Low-Cost Gifts for Mother's Day

Gift No. 1

Offer to be your mother's health friend. Promise to be there for any and all doctor's visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up. Most mothers always say "no need," another set of eyes and ears is always a good idea at a doctor's visit. The best part? This one is free.

Gift No. 2

    Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them. "Having all this information in one place could end up saving your mother's life," Dr. Marie Savard said.

Gift No. 3

    Enough sleep is connected to general health conditions. "Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep," Savard said. "We know that good sleep is very important to our health."

Gift No. 4

Some gift companies such as Presents for Purpose allow you to pay it forward this Mother's Day by picking gifts in which 10 percent of the price you pay goes to a charity (慈善機(jī)構(gòu)). Gift givers can choose from a wide variety of useful but inexpensive things — many of which are "green" and then choose a meaningful charity from a list. When your mother gets the gift, she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.

1.What are you advised to do for your mother at doctor's visits?

A. Take notes.                                                  B. Be with her.

C. Buy medicine.                                             D. Give her gifts.

2.Where can you find a gift idea to improve your mother’s sleep?

A. In Gift No. 1.         B. In Gift No. 2

C. In Gift No. 3.         D. In Gift No. 4.

3.Buying gifts from Presents for Purpose allows mothers to       .

A. enjoy good sleep  B. be well-organized

C. bet extra support D. give others help

 

【答案】

 

1.B

2.C

3.D

【解析】

試題分析:文章大意:文章是一篇廣告類題材的應(yīng)用文。文章介紹了四條在母親節(jié)期間,為母親提供質(zhì)優(yōu)價(jià)廉的禮物的建議。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一則廣告中“Promise to be there for any and all doctor's visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up”(不管是疾病檢查還是定期的醫(yī)療檢查,你都一定要陪母親看醫(yī)生)可知,B項(xiàng)正確。關(guān)鍵詞定位:文章中的Promise to be there和be with her是同意表達(dá)。故選B。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞“improve your mother's sleep”定位到第三則廣告中的“Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep”(給母親買棉床單和舒適的枕頭,讓母親睡眠更好)。故選C。

3.推理判斷題。文章最后一段提到Present for Purpose,聯(lián)系該段中的“she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.”可知,這個(gè)禮物可以讓母親給別人提供幫助。故選D。

考點(diǎn):廣告類短文閱讀
