（2023下·北京丰台·高一统考期中）Trying to find the perfect present is about as easy as trying to read someone’s mind.

So, what to do Here are some tips that could help.
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.

Think outside the Box
Often, the reason why you get stuck 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

（2022下·北京·高一北京师大附中校考期中）What it does
The self-cleaning door handle is combining with advanced photocatalytic (光催化) and blacklight technology. A light source activates the door’s handle coating, telling it to start cleaning. It can minimize the risk of infection by contact and improve the cleanliness of a space.
How it works
The working principle of the product is that a thin advanced photocatalytic coating can effectively remove bacteria (细菌) on the surface of a substance. A consistent UV light source-inside a transparent glass door handle - is required to activate the door’s handle coating on the outer surface for disinfection, so a generator is used to provide electricity to light up a UV LED lamp by the motion of an opening and closing door. Then, the door handle can clean by itself.
Design process
We made the first version by using stainless steel. However, it caused the door handle to be heavier. Then, we tried aluminum, which made it light and easy to fix. We also improved the generator output which effectively turned energy from door movement into a light source.
How it is different
Our innovative design is simple, effective, and attractive. It has an elegant smooth shape, and its minimalist appearance stands out in today’s world of inventions. Nowadays, people use chemical cleaning materials to clean up public areas but it harms the human body. Our design can be used for a long time and is effective. It can self-clean after each use. In the door lock and door handle market, it is a unique design because there are no similar products.
Future plans

Since 1979, UNICEF has been carrying out programmes in remote areas of China. These programmes provide support and assistance to children in need from several aspects: healthcare, nutrition, water and sanitation, education, child protection and welfare. More specifically, these programmes also look to address issues related to maternal and child health, child-friendly schools, and early childhood development. Your kind support will be used to help Chinese children to meet their most urgent needs through our projects.
Safeguard Adolescent Mental Health
It is estimated that at least 30 million children and adolescents aged under 17 in China struggle with emotional or behavioural problems. However, more than half couldn’t access mental health services that they need. Your donation will support the integration of adolescent mental health services into the primary health care system; help advocate for making psychological counselling services more affordable for all families; and empower adolescents with skills and knowledge to support their mental health.
Enhance Early Childhood Development
The years from pregnancy to a child turning 3 years old are critical and lay the foundation for lifelong health and learning. However, in China, nearly 17 million children under 5 years old are unable to reach their full potential, especially in rural areas of central and western regions. Your support will help provide community-based integrated early childhood services for families and young children, including guidance on health, nutrition, interaction, and play.
Prevent Child Overweight and Obesity
In 2020, the spread of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents aged 6-17 reached 19 per cent, almost double that of 2015. The situation has been worsened by unhealthy food environments, the availability of ultra-processed foods, and aggressive marketing. You can help create a healthy food environment for children and empower them to develop healthy eating habits and lifestyles that could have long-term benefits throughout their lives.

（2023下·北京丰台·高一统考期中）Trying to find the perfect present is about as easy as trying to read someone’s mind. Few people will actually tell you what they want for a special occasion and most of the time your loved ones will insist that they don’t need or want anything! So, what to do Here are some tips that could help.
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.

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 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

（2022下·北京·高一北京师大附中校考期中）What it does
The self-cleaning door handle is combining with advanced photocatalytic (光催化) and blacklight technology. A light source activates the door’s handle coating, telling it to start cleaning. It can minimize the risk of infection by contact and improve the cleanliness of a space.
How it works
The working principle of the product is that a thin advanced photocatalytic coating can effectively remove bacteria (细菌) on the surface of a substance. A consistent UV light source-inside a transparent glass door handle - is required to activate the door’s handle coating on the outer surface for disinfection, so a generator is used to provide electricity to light up a UV LED lamp by the motion of an opening and closing door. Then, the door handle can clean by itself.
Design process
We made the first version by using stainless steel. However, it caused the door handle to be heavier. Then, we tried aluminum, which made it light and easy to fix. We also improved the generator output which effectively turned energy from door movement into a light source.
How it is different
Our innovative design is simple, effective, and attractive. It has an elegant smooth shape, and its minimalist appearance stands out in today’s world of inventions. Nowadays, people use chemical cleaning materials to clean up public areas but it harms the human body. Our design can be used for a long time and is effective. It can self-clean after each use. In the door lock and door handle market, it is a unique design because there are no similar products.
Future plans
In the future, we will commercialize the product and hope that it can compete on the market with similar products. We are going to connect with public properties, for example, shopping malls, hotels, hospitals and public restrooms, where the risk of spreading infection is higher.
Awards
In addition to winning the James Dyson Award, it has also received the Gold Award, and in 2016, it was featured in the 44th International Geneva Inventions Exhibition.
26．How does the self-cleaning door handle function
A．It controls the door movement automatically.
B．It minimizes the risk of infection by less contact.
C．Chemical cleaning materials are used to clean it up.
D．The light source tells the door handle coating to clean itself.
27．Compared with the first version of the product, the present one is
A．safer and cheaper B．cleaner and easier
C．less heavy and more effective D．more attractive and expensive
28．What do we know about the new invention according to the passage
A．It has been widely used in public areas.
B．It is quite competitive among similar products.
C．It has received positive responses for its innovation.
D．It will replace traditional chemical cleaning materials.
