that your loved ones will enjoy.never has this concern been greater in recent years than right now.even so，there are several things that you can do to help.hit the sales.no one wants to get up at four oclock in the morning and fight to get the best deal on black friday，and its surely very tough to pick up the courage and get out there in the cold for a good deal，but sometimesit can be well worth. many retailers(零售商)offer specials all through the dayand some even offer online black friday specials，so you may still be able to get a great deal on black friday.pay close attention to advertisements.once the christmas shopping season is coming，retailers hungry for business will do just about whatever to get you in the store. pay very close attention to weekly advertisements of sales among the major retailers and you may be lucky enough to find different prices for the same thing in different shops.shop online.some of us dont like running from store to store in order to get the best price on the perfect gift，and some of us dont like to go out in the cold at allthankfully for us，we can do online shopping.the world of online shopping lets people visit all the major retailers as well as some specialty stores that could only be found on the internet.customers can find exactly what they are looking for，at the best possible price without ever having to leave the house.with traditional christmas shopping，we will spend a long time waiting if we want to get the perfect gift.56the first paragraph implies that _achristmas is a time to make our loved ones enjoy their giftsbrecently many people dont want to spend money on giftscnowadays not many people can afford expensive gifts dchristmas is a time to make us feel free to buy our loved ones gifts57the underlined word “specials”(para.3) means _asome experts in shoppingbcertain things for especially low pricecsome kind of help for a certain customerdthings that can only be found on friday58we can have more choices _aon the internet bin a particular storecon black friday dfrom retailers59in this passage the writer means to _atell us the best way to do shoppingbgive us advice on how to get a good deal at christmas timecshow us how hard it is to do christmas shoppingdattract more readers to do wise shoppingbare some people born clever，and others born stupid？or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences？strangely enough，the answer to both these questions is yes.to some degree our intelligence is given to us at birth，and no amount of special education can make a genius (天才) out of a child born with low intelligence.on the other hand，a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings.thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth，but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. this view，now held by most experts can be supported in a number of ways.it is easy to say that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with. the closer the blood relationship between two people，the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population，it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. if on the other hand we take two identical twins，they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. relations like brothers and sisters，parents and children，usually have similar intelligence，and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.imagine that now we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. we might send one，for example，to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. we would soon find differences in intelligence developing，and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. this conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other，but who are not related at all，are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.60by using the example that two people closer in blood relationship are closer in intelligence，the writer wants to prove _aeducation plays an important part in the development of intelligencebintelligence can be developed by environmentcintelligence can be developed by experiencedintelligence is given at birth 61a child who lives in rich and varied surroundings turns out higher in intelligence because _ahis family is rich and therefore can afford to develop his intelligencebthese surroundings are likely to help him reach the limits of his intelligence chis family is rich and provides him with various healthy fooddhe can break the limits of intelligence fixed at birth62the writer of this article believes that _athe development of ones intelligence is determined by many things working togetherbenvironment plays the most important role in the development of intelligenceceducation plays the most important role in the development of intelligencedbirth plays the most important role in the development of intelligence63the best title for this passage might be _athe answer to a questionbbirth and environmentcintelligencedintelligence and educationchonesty comes in many forms. first theres self-honesty. is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? i find that if i try to be something im not，i feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my pba(personal bank account)i love how singer judy garland put it，“always be a first-class version of yourself，instead of a second-class version of somebody else.”then theres honesty in our actions. are you honest at school，with your parents，and with your boss？if youve ever been dishonest，i think we all have，try being honest，and notice how whole it makes you feel. remember，you cant do wrong and feel right. this story by jeff is a good example of that.in my second year of study，there were three kids in my math class who didnt do well. i was really good at it. i would charge them three dollars for each test that i helped them pass. id write on a little piece of paper all the right answers，and hand them off.at first i felt like i was making money，kind of a nice job. i wasnt thinking about how it could hurt all of us. after a while i realized i shouldnt do that anymore，because i wasnt really helping them. they werent learning anything，and it would only get harder down the road. cheating certainly wasnt helping me.it takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests，lying to their parents，and stealing at work. but，remember，every act of honesty is a deposit (储蓄) into your pba and will build strength.64the underlined part “appear through smoke and mirrors” in the first paragraph means“_”ato be honest bto become clearcto be unreal dto come from an imagined world65which of the following can best explain judy garlands words?adont 1earn from others unless theyre excellent.bdont copy others or you cant be the first class.cmake efforts to be the first instead of the second.dbe your true self rather than follow others.66what does the author expect to show by jeffs story?aone should realize the wrong in his bad deeds.ba bad thing can be turned into a good one.chelping others cheat can do good to nobody.dhonesty can be of great help.67in the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express _ahonesty in ones actions can help him in the future bits difficult to be honest when others are notcone

geography bookda magazinee“there are no real friends or enemies in the business world”. this saying may have been on the minds of bosses at chinas main online video providers, y inc and tudou holdings ltd, when the one-time rivals（对手）agreed to merge (合并) on march 12. the deal will create the countrys largest company in the online video industry, youku tudou inc.three months ago, the two companies were involved in a copyright dispute. on december 12, tudou charged y with illegally airing the entertainment series, kangxi is coming. tudou was the only company which had rights to the series. in response, youku filed a lawsuit（诉讼） against tudou, claiming the company was broadcasting more than 50 youku-owned tv series.according to analysts, the deal came out of the market battle between the two companies. each spent so much money buying licensed content that they ended up in the red last year. “funding pressures are the main reason for the deal,” said shi jialong, a hong kong-based analyst with clsa asia-pacific markets. “after the merger, there might be a fall in copyright purchase prices, which is good for the industry in the short term.”the new company will face competition from web portals(门户网站) providing similar services. youku owned 21.8 percent of chins online video market in the last quarter of last year and tudou 13.7 percent, but s followed close on the heels with 13.3 percent, according to domestic research company analysys international.some analysts do not feel the deal will secure the market for youku tudou. shi yu, ceo of media company ku6, said the merger was unlikely to have
