Good gift giving is an art. The perfect present can lift mood or improve a relationship. It can repair a wrong doing, or simply remind a loved one that you care.16. ? We spoke to some experts to help us make a simple guide to gifting.

★Don't add a small gift to a big gift

17. ? Some flowers to go with a bottle of grand French champagne (香槟)? Don’ t .When we receive gifts, we tend to unconsciously average out their value, so a small gift attached to a big one will hurt the latter’s influence.

★Gift experiences rather than things

A brand new iPhone becomes old fast. But a dream vacation or seeing your favorite artist in concert will give you memories that last forever. “Experiences often have more thought gone into them.18. . We might remember the tablet that a friend or a loved one has bought us, but not as much as a two-week holiday to Florida- the memories and the emotional attachment are greater than to a physical object,”explained Farrelly.

★Think like the receiver

Let s put it very simply: buy things that your receiver would buy for themselves. That might seem obvious.19. . People tend to use gifts as jokes, encouragements to change one's ways, or to signal something about themselves rather than providing happiness to the receiver.

The best way to get it right is to ask the frank question, \★ 20.

The last rule is a no-brainer: remember the gift of giving. A study finds that spending money on others promotes happiness. The good feelings you may experience from giving someone a gift they love may also last longer than spending money on ourselves. A. Be generous enough

B. Is that always the way people do C. So are there a set of rules to follow D. And they create more vivid memories E.But it happens far less than we' d like F.Spend more on others than on yourself G.Do you attempt to add a tie to an expensive shirt

17.G 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本句的标题为“Don't add a small gift to a big gift（不要把小礼物加在大礼物上）”，根据空格后的 “Some flowers to go with a bottle of grand French champagne (香槟)? Don’ t (一些鲜花配一瓶法国香槟？不要这样)”，可知，此处也是这样的一个例子，并且也是一个问句，分析选项可知G选项Do you attempt to add a tie to an expensive shirt（你想在一件昂贵的衬衫上加一条领带吗？）符合语境，故选G。

18.D 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段的小标题是“Gift experiences rather than things”结合本段中的“give you memories that last forever.（会给你留下永恒的回忆）”、“remember”、“...the emotional attachment are greater than to a physical object(情感上的依恋比物质上的依恋更大)”，由此可知，本段主要叙述的是礼物的体验更重要，可能会让人永生难忘。D项And they create more vivid memories（它们创造了更生动的记忆）与本段意义一致，由此可知D项与本段意义一致，故选D。

20.F 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。空格处在本段中是小标题。本段主要叙述了“...spending money on others promotes happiness. The good feelings you may experience from giving someone a gift they love may also last longer than spending money on ourselves.” 把钱花在别人身上能增进幸福感。给某人一份他们爱的礼物，你可能会体验到的美好感觉，也可能比花在自己身上的钱的感觉更持久。由此可推断出我们应多给别人买礼物，多把钱花在别人身上。分析选项可知F项Spend more on others than on yourself符合句意，故选F。

（3）2020届山西省高三高考考前适应性测试

With high rents and low wage growth, it's hardly surprising that young adults increasingly rely on parents for financial support. 16. A survey last year estimated that the $500 billion in financial help that parents give adult children is double what those same parents manage to save for retirement. Nearly 75% parents reported they put their adult kids' needs ahead of retirement.

17. The less you have saved for retirement, the more likely you will feel money-stressed in retirement---that' s not the goal, right? —and you may end up needing to rely on your kids for help in your later years. That' s surely not an outcome the entire family wants.

The decision to provide financial support for an adult child is, of course, personal. That said, if you have even the tiniest worries about retirement security, you owe it to your entire family to reconsider your support. Not overnight, but by setting a timeline expectation for when your child will be independent. 18.

Let adult kids contribute to family expenses. Once an adult child has a job, even if they are still living at home, it's time to have them participate in paying bills. At least, they should pay their share of a family cellphone plan.

19. Helping an adult child get established is one thing, but often help can extend into financing a nicer — than — needed lifestyle. For example, give money for groceries so they don't exist on a poor diet. 20. However, buying for a new car (which should be a used car) or contributing to rent for their own place (rather than shared) is you not setting smart limits.

Anyway, you must have enough savings to take care of yourself. A. Set limits on what you will help with. B. Make a major financial sacrifice for adult kids.

C. Besides, helping rent a shared apartment is also reasonable. D. While the support is financial, we' re not talking pocket money.
