There are at least 4，500 snow leopards（雪豹）in China，making up more than half of their population worldwide.

One night in 1965，an African-American woman got caught in a storm in her car on an Alabama highway.It was raining very heavily.The thunder was like a lion.The lightning lit up the world!The earth seemed to shake.

Chinese people have their own ideas when buying gifts for their family members or friends.
When it is a baby，people usually buy some children's clothes，shoes or gloves.But when it comes to some old people，something useful for them should be great.Milk，fruits or some healthy food would be highly welcomed.As for friends，something meaningful is a good choice，such as a box of chocolate or candies.It is not easy to think of something special for all situations.So very often if it is not of any special visit，some flowers would be good enough.
It's important to know that giving someone gifts should not be a one-way business.When you get the gift from others，you should find a chance in the future to show your thanks by buying a gift the next time you meet.You can do so just by either paying a visit with a gift or offer a meal outside.
Don't mind it if your friend doesn't open your present the moment he gets it.Chinese people usually think opening the present in front of you would be not good，so they probably open it after you leave.
However，Chinese people are less serious about gift-giving than they used to.So，don't worry too much when you visit a Chinese friend or family.Maybe your unusual idea would give them a lot of surprises.
46.What could Lisa buy if she wants to visit her friend's new baby？ ______
A. Chocolate. B. Milk. C. Gloves. D. Flowers.
47.According to（根据）paragraph 3，how can people show their thanks if they get gifts from others？ ______
A. Offer a meal.
B. Pay for the gifts.
C. Say"Thank you".
D. Open the gifts with smiles.
48.What does the underlined word"it" in paragraph 4 refer to（指的是）？ ______
A. Opening the gift with no thanks.
B. Opening the gift at once.
C. Opening the gift in front of you.
D. Opening the gift after you leave.
