    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(窘境) 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 intohim 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．

    (1)

    Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father. “But Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead.”

        Dad , in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt--a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big question is why.

        There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.

        Myth( 神话)Number One: It's best to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident.

        Truth: Sorry , but any accident serious enough to “throw you clear” is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield(挡风玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are “thrown clear.”

    　　Myth Number Two: Safety belts “trap” people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.

    　　Truth: Sorry again. but studies show that people knocked unconscious(昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.

    　　Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour

    　　Truth: when two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other. An unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.

    Why did Elizabeth say to her father, “But. Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead”?

    A. He was driving at great speed.

    B. He was running across the street.

    C. He didn't have his safety belt on.

    D. He didn't take his medicine on time.

    The reason Father was in a hurry to get home was that he＿＿＿＿＿．

    A. wasn't feeling very well

    B. hated to drive in the dark

    C. wanted to take some exercise

    D. didn't want to be caught by the police

    According to the text, to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident is very dangerous ,because you ＿＿＿＿＿．

    A. may be knocked down by other cars

    B may get seriously hurt being thrown out of the car

    C. may find it impossible to get away from the seat

    D. may get caught in the car door

    Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe＿＿＿.

    A. the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident

    B. they will be unable to think clearly in an accident

    C. they will be caught when help comes

    D. cars catch fire easily

    What is the advice given in the text?

    A．Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.

    B. Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.

    C. Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.

    D. Drive slowly while you're not wearing a safety belt.

    The most frightening words in the English language are, “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I’m sorry, I can’t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”

    “If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”

    “I can’t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”

    I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all your people do?”

    “We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”

    “So when it goes down, you go down with it.”

    “That’s good, sir.”

    “How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know.

    “I have no idea. Sometimes it’s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There’s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it’s down it won’t answer us.”

    After the girl told me they had no backup computer, I said. “Let’s forget the computer. What about your planes? They’re still flying, aren’t they?”

    “I couldn’t tell without asking the computer.”

    “Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he’s flying to Washington, ” I suggested.

    “I wouldn’t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn’t take you if you didn’t have a ticket.”

    “Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”

    “I wouldn’t know, ” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only ‘IT’ knows. ‘It’ can’t tell me.”

    By this time there were quite a few people standing in line. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.

    1.The best title for the article is _______.

    A. When the Computer Is Down       B. The Most Frightening Words

    C. The Computer of the Airport     D. Asking the Computer

    2. What does the underlined words“ backup computer” probably mean?

    A. A computer that will be brought back soon.  

    B.A second-hand computer that is still in use.

    C. An advanced computer that never breaks down..   

    D. A computer ready for use when the main one does not work.

    3. The last paragraph implies that _______.

    A. a modern computer won’t be down.　　　　

    B. computers can take the place of humans

    C. sometimes a computer may bring suffering to people

    D. there will be great changes in computers
