A

Have you ever taken photos by using mobile phones with selfie sticks(

自拍

杆

)? This new invention is a small, useful and cleverly- designed tool.

However,

a

pair

of

US

artists

from

New

Mexico,

Arie

Snee

and

Justin

Crowe believe they have invented a better one and they call it

better or worse, they have taken the world by storm. It makes those people in

the pictures seem to be holding hands with a loved one.

The

pair

says

it

offers

a

far

better

experience

than

using

a

straight

stick.

The selfie arm makes people feel they are not alone when they take photos. It

seems that they are together with their friends. They think their invention solves

the main problem that the selfie stick has

—

people look alone while they are

taking pictures of themselves with great interests. The product, at present, just

an art project and a model, conveniently provides you a welcoming arm. And

better yet in the future, it’ll talk in a friendly way and never get angry or upset.

The pair says they are fascinated by these new ideas.

The

arm

is

made

of

fiberglass(

玻璃纤维

).

It

is

lightweight

and

easy-taking.

The

project

that

they

work

on

shows

the

growing

selfie

stick

phenomenon(

现象

)

directly

and

the

increasing

need

for

narcissism(

自恋

)

and

Internet agreement.

A gift card is a card that is issued

（发行）

by a store. These cards are big

money makers for stores. One reason

is

that when gift-card holders go to the

store, they often see other things to buy, and they spend more money than the

gift

card

is

worth.

Unused

cards

are

another

reason.

Stores

make

millions

of

dollars because large numbers of people never use their cards. They lose them,

forget about them, or decide that it's not worth the effort.

Gift cards are becoming very popular in many countries around the world.

In the US, they are one of the most popular kinds of gifts. Why? People love the

convenience-gift

cards

are

easy

to

buy

and

easy

to

use,

either

in

the

store

or

online. The recipient can choose his or her own gift, and the giver does not have

to worry about finding just the right thing.

Receiving a gift card, however, is not the same as receiving a gift. A real

gift is a better reminder of the person who gave it. The message of a real gift is

more

likely

to

be,

＂

I

spent

some

time

trying

to

find

the

right

gift

for

you

because I care about you.

＂

Often a gift card does not send the same message

as a real gift. It may seem to say,

＂

I was in a hurry. I didn't have time to think

about what you would really like.

＂

In

today's

world,

gift

cards

are

certainly

convenient.

However,

they

can

make

us

forget

the

real

purpose

of

giving

gifts,

which

is

to

build

a

closer

connection between the gift-giver and the gift-recipient.

41.

How

many

reasons

are

given

to

explain

why

gift

cards

are

big

money

makers for stores?

A. One.

B. Two.

C. Three.

D. Four.

42. What does the underlined word

＂

recipient

＂

m ean in Chinese?

A.

商家

B.

顾客

C.

发行者

D.

接受者

43. What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A. Why gift cards are popular in the US.

B. Different kinds of gift cards.

C. Where to buy gift cards.

D. How to use gift cards.

44. What message does a gift card send according to the writer?

Have you ever read stories of Sherlock Holmes---a famous detective? Here

is one of his cases.

Stapleton, Charles' younger brother, found that he would inherit (

继承

) the

Baskerville lands if Charles and his nephew(

侄子

) ---Henry both died.

Charles who had a weak heart believed super natural stories. After knowing

this, Stapleton had the idea of buying a huge hound, and of using the

phosphorus(

磷

) to make it shine like the hound in one story.

Then Stapleton asked his friend Laura to write a letter to bring Charles to the

moor gate on that sad night. The hound, which was shining with phosphorus,

chased Charles down the Yew Alley. Charles' fear was so great that his weak

heart stopped, and he died but the animal did not touch the dead body. There

was no sign of murder. It was difficult for Holmes to find the murderer.

Two weeks later, Stapleton learned that Henry had reached England. He

took his wife and the hound with him. He wore a false beard and followed

Henry in London. He wanted to use the same way to murder Henry there. He

needed something to give the hound Henry's smell, so he paid a woman at

Henry's hotel to steal one of his shoes. The first one was a new one, which was

no use for the hound, so it was put back. And then another older shoe was

stolen. Before he was ready to murder Henry, he wasn't sure if his wife would

keep his secret, so he did not tell her the truth. He locked her up in their hotel.

She knew that he must have some evil plans. She sent Henry a letter which was

made of words cut from a newspaper.

After receiving the letter, Henry realized he was in great danger and it must

have something to do with his uncle Charles' death. So he asked Holmes for

help.
