White Sugar

B．Brown Sugar

C．Black Sugar

D．Honey

【2】What makes honey a better choice?

A．Its natural color.

B．Its refining process.

C．Its source.

D．Its place of production.

【3】What is the purpose of the text?

A．To advertise different kinds of sugars.

B．To introduce the making process of sugar.

C．To persuade people to control sugar intake.

D．To recommend suitable sugars to people.

28、Unusual Things that Famous People Did

Leonardo Da Vinci And His Sleep Schedule

Da Vinci was a painter, an engineer, a writer, a sculptor, an inventor, an architect, a pioneer in exploring human anatomy, an eager animal lover and possibly one of the most famous vegetarians who ever lived. It seems that there’s nothing that this man did not do. Yet there was, it was sleeping. He wasn’t a fan of it and after conducting careful research and building up his knowledge, he started following the multiphase sleep cycle. To put it in other words, Da Vinci’s sleep would consist of several short naps every 24 hours. Being The Renaissance man is not so easy.

Leo Tolstoy And His Shoes

The giant of the Russian literature, Lev Tolstoy not only wrote historically accurate books, but he himself became of historical importance while still being alive. Despite coming from the highest layers of society, Tolstoy eventually started questioning the moral of society that he lived in and started following his own path. He became a vegetarian, started following a vigorous daily routine and denounced the looks of a rich man. He started wearing peasant clothes and shoes, which, despite not being too skilled, were made by himself.

Ludwig Van Beethoven And The 60 Coffee Beans

Ludwig van Beethoven did write the glorious “Symphony No. 9”, which is now the anthem of European Union, while being already deaf, but, of course, that’s just the tip of the iceberg of his input into musical history. Yet stellar results require astronomic discipline. Each morning Beethoven counted by hand 60 coffee beans from which he would make his perfect cup of coffee. Also, in order to restart his creative muscles after writing too much music, he would pour cold water on his head.

29、The television this morning was displaying some new adventure movie about the hunt for a treasure ship full of gold.【1】 Most of main characters have the dream of becoming an overnight millionaire. Later in the day I was at the gas station in line to pay for a filling up my car when the guy in front of me traded a handful of cash for a handful of hope in the form of Lotto tickets.

Where did this desire for treasure come from? I know I myself am guilty of it. As a boy I would walk in the woods and daydream of finding buried treasure there. Then as an adult I would fantasize about some unknown relative leaving me a fortune or of my two self-published books becoming best sellers. 【2】 However, when I see all the rich and famous people on television I can see that they aren’t that happy and that they have their own unique set of problems.

【3】 There really is a true treasure out there that will make our lives so much better and the most amazing thing of all is this treasure is absolutely free. This treasure is love. There is so much love around us and when we invite the love into our hearts and lives we become rich, our days are filled with smiles, and our lives are full of joy. When we have love inside us, the problems of this life lose their power over us. 【4】

Then how shall we look for treasure? The true treasure of life is already inside of you. 【5】 And the funny thing is that the more you share it with others, the more of it you have within yourself. Embrace love for you then. Share it with the world. It is a treasure that does not decay or disappear. It is a treasure that lasts forever.

A．While our lives may not be perfect, we are happy.

B．You just need to open the chest and spend it like crazy.

C．It doesn’t necessarily mean we need to dig holes to find treasure.

D．Maybe the real problem is that we are all looking for the wrong treasure.

E．It reminded me of all the other movies just like it I had seen over the years.

F．Treasure is usually defined as gathered wealth in the form of money or jewels.

G．Perhaps we all just think that having a lot of money will solve all of our problems.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be

used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Youth sport has the 【1】 to accomplish three important objectives in children’s development. First, sport programs can provide youth with opportunities to be 【2】 active, which can lead to improved physical health. Second, youth sport programs have long been considered important to youth’s psychosocial development, providing opportunities to learn important life skills such as cooperation, discipline, leadership, and self-control. Third, youth sport programs are 【3】 for the learning of motor skills(运动技能); these motor skills serve as a foundation for future national sport stars and recreational adult sport 【4】. When coachers develop activities for youth practices and when sport 【5】 design youth-sport programs, they must consider the implication of deliberate play and deliberate practice.

Research from Telama (2006) states that regular participation in deliberate play or deliberate practice activities during childhood and youth (ages nine to eighteen) increases the likelihood of participation in sports during adulthood by six times for both males and females. Côté (2002) defines deliberate play activities in sport as those designed to maximize enjoyment. These activities are regulated by flexible rules 【6】 from standardized sport rules and are set up by the children or by an involved adult. Children 【7】 change rules to find a point where their game is similar to the actual sport but still allows for play at their level. For example, children may change soccer and basketball rules to suit their needs and environment (e.g. in the street. on a playing field or in someone’s backyard). When 【8】 in deliberate play activities, children are less concerned with the outcome of their outcome of their behavior (whether they win or lose) than with the behavior (having fun).

On the other hand, Ericsson (1993) suggests that the most effective learning occurs through involvement in highly structured activities defined as deliberate practice. Deliberate practice activities require effort, produce no immediate rewards, and are 【9】 by the goal of improving performance rather than the goal of enjoyment. When individuals are involved in deliberate play, they experiment with different combinations of behaviors, but not necessarily in the most effective way to improve performance. In contrast, when 【10】 are involved in deliberate practice, they exhibit behavior. focused on improving performance by the most effective means available. For example, the backhand skill in tennis could be learned and improved over time by playing matches or by creating fun practice situations. However, players could more effectively improve their backhand performance by practicing drills that might be considered less enjoyable.

Although the drills used in most effective means available practice might not be the most enjoyable, they might be the most relevant to improving performance.
