An American woman living in Wisconsin volunteered to tutor English to a Japanese woman who had moved into the same community. “Before each lesson, and on each and every visit,” the American reported, “the Japanese lady brought me a gift — a book, some paper sculpture, flowers, or candy. It was discomforting.”

Unknowingly, this American was experiencing a custom rooted centuries deep in the Japanese culture. Gift giving is an institution and a revered custom in Japan. Gift giving is a necessity, not merely a nicety as in the West. In Japan the proper gift is thought to express the giver's true friendship, gratitude, and respect far better than words can. So if you plan to visit Japan or to have Japanese visit you here, be prepared.

So you know gift giving plays a very important role in nowadays society. Now let's see what's happening in other countries.

Germany

A West Virginia manager, visiting Germany for the first time, was invited to the home of his largest customer. He decided to bring his hostess a bouquet( 束) of flowers. He selected a dozen red roses.

Oops! Terrible mistake! Social gift giving is popular and well-established in Germany but has certain do's and don'ts.

Flowers are often taken to a hostess of a dinner party at her home, but there are three taboos（禁忌） to remember: 1) red roses signify a romantic interest, 2) an even number of flowers signify bad luck, as does the number thirteen, and 3) always unwrap the flowers before presenting them. This West Virginia was making what amounted to a passion at his customer's wife.

Greece

　　The most common form of showing appreciation in Greece is probably an evening's entertainment. If you do present a gift, avoid personal items, such as ties and shirts. If you are invited to a Greek home, flowers or a cake for the hostess is an appropriated gift.

Italy

When you are invited to a person's home for dinner, it might be nice to bring flowers or a box of chocolates for your hostess, although it is just as considerate to have the flowers sent the next day. Yellow roses can signify “jealousy.” And in Italy never send chrysanthemums(菊花), since they suggest death.

72. Why did the American woman feel uneasy?

     A. Because she wasn’t used to the Japanese custom of giving gifts.

     B. Because she was unsatisfied with the gifts given by the japanese woman.

     C. Because she promised to teach the Japanese woman for free.

     D. Because she had to send other gifts in return.

73. Which of the following is an improper gift given in Greece?

     A. A bundle of lily.     B. Chocolates.             C. Books.                  D. Shorts.

74. It might be a terrible mistake to send flowers improperly as gifts in _______ according to the text.

     A. Japan and Italy                                          B. Germany and Greece

     C. Japan and Greece                                       D. Italy and Germany

75. The main idea of this passage probably is _________.

     A. think twice when you send flowers as gifts

     B. the importance of gift giving in various countries

     C. some suggestions on gifts giving in different countries

     D. take care when you send gifts in different countries

It’s been said that life turns on small things. Sometimes it’s hard to see how small choices can change your life. But when put together over tiime, the little things can make the biggest difference.

The theme of Success for Teens is “little things matter”. The book helps teens identify small, positive choices they can make in their lives to help them reach their goals. Lots of teens don’t realize how the little choices in their lives can have lasting effects. Often they focus on the bigger events, such as a major exam, a big game or competition, or choosing a college. The little things, however, can go unnoticed unless your teen understands how important they can be.

The little things that lead to success are mostly easy to do. Help your teen identify a few areas in everyday life where he or she can make small, positive choices. It might be as simple as getting up on time, prioritizing their schoolwork, putting in an extra 10 minutes of practice or using some spare time to help someone else.

Nineteen-year-old Kyle Freas used to be on his school baseball team and would play every day after school. When the season was over, he had an empty three hours a day, so he started spending one third of such extra time daily looking for ways to help other kids. Over the past few years, his project has raised thousands of dollars to help abused, homeless and sick children. Kyle spent just a little time each day doing something that ended up benefiting a lot of kids. The improtant thing to understand is that Kyle made the small and positive decisions necessary for success.

Make sure your child understands that even though the results of the positive choices may not be seen right away, they are building on each other and taking him or her on a path that will lead to success.

68. Which of the following words can be used to describe Kyle Freas?

     A. Kind-hearted          B. Creative                      C. Naughty                   D. Self-confident

Xinhua News---The Beijing government has set out to recruit thousands of university graduates to work as junior officials in rural areas to both improve rural administration and ease the city’s employment problems.

The government plans to recruit 3,000 university graduates this year, 1,000 more than last year, to work as assistants to village heads or party secretaries in suburban areas.

People interested in jobs in Beijing’s rural villages and towns can send applications to Beijing Municipal Bureau of Personnel or log on to www. bjbys.com from February 1 through March 15.

“We hope university graduates will seize this opportunity to use their knowledge in rural villages and to start their careers,” Sun Zhenyu, the Deputy Director of Beijing Personnel Bureau, told Xinhua News Agency.

The government has promised successful candidates a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan in the first year, 2,500 yuan the second year and 3,000 the third year, provided their performance is up to the required standards, Sun said.

Wang Lina, who graduated from Beijing Union University last year, was one of the first graduates to find work in the city’s countryside. After majoring in Industial and Commercial Administration, Wang served as the assistant to the village head of Ertiaojie Village in suburban Beijing’s Pinggu District. For one project, Wang contacted people at Beijing Academy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences and arranged for the local farmers to receive training in strawberry planting. Her efforts paid off. The village had a plentiful harvest of organic strawberries earlier this year.

Nationwide, about 150,000 university graduates found employment in rural areas last year, according to the figures provided by the Ministry of Education.

The ministry predicts that 4.95 million students will graduate from universities across the country this year, 820,000 more than last year. About 1.4 million of them are unlikely to find jobs when they graduate.

In Beijing, a record of 200,000 people are expected to graduate from university this year. Less than half of them are expected to be offered jobs, according to Beijing Personel Bureau.

Monday: Here I am, in the middle of nowhere. this camping trip idea is not getting off to a very good start.It is raining and the tent leaks. The hiking seemed to take forever, and I still can't understand how it could all have been up hill! How did I ever let my brother talk me into this? When we get home--if we ever get home-- he's going to have to do something great to get back on my good side. Maybe he should sponsor a shopping spree at the mall!

Tuesday:Things are looking up. The sun came out today, so we were able to leave the tents and dry out. We are camped at the edge of a small lake that I couldn't see before because of the rain and fog. The mountains are all around us, and the forest is absolutely beautiful. We spent most of the day dragging everything out of our backpacks or tents and putting it where the sun could dry it out. Later in the afternoon we tried to catch the fish for dinner, but the fish were smarter than we were. At night we built a fire and sang songs happily

Wednesday: We hiked to the far side of the lake and climbed to the top of a small peak. From there we could see how high the other mountains were and how far the forest spread around us. On the way up we passed through a snowfield!

Thursday: I caught my first fish! We followed the stream that fed the lake. After about two miles, we came to a section that Carol said looked "fishy". She had a pack rod, which can be carried in a backpack. I asked to cast it, and I caught a fish on my first try. Carol caught a few more. but they were just too pretty to eat for lunch, so we put them back in the stream.

Friday: I can't believe we are going home already. It will be nice to get a hot shower, sleep in a real bed, and eat junk food, but the trip has been wonderful. We're already talking about another camping adventure next year where we canoe down a river. it's hard to believe, but I think this city girl has a little country blood in her veins.

Little Hossein was the first person I knew who died. We started calling him Little Hossein when Big Hossein moved down from the mountains to live with his brother Mohammed, our cook. Little Hossein was older than me, but just my size. His head was shaved. His father, Mashala, our gardener, spent the whole day, every day, watering the rose bushes, because the minute he stopped they got dusty. Little Hossein’s skin was the color of the dust and smelled like kerosene(煤油). One day, Big Hossein found him stealing Kool Pops from our refrigerator and hit him on the head with his flip-flops. Over and over. Harder and harder. Little Hossein started to cry, and so did I.

After that I guess we were friends, except that I spied on him and he spied on me. He crept onto the terrace and looked through my bedroom window. I told him the picture of President Kennedy on my dresser was the Shah of Emrika. He stared through my window at that picture a lot. Or maybe he was looking at my piggy bank right next to it.

He’d stand outside my window where my bike was parked. It was a three-speed from the States, but finally I let him borrow it. He rode it outside the gate to the village. He didn’t let the village boys ride it, but he rode it round and round the square while the boys tried to push him off. Every morning I had to walk past the sand dunes on my way from the gate to the school bus. The village boys hid behind the sand dunes. They threw stones that hit the gravel near my feet. One day when I came back from school Little Hossein was hiding with them.

Less is more. This is why we say: reduce things by half instead of doubling them, get rid of junk instead of piling it up, slow down instead of 36 . Apply these 37 in your everyday life, and you will find yourself being on your journey to simplification.

When you concentrate on one task, you find you have 　38 that you didn’t even know you had. Just imagine: you are at a fair and you have to 39 two heavy pigs over 100 yards. If you keep 　40 one and then the other, it will take a long time, 41 one of them will keep slipping out of your hand and 42 . But if you tie one pig in a place, pick up the other, gather all your 43 , make a dash for the finish line, pause for a moment, run back, get 44 one, and with great determination, carry the second pig to the finish line, and then you can be sure of success.

The stress of work is now 45 almost in all occupations. In the modern nuclear family, the stress that formerly would have been 46 among all the relatives is now 47 on the individual partner.

If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day is not 48 , then it’s not becausse the day has too 49__ hours, but because you have too many activities. A simple fact is that 50 people tend to forget. The 51 is equally simple: refuse to accept so many assignments.

“I can handle stress” is regarded as a positive statement. People who can handle stress are given more—until one day they 52 . Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you are under more stress than you can 　53 . These signs come from various 54 of life. You become ill, or your work efficiency 　55 .

If you have any of these symptoms, change your life goals and decrease your tolerance of stress. Say openly, “ I can’t manage that.”
