14.This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant,especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing.Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what's happening around them.They can seem forgetful and clumsy.(36)BThey annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history.(37)C Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?
So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?
First,understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others.Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.(38)E And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you're daydreaming,try to do it while you are involved in another task-preferably something simple,like taking a shower or walking,or even making meaningless drawings.
It's also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concerntrate."Mindfulness",being focused,is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.(39)A
Finally,you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.(40)G
Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.

A.Having interesting things to think about also helps.
B.They stare off into space and wander by themselves.
C.Without wandering minds,we wouldn't have relatively,Coke or Post-it notes.
D.At one time,daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.
E.It involves slow,steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.
F.Daydreams are often very simple and direct,quite unlike sleep dreams,which may be hard to understand.
G.Therefore,it's a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you're  in the daydream zone.

19.Re-gifting only with care
At this busiest gift-giving time of the year,many of us wonder what to do with the unwanted presents we get.Is it all right to re-gift--to give the unwanted present to someone else?
A gift is a symbol of what a relationship means to us.The best gifts meet the needs or satisfy the desires of the receiver.A gift should be about pleasing the other person,not showing off the taste,wealth or power of the giver.We should give with the other person,not ourselves in mind.
Still,a friend,colleague or family member who knows us well might now and then buy us something that is the last thing we'd buy for ourselves.People in long-term relationships can be surprised at the choices in clothes,music or gadgets(小玩意) made by their friends or relatives.
Re-gifting creates a dilemma because we don't want to hurt the feelings of the gift-giver,but we also feel it's wasteful not to use something that might benefit someone else.
Re-gifting avoids waste and repays a debt of gratitude we owe to someone else,but it presents the risk that the original giver will be hurt if she or he discovers what we did.
Following are a few guidelines for re-gifting:
--Don't use the gift.
--Re-gift soon,so you don't risk re-gifting to the original giver.
--Make sure that the new receiver doesn't know the original giver or is unlikely to run into
him or her.
If there's a possibility that the original giver could learn about the re-gift or if he or she expects to see you wearing the gift,consider asking for permission.Let him or her know how much you appreciate the thought behind the gift.A person who understands that a gift is intended to be pleasing will understand.As long as the person who gave the unwelcome gift doesn't mind or won't find out,you can re-gift with a clear conscience.Besides,you can be sure that at least one of the gifts you've received was given originally to someone else.
63.According to the author,the gift that you want to buy for your friend had better be the oneC.
A.that can benefit someone else          
B.that you want to buy for yourself
C.that is a necessity for your friend       
D.that will surprise your friend
64.In the third paragraph,the author wants to tell readers thatA.
A.people sometimes get the gifts that they don't really like
B.our friends usually choose the best gifts for us
C.we should not buy clothes,music or gadgets for our friends
D.your best friend should know what gift is the best for you
65.What can we infer from the last sentence of the passage?B
A.The gift you get is the one you bought for someone.
B.Re-gifting is a very common practice today.
C.You should re-gift at least two gifts each year.
D.More than one of your friends will re-gift their presents to you each year.
66.According to its meaning,the sentence"After all,some people like orange and red sweaters,or the complete recorded works of Wayne Newton (US singer),or fruitcake (which you don't like at all)."should be put at the end ofD.
A.Paragraph 1     
B.Paragraph 2      
C.Paragraph 3      
D.Paragraph 4.

(31)BDo not hide things from them,do not lie.Don't be afraid to say things that aren't very flattering about yourself.Getting them to trust you is the most important element in any relationship.If there's no trust,there's nothing there.So please be honest and they'll learn to open up to you.

Make sure you have a good sense of humor with them.Laughter is the key to happiness.Laugh a lot with them,joke with them.Laughter may seem silly,but it's the secret to a lot in life.It will keep the sparks alive.(34)D
Make sure the communication is good.This goes along with trust,but always communicate how you feel,even if it's something that upsets you.Instead of screaming,talk to them.(35)GIt's important to communicate this to them,not keep it bottled up.

D.Laughter keeps the relationship strong and lasting.
