课时分层作业(九) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had been handed to you by mistake？Worse，have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box？Maybe she responded with a polite “Why，thank you，” but you knew you had missed the mark．Why do presents sometimes go wrong？And what do your choices (good or bad) reflect about your personal qualities? Choosing the right gift is an art，I believe.It calls for empathy—the ability to put yourself into someone else's head and heart.We're all able to do this; in fact，we're born with a kind of natural empathy.After the earliest period of childhood，however，it needs to be reinforced(加强)—by our parents，teachers，friends.When it isn't，we're not able to understand other people's feelings as sharply.This can show in the gifts we select，and so can many other emotional qualities. Think back to the presents you've given over the past year，the time and effort you put into your selection，how much you spent，your thoughts while you were shopping，and your feelings when the receiver opened the package.Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world.(Of course，you may express yourself differently with different friends，relatives，and other people you know.) We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication.Ignoring the tradition won't make it go away.If you really dislike such a tradition，tell your friends ahead of time. 【语篇解读】　本文介绍了不管是接受礼物、送出礼物、还是挑选礼物，礼物都包含了一定的信息，这个信息从送出者传递到接受者。只有了解接受者的喜好，才能挑选出合适的礼物。 1．The underlined expression “you had missed the mark” means “you had failed to ”． A．make her feel better B．keep your friendship C．get the expected effect D．receive a present in return C　[句意猜测题。根据本句中的“but”以及下句“Why do presents sometimes go wrong？”可知，此处意为“你没能得到预期效果”。故选C。] 2．Which of the following is the main idea of the second paragraph?
