Christmas Day is for eating, drinking, watching bad TV－and trying to cover up your embarrassment as you realize your husband’s aunt Maud has spent her pension on your present while you bought her a set of Christmas cards.
Present-buying can be a minefield：from how much to spend, to whether to risk surprising receivers with a gift they don’t want, to knowing if you should buy your neighbor you only say hello to a little something.
Here, FEMAIL has asked experts for their top tips on how to select present to ensure the only thing that’s red this Christmas is Santa Claus’ nose.
“If you’ve just started seeing someone you don’t need to spend a fortune，” says dating advisor James Preece.
“It’s much better to impress them with your imagination by choosing a gift that’s a little bit different.￡20 is about the right amount, with a maximum of ￡50 if you can afford it.”
“Or you don’t even need to go that far”， says relationship expert and founder of BeLoveCurious.com, Helen Rice.“Plan to spend a romantic evening together or have a fun day out.Feel free to give the person you’re dating something thoughtful, just don’t spend a lot of money.”
“If you’re in a long-term relationship then your budget really reflects on your personal situation，” adds James.“You don’t need to go crazy, but it’s a great opportunity to show you love and appreciate them.”
“It’s also best to buy a few cheaper presents rather than big ones.Part of the fun is the mystery and unwrapping, so it will last longer if you give them several to enjoy.”

(2)无论引导哪种从句，当其所表示的情况是事实或具有很大可能性时，通常用陈述语气；当其所表示的情况不是事实，而是主观的想象或夸大性的比喻时，通常用虚拟语气。虚拟语气中动词时态的判断标准如下：
②She treats the baby as if/though he________(be) her own child.她就像对待自己的孩子一样对待这个婴儿。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
When I was a kid, I always used to wonder how in the world my father worked outside in the winter without a coat.It could be －20℃ and there’d be Dad, removing snow, or perhaps chopping some wood－his coat thrown aside－wearing a shirt, a cap, and a pair of gloves.
“Aren’t you cold, Dad？”I’d ask.“No，”Dad would reply.“I’m not cold－working too hard to be cold.”
Many times I wondered whether my father was an extremely tough man, or whether he was foolish.
One time when I was quite young, perhaps five or so, I went ice fishing with Dad.It was a bright, clear day－and bitterly cold.
After we’d been out on the ice for a little while, my feet started getting cold.
“Daddy, my feet are cold.”I said.
“Tell you what，”he said.“Walk around.Make some circles in the snow.See how many different patterns you can make.That will get your feet warm.”
Now, I was just a little girl at the time but I remember thinking，“How in the world will walking around in the snow make my feet warm？Dad must be out of mind.”
But he was my father, after all.I made circles in the snow.I made squares.Pretty soon I was having so much fun making patterns in the snow.I forgot about my feet being cold.
Now, all these years later, I know, too, from personal experience how my father was able to take his coat off and work outside in the winter wearing just a shirt, a cap and gloves.Because I do it, too.“Aren’t you cold？”my husband asked one winter day.“No，”I replied.“I’m not cold－working too hard to be cold.”
I hope my husband has decided I’m both tough and smart.But I guess quite a bit of the time he thinks I’m foolish.
Wherever Dad is in that great big farm in the sky－I’m sure he can’t help but smile whenever I take my coat off while I’m working outside in the winter.
[语篇解读] 作者回忆父亲在寒冬脱掉外衣，不顾寒冷忘我的工作，父亲告诉自己如何抵御寒冷，多年后，作者的经历让作者意识到了父亲的坚强和睿智。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
There is an endless supply of stories about sleepwalkers.People have been said to climb on roofs, solve maths problems, write music, walk through windows，and do murder in their sleep.
In Revere, Massachusetts, a hundred policemen searched for a lost boy who left his home in his sleep and woke up five hours later on a strange sofa in a strange living room, with no idea how he had got there.
At the University of Lowa, a student was reported to have the habit of getting up in the middle of the night and walking three-quarters of a mile to the Lowa River.He would take a swim and then go back to his room to bed.
An American expert on sleep claims(声称) that he has never seen a sleepwalker.He is said to know more about sleep than any other living man, and during the last thirty-five years he has lost a lot of sleep watching people sleep.He says，“Of course, I know that there are sleepwalkers because I have read about them in the newspapers.But none of my sleepers ever walked, and if I were to advertise for sleepwalkers for an experiment, I doubt whether I would get many takers.”
Sleepwalking, however, is a scientific reality.It is one of those strange things that sometimes look quite fantastic(奇特的).Doctors say that sleepwalking is much more common than is generally supposed.Many sleepwalkers do not try to find help and their sleepwalking is never recorded.
[语篇解读] 关于梦游者有很多的故事，文中列举了一些梦游的例子。有美国专家也在研究此事，但是梦游者很少去寻求帮助。

In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a “weight problem”.To many people, the cause is clear：we eat too much.But scientific evidence does little to support this idea.Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food.In those days people worked harder physically, walked more，used machines much less, and didn’t watch television.
Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people don’t eat more on average than thinner people.In fact, some investigations, such as a 1970 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.
Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people.A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts.The more the men ran, the greater loss of body fat.The more they ran, the greater their increase in food intake(吸收).Thus those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost greatest amount of body fat.

C.100. D.150.
解析 数字计算题。由第一段第一句提到的比例可知，有500×30%＝150人。
答案 D
6.Is there scientific evidence to support eating too much is the cause of a “weight problem”？
A.Yes, there is plenty of evidence.
B.Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.
C.There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.
D.We don’t know because the information is not given.

Dear_Tom,_
Last Saturday evening，my friends and I went to a restaurant to attend my classmate Wang Lin’s birthday party.We brought him many pretty gifts, and shared a big birthday cake.Then we had dinner happily together.After that, we sang songs and danced.In the end, we returned home by taxi.All of us had a good time.
Nowadays, more and more students celebrate their birthdays in restaurants.There are different voices from people.But personally, I think it is OK.With the improvement of people’s living standard, we can do things we like with our pocket money.
On the one hand, it’s a good chance for us to communicate with each other, which can promote our friendship.On the other hand, we can also relax ourselves after a week’s hard work, and free ourselves from high pressures.
What’s your opinion?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,_
Li_Ming

Festivals and celebrations of all kinds have been held everywhere since ancient times.Most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of cold weather, planting in spring and harvest in autumn.Sometimes celeb-rations would be held after hunters had caught animals.At that time people would starve if food was difficult to find, especially during the cold winter months.Today’s festivals have many origins, some religious, some seasonal, and some for special people or events.
节日和庆典
自古以来，世界各地就有各种各样的节日和庆典。大多数古老的节日庆祝严寒的结束、春季的种植和秋天的收获。有时，在猎人(hunter)捕获猎物后，也举行庆祝活动。在那个时代，如果食物难以找到，特别是在寒冷的冬月，人们就会挨饿(starve)。现在的节日有很多由来(origin)，一些是宗教上的(religious)，一些是季节性的(seasonal)，一些是纪念特殊的人或事件的。
Spring Festivals
The most energetic and important festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winter and to the coming of spring.At the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings, fish and meat and may give children lucky money in red paper.There are dragon dances and carnivals，and families celebrate the Lunar New Year together. Some Western countries have very exciting carnivals, which take place forty days before Easter, usually in February.
These carnivals might include parades, dancing in the streets day and night, loud music and colourful clothing of all kinds.Easter is an important religious and social festival for Christians around the world.Itcelebrates the return of Jesus from the dead and the coming of spring and new life.Japan’s Cherry Blossom Festival happens a little later.The country, covered with cherry tree flowers, looks as though it is covered with pink snow.
People love to get together to eat, drink and have fun with each other.Festivals let us enjoy life, be proud of our customs and forget our work for a little while.
春天的节日
最富生气(energetic)而又最重要的节日，就是告别冬天、迎来(look forward to)春天的日子。中国人过春节要吃饺子、鱼和肉，还要给孩子们送红纸包着的压岁钱。(他们)舞龙灯、狂欢(carnival)，全家人聚在一起欢庆阴历(lunar)新年。在一些西方国家有激动人心的狂欢节，通常在2月，复活节(Easter)前的40天。狂欢节期间，人们身着各种艳丽的节日盛装(clothing)，伴随着喧闹的音乐，在街头游行(parade)，昼夜(day and night)跳舞。复活节是全世界基督教徒(Christian)的一个重要的宗教和公众节日。它庆祝耶稣复活，也欢庆春天和新生命的到来。再晚些时候，日本就迎来了樱花节。(节日里)整个国度到处是盛开的樱花，看上去就像(as though)覆盖了一层粉红色的雪。
人们喜欢聚在一起吃、喝、玩耍(have fun with)。节日让我们享受生活，让我们为自己的习俗(custom)而自豪，还可以暂时忘掉工作中的烦恼。
