Giving a gift can mean a lot. It can be a way to deepen (加深) a friendship. Before you get a gift for someone, spend time really thinking about what makes him or her special. Think about their interests, hobbies, needs and happiest moments. For example, friends and families with children might love a special calendar that contains everyone’s birthday and other special dates and events.
For music fans, a CD filled (填充) with their favourite music always makes a special gift.
Spending time with loved ones is also a way to give them a gift. You might take that special person out for a birthday dinner at your favourite restaurant.
Making a gift for someone using your own skills is very special. It is much more meaningful than a store-bought gift and shows how much you care!

Scientists have found a new use for children’s imaginations(想象力)—to make Stomachaches go away. The BBC reports a new study that shows: “Children can be taught to use their Imaginations to deal with stomachaches.” This may be very good news for parents who need a quick cure for their sick children.
Any mother or father understands the stomach problem is one of the most frequent(时常发生的) things their children complain about. Around twenty percent of children suffer from stomachaches that doctors cannot find a reason for.
This new research is especially good for kids with active imaginations. Researchers found that the more creative the child is, the better he or she is at imagining the pain away.
The researchers used a relaxing CD with children. A voice guided them through different fantasy(幻想) situations. One of these was pretending to be floating on a cloud. Thirty children took part in the tests. Half of them used the “guided imagery” method, and the other half received normal medicines. Researchers found 73.3 percent of the CD users reported a reduction in pain. This compared to only 26.7 percent of kids who got normal treatment.
Study leader Dr Miranda Tilburg was very excited about her findings. She believed that it was a very cheap and easy way to stop children’s stomachaches. She said it would not work as well with adults.
The new study may be good news for those who____________.
| A．have less imaginations |
| B．don’t know how to relax |
| C．want to stop their kids’ stomachaches in a short time |
| D．can find why children suffer from stomachaches |
What kind of kids will benefit(从…收益) most from the new research?
| A．Kids who like listening to music. |
| B．Kids who are good at remembering things. |
| C．The independent(独立的) kids. |
| D．Kids with active imaginations. |
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
| A．Sometimes, doctors don’t know why children suffer from stomachaches. |
| B．Children complain about their learning problems most frequently. |
| C．The more creative the child is, the less likely he or she is to have a stomachache. |
| D．30 children received normal medicines in the tests. |
From the end of the passage, we know that__________.
| A．adults can also use their imaginations to make stomachaches go away |
| B．Dr Miranda Tilburg wasn’t pleased with her findings |
| C．the normal cure for stomachaches will not be used |
| D．a cheap and easy way to stop children’s stomachaches has been found |

The last few days before Christmas passed quickly and it was soon Christmas Eve. That night when everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn't sleep. He still couldn't think of what he wanted his special Christmas gift to be. He wondered how Santa Claus would know what to bring him if he didn't know himself.
As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof and a sound downstairs. It was Santa Claus, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and raced down the hall to the stairs hoping to have a look at the old man with his own eyes.
By the time Bunny reached the bottom of the stairs, though, everything was again silent .Beautiful gifts were piled(堆积) under the Christmas tree, but Santa Claus was gone. He looked for him for a few minutes, but it was already too late. Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry.
“Hello,” said Bunny. “Is somebody there?”
He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of gifts to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and sad eyes. Bunny might have mistaken it for a dog, if it hadn’t been for the antlers(鹿角) on its head.
"Are you a reindeer?" asked Bunny.
"Yes," replied the animal, “my name is Ralph."
"And you were pulling Santa’s sled(雪橇)?"
"I was until I got air-sick," replied Ralph," I'm afraid I wasn't cut out for the job. Now I'm stuck here and I don't know how to get back to the North Pole."
