A report by the Consumer Electronics Association says electronics are among the most popular gifts being bought this holiday season.
Jim Barry is a spokesman for the Consumer Electronics Association. He says the CEA study found that electronics represent three of the top five things on its "holiday gift wish list" this year.
JIM BARRY: "Notebook computers are at the top, followed by iPads and then e-readers. IPad is a touch-screen tablet computer and that's really the big player in that category."
The computer company Apple began selling its small, touch-screen computers in April. People use the touch-screen computers to surf the Web, write e-mails, watch movies and read books. Since the iPad's release earlier this year, several other companies have come out with their own tablet computers just in time for Christmas.
A report from the e-Marketer research group predicts that worldwide, tablet sales will reach more than eighty-one million in two thousand twelve. Still, Jim Barry says these devices are facing tough competition this year from another Christmas favorite.
JIM BARRY: "Another hot category right behind that are the e-readers. So you can read on an iPad or a touch-screen tablet, but the e-book readers are less expensive. The Kindle is the market leader there, from Amazon. But you also have the Nook from Barnes and Noble and the e-reader from Sony. And you have more and more of those e-readers coming into the market as well."
The Consumer Electronics Association report found that iPod music players are also in high demand this holiday season.
But not all of the things on the holiday gift wish list involved electronics. Clothes, cars and motorcycles also made the list. So did family togetherness and good health. And the one thing that people wanted most?
JIM BARRY: "At the top of the list was peace and happiness."
That is also our wish for you this holiday season.
【小題1】The best title of the passage is .
A.How to choose a suitable gift for Christmas |

A.surf the Web and write e-mails |
B.watch movies and read books |
C.surf the Web and contact others on phone |
D.surf the internet and use it as an e-reader |
A.iPads are the most popular gift among all the electronics. |
B.Only the computer company Apple releases a touch-screen tablet computer. |

D.There are more and more kinds of e-readers in the market. |

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從下框A-F選項(xiàng)中選出能概括每段主題的最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該選項(xiàng)涂黑。選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)為多余項(xiàng)。
A.People from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature.
B.Different values are against each other.
C.Culture differences can cause serious problems.
D.Talk and silence can be culturally different.
E.Relationship building is important in different cultures.
F.Understanding people from different culture is not easy.
【小題1】
Meeting people from another culture can be difficult.From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal.They may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
【小題2】
Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree.For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust.Even with people at work, it 1s necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job.In many European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
【小題3】
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures.I once made a speech in Thailand.I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence.The people present just stared at me and smiled.After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much.In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
【小題4】
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems.Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.We think that they are rude.In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
【小題5】
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other.However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural(多元文化的) environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

【小題1】 People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of other things they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.
Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. 【小題2】 One of the first kinds of money was shells.
Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money for a long time. Elephant tusks, monkey tails and salt were used as money in parts of Africa.
The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the centre. 【小題3】 Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. 【小題4】 Sweden and Russia used copper (銅) to make their money. Later some countries began to make coins of gold and silver.
But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. 【小題5】 The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than the paper money used today.
Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.
A.The first coins in England were made of tin (錫). |
B.But people used to use all kinds of things as money. |
C.No one knows for certain when people began to use money. |
D.People strung (串連) them together and carried them from place to place. |

Dear Liz,
My stay in Thailand has certainly been the experience of my life.
Life is busy and exciting. Bangkok is just like any other big city with a population of 10 million and heavy traffic. I’m very lucky because my host family is in a nice quiet area outside the city. There are Mr. and Mrs. Phairat, their son Sanan, who is 18, the daughter Chinda, who is 16, and Grandpa and Grandma.
I, with Sanan and Chinda, go to an international school that teaches about 70 percent in English and 30 percent in Thai. I’ve learned some spoken language, but Thai writing is very difficult. The cooking lesson is my favourite. I’m learning all about Thai food and culture. People don’t use chopsticks here, but spoons and forks. After coming back, I’ll cook you a real Thai meal.
Last weekend we visited some temples and then drove to Pattaya beach near Bangkok. I thought it was great, but Sanan and Chinda say that next month they’re taking me to Phuket Island, where the beaches are even more beautiful. The month after next, we’re going to travel to Mr. Phairat’s hometown in the north of Thailand. The Phairats own land there, and they have two elephants. I’m going to ride those elephants – and even wash them. Sanan and Chinda say it’s really fun.
I’m amazed by everything in this country, especially by the elephants. Elephants are an important part of Thai culture and way of life. They have been a traditional symbol (象征) of Thailand for many years in times of war and peace. In the seventh century, a Thai king trained 20,000 elephants for battle.
I’ll tell you all about my Thai boxing (拳擊) lessons next time I write.
Mandy
51. How many family members are there in Mandy’s host family?
A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 7
52. Mandy writes in her e-mail that the _________ lesson is her favourite.
A. Thai speaking B. cooking C. Thai writing D. boxing
53. From the e-mail we know that Mandy is _________ when she stays in Thailand.
A. excited B. quiet C. bored D. proud
54. What is the possible subject of the e-mail?
A. Food culture in Thailand. B. Study trip in Thailand .
C. Elephant riding in Thailand . D. International schools in Thailand.
