Gift Giving

61．C
There are many occasions（场合） for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies：birthdays，naming ceremonies，weddings，anniversaries，New Year，It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures．In addition，special events，such as one's first day of school or graduation from university，often require gift fiving．
62．F
What is happening when we give gifts？Most important，we are exchanging gifts．If someone gives me a gift for my birthday，I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday．A gift builds up or confirms a social obligation（义务）．
63．D
Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones．People say that a gift lets the recipient（接受者） know we are thinking of them，and that we want to make the person"feel special．"We want people to feel wanted，to feel part of our social or family group．We give presents to say"I'm sorry．"Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like．Sometimes we give things that we like or would feel comfortable with．In all these cases，the gifts are sending out messages-often very expressive ones．
64．B
People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way．A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house．These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years："I appreciate these，and they mean something to me，"the woman said，"because I remember the occasions they were given on，and that they were from my mother，and the relationship we've had．"The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind．This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others．She hoped that the recipients would look at here gifts in years to come and remember her．
65．A
Emotions（情感）like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving．They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful．Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case．Each gift is unique even if so many are given．The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue．

8．Once many years ago，I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming．Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide．In closing she called me a hero．
That got me thinking about what a hero is．Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car？If so，how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone's life？
Today I looked up the word"hero"in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant．It read"a person who does something brave"and also"a person who is good and noble"．
That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave．So I thought about something very important．And I remembered what happened to me years ago．
After my marriage of twenty years ended，I was in such a condition．I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery．When I returned home，someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend．That wonderful card probably saved my life．That person，without even knowing it，saved a life and became a hero．
The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy．In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero．I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages （孤儿院）．Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world．The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten．Hopefully，most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared．If it works，we will also become"heroes"．
56．The main idea of the passage isB
A．why the writer should be a hero
B．what a hero exactly is
C．whether the writer is a hero
D．that everyone is a hero
57．Why did the woman call the writer a hero at the end of the call？A
A．Because his story saved her son's life．
B．Because he saved a family from a burning car．
C．Because he asked her son not to kill himself．
D．Because he was cute and kind to everybody．
58．What does the underlined word"it"in the last sentence of Paragraph 5 refer to？
C
A．The wonderful card the writer received．
B．The action of sending the card．
C．The fact that the sender helped the writer．
D．The fact that the sender was a friend of the writer．
