Start Early Starting your shopping early can have many advantages.For instance, it gives you enough time to come up with ideas for what you should buy your friends or family members. Moreover, the closer it gets to holidays, the higher the prices go up. So, save your money by being an early bird. Make a List Here, you can write down everything your friends or family members love. This can include food, hobbies, experiences, and more. Then try to determine how to use this information to find a gift that perfectly suits them. If you are lucky, you should be able to find good ideas in one of these lists. Think outside the Box Often, the reason why you get stuck （卡住）for gift ideas is that you only focus on the same kind of presents. If you are still coming up empty, it is time to get creative.You can find something your friends or family members can use every day. When in doubt, you can simply put smaller presents together to make up a larger, more meaningful gift. Gift an Experience In case you are still feeling a little stuck,go ahead and find something that the two of you can do together.It may be a class, or anything else where you can enjoy each other's company （陪伴）. In short, you will be able to give them the gift of friendship. 1. What should you do if you want to save money？ ______ A. Start early B. Make a list C. Gift an experience D. Think outside the box 2.

Izzy, nine, restarted father Colm’s heart by stamping on（踩踏）his chest after he fell down at home and stopped breathing all of a sudden. Izzy’s mother, Debbie, immediately called 999 but Izzy knew doctors would never arrive in time to save her father, so she decided to have a try of CPR. However, she quickly discovered her arms were not strong enough, so she stamped on her father’s chest instead. Debbie then took over with some more conventional chest compressions（按压）until the ambulance arrived. Izzy, who has been given a bravery award by her school, said, “I just kicked him really hard. My mum taught me CPR but I knew I was not strong enough to use hands. I was quite scared. The doctor said I might as well be a doctor or a nurse. My mum said that Dad was going to hospital with a big footprint on his chest.” “She is a little star,” said Debbie. “I was really upset but Izzy just took over. I just can’t believe what she did. I really think all children should be taught first aid. Izzy did CPR then the doctor turned up. Colm had to have more treatment on the way to the hospital and we have got to see an expert. ” Truck driver Colm, 35, suffered a mysterious allergic reaction on Saturday and was taken to hospital, but was sent home only for it to happen again the next day.

Richard Sears and Nick Gough traveled 37,500 kilometers around the world and passed through 37 countries. They did this to support grassroots education project in Africa, Asia and South America. The pair, who set off from London, thought their expedition was over when the vehicle started to fail. When the tuk-tuk broke, they were only 70 kilometers from their destination. They decided to pull it the rest of the way. The tuk-tuk, which weighs 800 kilograms, was pulled in turns by Rich and Nick over three days. On arrival in Chepen, Peru, they discovered a mechanic who specialized in tuk-tuks and managed to fix it. The pair were back on the road and aiming for their next goal. Along their journey they had to tackle deserts and jungles. They also survived close encounters with elephants in Uganda and Botswana and an accident in Malaysia. The greatest hardship on the tuk-tuk was the mountain ranges lying in their path, including the Alps, the Himalayas and the Andes. Nick and Richard uncovered some inspirational projects across Africa, Asia and South America. They witnessed firsthand the educational challenges facing these areas today. They joined street children in the slums of Cairo, Khartoum, Kampala, Mumbai and Phnom Penh. They visited Congolese refugees (难民) in camps in Eastern Burundi. They witnessed how education could free sex-workers in Delhi and victims of human trafficking in Nepal. The pair established The Tuk Tuk Educational Trust, a U.K. registered charity. Talking bout their motivation, Richard said: “The world’s leaders have made a commitment to achieving universal primary education but, in spite of this pledge (誓言，承诺), over 57 million primary-aged children worldwide are still out of school; many more are in school, though still cannot access quality learning opportunities.” 8.Why did the two teachers travel the world?

Their exciting experience on the road. C. The beautiful scenery of famous mountains. D. The difficulties and dangers they faced in the journey. 11. Which of the following best describes the two teachers? A. Curious and brave. B. Humorous and generous. C. Courageous and responsible D. Efficient and honest. D Deputy Agriculture Secretary Kathleen Merrigan sees an epidemic (流行病) sweeping across America's farmland. It has little to do with the usual challenges, such as flood, rising fuel prices and crop-eating insects. The country's farmers are getting older, and there are fewer people standing in line to take their place. National agricultural census (普查) figures show that the fastest-growing group of farmers is the part over 65. Merrigan is afraid the average age will be even higher when the 2012 statistics are completed.     Merrigan, a former college professor, is making stops at universities across the country in hopes of encouraging more students to think about careers in agriculture. Aside from trying to stop the graying of America's farmers, her work is made tougher by a recent blog posting that put agriculture at No. 1 on a list of "useless" college degrees. Top federal agriculture officials are talking about the posting, and it has the attention of agricultural organizations across the country.     "There couldn't be anything that's more incorrect." Merrigan said. "We know that there aren't enough qualified graduates to fill the jobs that are out there in American agriculture."     In addition, a growing world population that some experts predict will require 70% more food production by 2050, she said.     "I truly believe we're at a golden age of agriculture. Global demand is at an all-time record high, and global supplies are at all-time record lows," said Matt Rush, director of the Texas Farm Bureau. "Production costs are going to be valuable enough that younger people are going to have the opportunity to be involved in agriculture."     The Department of Agriculture has programs aimed at developing more farmers and at increasing interest in locally grown food. The National Young Farmers' Coalition has also been pushing for state and federal policy changes to make it easier for new farmers.     Ryan Best, president of Future Farmers of America, has been living out of a suitcase, traveling the country and visiting with high school students about careers in agriculture. The 21-year-old Best hopes his message—that this is a new time in agriculture—will motivate the next generation to turn around the statistics. "Never before have we had the innovations (创新) in technology which have led to agriculture in this country being the most efficient it has ever been," he said. "There's really a place for everybody to fit in." 12. What is the new challenge to American agriculture? A. Fewer and older farmers. B. Higher fuel prices. C. More natural disasters. D. Lower agricultural output. 13. Why is Merrigan visiting universities across the country? A. To draw federal agriculture officials' attention. B. To select qualified agriculture graduates. C. To clarify a recent blog posting. D. To talk more students into farming careers. 14. According to Matt Rush, American agriculture will provide opportunities for younger people because ________. A. the government will cover production costs B. global food supplies will be even lower C. investment in agriculture will be profitable D. America will increase its food export 15. What do the underlined words "to turn around the statistics" in the last paragraph mean? A. To reanalyze the result of the national census. B. To increase agricultural production. C. To bring down the average age of farmers. D. To invest more in agriculture. 第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The human body is made up of over 75%water, and we cannot live without water.
