Writing a wish list (愿望清单) to parents and waiting to open presents — festivals are often about enjoying presents. Although it can be fun, it’s easy to overlook other people when you are in the excitement. Do you know that giving could actually make you happier
Giving means offering something free to others. Choosing a thoughtful (认真考虑的) gift is one common way of giving during some festivals, but giving is about much more than presents. “Giving isn’t just about physical things; it can be something as simple as giving your time to people,” explains Georgina Bennett from the organization Action for Children. “For example, helping family with jobs around the house or helping an old neighbor cross the street is giving too.”
There are some advantages (优点) of giving. “Giving can increase our happiness(快乐),” explains Bennett. According to some scientists, people giving something to others can get greater happiness than those only treating themselves. Giving, can also help us feel more connected to other people.
“There are lots of things that you can do. They may not cost anything or the cost may be really low (低的),” says Bennett. “For example, you can give your time by playing with younger relatives or helping with the family pet. Writing letters to loved ones and giving away toys and clothes are other ways of giving during some festivals. Even simple things like giving food you no longer need to the food bank can make a difference.”
31. What does the underlined word “overlook” in Paragraph 1 mean in Chinese
A. 期待 B. 敬仰 C. 忽略 D. 审视
32. In Paragraph 2, the writer uses Bennett’s words to ________.
A. show that giving comes in different ways
B. tell us how to choose gifts for different people
C. explain the reason why people give something to others
D show that we should care about our family and friends
33. There is/are ________ advantage(s) of giving in Paragraph 3.
A. one B. two C. three D. four
34. The last paragraph is mainly about ________.
A. some ways of giving B. why giving away things is popular
C. the result of giving D. how people celebrate some festivals
35. Which can be the best title for the passage
A. The reason of happiness B. Increase your happiness
C. Enjoy giving D. Festival gifts

The Internet has brought great changes to our lives. It changes the way we shop, we communicate with each other, we find answers to questions and much more. But some older people are being left behind because they’re not able to use a computer.
However, this is changing. Several charities (慈善机构) now help older people to get online. Paul Robinson runs(经营) one such charity-Seniors Online.
Paul worked for an IT company (公司) before deciding to leave his well-paid job and start the charity. He explains, “I used to spend a few hours a week helping some older people use the Internet at the library. It made a difference to their lives. Older people can be quite lonely when their children move away to find work or start a family of their own. Learning how to use e-mail can be a wonderful experience for them. So I left my job and started Seniors Online. Now older people can enjoy the Internet by taking our training classes.”
One of Paul’s students is 89-year-old Betty. Six months ago, she joined one of the classes. And now she has finished the class. “I joined a class so I could learn how to send e-mails to my family,” she says. “Using a computer was a little scary to begin with because you think you will do something terrible if you press(按) the wrong key. But you soon learn that you can’t really break anything. I think all people at my age should take classes like this.”

Writing a wish list (愿望清单) to parents and waiting to open presents — festivals are often about enjoying presents. Although it can be fun, it’s easy to overlook other people when you are in the excitement. Do you know that giving could actually make you happier
Giving means offering something free to others. Choosing a thoughtful (认真考虑的) gift is one common way of giving during some festivals, but giving is about much more than presents. “Giving isn’t just about physical things; it can be something as simple as giving your time to people,” explains Georgina Bennett from the organization Action for Children. “For example, helping family with jobs around the house or helping an old neighbor cross the street is giving too.”
There are some advantages (优点) of giving. “Giving can increase our happiness(快乐),” explains Bennett. According to some scientists, people giving something to others can get greater happiness than those only treating themselves. Giving, can also help us feel more connected to other people.
“There are lots of things that you can do. They may not cost anything or the cost may be really low (低的),” says Bennett. “For example, you can give your time by playing with younger relatives or helping with the family pet. Writing letters to loved ones and giving away toys and clothes are other ways of giving during some festivals. Even simple things like giving food you no longer need to the food bank can make a difference.”
31. What does the underlined word “overlook” in Paragraph 1 mean in Chinese
A. 期待 B. 敬仰 C. 忽略 D. 审视
32. In Paragraph 2, the writer uses Bennett’s words to ________.
A. show that giving comes in different ways
B. tell us how to choose gifts for different people
C. explain the reason why people give something to others
D. show that we should care about our family and friends
33. There is/are ________ advantage(s) of giving in Paragraph 3.
A. one B. two C. three D. four
34. The last paragraph is mainly about ________.
A. some ways of giving B. why giving away things is popular
C. the result of giving D. how people celebrate some festivals
35. Which can be the best title for the passage
A. The reason of happiness B. Increase your happiness
C. Enjoy giving D. Festival gifts
【答案】31. C 32. A 33. B 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要阐述了给予他人可以让我们更快乐，具体包括什么是给予、给予的好处以及给予的方式等。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“Although it can be fun, it’s easy to overlook other people when you are in the excitement.”可知，虽然这很有趣，但在所有的兴奋中很容易忽略其他人；因此“overlook”的含义为“忽略”。故选C。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据“ ‘Giving isn’t just about physical things; it can be something as simple as giving your time to people,’ explains Georgina Bennett from the organization Action for Children’ ”可知，给予不仅仅是物质上的东西，它可以是像给别人时间这样简单的东西；由此推知作者引用Bennett话是想说明给予有不同形式。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Giving can increase our happiness”及“Giving, can also help us feel more connected to other people”可知，一共提到了两点优势，故选B。
【34题详解】
段落大意题。根据最后一段的内容可知，是介绍给予他人的方式，如花时间和小辈一起玩、帮忙照顾家里的宠物、捐赠玩具和衣服等。故选A。

However, this is changing. Several charities (慈善机构) now help older people to get online. Paul Robinson runs(经营) one such charity-Seniors Online.
Paul worked for an IT company (公司) before deciding to leave his well-paid job and start the charity. He explains, “I used to spend a few hours a week helping some older people use the Internet at the library. It made a difference to their lives. Older people can be quite lonely when their children move away to find work or start a family of their own. Learning how to use e-mail can be a wonderful experience for them. So I left my job and started Seniors Online. Now older people can enjoy the Internet by taking our training classes.”
One of Paul’s students is 89-year-old Betty. Six months ago, she joined one of the classes. And now she has finished the class. “I joined a class so I could learn how to send e-mails to my family,” she says. “Using a computer was a little scary to begin with because you think you will do something terrible if you press(按) the wrong key. But you soon learn that you can’t really break anything. I think all people at my age should take classes like this.”
