Compared to the difficult experience of choosing gifts running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and a pair of gloves for Grandma, spending money is nothing. I felt too tired to think of any special gifts. Knowing Kevin felt the same way, I decided one year not to buy the usual gifts. I reached for something special just for Kevin. The inspiration came in an unusual way. Our son Kris, who was 12 that year, was wrestling at the junior level at the school; and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team sponsored by a church. These youngsters, dressed in such worn-out shoes that shoe strings seemed to be the only thing holding them tender while our boys were in their blue and gold uniforms and new wrestling shoes.As the match began, I was shocked to see that the other team were wrestling without helmets to protect their ears. Well. our boys ended up defeating them. We took every weight class. Kevin, scented beside me, shook his head sadly, "I wish just one of them could have won." he said. "They have a lot potential, but losing like this could take the heart out of them. "Kevin loved kids-al kids, andhe knew them, having coached them for baseball skills. That's when the idea for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought different kinds of wrestling helmets und shoes. I sent them to the church without leaving my name.On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Kevin what I had done and that was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and since then the envelope has become the highlight of our Christmas.26. Why did Kevin hate Christmas?A. Because he didn't want to waste money.B. Because he disliked buying anything special.C. Because he had a hard time choosing gifts.D. Because he didn't like the true meaning of Christmas.27. What can we infer( 推断) about the team sponsored by the church?A. The team failed to practice hard.B. Kris was probably their baseball coach.C. They were sure to win if they had helmets.D. They couldn't afford wrestling helmets.28. How did Kevin feel about the team's failure?A. Upset     B. Hopeless     C. Doubtful.      D. Shameful.29. Why did she send gifs to the church without leaving her name?A. To avoid unnecessary thanks.B. To have a guessing game with kids.C. To give Kevin a surprise.D. To protect her personal information.30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. The Wrestling Match                B. A Special ChristmasC. The White Envelope                 D. A Caring WifeCNowadays, we almost never write things by hand. However, a new brain research, led by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, confirms the same; choosing handwriting instead of using a keyboard results in better learning and memory.The study was carried out using equipment to record brain wave activity, The participants included 12 young adults and 12 children. Each subject was asked to write by hand und type on a keyboard while wearing a "hat" with 250 electrodes. The sensors in the electrodes pick up the electrical activity that takes place in the brain. Each examination took 45 minutes per person.The results showed the brain in both young adults and children is much more active when writing than when typing on a keyboard. Audrey holds that plenty of senses are activated by pressing the pen, seeing the letters written and hearing the sound make while writing. These senses open the brain up for learning.Audrey believes the result stresses the importance of children being challenged to write at an early age, especially at school. "Learning lo write by hand is a bit slower process、but it's important for kids to go through the tiring period of learning to write by hand," she said.The hand movements which are used to write the letters have certain advantages. "If you use a keyboard, you use the same movement for each letter. Writing by hand requires your fine motor skills and senses. It's important to put the brain in a learning state as often as possible," Audrey added, "for example, you might use a keyboard to write an essay, but you should take notes by hand during a lecture."31. How did the researchers confirm the opinion?A. By telling stories.B. By doing experiments.C. By making surveys. D. By learning from experience32. What do we know about the study?A. The study invited 250 participants in total.B. Almost no children like writing by hand at an early age.C. The brain in children is much more active than young adults when writing in hand.D. The sensor in the electrodes were used to record the brain wave activity.33. Why does the brain become more active when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard according to Audrey?A. More senses are made active when writing by hand.B. Writing by hand is easier on the brain.C. People feel bored when typing on the keyboard.D. Les noise will be created when writing in hand.34. According to Audrey, how does handwriting influence people?A. It makes people to study in a quiet way.B. It greatly increases-people's interest in studies.C. It helps people to develop fine motor skills.D. It allows people to write better essays.35. What's the main purpose of the text?A. To show writing in hands is the best way to lean.B. To report on a new research on handwriting.C. To advise children to start to write as early as possible.D. To explain how handwriting affects adults and children differently.D  Your parents give a thumb-up for good grades.
