第一篇：记叙文 - 毕业礼上的特别礼物（分值：10分 难度值：★★☆☆☆）
It was Lily’s graduation day, and she hoped to get a special present from her parents. Her family wasn’t rich—her dad worked in a store selling goods, and they could barely afford daily expenses.
After the ceremony, Lily’s mom handed her a small box. Inside was a silver chain with a tiny heart. “It’s not expensive, but we saved every cent for it,” her mom said. Lily held out her hand, and her mom put the chain around her neck.
Later, Lily found a note in the box: “Dear Lily, love is the best gift—no money can buy it.” She hugged her parents, tears in her eyes. This present, she knew, was more valuable than any expensive thing.

第二篇：说明文 - 美国人的送礼文化（分值：10分 难度值：★★★☆☆）
In America, giving gifts is a way to show care, but it’s not about how expensive they are. For example, at a friend’s birthday, a homemade cake or a photo album with shared memories is more meaningful than a costly present.
People often count the thought behind the gift. A student might draw a picture for a teacher, or a wife might knit a scarf for her husband. When choosing a gift, it’s important to think about the person’s hobbies—if they love reading, a book is better than a chain.
Stores often have sections for affordable gifts, like small goods or handwritten notes. The key rule Avoid expensive items that make others feel uncomfortable. After all, the best gifts come from the heart.

第三篇：议论文 - 礼物的真正价值（分值：10分 难度值：★★★☆☆）
Is a good gift about price No—its value lies in thought, not cost.
Many people think expensive presents are better, but a survey shows 80% of people remember homemade gifts longer. For example, a child’s drawing for a parent or a handwritten note from a friend is often cherished more than a silver chain. These gifts fix the giver’s love on the receiver, creating lasting memories.
Some are accused of being “cheap” for giving simple gifts, but this is wrong. A gift that fits the person’s needs—like a book for a reader—shows more care than an expensive but useless item.
In the end, the best gifts say, “I know you,” not “I can spend a lot.”

C. Silver chains. D. Money.
