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 (賄賂) 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 (政府職員) 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 like doormen, babysitters, housecleaners , newspaper senders — anyone who has often helped us.
1.What do the underlined words ‘close friends’ mean in the passage?
A.The friends who are very kind.
B.The friends who live close to each other.
C.The friends who were once classmates.
D.The friends who you like most.
2.What kind of presents don’t Americans usually open in front of the givers?
A.The small presents
B.Christmas or birthday presents.
C.The expensive presents.
D.The presents for dinner party.
3.Why do Americans also give presents to housecleaners at Christmas?
A.To pay them.
B.To help them.
C.To thank them.
D.To make them work harder.
4.Which of the following do you think is right?
A.American business people don’t want presents because they are rich enough.
B.The writer of this passage must be an American.
C.Everyone must give presents to one’s family and friends at Christmas.
D.Government employees can get little presents from a foreigner.
5.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Present-giving in the United States.
B.Customs (習(xí)俗) in the United States.
C.American people and present-giving.
D.When and how to give presents.

What do you think are the most important inventions of the past 2,000 years? The TV? The printing? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that these are not the only important inventions. Here are four other important ones.
Paper is one of the most important inventions. You can’t have printing without paper. In 105 AD, Cai Lun invented paper in China. Long before the printing and Internet, Cai Lun’s invention allowed us to write down information, stories and history.
One of the simplest (最簡單) inventions to save life is the toilet. Before toilets, waste ran into the rivers from people’s houses. Illnesses were common (普通的) in big cities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.
Animal food is another invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in the winter. After hay (干草) became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter.
Reading glasses is the fourth invention. People start getting far-sighted (遠視) from the age of 45. Glasses mean that anyone can read, write and do “close work” after that age. Without glasses, the world would be difficult for the people above 45.
1.Cai Lun’s invention of paper makes it possible to ______.
A.have printing B.feed animals
C.drink clean water D.do “close work”
2.The invention of the toilet can stop people from ______.
A.saving water B.getting ill
C.living in big cities D.finding clean water
3.Why couldn’t the animals live through the winter?
A.It was very cold in winter. B.They didn’t have enough food to eat.
C.They had no drinking water. D.They died of illness.
4.From the last paragraph we learn that ______.
A.a(chǎn)ll people need reading glasses
B.a(chǎn)nyone must do “close work” after 45
C.reading glasses are useful
D.life is more difficult for the people under 45
