A gd gift is ne that is mre valuable fr the recipient than it is fr the giver. But mst gifts destry value rather than create it. Think f the Christmas-tree-shaped ckie jar that cst yur aunt 530 but is wrth cnsiderably less than zer t yu, psing a mral cnundrum (难题): D yu thrw it right int the trash r wait a cuple f mnths? The ecnmist Jel Waldfgel calls this discrepancy the “deadweight lss” f gifts, and estimates that, n average, it is frm 10 percent t a third f a gift’s price.
One explanatin fr the deadweight lss is a mismatch between desirability and feasibility. Cnsider n gadget that is useful (high disability) but difficult t set up and time-cnsuming t use (lw feasibility). Schlars have fund that givers usually fcus n desirability, and receivers are mre aware f feasibility. Yur friend wh bught yu a fancy wearable fitness tracker prbably thught it was a really cl and helpful gift; t yu, it seems like a massive headache t figure ut, requires an app dwnlad and a mnthly fee, and ffers data that will either make yu feel terrible abut yurself r turn int a life-ruining bsessin. That’s why it is still sitting in yur drawer in its riginal package.
Anther happiness-killing mismatch can ccur between the receiver’s initial reactin and their lng-term satisfactin. As Anna Gldfarb nted in The Atlantic a few weeks ag, givers tend t lk fr “reactin-maximizing gifts” (such as the wife’s ver-the-tp respnse t the car) as ppsed t “satisfactin-maximizing gifts.” Once the giver is nt present t see the receiver’s reactin, the receiver might nt actually be that excited abut scks with her best friend’s face n them.
Smene lking fr a big reactin might be tempted t buy a wildly expensive gift, which pses its wn emtinal prblems. In the wrst cases, they may even be trying t exert dminance ver yu, r manipulate yu int ding them a favr later. Either way, receiving a gift that’s t nice might make yu feel guilty. Accrding t ne 2019 survey frm CmpareCards, 46 percent f respndents felt guilty fr being unable t give a gift wrth as much as the ne they received.
In truth, the biggest benefit t mst gift giving is t the giver herself. Genersity is truly a way t buy happiness. As my clleague Michael Nrtn and his c-authrs shwed in the jurnal Science in 2008, althugh spending mney n neself is weakly related t happiness, spending mney n thers significantly rises the giver’s well-being. Neurscientists have shwn that charitable giving t thers engages the reward system, inducing pleasure in ne f the same ways that alchl and certain drugs d. (Maybe this is the real reasn Santa is s jlly.)
24. What des “deadweight lss” f gifts in para.1 refer t?
A. The value the gift creates rather than destrys.
B. The mney the giver spends n a meaningful gift
C. The gd-will and thughtfulness f the gift giver.
D. The lss f the gift value in the eyes f the receiver.
25. Hw wuld the receiver describe the ‘fancy wearable fitness tracker’ as a gift?
A. Fashinable and practical.B. Unfriendly and upsetting.
C. Desirable and satisfactry.D. Expensive and unwrthy.
26. What makes the receiver nt excited abut scks printed with her best friend’s face?
A. That the giver is nt present t see the receiver’s reactin.
B. That the receiver was expecting smething wildly expensive.
C. Tht the giver is cnfused abut what gift brings satisfactin.
D. That the receiver was expecting smething he/she truly wants.
27. Which f the fllwing best describes the main idea f this article?
A. It is in giving that givers receive.
B. Gift-giving is in mst cases a win-win situatin.
C. The greatest gift yu can give is yur time and attentin.
D. Presents are generally terrible, but they can still bring yu jy.

She said the US gvernment has designated (指定) Mandarin as an “imprtant needs” language and prvides prfessinal develpment prgrams fr teachers. “Our gvernment wants t increase ur language ability fr natinal security and ecnmic cmpetitiveness,” Abbtt added.
At the same time, the Chinese gvernment is spreading knwledge f the Chinese language and culture thrugh Cnfucius Institutes set up in many US states. Fr example, the Cnfucius Institute at the University f Texas in Dallas has been the hme f a Cnfucius Institute fr 10 years. It spnsrs Cnfucius Classrms at 21 lcal public and private schls, where tens f thusands f students are learning Mandarin.
28. Why did Thmas Cheatham decide t study Mandarin instead f Latin?

B. Mandarin culd be helpful t his future career.
C. Mandarin might help him learn mre abut China.
D. Mandarin culd enable him t study cmputer engineering.

B. Thse skilled at Chinese will be the mst cmpetitive in the future.
C. The US gvernment’s plicy has helped ppularize Mandarin in the US.
D. Americans learn Mandarin because they wrry abut their natinal security.
