　　Except for a few times, Americans are not big present-givers．There's no exchange of presents among business people, and if one American tries to give another a present, it may look like that he wants to bribe(贿赂)him．Americans have learned that in some other countries people like to give presents to others, but among ourselves we don't see the need for presents．

　　Even friends may never exchange presents．When I go to foreign countries, I try to bring back little things for close friends, but nobody would feel unhappy if I didn't．I don't often remember a friend's birthday, and few people outside of my family remember mine．If someone gave me presents too often, I'd get unpleasant．But a present from a foreigner - that kind from his or her homeland－won't go wrong, except to government employees(政府职员)who can't be given presents．

　　You usually open a present at once and in front of the person who gives it except Christmas and birthday presents．You should only say, "It's so nice．Thanks…" when you get Christmas or birthday presents．

　　You may want to bring a bottle of wine(葡萄酒)or flowers to a dinner party, but you're never asked to．Nobody will mind if you bring wine, but your friend may not use it that evening．

　　At Christmas we often give presents to our family and sometimes our friends．We also give presents to people who have been helpful during the year- doormen, babysitters, housecleaners, newspaper senders－anyone who has often helped us．

　　The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before a huge pile of (一大堆) those troublesome things called “books”.

　　I was going to have my exam the next day.“When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I couldn't answer. The clock struck twelve. “Oh, dear! Ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We students are the most wretched ones in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He didn't have to work so hard when he was a clock struck one. I was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed(祈祷),“My god, please let me pass the exam tomorrow. I will work hard next time, Amen.” My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.

(1)When the writer was going over his lessons, all the others were ________.

[　　]

(2)The word“wretched” means ________.

[　　]
