handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she
had opened the wrong box? Maybe she responded (回应) with a polite "Why, thank you" , but you knew you
had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices (good and bad) tell
about your personal qualities (品质)?
Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe. It calls for empathy-the ability to put yourselfinto someone else's
head and heart. We're all able to do this; in fact, we're born with a kind of natural empathy. After the earliest
period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced (加强) by our parents, teachers, friends. When it isn't,
we're not able to understand other people's feelings as sharply. This can show in the gifts we select, and so can
many other emotional qualities.
Think back to the presents you've given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection,
how much you spent your thoughts while you were shopping, and your feelings when the receiver opened the
package. Keep in mind that what you choose shows your mner world. Of course, you may express yourself
differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know.
We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication. Paying no attention
to the tradition won't make it go away. If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends ahead of time.
B. keep your friendship
C. receive a present in return
D. get the expected effect
B. one learns from what he did in the past
C. the choice of gifts shows one's emotional qualities
D. one should spend more time choosing gifts
B. An Important Tradition
C. Exchanging Presents
D. Message in a Gift
Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Albans--a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class. After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics, and then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology. As he himself admits(承认), he didn't work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got good marks.
It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump (撞上 )into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neuron disease, an incurable illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before he was 23.
At first, Hawking became very sad. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later write, "Before my illness was diagnosed(诊断), I had been very bored with life. There bad not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do." Hawking married, found a job at Cambridge University, and had three children. He also went on to do some of the most important scientific research.
Today, Hawking still works at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody, however bad their situation(处境) is, should lose hope. "Life is not fair, "he once said. "You just have to do the best you can in your own situation."
